| 2000-10-07 | 000137 | HFP01 | Installed | Heat Flux Plate A | Installed with the initial set up of the Vaira site. |
| 2000-10-07 | 000141 | HFP01 | Installed | Heat Flux Plate B | Installed with the initial set up of the Vaira site. |
| 2000-10-07 | 000143 | HFP01 | Installed | Heat Flux Plate C | Installed with the initial set up of the Vaira site. |
| 2022-02-09 | 000143 | HFP01 | Location | Heat Flux Plate C | Wired as SHF #3 |
| 2006-10-28 | 001603 | HFP01 | Installed | Heat Flux Plate A | Installed to replace existing plate that had failed months before. This entry was pieced together from notes and examination of the data. |
| 2012-09-05 | 001603 | HFP01 | Removed | Removed from the Vaira tower for calibration. This sensors was burried under the end of the PVC conduit and under a gopher mound at about 10cm below the surface. This was the first of the heat flux plates. | |
| 2012-11-07 | 001603 | HFP01 | Installed | Reinstalled after calibration by Sebastian in BC Canada. The original calibration factor was found to be still correct. It was reinstalled in a different location near another SHF plate to the north and cleared the litter from the new location. | |
| 2022-02-09 | 001603 | HFP01 | Location | Heat Flux Plate A | Wired as SHF #1 |
| 2006-10-28 | 001605 | HFP01 | Installed | Heat Flux Plate B | Installed to replace existing plate that had failed months before. This entry was pieced together from notes and examination of the data. |
| 2022-02-09 | 001605 | HFP01 | Location | Heat Flux Plate B | Wired as SHF #2 |
| 2013-02-06 | P01 | HP-127-1.0-1.3-71P | Installed | Installed in a profile at -2cm to the east of the Vaira radiation tower | |
| 2015-12-02 | P01 | HP-127-1.0-1.3-71P | Removed | Removed from Vaira at -2cm. The red wire was broken not clear whether corrosion or animal (or shovel) damage | |
| 2016-03-23 | P01 | HP-127-1.0-1.3-71P | Removed | Removed from Vaira at -2cm due to broken wire. | |
| 2016-04-05 | P01 | HP-127-1.0-1.3-71P | Installed | Reinstalled at Vaira in the Peltier SHF plate profile at -2cm after fixing broken wire in the lab. | |
| 2013-02-06 | P02 | HP-127-1.0-1.3-71P | Installed | Installed in a profile at -4cm to the east of the Vaira radiation tower | |
| 2013-02-06 | P03 | HP-127-1.0-1.3-71P | Installed | Installed in a profile at -8cm to the east of the Vaira radiation tower | |
| 2015-11-20 | P03 | HP-127-1.0-1.3-71P | Removed | Removed from Vaira at -8cm. A gopher had chewed its wire. | |
| 2015-12-02 | P03 | HP-127-1.0-1.3-71P | Installed | Reinstalled at Vaira at -8cm. This was spliced onto the existing cable in the field. | |
| 2013-02-06 | P04 | HP-127-1.0-1.3-71P | Installed | Installed in a profile at -16cm to the east of the Vaira radiation tower | |
| 2015-11-20 | P04 | HP-127-1.0-1.3-71P | Removed | Removed from Vaira at -16cm. Looks like the insulation had cracked and the wire rotted. | |
| 2015-12-02 | P04 | HP-127-1.0-1.3-71P | Installed | Reinstalled at Vaira at -16cm. This was spliced onto the existing cable in the field. | |
