- replaced SC932A interface cable
- annual maintenance
- replaced canopy leaf wetness sensor (237 -> LWS-L)
- loaded logger program: rom-bbab
- NOTE: canopy leaf wetness appears to be faulty
- annual maintenance, including:
- replacement of leaf wetness (237 -> LWS-L)
- connected ATMP/RELH (HMP45C) to continous power
- replaced both soil temperature sensors
- replaced air temp/rh sensor
- moved data-collection to new LoggerNet server
- loaded logger program "bbaa-rom"
- Replaced faulty Air Temperature sensor.
- Replaced Pyranometer (solar radiation)
- Due to faulty sensor, solar radiation data marked as
"missing" for following time period:
08/22/2013 (d=234) 0005 - 09/13/2013 (d=256) 1300
- It appears that "solar radiation" troubles continue
- Some apparent battery/power issues led to a loss of data
for the following period:
07/07/2013 (d=188) 0405 - 07/10/2013 (d=191) 1200
- Wireless modem replaced... new IP assigned
- Replaced fauly air temp/rh sensor.
- Faulty data reported during following time period will be
marked as "missing":
03/20/2013 (d=079) 1455 - 03/26/2013 (d=085) 1240
- Loaded updated Logger Program BBAA-ROM. Logger now
set to collect on a 30-minute cycle from Apr - Sep.
- Routine Spring Maintenance, including:
- Weed-Control (removal and herbicide application)
- Faulty logger and/or logger program introduced two
periods of missing data:
12/13/10 (d=347) 24:00 - 12/14/10 (d=348) 08:05
12/15/10 (d=349) 21:00 - 12/16/10 (d=350) 08:10
However, there was no hourly data at all during the
following (due to missing hourly data table:
12/13/10 (d=347) 24:00 - 12/20/10 (d=354) 12:00
Since the logger program was reloaded at noon on
12/20/10, everything appears to be opertating
normally again.
NOTE: Daily records during days with missing data
were removed from the data archive as they
contained faulty and incomplete data.
- Some questions of quality of wind direction prior to
program change in Aug, 2008. Therefore, wind direction
was marked as "missing" during the following time period:
03/29/08 (d=089) 00:05 - 08/17/08 (d=230) 03:35
- General station maintenance and system checks. [15:00]
- Wind direction data reported during the following
time period was corrected:
03/29/08 (d=089) 00:05 - 08/17/08 (d=230) 03:31
- MAWN Program (BBC-ROM) was loaded at 03:31. New
program corrects multiplier used to calculate wind
direction.
- 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"
- Work was done approx: 11:30 - 1230 (Day=228)
- Soil Moisture (Sensor 0) was repaired. As
of 13:00 (d=95), sensor reporting properly.
- Station added to MAWN web site.
- Data Collection and Data Archive for new station begins:
First data report: Mar 29, 2008 - 00:05 (Day=089)
- Established telecommunication between station cell-modem and
data collection PC/server on campus.
- Loaded MAWN Program: MAWN_BBC
B => CR1000
B => CS616
C => Broadband Cell Modem (IP)
- Now able to collect raw weather data.
