Today was cool and mostly clear, although the mountains in the eastern part of the domain were cloud-topped through the morning. I had a busy day today running around to various sites for soil samples and other tasks, summarized below.

  • S10: Restarted nidas brought back up the power monitor stream.
  • S11: Spent the morning in the clouds while collecting a soil sample and troubleshooting the Victron, which has been out for about a week. It turns out the cable was unplugged (probably due to wind). I also swapped out a new cable because the connector seemed bent. After restarting nidas, the power monitor came back and has been reporting data since. I cleaned the radiometer around 11 am, and added zip ties to the guy wires. Finally I measured the boom angle at 316m.
  • S9: Drove past intending to check out and possibly replace the TP01, but someone was parked in the pull out, so I decided to not stop.
  • S8: Took a soil sample and cleaned the radiometer around 2:50 pm. This site takes forever to get to.
  • S7: Visited the site to take a soil sample and measure the boom angle (311m). I cleaned the radiometer around 3:45 pm.
  • S6: Took a soil sample and cleaned the radiometer around 4:20 pm.
