- routine station maintenance
- installed new leaf wetness mount
- install soil sensors (i.e. soil temp/moisture)
- Station added to Enviroweather/MAWN database system
- Data Collection and Data Archive for new station begins:
First data report: March 23, 2019 (d=082) 00:05
- Loaded MAWN Program: rfw-bssd
rfw => Station ID (conklin)
b => CR1000/MI (Logger/Site)
s => SDI-12 [CS650] (Soil Moisture)
s => SDI-12 [HygroVue10] (Temp/RH)
d => LWS-L (Leaf Wetness) [no canopy]
- Now able to collect raw weather data.
- Established telecommunication between station cell-modem
and data-collection PC/server on campus.
- station setup/activated at field site
