- Reactivated "live" updates
- Battery replaced
- Modem replaced
- Battery replaced
- Recent logger/battery issues introduced loss of data
during following time periods:
12/16/2011 (d=350) 0705 - 12/16/2011 (d=350) 1100
12/16/2011 (d=350) 1605 - 12/18/2011 (d=352) 1000

- Station was moved approximately 500 ft.
- Station was offline during 1000 - 1120 during the move.
- Telecommunication troubleshooting:
- Replaced all serial cables from logger to modem
- Replaced SC932A interface box
- Reactivated "live" updates
- Recent telecommunication issues have been resolved and "live"
database updates have been reactivated.
- General station maintenance (weed control, sensor checks)
- Precipitation data appears to have been faulty
prior to the repairs made on 05/06/2009. Therefore,
all precipitation data has been marked as "missing"
during the following time period:
01/01/09 [d=001] 00:05 - 05/06/09 [d=126] 15:00
- Soil Temp (4") data appears to have been faulty
prior to the repairs made on 05/06/2009. The sensor
appears to have failed on 11/09/2008 at 20:00.
Therefore, all 4" Soil Temperature data has been
marked as "missing" during the following time period:
11/09/08 [d=314] 20:00 - 05/06/09 [d=126] 15:00
- Repaired faulty tipping-bucket rain gauge.
- Replaced faulty soil temp (4") sensor.
- Replaced faulty datalogger.
- Replaced Wind Sentry.
- Installed Directional Antenna to hopefully improve wireless
broadband connection.
- Current logger seems to be exhibiting some power
issues when the cell modem powers-on which is
leading to some faulty and missing data.
- General station maintenance and system checks, including:
- Soil Moisture sensors now installed vertically:
- MSTR 0: profile of depth = 0 - 12"
- MSTR 1: profile of depth = 12 - 24"
- Wind sentry replaced and calibrated.
- Work was done approx: 1445 - 1530 (Day=164)
- Station added to MAWN web site.
- Data Collection and Data Archive for new station begins:
First data report: May 06, 2008 - 00:05 (Day=127)
- Established telecommunication between station cell-modem and
data collection PC/server on campus.
- Loaded MAWN Program: MAWN_ABCS
A => CR10X
B => CS616
C => Broadband Cell Modem (IP)
S => Summer Schedule (30-minute update)
- Now able to collect raw weather data.
