- 77: SURFACE, Site MISS, Thu 20-Apr-2006 18:12:58 GMT, Radiation restart
MISS surface two , solar radiation was down. Restarted it . Also had to cycle power to the 12 v supply in the rack. Possible problem could have been heat related as neither ac or fan was running. Went down approx 2100z on the 19th restarted approx 1800 on the 20th
- 63: SURFACE, Site Division Creek, Mon 10-Apr-2006 18:44:09 GMT, Solar Campbell calibration corrected
I corrected the Campbell calibration file TREXMSOL.DLD. The last line,
line 9:, of [ 3: polynomial [P55]] was changed from 15.530 to 17.844. The
solar ingest has been restarted with the new DLD file.
- 61: SURFACE, Site Division Creek, Sun 09-Apr-2006 19:13:57 GMT, IR Sensor work
Hal and I noticed the IR sensor looks pretty weird on MISS. Something similar to what was happening in NAME. We have taken the sensor off the stand @12:10 and will look at it for problems and the DLD for problems also.
Yesterday we found there was no battery in the IR sensor. To double check whether there should have been or not, we checked the ISS2 IR sensor and it had a battery. I found a spare battery in the ISS2 sensor case, so I grabbed it and put it in the MISS IR sensor. It seems to have helped some, but Lou also found a mistake in the coeffs put into the DLD file. We'll change that as well and hope for hte best.
- 51: SURFACE, Site Manzanar home TREX , Wed 29-Mar-2006 21:48:01 GMT, Surface Anemometer restored now
Hal and I put on the new anemometer today and renorthed it.
- 49: SURFACE, Site MISS, Tue 28-Mar-2006 22:36:29 GMT, data quality
T,RH data no good since 0800 UTC, under investigation
- 45: SURFACE, Site MISS, Sun 26-Mar-2006 19:22:31 GMT, data quality
IR data has gone out again (since 1600 UTC, Mar 26)
T,rh data from tower between 0230 and 1930 UTC, March 26, were obtained at
ground due to tower being overturned.
- 44: SURFACE, Site MISS, Sun 26-Mar-2006 19:13:47 GMT, Tower damaged
Bad night for tower!
The 10 m tower was blown over during peak wind event last night.
Highest recorded wind speed was 24 ms-1 (no doubt there were higher
gusts up to 30 m s-1).
The metal post connecting the anemometer to the tower was sheared off,
with bottom piece still in the tubing. Front piece of prop vane was driven
into the ground and is badly damaged - though the directional sensor appears
to be working.
TRH tubing also got smashed, amzaingingly the fan and sensors are still working,
housing may be salvageable with plumber glue and duct tape.
Pictures of the damage were taken.
- 40: SURFACE, Site MISS, Fri 24-Mar-2006 21:11:16 GMT, IR data looks funny
IR data reading too low. Started rapid downward trend around 16 UTC
around 16 UTC.
Tried disconnecting and reconnecting.
Also cleaned sensor domes.
- 35: SURFACE, Site Manzanar home TREX , Thu 23-Mar-2006 00:34:27 GMT, Tower moved
We moved the Met tower about 30 m to the NE at 2345 UTC so that it would be
out of the line of site of the MotoSat.
- 4: SURFACE, Site MISS, Sun 26-Feb-2006 20:31:19 GMT,
.
For some reason surface two stoped at approx 2300 on the 25th It was restarted at approx 2030 of the 26th
There is also no radiation and both of these measurements are on the second campbell, so I need to ask gary about that data.
