Visiting site today, getting ready for EOP2. Need to fix MISS met tower tomorrow.
Everything appears to have operated normally overnight at MISS. Brief period of light northerlies at surface between 16 and 17 UTC this morning. Netrad never got less than -10 W m-2 due to persistent cirrus cloud deck. Donkeys seem to like the trailer, they have congregated all around it. Turned on AC as it looks like it will get warm in here today. I took 5 or 6 photos of the site this morning as well.
Wednesday morning: Breezy and a fair bit of ground clutter this morning. 17:50 Shutting down for generator service and a day of rest and recovery Brian did the 100-hour Kubota service at noon today. Restarted at 23:30 UT (3:30pm) in anticipation of IOP#3 unexpectedly called for 11UT tomorrow (i.e. 3am) All systems came up fine. NOTE: Fuel just above half in the Main tank. Will need fuel by 8am or swidch to day tank for a few extra hours.
Fri Feb 24 Fine clear day. Test drives to a few MISS roving sites around valley (eg, M1, M8, M9, M4, and old mine site from SRP), All seem okay, though we'll need to be careful on the drive in. Set up MISS again at the base site. There seems to be a problem with the KVH - it has the trailer pointing at 5 deg magnetic, when the orientation is actually 342 magnetic (or 356 true - confirmed using a compass reading on a landmark and comparison with a topo map). POP config program used the KVH value so we'll need some way of over-riding this. There was quite a bit of RFI on the profiler (none at MAPR). It disappeared later in afternoon and we weren't able to trace the source.
