1530 add insulation to keep batteries warm. All terminal lugs were snug.
Nots:
checked radiometers. all clean
The ETI rain gauge has less fluid than when we were here Sunday so it drained some of its contents. The slurry appears to have plenty of antifreeze.

significant trampling of snow on the south side of the saddle horse. prefer one trail from north to the stand. All others will be outside of the fence.

1358 rain gauge, ice blogs
01/10/2010 ~15:00 MST Station-2, ABC, JM, Ling
Sonic Boom Angle check
The direction was shot from the east of the station looking into the CSAT. DataScope reading = 258.5 with 0-deg. magnetic deviation used. Handheld compass reading 261.5 with 0-deg magnetic deviation used. We both tried the datascope and had the same results and agreed upon the location of the tripod.
10 Jan, 2010. 1205-1500 On site John, Ling
1405 wifi is down
1415 clean up radiometers
1422 mast down
1425 clean up krypton , meausred 2V
1431 mast up
1500 shoot the boom (258.5deg from sonic toward the tower, get owner's permission to enter the field to read)
10 Jan, 2011. 1245-1330 On site: John and Ling
1245 turn off wifi. We turned off the wifi to save what is estimated to be about .6W, roughly 1.2AH/day. This site has been consistently having low battery swings at night. Hopefully this will help save enough energy to have a measurable effect upon battery discharge.
1300 clean up raiometers
notes:
vbatt ok
desiccants ok
9 Jan 11, John, Steve, and Ling
1543-1550: clean up radiometers and shadow-band. Rsw.in had a few crystals on the top of the dome. Shadow-band sensor had bird droppings. Shadow band looked a bit off, but didn't change. Other quantum sensor okay.
TRH a bit noisy, but okay.
GPS jumpers were okay.
Well, we didn't get to all 7 sites, but only because ABC was locked. We'll hit it tomorrow.
9 Jan: Dong, Militzer, Oncley
Continuing our odessy -- will we make it to every site today??
1433-1438: clean radiometers, Rsw.in and Rlw.in were snow encrusted
inspect ETI: okay
inspect TRH: okay
1438: mast down
1443: clean up krypton measuring 2.25V
1449: mast up
9 Jan: Dong, Militzer, Oncley
1359-1402: clean radiometers
Solar panels free of snow
TRH fan a <bit> noisy
1400: inspected precip gauge -- not frozen/looked okay
Inspected GPS power jumpers in mote -- all were in place
9 Jan: Oncley, Dong, Militzer
~1220: clean radiometers (including SPN1)
1225-1245: plugging/unplugging sensors to determine reason for pyg.in failure. Second plug/unplug and white-button reset fixed. Hmmm...
1245: declared "fixed"
9 Jan: Oncley, Dong, Militzer
brush a bit of solar panel
~1125: cleaned radiometers
krypton ok at 2.7 -- no action needed
