6899 2024-10-14 Lab none Removed Lab none Recovered from the bike package. This sensor went to Burning Man in 2023 and has been sitting idle in Robert's office ever since. Stored in box of NR-Lites next to Daphne's desk.
5933 2022-08-10 Lab none Installed Experiment Installed on the back of Robert's e-bike for his urban heat island transect in Oakley
4196 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
4047 2019-06-18 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 12.7 uV/(W/m2), but more testing needs to be done because there was a large calibration difference when testing the sensor upside-down (15.4 uV/(W/m2)).
3776 2018-10-30 Lab none Location Lab none This sensor is on the tram and has probably been there the last 10 years.
2329 2002-06-06 Lab none Installed Tonzi-Floor Installed on CR23x3 with the soil moisture probes at Tonzi.
4049 1999-07-29 Factory Calibration Lab none Initial factory calibration 12.9 uV/(W/m2) 1999-07-29
