Weather:  Sunny with calm to light winds. A bit of haze but generally clear. 

Staff: Jacquie, Mack

Data check (AM/PM): stable

Notes:

  • Noticed the OTT (near tt) data are missing from NCharts and QCTables - but they are defined in the netcdf files. 
  • Stephan De Wekker arrived just for the afternoon and we gave him a tour. He will be returning with students and drones. FAA approval to fly 4000ft was received today!
  • Watched the ISS Windcube lidar go through its set of scan modes on the hour (Bill changed a few things yesterday).
  • Took lots of photos of ISFS and ISS sensors for the data report. 
  • Jacquie learned how to run Steve's command to check the hotfilm raw data stream on ustar:

    Two notes:

    1. The variable "Vis.t0" has been in QCtables which is the one variable I chose to display from the OTT (since I didn't expect much rain in Tonopah).  It has been pretty consistently reading ~20km visibility.
    2. Although I created the "hfd" alias, the credit for everything else related to hotfilm software is Gary's!
