*** need 2 more pieces of functional altar shield
*** need wood screws to screw vertical pipes to base.
* Original Kougarok:
** download data by radio
* Council
** fix program at C1 Grid

** push snow off eddy system.

===Sensor Issues===
New air temperature sensors are model
* PS302J2
** a=0.000750334
** b=0.000330847
**c =-0.000000175

Data Notes
* Double-check thermistor equations
* double-check precision resistor values.

Teller Bottom Soil:
* teller bottom: confirm that thermistor values as-built match resistor in field.
* Soil Moisture #5... is it connected?
* Heat Flux Plates are doing the wrong thing... are they measured right?
* thermal conductivity thermistors... it kind of looks like the measurement is still settling. The measurement is quite spikey from time to time.
* Looks like VATP3 shifted on 4/21.
* same for VATP4
* same for VATP 6
* same for vatp 8
* same for vatp 9
* can see water pulse around 4/21 in the lower thermistors.

Teller Bottom Spectral:
* Decagon Sensors look good
* http://ngeedata.iarc.uaf.edu/data/teller_bottom_spectral/

http://ngeedata.iarc.uaf.edu/data/teller_top/

Teller Top Soil:
* I'm suspicious that the precision resistor values for teller top aren't correct.
* vatp4 freezing point is at 2 deg C
* I think there was quite a bit of water running down the probe during snowmelt.
* http://ngeedata.iarc.uaf.edu/data/teller_top_soil/

** change sr50A transducers
** download data
*** need sc32b for CR10X at teller SW
* replace memory card in camera
** sr50a transducer replacement, 2x
** remove 1 PT

** push snow off eddy system.

===Sensor Issues===
New air temperature sensors are model
* PS302J2
** a=0.000750334
** b=0.000330847
**c =-0.000000175

Data Notes
* Double-check thermistor equations
* double-check precision resistor values.

Teller Bottom Soil:
* teller bottom: confirm that thermistor values as-built match resistor in field.
* Soil Moisture #5... is it connected?
* Heat Flux Plates are doing the wrong thing... are they measured right?
* thermal conductivity thermistors... it kind of looks like the measurement is still settling. The measurement is quite spikey from time to time.
* Looks like VATP3 shifted on 4/21.
* same for VATP4
* same for VATP 6
* same for vatp 8
* same for vatp 9
* can see water pulse around 4/21 in the lower thermistors.

===Sensor Issues===
Data Notes
* Double-check thermistor equations
* double-check precision resistor values.

Teller Bottom Soil:
* teller bottom: confirm that thermistor values as-built match resistor in field.
* Soil Moisture #5... is it connected?
* Heat Flux Plates are doing the wrong thing... are they measured right?
* thermal conductivity thermistors... it kind of looks like the measurement is still settling. The measurement is quite spikey from time to time.
* Looks like VATP3 shifted on 4/21.
* same for VATP4
* same for VATP 6
* same for vatp 8
* same for vatp 9
* can see water pulse around 4/21 in the lower thermistors.

Teller Bottom Spectral:
* Decagon Sensors look good
* http://ngeedata.iarc.uaf.edu/data/teller_bottom_spectral/

Teller Bottom Radiation:
* Looks good just need to correct albedo for nighttime.
* http://ngeedata.iarc.uaf.edu/data/teller_bottom/

Teller Bottom Snow Temp Profile:
* Looks pretty good
* http://ngeedata.iarc.uaf.edu/data/teller_bottom_snowpro/

Teller Bottom Thermal Conductivity:
* data is spikey, in soil pit temperatures
http://ngeedata.iarc.uaf.edu/data/teller_bottom_soil/

Teller Top Met
* HMP155 is still broken.
** Lily fixed in August.
* All other sensors look good.
http://ngeedata.iarc.uaf.edu/data/teller_top/

Teller Top Soil:
* I'm suspicious that the precision resistor values for teller top aren't correct.
* vatp4 freezing point is at 2 deg C
* I think there was quite a bit of water running down the probe during snowmelt.
* http://ngeedata.iarc.uaf.edu/data/teller_top_soil/

Teller Top Thermal Conductivity:
* something funky going on here, too, as in precision resistor may be off and also the data is quite spikey.
* http://ngeedata.iarc.uaf.edu/data/teller_top_soil/

Kougarok Mile 64 Met
* skin temperature looks like there is a loose wire
* Other sensors look good.
* http://ngeedata.iarc.uaf.edu/data/kg_m64/
** I haven't processed this data just copied the raw files to the server. But, if you check that link you can view all of the raw data in the data visualizer.

Kougarok Mile 64 Spectral
* all sensors look good

Kougarok Mile 64 Soil
* soil temps look good but no soil pit just yet.

2017 NGEE Nome October trip

2017-10-01T00:57:07Z

24.237.158.7:

High precision computer logger

2016-01-31T21:43:11Z

24.237.158.7:

Replace '''ntpd''' with '''chronyd''':
* http://chrony.tuxfamily.org/
Then, also add '''gpsd''':
* http://www.catb.org/gpsd/gpsd-time-service-howto.html
* In addition to gpsd you will need to modify the default configuration so that the gpsd daemon starts looking for the gps at start up:

<pre>
root@turkey:/etc/default# cat /etc/default/gpsd
# Default settings for the gpsd init script and the hotplug wrapper.

# Start the gpsd daemon automatically at boot time
START_DAEMON="true"

# Use USB hotplugging to add new USB devices automatically to the daemon
USBAUTO="true"

# Devices gpsd should collect to at boot time.
# They need to be read/writeable, either by user gpsd or the group dialout.
DEVICES="/dev/ttyUSB0"

# Other options you want to pass to gpsd
GPSD_OPTIONS="-G -n"
</pre>

Doing those two things will get you a computer that will keep time with good precision when connected to a gps & unable to access network time for extended periods. NTP works best in always connected environments.
