Staff: Jacquie, Josh

Weather: Better than at Boulder.

Notes: 

  • It was a long day and I couldn't get out to the site until ~3pm. 
  • We took soil samples at all three sites. The soil was still wet and it was trivial to pull out a core sample.
  • We reinstalled the hotfilms. Steve checked the data fidelity and we were able to get all of them working.  


Bad CSAT3's at t1 and t22 

We unplugged/replugged ports and the cables going into the CSAT3 white boxes and still couldn't establish good measurements. We ended up taking down the CSAT boxes and looking inside the boxes. We couldn't find any corrosion except made some on the external ports. Below is what the inside looks like.


So we plan to try and replace both CSATS with the following spares we found: 

CSAT 3 Spare


CSAT 3A Spare


  • Steve and Chris please be on mobile standby tomorrow as Josh and I work through replacing the sensors.
  • All suggestions, protocols, and tips are welcome. 
  • I assume the SN needs to be noted?

    It was a long shot, but worth a try.  From the photos, the boxes look fine – I don't see any traces of water infiltration.  I assume you concluded the same looking at them in person.
