6333 2022-11-17 Tonzi Infrared Temperature Ref Panel A Removed Lab none Removed from Tonzi at the conclusion of the IRT calibration along with CR23X sn 2301
6040 2022-10-20 Lab none Installed Tonzi Infrared Temperature Ref Panel A Install at the Tonzi cal panel for calibration. But I damaged the data logger so not collecting data until next time.
6036 2022-10-19 Experiment none Removed Lab none I removed this sensor from the bike kit to calibrate it against the cal panel at Tonzi.
5935 2022-08-10 Lab none Installed Experiment Installed on the back of Robert's e-bike for his urban heat island transect in Oakley
5891 2022-06-07 Tonzi Infrared Temperature Grass B Removed Lab none Disconnected and packed up on 05/26 but brought back to the lab today - no longer needed
5301 2021-06-02 Tonzi Infrared Temperature Ref Panel B Moved Tonzi Infrared Temperature Grass B Moved from pointing at the cal panel to pointing at the grass. It was moved to the cal panel to replace the IRT there for cleaning. I realized later that the grass is probably more important than cal panel but there should be a mini inter-comparison now.
5257 2021-05-04 Lab none Installed Tonzi Infrared Temperature Grass B Reinstalled after cows chewed the cable and the first attempt at a splice had a bad solder joint.
5251 2021-04-29 Lab none Repair Lab none A few weeks ago I spliced a new wire on to the circular connector at the end of the cable where a cow chewed it off. I tried to install it in the field on 2021-04-01 and thought I was missing a resistor. On 2021-04-18 I was sure that it did not need a resistor but it still didn't work. I tested the sensor on another cable in the field and it was fine so my splice must be bad. Today I found the the black wire was not spliced well. I fixed the splice and the senor tested okay in the lab.
5221 2021-03-17 Tonzi Infrared Temperature Grass B Removed Lab none A cow ate the wire from the sensor to the data logger box. Removed for repair in the lab.
3992 2019-05-30 Lab none Installed Tonzi Installed near the Floor solar panels looking at the grass to the north. Footprint of about 1.23m x 2.5m diameter
3932 2019-04-16 Tonzi Removed Lab none Removed with the wooden cal panel for the FLIR because cows chewed the TC wires and the new cal panel is better
3477 2018-06-01 Lab none Installed Tonzi Installed near the Floor Tower on a CR10X to give temperatures of a black panel as a reference for the thermal camera.
