: Station Maintenance [0005]
- Loaded Logger Program "ABCW" (3-hour collection cycle)
: Station Maintenance [1325]
- Replace wireless broadband modem
: Station Maintenance [1555]
- Added "hourly battery voltage" to hourly database table
: Station Maintenance [0900]
- Routine maintence, including:
- removed debris from tipping-bucket rain gauge
: Station Maintenance: [14:27]
- Installed wireless broadband modem (Cell-IP).
- Loaded MAWN Program "ABCF" (hourly power cycle).
- Non-responding soil moistures sensors corrected. However,
soil moisture data is not available during the following
time period:
07/21/2008 (d=203) 16:00 - 03/11/2009 (d=070) 16:00
: Station Maintenance
- "Winterized" the tipping-bucket precipitation gauge (the
frozen precipitation extension filled with anti-freeze).
: Station Maintenance
- Data logger and short-haul modems were replaced at 15:45.
- Data collection restarted.
- Due to recent logger failure, data was lost for the
following time period:
07/07/08 (d=189) 22:05 - 07/21/08 (d=203) 1535
: Station Maintenance (rm)
- General Station Maintenance (Calibration)
- tests indicate that the tipping-bucket rain gauge may
be underestimating precipitation amounts.
- tipping-bucket was calibrated this morning, but
it appears that additional testing may be needed
(number of clicks not equal to expected amount)
- precipitation values in the database may need to be
adjusted (values may be 20% lower than what was
actually observed).
: Station Maintenance (sm)
- General Station Maintenance and System Checks:
- mounted precipitation bucket on new post
- cleaned/checked precipitation bucket
- reinstalled soil sensors
- cleaned/checked entire system
: Data Transfer Adjustment (sm, jtb)
- New set of FTP scripts installed to work with PC208W. Should
elimiate need to make local updates (truncate) raw data file.
Two new scripts installed/configured:
mawnftp: (ftp recently collected weather data)
mawncopy: (creates backup of raw data file, truncates
original file, transfers backup to server)
- Work was done approx: 13:30 - 15:00 (Day=275)
: Station Maintenance (sm)
- General Station Maintenance and System Checks:
- Replaced Anemometer Bearings [~ 12:45].
- Checked Temperature/Relative Humidity Sensor (HMP45C). No need
to replace as this sensor was calibrated in 03/2004.
- Checked Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge [12:30].
- Repaired Station Grounding. Connection was loose at grounding
rod and grounding wire inside datalogger was not connected. Both
were corrected.
- Work was done approx: 12:20 - 12:50 (Day=275)
: Station Maintenance (crn)
- Site Visit/Spring Maintenance - Sensor Check: All OK
