12:45 - Tsfc.8m went down at ~11:00am. I may have disturbed the cabling when I came down the tower.
We will check after lunch.
UPDATE: sensor back up around ~3:00pm.
At tower mostly to take LAI profie since mostly overcast.
0958 - Oncley cleaned 2m kh2o
1010 - Semmer starts ascent
1015 - Oncley soilb sample
1020 - Semmer first LAI reading at 40m
1025 - Oncley soila sample
1029 - Oncley unplug rain gauge drain (tube was mostly open, so data should have been okay)
1040 - Semmer clean 14m krypton
1048 - Semmer down

15:45 - Steve O. added a tsoil probe in the duff at soila2. This probe is one of our single temperature probes even though the
output message is similar to a 4 channel probe.
Oncley adds: The duff wasn't too thick here -- perhaps 1.5cm of needles and a few leaves. It isn't too dense, so the probe is mostly measuring air temp (interstitial in the duff). At the moment, it is reading about about 0.5 C higher than 0.6cm, which is at least the right direction.
In looking at TP01 data for the project, I see that Vheat is rock solid for soil.b, but varies by 6mV for soil.a This isn't huge, and is measured, so it shouldn't be a problem in the data. However, it is acting as though there is variable resistance on the heater cable for soil.a. We should test this probe in post-cals and/or check the Binder connector.
The Tau63 values also have events. soil.a sometimes changes from ~6.5s to ~10.5s (loosely associated with rain events). soil.b has a couple of spikes from ~8 to ~4.5 (no relation to rain). These are more than isolated events (especially for a).
?P.S. at about 1540 on 1 Jul, I did unplug and plug in the soil.a TP01 Binder. There wasn't anything obvious wrong. I'll try to remember to monitor it over the next few days to see if Vheat settles down.
Weather: A few clouds this morning
