Battery Bank
2014-09-10 BB-TW BB-Fab Upgrade We moved the three old group 8D out of the way and installed the four group 27 batteries. I had two older batteries in the lab and bought two more. We also installed a new solar charger under the solar panels.
2015-12-28 BB-TW BB-Fab Upgrade I added two batteries to the battery bank. I added two batteries from the lab. One form 5/14 and one from 5/11. Both tested okay in the lab. The existing batteries were two from 2/12 and two from 6/14.
2016-01-12 BB-TW BB-Fab Lost The old 8D batteries, the solar charge controller were stolen along with the old solar panels that were on top on the big box. Power is down until the charge controller can be replaced.
2016-01-21 BB-TW BB-Fab Repair The solar charge controller was replaced.
2017-06-01 BB-TW BB-Fab Removed The Twitchell Rice solar system was disassembled and removed. Two of the batteries were dead and will be recycled. The four other batteries load tested okay and were taken to Tonzi for the Floor solar power system. The solar panels and charge controller were removed and will be used at the temporary tower at East End this summer.

2009-08-06 08-0114 FMA RMT-200 Moved Removed from Rice and replaced with Frank's FGGA analyzer (sn 09-0012). Installed to replace LGR sn 05-0010 for maintenance.
2009-08-06 09-0012 FGGA Installed Installed Frank's FGGA at the rice

2009-12-09 0042 LI-7500A Installed Gas Analyzer CO2/H2O Installed on the Twitchell Rice tower to replace 0041 for calibration. Not sure what the note on 2009-09-09 indicates since this sensor was only installed at the rice on 20091209 and prior to that sn 0041 was installed at the rice on 20090731 (there are no indications in the field notes that would suggest this sensor was installed at the rice on 2009-09-09).
2010-04-05 0042 LI-7500A Calibration Lab Last calibration Dec 8, 2009 AGC=68, Pressure=100.491kPa Temperature=20.42C CO2 span=597.4ppm, H2O span=17.6C, N2 650psi, CO2 300psi Precal CO2 zero=0.9615, span=0.9897 Postcal CO2 zero=0.9620, span=0.9862 Precal H2O zero=0.7844, span=0.9773 Postcal H2O zero=0.7840, span=1.0151 CO2 zero off by +1.81ppm, span off by +2.6+-0.2ppm H2O zero off by -0.05g/m3, span off by -0.77C

Values improved, but I still don't agree with cal tank. I think the very low pressure is a problem. Maybe the internal filter is plugged up. I will do some check in the lab and then possibly swap out the LGR.
2010-03-04 09-0012 FGGA Removed This analyzer was removed from Twitchell for mainenance - low pressure on internal pump. It is now in the lab.
2010-03-04 09-0010 FGGA Installed This analyzer was installed at twitchell so that the other one could be removed for maintenance. This anaylzer had inital line lock problems, but has running properly when I left.

2010-04-22 09-0010 FGGA Calibration The LGR would not line lock CH4/H2O when power was restored. Initially the cell temperature was about 10C and I let it warm up to 18C with no lock and many restarts. Finally I called LGR and got their maintenance password to change line lock settings from 0.165 to 0.185 and this did the trick.

2010-06-16 TG1-0100 LI-7700 Removed Gas Analyzer CH4 The Li7700 was removed from the Sherman Island cow pasture tower and brought to Twitchell Rice for calibration.
2010-06-16 TG1-0100 LI-7700 Installed Gas Analyzer CH4 Moved from Twitchell Rice to Frank's tower in the middle of East Pond. It did not power up, so we brought it back to the lab.
2010-06-22 09-0010 FGGA Calibration Initial readings from the LGR were: 9:57, 29.18C, 129.50Torr, 13.902usec, 10Hz, 1.865ppm, 14819ppm, 385.91ppm I tried calibrating and notice very low pressure in low flow mode � 74.89Torr. I completed the calibration, but did not like it. I checked the exterior 2um filter and it seemed okay. I also checked the internal 2um filter and it seemed good as well. In checking the interior I noticed a loose connection. The connector that has to be disconnected to clean the mirror was left disconnected last time I cleaned the mirrors. I�m asking LGR what this connection does. It doesn�t look significant but after connecting it the pressure improved somewhat. And I did a second calibration. Precal: last cal June 3, 3.276ppm CH4, 433.0ppm CO2, 1800psi 10:54, 134.32Torr, 3.217+-0.003ppm CH4, 416+-2ppm CO2 Post cal: 10:57, 130.0Torr, 3.276+-0.002ppm CH4, 433+-1ppm CO2 Last readings from LGR: 11:02, 28.57C, 144.47Torr, 13.86usec, 10Hz, 1.888ppm, 15195ppm, 400.44ppm

