Vaira: 2010-09-02 08:30:00 (DOY 245)
Author: Joe Verfaillie
Others: Siyan

Summary: Standard field work, checked then removed tipping bucket.

Vaira
9/2/2010

Sun heats yellow grass
Wish for rain at Vaira but
Rain bucket broken

I arrived with Siyan about 8:30am. It was clear, hot (~30C) and sunny. Not much wind. Some trees turning color here. No sign of rain recently.

I tried a couple more programs on the tipping bucket. The all seemed to miss some of the tips. Maybe the tipping bucket is bad. I brought it in for testing.

Solar charge controller was reading: 13.3V, 13.3 solar Amps, 3 load Amps.
