Cold, partly cloudy this morning gradually clearing, snow leftover from yesterday's storm (around 3 or 4 inches).
Mainly worked in the pivot field trailer after clearing the snow off the Modular Profiler antenna and out of the RASS dishes around 1630 UT. The snow on these (1 - 2 inches) was a lot lighter and fluffier than yesterday's wet snow. We did a series of range calibration tests for the Modular Profiler using the delay line, experimenting with a variety of parameter settings. The profiler is getting winds up to around 2 - 3 km, however the lowest range gate is around 500 meters. RASS is seeing up to around 1 km. Gary was at the site working on getting the surface sensors ingested by the DSM, networking and other software tasks.
Dennis Gunn, the manager of the Heber Valley Special Service District (on whose land we're leasing) visited the site to get a tour and sign UCAR vendor form.
