- Last night, I did a power budget on the pressure sites, which I should've done long ago. We need more solar charging at all the pressure sites. A single 145W panel at each site should be adequate. We will likely be requesting that a total of six 145W panels be shipped from Boulder for this purpose. We'll then swap those in and use the 65W panels to beef up the main towers.
- We checked the sensors using Cockpit. P5 was down due to power.
- We cleaned all radiometers and EC150s, and checked cable tensions

- P5 came back online by 11:30AM, when we were done with sensor cleaning.
- We added an extra (well used) battery to P5. It now has two dying batteries (better than one, right?). We plan to double up batteries at the rest of the pressure sites as soon as we receive the new batteries we ordered, and purchase three additional coolers from Target. We'll add an extra battery back to init.b too.
- April emailed and mentioned the next IOP is the evening of 10/15. Additionally, U of Wisconson students will be arriving tomorrow to set up sensors.