Being 100ppb off seems a lot, last cal uses a standard closer to 1.8ppm though. Post cal CH4 read 3.276ppm. When we left the LGR read: 10:02PST, 25.49C, 144.34Torr, 16.080usec, 10Hz, 1.840ppm
2010-09-21 TG1-0100 LI-7700 Removed Gas Analyzer CH4 Removed from the Twitchell Rice tower for zero flux experiment at Moffett Field
2010-10-01 05-0010 FMA RMT-200 Removed The air conditioning had failed or been over come by unusually hot weather and the box got really hot (~60C). The LGR had crashed but the pump was running. Starting at stopping the pump and LGR might have back flushed fine particals into the cell. The ring time was down to 4usec. I removed the LGR for mirror cleaning.

2011-06-10 08-0114 FMA RMT-200 Installed Installed at Twitchell to replace sn 05-0010 which was hanging up on boot. No problems during install.
2011-08-12 08-0114 FMA RMT-200 Calibration The LGR pressure was really low 89.28 and in slow flow it was even lower. I checked the external 2um filter and it seemed clean. I checked the internal 2um filter and it was completely stopped up. I replaced it with a cleaned one. I blew the replacement filter clear with the cal tank but it still brought the ring time down after I got it all back together. The pressure was better and I had to close down the bypass valve to bring it in range. 9:00PST, 24.16C, 144.56Torr, 13.300usec, 10Hz, 1.831ppm The low flow pressure was still a bit low during calibration: 9:06PST, 24.05C, 125.31Torr, 13.302usec, 1Hz, 3.270ppm The calibration was almost right on with the 3.267ppm tank at 650psi. Last cal was July 1, 2011. The pressure fell to 111.7 by the end of the calibration. I also replace the 40um filter strainer. It was very dirty and had some spider parts in it. Before leaving the LGR read: 9:34PST, 24.55C, 144.81Torr, 13.291usec, 10Hz, 1.827ppm

2011-10-27 08-0114 FMA RMT-200 Removed I removed the LGR from Twitchell due to low pressure and almost no flow in low flow mode. I swapped in LGR sn 05-0010.
2011-10-27 05-0010 FMA RMT-200 Installed Installed to replace sn 08-0114 since in slow flow mode there was zero flow.
2011-11-22 05-0010 FMA RMT-200 Calibration We calibrated the LGR with a 3.276ppm tank with 400psi.

When we left it was back in high flow at 10Hz and pressure was about 141Torr, I did not adjust the bypass valve.
2011-12-18 05-0010 FMA RMT-200 Calibration All was running. The LGR read: 9:04PST, 31.36C, 97.41Torr, 13.973usec, 10Hz, 2.964ppm I calibrated the LGR with secondary tank with 3.276ppm CH4 at 250psi. Last cal was 2011-11-22 Pre cal: 9:12PST, 30.18C, 124.54Torr, 13.972usec, 1Hz, 3.200ppm Pressure was a little low but okay. After cal the LGR read 3.271ppm. I adjusted the bypass valve to bring the pressure to 146Torr in high flow mode. I returned the LGR to 10Hz before leaving.

2012-01-25 05-0010 FMA RMT-200 Calibration With the new external filter I calibrated the LGR. The cal tank has <200psi of 3.276ppm CH4. Last calibration was Dec 20, 2011. Pre Cal: 8:49PST, 29.61C, 156.07Torr, 13.871usec, 3.282ppm, 1Hz The first try at calibration failed somehow ending in a value (3.317ppm) farther from the span gas. A second calibration seemed to work fine and ended up right on. When I left the LGR read 9:56PST, 23.93C, 153.81Torr, 13.060usec, 10Hz, 2.311ppm

Initially calibrated on March 12th but had very large offsets. I discovered that very small changes in SS caused by the hood (~4%) caused about 50ppm changes in CO2. A second calibration on the 17th was much better.
