After several long days of working at our site, which didn’t leave much time for updating the blog, we now have most of our instruments up and running and the data system connected to a network! We had to overcome some hurdles with getting power to the site and find a solution for conflicting IP addresses between our internal and external networks. Dave Turner and Doug Kennedy from NOAA and Tedd Russ from NCAR helped us setting up the network and we are grateful for their support.
Here are a few pictures showing the site last night as the sun was setting and we getting ready to leave:
The lidar is the only instrument not yet working properly. We hope to soon get some feedback from the vendor about what might be the issue.
We will keep you posted
