Post Trip Notes

October 2020

  • All AT/RH Broken
  • Think about putting out a second datalogger co-located since the wiring is so set... or not... I should look into it...
    • ... in order to have a nonborked reference air temperature and reference tipping bucket.


June 2019

  • Tripod Mast Bent
  • CNR4 difficult to level
  • Could use a some help keeping lower anemometer from moving. Like maybe a couple pieces of unistrut to keep arm from wobbling
  • Need to replace lower AT/RH as it seems completely broken.
    • Rotronic HygroClip2 HC2A
    • Should look to see if they sell a better top cap for it more resistant to moisture
  • Need to get some SW12V adapter to turn AT/RH on/off and look at program / wiring for other things that could be turned off.
  • Left 2 guy wire anchors and 100' of guy wire at UAF Storage. Could bring out more anchors or unistrut / nails or something. Maybe pound unistrut into ground and then pin in place?
  • I thought Geonor and Solar Panel would require guying but both survived the winter while tripod mast didn't.
  • I think snow sensor maybe failed over the winter, too.
  • I was thinking a heavier gauge cable for solar panel might be appropriate, too.

Barometric Pressure

  • All Good
  • NAN data is due to low battery voltage

1.5 meter Air Temperature / Relative Humidity / Vapor Pressure

  • Sensor Fails over 2018-2019 winter due to moisture.
  • 2019-01-03 23:00 UTC

3.0 meter Air Temperature / Relative Humidity / Vapor Pressure

  • NAN data in 2019 Winter is due to low battery voltage
  • Without site visit hard to say why sensor goes dead on 2019-09-19 21:00
    • Loose wire?
    • the timing...
