6533 2024-01-11 Mayberry PAR Sensor Reflected Water Removed Lab none Removed from MB tower because it was no longer measuring open water (wetland is filling in with cattails)
4025 2019-07-25 Lab none Installed Mayberry PAR Sensor Reflected Water Installed at MB (PAR reflected water) to replace sn 040412, which was brought back to the lab for testing.
4079 2019-06-18 Lab none Calibration Lab none New calibration factor of 5.32 uV/(umol/m2/s). Tested this sensor at Oxford Tract against AMP reference sensor K&Z PQS1 sn 161073. See RT Report "Oxford Tract Radiometer Comparison - 06/2018" for details.
3765 2018-10-25 Mayberry PAR Sensor Reflected Water Removed Lab none Removed from MB (measuring reflected water) and brought back to the lab to replace the rotted cable and for calibration. It was replaced by sn 040412.
327 2011-03-01 Lab none Installed Mayberry PAR Sensor Reflected Water Installed on the Mayberry tule tower to measure PAR relfected from open water.
287 2011-02-03 Tonzi Removed Lab none Removed from the open space near the floor solar panels.
102 2010-03-16 Lab none Installed Tonzi Installed at the request of Hideki in an unshaded opening near the east end of the radiation tram at Tonzi. This sensor is pointing upward collecting incoming PAR.
4078 2001-07-26 Factory Calibration Lab none Initial factory calibration 5.27uV/umol/s.m2
