5294 2021-06-02 Cal Kit PAR Sensor Incoming Moved Cal Kit PAR Sensor Reflected Moved from the incoming position to the reflected position for continuing inter-comparison.
5309 2021-05-27 Lab none Installed Cal Kit PAR Sensor Incoming Installed at BC as part of the cal kit in the incoming position

5059 2021-01-21 Lab none Installed Cal Kit PAR Sensor Incoming Installed at TZ in the incoming position as part of the inter-comparison kit to test PAR, AirT and RH on the top of the Tower.
5307 2021-01-17 Cal Kit PAR Sensor Reflected Removed Lab none Removed from WP with the cal kit
5306 2020-12-16 Cal Kit PAR Sensor Incoming Moved Cal Kit PAR Sensor Reflected Moved from the incoming position to the reflected position to continue the inter-comparison at WP
4976 2020-11-19 Lab none Installed Cal Kit PAR Sensor Incoming This is the Ameriflux standard installed at WP for cross comparison with existing sensors
5310 2020-06-04 Factory none Calibration Factory none y=mx+b 149.48 0; The date for this entry is made up but allows this calibration to be used as needed. After discrepancies with an inter-comparison on Tonzi Tower in the spring to 2021 and a conversation with Sebastien Biraud on 2021-05-05 we learned that the OSU calibration for this senor was no good and the subsequent calibration that this entry represents should be used instead. The OSU calibration uses a lamp and fails for certain PAR sensors for unknown reasons. This calibration is done at LBL outside under ambient conditions cross compared with ten other PAR sensors.
4942 2020-01-10 Factory none Calibration Factory none y=mx+b 131.80 0 Calibrated by Chad Hanson at OSU as part of the Ameriflux standard program 7.59 uV/umol/m2/s
