10/22/13
Summary:

  • IOP5 is ending.  Not ideal, since north winds were present much of the night.

Actions past 24 hours:

  • near SPN1 fixed(?) by removing battery box diode
  • flr SPN1 perhaps better after reorientation (shouldn't have been the case)
  • rim/near guy wire tensions measured -- range 280--510
  • gravimetric soil samples taken everywhere, offsets of -10 to +2% found.  Data look good with this offset correction.
  • NNE antenna connections checked and found to be okay.  Perhaps a bit of blocking by solar panel.
  • Almost all radiometers cleaned

To dos:

  • Keep checking flr SPN1
  • Generator servicing today

Sensor status:

T/RH: ok.
P: ok
csat u,v: ok
csat ldiag: ok
csat w, tc: ok
kh2o: ok.   Again, one small glitch on flr yesterday.
motes: ok.
Wetness: ok.
radiation: ok.  dfs.flr pattern a little different this morning.
Tsoil: ok
Gsoil: ok
Qsoil: ok.  Offsets based on yesterday's gravimetric samples make the data look reasonable (for the entire experiment).
Cvsoil: ok.
2D sonic: ok
