With most of the satellite sites reporting, started looking at a few variables:
- T has been below freezing most of the time, with a low at CC of -22C earlier in the week
- RH has been near 100% a lot recently with snow. Note several sites reporting RH a bit over 100%, which is not unusual for us. I haven't worked out if this would be due to RH with respect to ice...
- Maximum speeds were 10m/s last week, though often below 1 m/s.
- Pressures track each other and are in the correct order with station height. The topography in this valley is somewhat deceptive: From high elevation to low, the order is LC, CC, DC, PC, MH, UP, PRS, MW, SH, DCS.
- Rsw.out is at least 50% of Rsw.in this week, and sometimes much higher. A good indication of snow on the ground!
- ldiag often is close to 1 for some sensors. This would indicate that heating/Teflon tape isn't completely effective. We'll have to check/work on this. CSAT.mw is always 1 (not working).
