Summary: Swapped tower computer and added modem, removed tower rope, removed soil CO2 relay at Open profile.

Tonzi
2016-03-23

I arrived about 10am with Siyan. It was warm, clear and sunny. Everything is very green. The tree leaves are still young and light green. Some flowers already on the ground. Tonziâ€™s pond is full.

I swapped out the Compute Stick at the Tower for a new one with Windows 10 and an AT&T modem. It is setup to collect the 30min averages from the CR1000 and to send that data to Berkeley each day at noontime. I got the scripts to run manually while I was there. But have not received data automatically. Something must be wrong. Iâ€™ll do some testing in the lab and try again before the Ameriflux inter-comparison.

I removed the rope from the tower due to many chew marks. In fact a section broke off and got stuck in the pulley. I left the broken section there.

The relay to power the Vaisala CO2 sensors in the Open profile broke. I removed the relay and powered the sensors directly. They will be on continuously until I replace the relay.

The lens cover on zcam one is still getting stuck.

The tower top met did not get fully collected.

For the Ameriflux visit I can move the shadow band diffuse PAR sensor to a horizontal pipe, but I need to rotate the mount 90 degrees.
