We haven't yet gotten into a mode of regular daily status messages, so just some general notes here:

  • I've been looking at QC tables several times a day and have noticed no problems, with the exception of the snow pillows
  • Snow pillows (no particular pattern of which pillow) have stopped reporting several times a day.  They always come up with a power cycle (pio, using a type-ahead to avoid permanently losing the network connection).  We are hoping that a software upgrade will fix this, and the cable and software may be in the mail to us now.
  • The CSAT3BH (minus one cable connection) is on the NCAR loading dock as I write this.  We hope to configure it in the coming days and take a quick trip back to Crested Butte to install it late next week (along with the software upgrade).
  • The nanobarometers that are sealed off have large pressure variations, due to temperature changes.  This is confusing on both ncharts and QCtables, but is normal.
