Site Data Quality Status

  1. ECOR:E14 – Latent heat flux and CO2 flux data is missing. I have opened    DQPR #718 to account for this issue.     

 

SGP SDS Status

ECR Status 

  1. ECR 551 – Kevin Widener is collecting information to determine the best approach for refurbishing the MMCR antennas.
  2. Jimmy will be contacting Pavlos Kolias to gather information regarding the potential for a permanent scanning precipitation radar.

 

Site Development Status

  1. Storage expansion is near completion.

Instrument Maintenance

1.   RWP50 should be up and running in the near future (next few weeks).

2.            RWP915 we are having problems with the amplifier and/or power supply. Vendor will determine what needs to be done. Because our equipment is obsolete any maintenance provided by the vendor will be expensive.

Field Campaigns

  1. AIRS: The phase II AIRS launches continue at the CF.
  2. CO2 LIDAR Validation: Still no word from Mike Dobbs.
  3. PGS: Continues as scheduled.
  4. CLASIC: Will be underway within 16 months.  
  5. HydroKansas: We need to iron out details regarding maintenance expectations.

Issues/Other Items/Action Item Review

  1. David Groff will be working with Don Bond to make preparations for SWATS installations. At this time the ground is too dry for installation.
