Maintenance Update

Hi Jim

The instruments were cleaned on Feb. 28, and March 27 before 12 noon. Nothing significant was noticed. I am still waiting for instrument brackets, long and short cable ties, and word on when to remove the groundtruth CT. Please advise

Cleaning update

I cleaned the instruments on Jan. 28 at 10 am. Not a lot of fouling noticed. I am still waiting for instrument brackets, long and short cable ties, and word on when to remove the groundtruth CT.

station back online November 30th

The station came back online without intervention on Thursday, November 30th. There continue to be sporadic transmitter error counts reported but as of December 26th they are not appearing consistently so there is less cause for alarm.

The current working theory is still that these error counts relate to a problem obtaining a daily GPS fix. If that's true, then we should be able to go for roughly one month with consistently reported transmitter errors before we can expect the station to go offline again. As of December 26th we only have two consecutive days' worth of transmitter error reports so if the GPS theory is true, the station could go offline again no earlier than late January.

However, if the current patterns hold, the station could well remain online indefinitely.
