This morning woke up to a light dusting of snow, maybe around 1 cm is what I would guess. There were very low clouds and some fog around soldier hallow but everything cleared and it became sunny with some wind later in the day.
At around 0936 I turned off the profiler to clear off the antennas and rass speakers, and it was only off for about 10 mins. Profiler is still running well. Took DC power observations this afternoon. In 100m mode @ 1355 50V supply was drawing 4.04A and @ 1400 in 150m rass mode 50V supply was drawing 3.39A.
Since everything was in working order and the PI's have called no IOP's for the next 72 hours, Isabell and I spent a couple hours XC skiing at soldier hallow. We claim it was training for the SOS project that is possibly coming up later in the year.
The rest of the afternoon I started looking into a new full set of cabling for the 449 since it seems like previous snow drifts are now just built up ice walls all around and in the middle of the antenna frame which may be difficult to get to all the cabling during tear down if there is little defrosting. The ground in the enclosure is basically just ice at the moment too.
Today for the sounding I did a full reboot of the system, including reseating the usb for the ground check unit, to beginning retrying the faulty radio sondes. I think I may have figured out the solution to these ones with the RH level limit issues. When they go back on the ground check unit they instantly flash red, but it seems it saves the last data telling the sonde it is bad, which I didn't realize. When it ran through an entire ground check again the RH issue cleared and the sonde checked good. I even got surface measurements on the software today instead of having to obtain them through the DSM dashboard. The next couple days I will try the same with the other two sondes that had this issue.
