Weather: Sunny, clear skies all day. Calm-ish winds in the AM transitioning to westerly winds > 10 mph in the PM. 

IOP3 was successful. All ISS radiosonde profiles within the 24 hr cycle made it beyond the tropopause (~200 hPa) before bursting. 

A rather quiet ISS day. Bill went to ISS1 in the morning to check a few things before departing for a well-deserved break. Thank you Bill. 

Nagios is mostly green except for a few orange warnings for ISS1 lidar cfradial/man netcdfs (I was told to ignore) and ISS3 allsky and webcam jpgs.


However, we can see the hourly allsky and webcam images on the webplots so we know these jpegs are being saved.

The afternoon was spent accompanying Matt on ISFS site visits. Refer to his blog post for today.

At the end of the day, we dropped off soil samples to cook back at ISFS base and I checked the Lidar data streaming on the DM at the ISS1 trailer.

  1. I forgot to mention that Lou was at ISS2 and ISS3 building extra pressure gages for filling the balloons so we have spares at both radiosonde sites. 

  2. If you check the nagios instance on the iss1 and iss3 data managers, the checks for lidar man and camera photos don't show up unknown. I removed those checks because we aren't generating lidar man files currently, and the plots checks were redundant to other category checks for the webcam and allsky. These are just still around because nagios on snoopy hasn't been updated since we made those changes.
