Good wind direction:
array#2 (jul 20 16:00-jul 29 06:00) ended up with 67 hours (22 unstable,
45 stable). It was lengthened a bit to allow more time in the <better>
pressure configuration. There also had been some data system failures
resulting in the loss of \ ~5 hours of data.
array#3 (jul 29 12:30-present) now has 18 hours (2 unstable, 16 stable).
We shouldn't have lost much during yesterday's work since directions were
bad. \ [this statistic actually is low since need covar_redo\]

RH: sensor that is now at 5.8m is strange. Since sonics are now at this
level, we may work to fix it.unmigrated-wiki-markup

Has crashed each of the last 5 nights at about 10pm. Last night stayed
down due to a certain SE trying to help. We've replaced the Viper CPU
board so hopefully it will work tonight.
