Another display issue was with the laptop monitoring the two Halo lidars. It appeared frozen this morning when Mack tried to connect. He restarted the laptop (around 17Z) and then was able to connect normally and reconnect to the two lidars, however the Autoscreen capture package is not doing the 10 minute screenshots that it normally does. Therefore there is 's a gap in the Halo lidar plots for several hours until I got it working again this evening.
The OU UAS operation started today, and performed vertical profiles with a quadcopter drone about 100 meters east of the main site every 30 minutes. They found, however, that after going up 50 - 100 meters, the radio link to the drone was cut and it would automatically come down. It turns out that the link is in the 900 MHz band and it appears that the MISS profiler is interfering with it. (We turned off both profilers around 20 UTC for around 10 minutes to confirm this). They moved their operation further east (to around 900 meters east of the main site) and found there that they can operate to around 900 meters AGL. We will experiment further tomorrow.
