Today was a clear calm day that started off a bit colder than it has, but once warmed up was a nice day. A bit of haze did form toward Deer Creek Reservoir area this afternoon.

This morning I started off with troubleshooting RASS speakers, which I went into more depth in a post I created specific for this issue for better tracking. As I checked on RASS throughout the day I did not hear any other abnormalities. 

I went to DCS with Isabel to troubleshoot a Tsoil not reporting. The rest of the day Isabel refreshed me on how to do daily checks on ISFS instruments since her and Matt did not get a day of overlap. 

The PI's have installed another instrument at the sounding site which is a microwave radiometer. They also placed their sounding computer in the sounding trailer for the tether sonde, which should be showing up this week now that they have approval.

The sounding went well and the last sonde that had an RH issue cleared.

Today was Isabel's last day of CFACT Ops and Matt safely made it to Heber City this evening to take things over for ISFS.

  1. I did some more looking at the ceilometer data transfer today (trying to send data directly to the /data partition instead of to /var/sftp, which fills up) but had no luck getting data to transfer anywhere else. I think I lost some data ~2:30-3:30 local this afternoon while I was trying settings that didn't work.

    Also nagios was showing that rsync server on the sounding computer wasn't responding, and it looks like data transfers were failing with "connection reset by peer" messages. On the sounding computer in services it showed that rsync server was already running. I stopped and restarted the service and after that rsync to the data manager is back to working. I don't know what caused the problem, but restarting the rsync server service is something to try if this happens again.
