Rec No.DateLoc FromTitleLoc ToNotes
6388 2023-08-24 Bouldin Corn Water Level Removed Lab none Removed from Bouldin Corn because its cable is short. Replaced by sn 20010770.
4792 2020-09-01 Bouldin Corn Water Level Moved Bouldin Corn none Moved tower and soil sensors back from field in preparation for corn harvest. Joe dug a new well east of the tower for the water level sensor. Sensor is 69 cm below ground.
Top of pipe to ground = 58 cm
Top of pipe to sensor = 127 cm
Well depth ~ 160 cm (dry at bottom)
4665 2020-08-05 Bouldin Corn Water Level Notes Bouldin Corn Water Level Measured with a tape measure
Top of well to ground = 47 cm
Top of well to water surface = 69 cm
Water level reading = 0.99 psi ~ 70 cm
4649 2020-05-19 Bouldin Corn Water Level Moved Bouldin Corn Water Level Dug new well after moving tower into corn field. Sensor is 91cm below ground level.
Water level from top of well = 131 cm (4.3’)
Top of well to ground = 47 cm
Top of well to sensor = 138 cm
Sensor psi reading = 0.12 psi ~ 8 cm (checks out with physical measurement!)
4294 2019-12-13 Lab none Installed Bouldin Corn Water Level Re-installed at Bouldin Corn after re-assembling tower. Sensor is 91cm below ground level.
Top of well to ground = 47 cm
Top of well to sensor = 138 cm
Top of well to water level = 131 cm (4.3’)
Sensor psi reading = 0.12 psi ~ 8 cm (consistent with physical measurement)
4261 2019-12-02 Bouldin Corn Water Level Removed Lab none Removed from Bouldin Corn site and brought back to the lab after the tower fell down during a rain/wind storm on 2019-11-26.
3924 2019-04-11 Lab none Installed Bouldin Corn Water Level Installed in a well underneath the BC tower. Sensor is 92cm below ground level. From field notes:
Top of pipe to ground = 25cm
Top of pipe to sensor = 117cm
Top of pipe to water = 85cm
Sensor reading = 0.46 psi ~ 32cm (matches manual reading)
3985 2018-12-10 Lab none Tested Lab none Tested in both air and water in the lab and saw an offset of about +0.975 cm. See RT report "Pressure transducer comparison 12-2018."
2888 2017-06-23 Sherman Wetland Water Level Removed Lab none Removed from the Sherman Wetland site due to NaNs in the data stream.
2293 2016-05-24 Lab none Installed Sherman Wetland Water Level Installed on the Sherman Wetland tower at the initial set up of the site.
1966 2015-09-04 Factory Calibration Factory Initial factory calibration. Recommended interval: 2 years of service.
