for following time period:

01/13/2013 (d=013) 2125 - 06/25/2013 (d=176) 0905

: Station Maintenance [1030]

: Data Quality [1500]

- Due to recent sensor failure (e.g. ATMP/RH), all AMTP and

RH data reported durng the following time period were marked

as "missing":

08/22/2011 (d=234) 0140 - 09/09/2011 (d=252) 1415

: Station Maintenace [1415]

- Air Temp/RH has been reporting "junk" since early in the

day on 08/22/2011. Upon investigation, it was determined

that the TEMP/RH sensor had become disconnected. Proper

connection/installation at 2:15pm this afternoon.

: Station Maintenance [1120]

- Old CR10 datalogger was replaced with a CR10X

- Installed new battery

- As of 03/02/2010 (d=061) at 13:00, station is back

online. However, due to recent logger failure data

was lost and is not available for the following time

period:

02/13/10 (d=044) 0605 - 03/01/10 (d=060) 1120

: Data Clean-up [1630]

- Faulty Temp/RH data was introduced into the MAWN

database prior to sensor replacement. Temp/RH

values that were recorded during the following

time period were marked as "missing":

09/08/09 (d=251) 00:40 - 09/11/09 (d=254) 10:35

: Station Maintenance [1035]

: Station Maintenance

- Loaded MAWN Program - ABCF (60-minute power cycle) [0003]

: Station Maintenance

- Several recent hardware changes have not corrected the

communication trouble at Hudson. Sensor and logger

upgrade may be necessary.

*** The Hudson station will be down indefinitely **

: Station Maintenance

- Replaced power supply

- Added 2nd battery

- Replaced modem

- Due to the recent hardware failure, data was lost for

the following time period:

04/18/08 (d=109) 22:05 - 04/23/08 (d=114) 11:00

: Station Maintenance

- Datalogger was replaced for the second time this week

(early logger was not collecting any useful data). As

of 11:05, the replacement logger was collecting data.

- Will need to keep an eye on things for a few days to

determine if the replacement is working properly. Also,

need to monitor to determine if replacement of solid-state

relay continues to improve the "power-glitch" issue.

- Due to the logger replacements this week, data was

lost for the following time period:

04/05/08 (d=096) 21:05 - 04/18/08 (d=109) 11:00

: Data Cleanup (jb)

- Removed several data entries from raw data archive

and MAWN database that were introduced due to the

apparent short-circuiting issue that would sometimes

occur when the wireless modem was powered-on.

Due to the power issue, several data entries during

the following time period where faulty and were

removed from the data archive:

Aug 10, 2007 - Feb 22, 2008

Additional entries may need to be removed depending

on the results of the solid-state relay that was

installed on 02/23/2008.

: Station Maintenance (sm)

- Installed Solid-State Reply which will hopefully

correct short-circuit issue that occasionally

seems to occur when the wireless modem is powered

on.
