Cold (14C) when we arrived 8:40 ish. Above freezing and sloppy as we left about 13:40. Lots of blue sky. Making snow by the hotel.
Isabel and Steve
Tasks:
- Seal & Peel all sonics, in a semi-random order (bottom to top). Initially, stuff sollidified in the caulk tube, so we cut off the spouts. Hopefully, this will help.
- Cleaned 9m radiometers from 0957-1005 (times from plot of rawdata, now entered into cal_files). Used isopropyl alcohol since it was cold. Domes looked clean already, with lots of fan ventilation, though the air didn't feel warm to me.
- d DCDC changed to 20W to power Xstream's Ubiquiti
- Tried to upload v4 software to snow pillows, but got a "Failed to read the controller ID" error on the last pillow (#3). Unable to fix, so left it running v3 code.
- Gary uploaded change to NIDAS to pre-pend a message type prefix, that should allow us to parse the snow pillow data, that seems to work.
- Also overnight, added a cal file for the CSAT3BH, so winds should be correct (though it hasn't been added to statsproc yet).
- Installed the wifi repeater, connected to cm. Had to go through the set-up menu again (Gary had done in the lab) to get it to connect to the Cradlepoint, but now up.
- Nevertheless, one of Ethan's Pis still won't connect. We cycled power on both Pis on uw by unplugging and plugging in their USB-C power cables. (Twice on 4, reseated SD card, LEDs on ethernet same on 3 and 4, so we think it is still getting data from the lidar.)
- Discovered that uw DSM wasn't getting GPS messages (rs G had no response). Power cycle brought everything back. systemctl restart gpsd didn't work.
- Also realized that the uw Apogee data have been quite erratic for the last week. Reseated its screw connector and both Binder connectors on the popsicle stick (also pio cycled power somewhere in there), but still see bad values. P.S. Downwind's apogee also is odd now.
- Soil core taken.
- Back at RMBL, removed 8x CSAT3A cassettes for the shop to work on. Stored CSAT3BH box in white quonset tent.
