While Dan and Isabel were playing with sonics, Sebastian and I worked at dcs to reconfigure from the radiation intercomparison configuration to the radiative flux divergence configuration.

  • Replaced dcst DSM with spare3, since the dcst serial board wasn't connecting to the Pi.  Everything came up except the modem, which is blinking red/green on the LEDs.
  • Tilted the TT down.
  • Moved rad logger to the bed of the TT
  • Moved the CVF4s with the Rlw.in/out.2m on Sebastian's "swartz" to our darkhorse.  Had to shift our swartzs to accomodate this.  More cable dressing is needed.
  • Installed the 0.5m radiometers on an improvised stand, but didn't allow enough cable length (the cables now must be managed when tilting the tower).  I need to redo this mount.
  • Installed 7m and 32m radiometers on their respective booms
  • Removed Sebastian's darkhorse
  • Removed all cabling going to his darkhorse.  This was a bit of a mess, since intercomparison cabling was dressed together with permanent cabling, and all of it was under the snow.  Fortunately, most of the snow was not hard packed, so the cables could be pulled up.
  • Sebastian reconnected the redone cabling to his webcam.
  • Tilted the TT up, and half raised, mostly to check on cable lengths/cable feeds up the tower.  No significant problems encountered.

Didn't have time to install thermocouple cabling (which is now in the job box).

I may have left the key in the generator.

    • rad_logger is still connected through a 35m serial cable.  This could be replaced by a 5m cable now – just didn't have one with me.
    • clearly, we need to try another modem, though you would think that the one in place is fixable
  2. There is a spare active modem, ISFS-M73, in a cardboard box at the ISFS base trailer, I think in the tub which had ustar, maybe labeled networking stuff.  Sorry, I thought I'd recorded that somewhere, but now I can't find where...

    1. Found it and used it! Thanks Gary
