Summary: Downloaded first set of pressure data from pond, fix software error for sending data, swapped 7500, Stardot date reset.

Vaira
2016-12-07

I arrived about 11:00 with Siyan, Daphne and Jorge Perez. It was cold and mostly cloudy with a light breeze. A few trees still have a few leaves but most have lost all their leaves. The grass is green and growing slowly. There were a couple of puddles in the road and the water hole was close to full.

We went to the pond to download the pressure data first. A herd of hungry cows surrounded the truck at the creek both arriving and leaving. We almost did not get past a wet spot on the way up the hill on the other side. We may need four-wheel drive if the road is any wetter â€“ or walk. Everything looked fine at the pond. We downloaded the data and read the staff gauge 15.35ft.

Back at the main tower, Jorge cleaned the radiation sensors, Siyan did the standard fieldwork and I downloaded data. This site had not been sending data because the wrong script was trying to run on the computer. I fixed this and manually ran it.

Daphne swapped the 7500 â€“ sn 0042 came off and sn 0041 went on.

Something happened to the Stardot date. On 2016-11-24 the data was reset to 2000-01-01. The time seems okay though.
