Good wind direction: The standard function reports 36 hours (14
unstable, 22 stable) in this configuration, with small segments the
last 2 days. However we have had some sensors and data systems down
(and still don't know about pressure measurements) so the actual
numbers would be lower.

Pressure:

with plumbing yesterday.unmigrated-wiki-markup
\[redo, smaller time period\]
It appears that most of the "signal" is variation of the reference pressure.
We changed its character (for the better?) by changing from the nitrogen
cylinder to the CHATS 1 liter reservoir yesterday, however there still is
too much variation. We'll try building yet another reservoir today.
p: ok, +/- 0.03 mb

w'p': ok, +/- 0.001 m/s mb
t: 6b&6t are outliers by 3degC during day, others +/- 1.5 degC
(may be orientation of sun shields?)
Pref: still steadily drifting low, though a bit of a diurnal cycle now.
(might be cooling of the reservoir)
now 14mb below ambient.

Okay since then.

exchanging sensors between levels next.

11-21 July. Does this indicate shallow stable boundary layers sometimes?
We should check ISS data.)

Has crashed each of the last 3 nights at about 10pm. Didn't fix it until
the next morning on the first night. Have been able to get it running
by midnight the last 2 nights.
