Brook reported that the rainfall on enviro-weather is much greater than what we saw. I discovered that a bit of insulation had deteriorated allowing the tipping bucket to short out. Since I could not assign the rainfall from the 15 minute weighing record to the 5 minute tipping bucket record. I nulled out all of the suspected tipping bucket data from 2023-7-14 to 2023-7-25.

Snow depth 7.5 inches at 13:00 at Rhinelander and 7.5 inches at 16:00 at Escanaba.

Solar panel line appeared shorted at Rhinelander logger #118 R2. Shortened the cable and installed a new solar controller and battery. Replaced battery at the Rhinelander weather station.

Snow depth at Hancock 7 inches. Replaced battery on the Moisture logger closest to the weather station.

Loggernet radio network locked up again. Power cycled the base radio and it things started to work again. 105 logger reports Table defs suspect. Reloaded table defs in setup. stopped and restarted the program which restored operation.

Checked lux arbor mle rain gauge. All clear

reconnected the rain-gauge on BCSE 102 logger.

sampled gravimetric soil samples from G5 Escanaba around 10:00 and Rhinelander between 14:00 and 15:00 local time. Checked weather station. rain funnel clear at Rhinelander, plugged at escanaba.

checked and removed non-responsive CS650 probes from the interactions plots loggers. There were 5 bad probes.

Second radio network storm this week. I swapped out the USB to serial connector without a change in the symptoms. I powered down the main radio for a few minutes, and the storm returned after powering it back on. I powered down the rain gauge and turned off the main radio for about 5 minutes, and it seemed to recover. The table names on logger 105 were corrupted again as in the previous episode. Last time I was able to restart the program on 105 remotely, and it restored the table names. I suspect that it is just the cache that got corrupted during the network storm and not the data logger tables. This time, I could not maintain communication to the 105 logger long enough to restart the program. I will have to run out there and restart by power cycling. I\’m leaving communication with logger 105 off for the moment until I can power cycle the logger.

Kevin reports that the raingauge at Lake City was pugged and the funnel was full of water.

replaced battery at lux arbor weather station.

replaced battery at Lux Arbor weather station and removed the router.

replaced SR50 with SR50A-L at LTER weather station. SR50 only returned 0\’s. Adjusted the sensor height in the program to reflect the new sensor length.

BSCE raingauge was plugged. Cleaned orfice and re-installed.

Replaced battery on Lux Arbor weather station and removed the camera. I\’m not sure if it\’s a new battery.

BCSE rain-gauge was plugged. I dumped the water and cleaned out the funnel.

replaced wind speed and direction sensor on LTER weather station. Installed wind speed sensor model 014 serial number 447 and wind direction sensor model 024A serial number U2084

replaced the air temperature and humidity sensor at Lux Arbor. New sensor E16104. Found out that SDI12 commands are case sensitive, so \”m!\” != \’M!\’. I must have replaced the program when it failed but I did not record it. I updated the program to use \”M\” everywhere.

replaced HMP sensor on the LTER weather station.
