4197 2019-10-01 Lab none Calibration Lab none New calibration factor of 13.4 uV/(W/m2).

Tested this sensor at Oxford Tract against AMP 4-band radiometer CNR4 sn 16084. See RT Report "Oxford Tract Radiometer Comparison - 09/2018" for details. https://nature.berkeley.edu/biometlab/bmetdata/rtreport.php?screen=view&id=27
4058 2019-08-26 Lab none Calibration Lab none Tested this sensor at Oxford Tract against AMP 4-band radiometer CNR4 sn 16084. See RT Report "Oxford Tract Radiometer Comparison - 06/2018" for details. I calculated a calibration factor of 12.8 uV/(W/m2), but there was a big difference from the calibration factor when the sensor was tested upside down (14.3 uV/(W/m2)), so more testing needed.
3113 2017-10-04 East End-Temp3 Net Radiometer Removed Lab none Removed with the decommissioning of Temporary Tower #3 - Boardwalk site.
3134 2017-06-23 Lab none Installed East End-Temp3 Net Radiometer Installed at the East End Temporary Tower #3 Boardwalk location with the initial setup of the site.
4414 2017-06-05 Mayberry Net Radiometer Vegetation Removed Lab none Removed from MB and brought back to the lab. It was installed over the tules and was made redundant by the 4-way radiometer.
1249 2011-03-01 Lab none Installed Mayberry Net Radiometer Vegetation Installed on the Mayberry Tule Tower over the tules.
290 2011-02-03 Tonzi-Floor Removed Lab none Removed from the open space near the floor solar panels.
100 2010-04-16 Lab none Installed Tonzi-Floor Installed at the request of Hideki in an unshaded opening near the east end of the radiation tram.
6003 2010-03-16 Lab none Installed Tonzi none Installed at the request of Hideki in an unshaded opening near the east end of the radiation tram.
25 2009-12-22 Tonzi-Tower Removed Lab none The instrument was removed from the top of the Tonzi tower by Siyan. It had been installed there for a calibration of the permanent NRLite on the tower.
27 2009-10-28 Lab none Installed Tonzi-Tower The NRLite was installed on the top of the Tonzi tower by Joe for a calibration of the permanent tower NRLite.
26 2005-05-01 Factory Calibration Lab none Initial factory calibration: 14.2 uV/W.m2
