The day started out with clear skies with temperatures just below 20F. The day remained pretty cool reaching low 30s in the afternoon, with a slight breeze.
Today I mostly spent doing some troubleshooting for ISFS after my morning checks of ISS equipment. The first part of the day I helped the electrician narrow down the power issue at Daniels Canyon. Found that the wiring was shorted between the barn and an outside outlet.
The afternoon Matt and I troubleshot the 32m thermocouple at DCS. Turned out the 'good' thermocouple we installed was actually bad. When I talked with Steve yesterday we agreed that reading the resistance of the thermocouples would be a good step to add when we replace them to avoid this. Also Isabel had to reconfig the rohn DSM so that the dashboard came up which will also help to be sure a newly installed thermocouple is operating. Yesterday the dashboard was not working and with the sounding approaching we had raised the tower before the DSM was reconfiged.
Todays sounding went off with no issues. Tomorrow people from the university will be testing their tether sonde in the afternoon.
