Summary: Wired in last sonic for intercomparison, cold and windy

Kanishka and I arrived around 16:15 PDT. This was just a quick stop today to add a missing sonic cable that we didn't have when setting up yesterday's intercomparison. It was cold and windy!

I added a cable to sonic sn 152601 (4th sonic when counting from the north end) and wired it to CR6 U5-U8. The data seemed reasonable, especially after I remembered to wire in its power wires as well. I also noted down which sonic was wired to which datalogger ports; I added this info to the setup notes from yesterday.

I downloaded 30-min data from the two CR6s, Adex CR1000, and CR1000 met. Everything looks ok so far. I forgot to bring a card reader today, so I couldn't check the fast sonic data on the CR6 or Adex CR1000.

I also wanted to change the Adex CR1000 program today to save more than a few days of 30min data (I had changed the memory allocation for the 30min data table yesterday when testing the program and didn't change it back), but the CR1000 + CFM100 is usually only happy if I send a new program and then put in a blank card. I forgot the card reader and spare CF cards today, so I decided just to leave the program as is.

We left at 16:50 PDT.
