I left last night before things really started getting going for the dry run. From co2 data, it seems like conditions were good for the first ~2 hours, and CTEMPS was running (for the bit of it that was deployed). April still doesn't have the Doppler lidar, but they were going to try smoke and 2 aerosol lidars. Kate reports that the one radiosonde worked, but had a very low rise rate – they cut it off after 45min to 700mb.
- visited P5, found battery at 10.33V, so Pi was continuously rebooting (and chrony was not happy). Swapped in a good battery from the base. I <think> the solar in connector to the sunsaver wasn't quite seated properly. In the meantime noticed that the config still didn't have a pmon entry. Back at the sodar trailer, tried to use ansible to reload the config, but got a huge error message, suggesting that I use "--limit @/home/daq/isfs/projects/SAVANT/ISFS/ansible/update-projects.retry", which didn't work. Logged into P5 and added pmon manually. Now seems happy.
- decided to check the other pressure sites, to see if low power was systematic. P4 was at 12.44V. P6 was at 12.59V. So power availablilty should be okay, even though today is overcast and drizzle. BTW. P4 could ping ustar, and ustar can ping P4, but I can't ssh, and noticed (from lsu) that rsync isn't working to P4.
- csat3a.1.5m.rel died about 6pm last night, about when I was playing with 232/422 jumpers inside this DSM to get csat3.1.5m.a2 working. However, the EC150 data are still coming in, so it isn't as simple as power or comms. I note that the co2/h2o statsproc values also aren't being created due to the missing sonic data. Guess I'll be wandering down there soon, in the mosquito-filled mist.
- all of lconv seemed to be down a bit ago, but is up now.
- and still have to do:
- check guy tensions
- grab serial numbers from soybeans?
- shoot boom angles
- clean up several sets of cables
- flag tower anchor points in the field
- and April wants to figure out how to attach the CTEMPS fiber vertically between the tall and aux towers....
