Another hot clear day, the breeze was lighter today although there did seem to be more dust devils.
David continued work on the Modular Profiler and was able to clean up some of the artifact signals that he saw yesterday, and get some wind measurements from the system. We are running the profiler at low power (only a 3% duty cycle), but it is still producing wind measurements up to the 2 km altitude level. We set up a M2HATS configuration and got the wind processing running, then left the profiler running overnight.
We also instrumented and raised the ISS1 surface met tower. The DSM is recording data, although so far it is not transmitting that data to the data manager computer. Josh and I retrieved the University of Virginia HALO lidar from the airport FBO hanger, which is where we had stored it after running some sampling tests back in May.
We were supposed to get a delivery of Helium, however the Airgas agent said that the shipment has been delayed and should be delivered on Friday.
