Summary: Tried to install Decagon PRI sensors, tried to fix the CO2 profile system, set up daily split on the tower computer.

2014-08-21

I arrived about 10:30 with Siyan. It was clear, sunny and hot with a breeze at the top of the tower. We met Mr. Tonziâ€™s great, great grandson on the way in â€“ heâ€™s maybe 2 years old.

I tried to install the new Decagon PRI sensors at the top of the tower. I got them mounted and the program changed, but couldnâ€™t get them to work. I brought in the upward pointing one for testing in the lab.

The co2 profile system was giving bad data. I tried cleaning the cell and notice a stain at the outlet end of the cell. Even after cleaning it still was not stable. I pulled the power from the CR10X, the pump and the LI-820. I brought the LI-820 sn CGA-556 in for maintenance.

I set up the daily split routines on the tower computer.

I cleaned the radiometers and serviced the z-cams.
