Anemometer
2016-08-12 153806 WM 1590 Installed Anemometer Installed with the initial set up of the site.
2016-08-31 153806 WM 1590 Removed Anemometer Removed from the Bouldin Alfalfa tower due to daytime spiking problem likely due to new firmware. Replaced by sn 124215
2016-08-31 124215 WM 1590 Installed Anemometer Installed on the Bouldin Alfalfa tower to replace sn 153806 that has a spiking problem.
2016-10-06 124215 WM 1590 Removed Anemometer Removed from the Bouldin Alfalfa tower. This sensor was installed to test the system. Replaced by sn 153806.
2016-10-06 153806 WM 1590 Installed Anemometer Reinstalled on the Bouldin Alfalfa tower replacing sn 124215. This sonic is working correctly. Spikes were caused by the soil moisture probes powering up and browning out the system.
2021-07-20 153806 WM 1590 Removed Anemometer Removed from Bouldin Alfalfa and replaced by sn 074417 so that the advection experiment could run with four inter-compared sonics.
2021-07-20 074417 WM 1590 Installed Anemometer Installed at Bouldin Alfalfa to replace sn 152806 for advection experiemnt. This sonic was compare to the other three used for the advection experiement.
2024-02-14 022365394 SONIC-ANEMO-SPE10 Installed Weather Station B Added to the new Arable Mark 3 sn D006812

2018-07-12 L1920571 PTB110 Removed Barometer Removed from BA because pressure has been slowly decreasing since Feb and does not match BC pressure data.
Camera
2016-11-03 0030F4D214A4 SD130BN Installed Camera This Stardot camera was mounted on the Bouldin Alfalfa tower. It is facing NW off the north side of the tower scaffolding. It is currently mounted near the top of the railing due to a short cable. It will be moved to near the top of the post later.
2020-08-26 0030F4D214A4 SD130BN Removed Camera Removed from Bouldin Alfalfa for upgrade of control scripts. Replaced by sn 0030F4D21525
2020-08-26 0030F4D21525 SD130BN Installed Camera Installed at Bouldin Alfalfa with newest control scripts replacing sn 0030F4D214A4
2023-08-08 0030F4D21525 SD130BN Removed Camera Removed from BA because I couldn't connect. The front status LED remained red, even after a power cycle.
2023-08-24 0030f4d0b0b3 SD500BN-NL Installed Camera Installed to replace the broken one remove last time.
2024-12-04 RPI0W-007 RPI0W Installed none Installed in the Bouldin alfalfa/wheat field. The wheat sprouts are only a few cm tall.
2024-12-04 RPI0W-002 RPI0W Installed none Installed in the Bouldin alfalfa/wheat field. The wheat sprouts are only a few cm tall.
2024-12-19 RPI0W-002 RPI0W Removed Removed from the BA wheat field because it only had partial photos from the past 2 weeks. I think this enclosure needs better weatherproofing.
2024-12-19 RPI0W-007 RPI0W Removed Removed from the BA wheat field because this camera is dead from water intrusion.
2025-01-15 RPI0W-002 RPI0W Installed none Installed south of the tower on the ground for upward looking gap fraction in the wheat. I had to reset its clock even though it was off for weeks in the lab without losing its clock. Maybe I accidentally jiggled the RTC at some point after powering it off for the final time in the lab.
Data Logger
2016-08-12 66252 CR1000 Installed Data Logger Met Installed with the initial set up of the site.
2019-03-14 66252 CR1000 Maintenance Data Logger Met The CR1000 packbus id was change from 1 to 52

Forced Diffusion
2018-07-12 FD20160001 eosFD Installed Forced Diffusion A Installed at BA under the scaffolding. Sampling frequency is 5 min.
2018-07-26 FD20160001 eosFD Removed Forced Diffusion A Removed from BA because it was not turning on after power cycling and brought back to the lab for testing. I think the chamber is fine, just needs to be off for 1 minute before being turned back on.
2018-08-07 FD20160001 eosFD Installed Forced Diffusion A Installed under the BA scaffolding over bare soil.
2020-04-17 FD20160001 eosFD Notes Forced Diffusion A I tried to add a collar to this FD chamber, but the collar did not fit. I ended up reinstalling it in the same location (NE corner under the tower) over bare soil.
2020-04-17 FD20190028 eosFD Installed Forced Diffusion B Installed with a collar at BA under the tower (SE corner) over bare soil.

2020-09-23 FD20190028 eosFD Removed Forced Diffusion B Removed from BA and brought back to the lab for testing because of noisy data
2020-09-23 FD20160001 eosFD Removed Forced Diffusion A Removed from BA and brought back to the lab for testing because of noisy data. It was replaced by sn FD20180048.
2020-10-05 FD20180048 eosFD Removed Forced Diffusion A Removed from Bouldin Alfalfa to check on it's low CO2 concentration readings. Replaced by sn FD20180047
2020-10-05 FD20180047 eosFD Installed Forced Diffusion A Installed at Bouldin Alfalfa replacing sn FD20180048 that has low CO2 concentration readings. Also added a relay to restart this chamber at midnight to avoid high temperature start up problem.
2020-12-18 FD20180047 eosFD Removed Forced Diffusion A Removed from Bouldin Alfalfa. This one has high temperature start up issues and was running on a relay to restart it every night. I removed the relay too but did not update the CR1000 program.
2020-12-18 FD20160001 eosFD Installed Forced Diffusion A Installed to replace the FD Chamber with the high temperature startup problems.
2021-07-20 FD20160001 eosFD Maintenance Forced Diffusion A Performance check done. Referenced reset to 400ppm. Average Flux: -0.1, 0.07 STDEV Average ATM: 402.1ppm, 48.5C Average Soil: 398.1ppm, 48.2C
2023-04-11 FD20160001 eosFD Removed Forced Diffusion A Removed from BA underneath the tower. The data has been super noisy since mid March. The cable is still on the tower.
2023-05-09 FD20180026 eosFD Moved Forced Diffusion A Moved from BC to BA to replace sn FD20160001 which broke. We should have soil CO2 flux data from Whendee's chamber measurements at BC.
2024-10-09 FD20180026 eosFD Removed Forced Diffusion A Removed from BA tower and brought back to the lab. The BA field is getting plowed. Joe may use this FD chamber at Tonzi/Vaira.

This time though the CO2 values were very close, so maybe the problem was actually with sn 0035, not this sensor. However, during this calibration the CO2 span offset was 3.73ppm, which is larger than usual. There was also a large H2O zero offset of -15.1 mmol/m3. I thought about changing its chemicals, but they were just changed a year ago so they're probably ok. I will calibrate it again next week to check.

Weather Station
2018-02-28 A000591 Mark I Installed Weather Station A Installed on the top, south rail of the scaffolding, between the radiation boom and the precip bucket.
