Clear skies but more haze in the valley today. Warm again, high in the mid-40s. I met a couple of U of U researcher today that have the trailer in the far corner of the Deer Creek supersite and learned that they are studying aerosols with their trailer. The air intakes are unique in that they use stainless steel asparagus pots over their air inlets.
ISS1 – Jacquie noted that the /data drive on the profiler computer was over 90% full and sent a message to Bill, who responded that this reading does not properly reflect the state of the /data drive, so no worries. Otherwise all systems still running nominally with profiler status: @ 1116 100m: 4.62A @ 50V & 1.846A @ 32V, and @ 1130 150m rass: 3.82A @ 50V & 1.892 A @ 32 V
ISS2 – Bill forwarded concerns about fs_/ and fs_/boot directories becoming full to Isabel. Nagios also flagging a warning about the number of logins being high, 22 out of 30. Bill suspects that there may be a lot of ghost processes/logins that have been abandoned. The number of users dropped to 17 in the afternoon and is no longer flagged as a warning.
ISFS – Systems running with nothing to report. I spent the afternoon working with Jacquie in the base trailer. Planning on travelling to Lake Creek tomorrow to swap out the EC100 to see if it fixes an issue with the sonic cutting out.
Soundings – Sounding was conducted by myself today as Jacquie was conducting the EOL seminar series this afternoon. No problems or issues to report. On the CFACT student slack channel, Gannet Hallar (from U of U?) posted that they are adding a 6:15 am sounding launch to the daily schedule starting this Friday that will be covered by the students.
