- Work was done approx: 1415 - 1435 (Day=200)

- General Station Maintenance and System Checks:

- weed removal and application of Round-Up above soil temps

- sensor placement checked

- anemometer bearings checked

- rain gauge checked for debris - screen replaced

- Work was done approx: 16:40 - 17:00 (Day=152)

: Station Maintenance: (jal)

- Replaced Temperature/Relative Humidity Sensor (HMP45C).

- Replaced Anemometer (Wind Speed).

- General Station Maintenance and System Checks:

- weed removal and application of Round-Up above soil temps

- Work was done approx: 14:45 - 15:00 (Day=245)

: Rain Gage Repair

- Funnel on the tipping-bucket rain gauge was

found to be partially plugged - collected

rainfall would pass through the funnel, but

at a very slow rate. The obstruction was

cleared.

- Exact date/time the obstruction was introduced

is not known. Care should be taken when using

the precipitation data from this station for

the months of June, 2002 and July, 2002. The

total amount of precipitation (storm total)

should be fairly accurate, but there will be

an obvious lag in report times, especially with

the five-minute data, prior to when repairs were

made today.

: Daylight Savings Time Adjustment.

- Daylight Savings Time Started on Day=97, Time=200.

- Time of Obs were modified by one hour (forward)

from Day=97, Time=200 through Day=97, Time=405.

: Daylight Savings Time Adjustment.

- Daylight Savings Time Ended on Day=301, Time=200.

- Time of Obs were modified by one hour (subtracted)

from Day=301, Time=200 through Day=301, Time=605.

: Daylight Savings Time Adjustment.

- Daylight Savings Time Ended on Day=303, Time=200.

- Time of Obs were modified by one hour (subtracted)

from Day=303, Time=200 through Day=304, Time=950.

Only Observation Times were modified, not times of

Maxs and Mins. Users will need to take that into

consideration when using this data.
