Others: Siyan

Summary: Standard field work, missed collecting latest me data, checked sonic settings.

Vaira
2014-06-25

I arrived about 8:30am with Siyan. It was clear, sunny and warm. The grass is completely dead. The water hole is much lower than it was four weeks ago. The trees still look pretty good.

We did the standard field work. Seems I missed collecting the most recent met data from the CR23X. I got some of the older data but not the last two weeks. It should be collected next time.

I checked the sonic settings
Vaira Sonic: B3 E1 F1 G1 J2 J5 L1 M7 NA O1 P6 U1 Z1 X1
B3 – 9600 baud
E1 – Full duplex
F1 – 8 bits, no parity
G1 – measurement average off
J2 – Two differential channels
J5 – No SE channels
L1 -
M7 – UVW continuous binary
NA – id A
O1 – ASCII format comma separated
P6 – 10 samples per second
U1 – m/s
X1 – Align U to Axis

This seems to indicate that the U axis is aligned with the transducer head and not the north spar. This could introduce a 30 degree offset to wind directions.
