6411 2023-09-18 Lab none Loaned Loaned none Loaned to Gracie Pearsall at UCSC for a informational display at Elkhorn Reserve
5630 2021-12-13 Lab none Tested Lab none Tested this sensor against an HMP155 on the lab bench. Both sensors were aspirated. Temperature data is inconsistent, sometimes matching the HMP155 and sometimes not. Do not use this sensor.
5616 2021-12-01 Bouldin Alfalfa none Removed Lab none Removed from the BA HMP intercomparison from wiring position DE1/2 because it was giving bad data. It was brought back to the lab for testing.
5586 2021-11-18 Lab none Installed Bouldin Alfalfa none Installed on BA tower for an HMP45 intercomparison with the tower HMP155.
5450 2021-09-03 Bouldin Alfalfa Removed Lab none Removed from BA bouncer tower, where it was the lower T/RH sensor. It was replaced by sn T2820183.
5447 2021-08-04 Lab none Installed Bouldin Alfalfa none Installed on the BA bouncer tower next to the lower sonic for the advection experiment. It was wired to U11/U12.
5423 2021-08-02 Lab none Tested Lab none Ran for a few hours in the lab in the afternoon next to another HMP45, sn T1250012. There is an offset in RH and AirT, but they track ok.
4159 2019-11-19 Sherman Barn RH & Temp Removed Lab none Removed from SB and brought back to the lab for further testing. This sensor had some spikes in late September and starting mid-Nov hovered around 2degC.
3587 2018-07-11 Lab none Installed Sherman Barn RH & Temp Installed at Sherman Barn on the scaffolding frame in the southwest corner of the cow fence. This is the initial set up of the site.
3254 2017-12-19 Twitchell Alfalfa Removed Lab RH & Temp Removed from the HMP inter-comparison at Twitchell Alfalfa
3271 2017-12-18 Lab none Installed Twitchell Alfalfa Installed at Twitchell Alfalfa for an inter-comparison of HMPs
3225 2017-12-08 Lab none Repair Lab none The circuit board was corroded and the red wire was broken at the board connection. Joe repaired it. This sensor needs a new o-ring before going outdoors.
2814 2017-06-01 Tonzi-Tower Removed Lab none Removed from the lowest position of CO2 profile system on the Tonzi Tower. At least one has not been working and all need to be compared against each other for drift.
1680 2015-01-21 Lab none Installed Tonzi-Tower Installed in the lowest position in the Tonzi Tower profile to replace sn T0720012 for testing/repair.
455 2011-11-22 Mayberry Tower Removed Lab none Removed from the Mayberry tower because the cable was not long enough for the new higher mounting of the eddy sensors. Replaced by HMP45 sn U2120013.
235 2010-10-14 Lab none Installed Mayberry Tower Installed as part of the tower at the new Mayberry wet land site.
218 2010-09-29 Moffett Field Removed Lab none Removed with protable tower at end of zero flux study at Moffett Field.
217 2010-09-23 Lab none Installed Moffett Field Installed on a portable tower at Moffett Field for a zero flux study
28 2009-12-21 Lab none Tested Lab none I tested the HMP45AC on a CR1000 against HMP45C sn U2120013. No problems found. See file HMP45A_CalCheck.xls.
4 2009-12-01 Factory Calibration Lab none Vaisala factory calibration - certificate on file.
Problem: The probe was out of tolerance. The modified probe cable was not working. Intermittent readings.
Action: Probe was calibrate.
0...100% = 0...1V, -40...+60C = 0...1V
