Vaira: 2012-09-05 07:30:00 (DOY 249)
Author: Joe Verfaillie
Others: Siyan

Summary: Swapped CR1000 card, added serail port for CR1000, removed SHF plate for calibration.

Vaira
2012-09-05

I arrived with Siyan about 7:30. On the way up in the dark there were flashes of lightening visible to the south. It was mostly cloudy overhead and very dark with some thunder to the east, but to the west it was mostly clear. The dead grasses are still golden and the trees are beginning to brown.

I added a new USB to serial adapter to the computer to connect to the CR1000. We swapped the card on the CR1000.

I removed SHF plate #1 (sn 001603 60.3uv/(W/m2)) for calibration. It was buried partly under the end of the PVC conduit and under a gopher mound about 10cm below the ground surface. I put a jump in to zero out the channel.

Siyan did the standard fieldwork.

The radiation sensors were clean.
