cold rain/mist all day, that got a lot of stuff (including the field crew!) soaked.
Dan did a bunch of things (he can edit):
- further work to diagnose faulty sonics
- rented a skidsteer and dug out the road to the DCS gate
- parked the rental trailer at the sounding site for ISS
- Removed faulty sonic from sh
- Installed snow depth at mh
In the meantime, Isabel and I had a supersite day:
- PRS
- stripped everything from Sebastian's darkhorse and rerouted cables
- Installed 0.5m Rlw pair. This required moving the ventillator wires from being bundled with 7m and 32m for the intercomparison, to the 2m Rsw and Rlw ventillation system.
- Installed uplooking 2m Rlw.in, but removed 2m Rsw.out, since the mounting scheme for Rsw.out.2m had to change
- That was all we could do, since we didn't have the 7m and 32m booms, or plates to finish the Rxx.out.2m mounting (we later recovered plates from dcs, that weren't used)
- DCS
- swapped in a spare modem, since the old one seems to have died. Took restarting NIDAS before the Pi recognized it. Now have prst back on the net.
- exchanged the 35m serial cable to rad_logger with a 5m one, since now much closer
- reinstalled 0.5m Rlw pair to allow more cable length
- dressed cables to darkhorse. In the process, found that the NR01 fan hasn't been connected. At this point, it would be easiest to connect it to the aux power on dcsg
- lowered and tilted down the tower, to allow thermocouple cable installation.
- ran cables to 7m, 17m, and 32m, but didn't have the screws to mount the connectors to the sonics.
- tilted up the tower, but didn't raise.
Still needed:
- PRS
- 1/4-20 bolts and plates (now have) to implement Dan's big plate mounting of Rxx.out.2m, then dress darkhorse cables
- rad booms (need to retrieve from storage). I think I have bolts to mount paddles to these
- all thermocouple stuff
- raise tower
- DCS
- thermocouple screws
- thermocouple logger and cabling for 1,2,3m (UU will do), along with all thermocouples
- raise tower
