Daily status 16 Jan 2011
On site: Oncley, Militzer
Sprinkles today (thus warmer)
Summary:
- WVally4 Temperature/RH sensor had been down since 2PM yesterday. Fixed 8AM today. No good excuses this time.
- Since 2 TRHs have just died with getting wet, we want to try sealing everything better. This AM we also went to WSlope6 and ABC2 to recoat/seal the SHT connectors.
- Eslope5 Radiometers were down from 9AM - 2PM 14 Jan. The radiometer XBee radio had to be reset.
- All kryptons died in rain last night -- some we've let recover on their own, but we cleaned/dried 2&6.
- Warmer temperatures should give another opportunity to take soil cores. We'll wait another day or two.
