Back to sunny and hot, with a few scattered Cu.  I arrived to mess up everyone's workflow....

Spent a 10-hour day addressing (almost) everything on the tower line:

  • All sonics now mounted and connected to their appropriate DSMs.
  • Installed the last Quad Disk Probe at T0 1m sonic.
  • TRHs are all up.  We found that TRH.2m.t0 wasn't coming in due to a DSM port issue.   We moved it from DSM4.t0b to DSM7.t0t.
  • Isabel had issues with T8's serial board, so she replaced the entire DSM with a spare.  Seems much better.
  • All soil sensors and radiometers installed.  Still need to dress the cables and flag the sample area for soils at T23.
  • Installed the short CSAT3 at T33 and the CSAT3BH at T48 to complete the array. 
  • Installed a single solar panel/battery/victron at the end of the DTS fiber for the calibration bath.
  • Ran into issues with the inverter at the chem shelter. Isn't strong enough to power the DTS.

So, a productive day.  Finishing up the tt and getting it erected is on the docket for tomorrow.  I'll probably peel off to work on burn-in issues.
