: Station Maintenance [1340]

- replaced battery (large battery setup)

: Station Maintenance [0900]

- replaced battery

- adjusted station solar panel

: Station Maintenance [0900]

- replaced battery

: Station Maintenance [1605]

- Moved data-colletion to new LoggerNet Server

- Loaded Logger Program: AACF (hourly cycle)

: Station Maintenance [1200]

- Solar panel cleaned.

- Battery replacement planned

: Data Correction [1300]

- Recent battery failure led to the introduction of some

faulty data as well as eventual data loss after the

battery completely died. Data during the following

time periods was either removed or was missing:

01/17/11 (d=017) 07:05 - 01/17/11 (d=017) 10:00

01/18/11 (d=018) 21:05 - 01/26/11 (d=026) 16:00

: Data Correction [1400]

- Several periods of faulty data were removed from the

data archive. It appears that power issues (weak

battery) lead to faulty data during the following

time periods which has since been removed:

11/26/10 (d=330) 19:05 - 11/27/10 (d=331) 10:00

12/12/10 (d=346) 22:05 - 12/14/10 (d=348) 12:00

12/14/10 (d=348) 17:05 - 12/15/10 (d=349) 09:00

: Station Maintenance [1300]

- Replaced wireless broadband modem

: Station Maintenance [1500]

- Added "battery voltage" to hourly data table

: Station Maintenance [1150]

- Replaced land-line with wireless broadband.

- Loaded MAWN Program AACF (hourly power cycle)

: Station Maintenance (sm)

- Replaced Anemometer [14:00].

- Replaced Temperature/Relative Humidity Sensor (HMP45C) [14:05].

- Replaced Soil Moisture A (10 cm) [14:30].

- General Station Maintenance and System Checks:

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

- Work was done approx: 14:00 - 14:35 (Day=273)

: 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=420.

: 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.

: Phone Number Change.

- Area code for the HAWKS region was changed over the

past weekend from "517" to "989". Phone number was

modified to reflect this change.

: 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=1320.

Only Observation Times were modified, not times of

Maxs and Mins. Users will need to take that into

consideration when using this data.

: Installed Leaf Wet A - NE Fence Post, Facing North,

Height = ~39".

Notes:

- High grass prety much everywhere. Soil temps

and soil moisture probes completely covered

with tall grass. Time: ~ 2:48pm

- Roundup appears to have been applied south of

tipping bucket rain gauge.

- Tall grass may eventually cover Leaf Wet A.

: Downloaded all data, uploaded MAWN1B (replacing MAWN1BW).

Day=107, hhmm=0035

: Fixed old data to reflect recent change in "mawn1b" program

- padded missing values to 5-minute data.

: Updated "mawn1b" to include Wind Speed, Air Temp, and Relative

Humidity in 5-minute data.

: Phone Line To Station Activated.

- Hawks station added to MAWN database
