Correspondence
From J.Cable Email The SFL station was completely knocked over. There was water in the box but everything was still running. I did my best to set everything back up again; it's heavy stuff! Nothing was chewed up though, it just looked like a conga line came through.
I thought I had fixed the wire between the solar panel and the box but apparently my fix didn't work. The battery isn't charging and starting to get dangerously low. I think the high leaf area is shading the solar panels because the SFH site is having issues with the battery charging up.
The temp/RH probes at SFL and NFL aren't working. I'm not sure if the ppt bucket at SFL is working; the wire got chewed at one point. The upper sites seem to be surviving.
Super-Site
In Fairbanks
- Add 2 AT/RH to measurements and outputs.
- Drill holes for ubolts in angle iron & cut to length
Fieldwork
- Finish Anchors
- Wire AT/RH
- send new program to met logger
Computer work
- change scp in camera scripts to rsync
- rsync -avz -e "ssh -p 22 -i ~/.ssh/rsync-key" /local_image_dir/ pfss@main_server.iarc.uaf.edu:/remote_destination/
- set computer up to restart nightly so this wireless disconnection stops being a bother.
- 50 1 * * * /sbin/shutdown -r now
- log temperatures and wireless signal strength, refresh brain on what I have set up up there
