ASTER is back on line. The transmit

During bootup a power surge shut aster down. This
may have been due to the air conditioner in Brain's

Since we have moved the barometer to cosmos, removed
the 5m sonic at cosmos, removed twet data from the archive

to go to ops2.

There was moderate spiking last night on the
uw.100.10m sonic.
The w channel on the atiS.50.10m sonic is
off scale.
Tsoil.bush looks suspicious; one of the depths
is reading about 10 deg C higher than the rest.
However, looking at fun.tsoil.plot shows that
the 1cm bush temperature heats up sooner in
the morning than any other soil temperature.
This is likely caused by its particular siting.

Cosmos archive was not running, all covar's dead
At 12:00 PDT when I arrived the archive program was not
running on cosmos and all covars had disappeared.
Rebooted cosmos and restarted the archive and covars at about 12:10PDT.
Apparently all data was lost for cosmos from 10:56 to 12:15.
Perhaps the reason for the crashes is an error message in the sf6_mode.c
calibration function which prints an "Unknown sf6 mode = X" message.
If there are many of these errors, this could cause covar and cockpit to
bog down the data network and things could crash. I removed the
error message from the cal function.
