Daily report for Sunday October 20

Weather: Sunny. Calm. Mild breeze around sunrise. IOP last night, ending with 10am sounding.

Profiler power: 0.141mW

Soundings: Last night (LT) 4pm, 7pm, 10pm, 1am, 4am, 7am, 10am. All successful.

Problems and interesting events:

Comparing ISS-site and ISFS-site surface winds, both had a direction shift around 0130 UT (from about northerly to about southerly). However, following that shift the ISFS site wind speed dropped to very light (1-2 m/s) and the ISS-site speed accelerated to about 5m/s. Perhaps related, Nihanth noted in the lidar data that the incident wind was spliting around the crater rim.

SODAR site: solar trailer battery at 91%; . Sodar chirping.

All sensors appear to be operating well.
