Daily Update – June 8

INSTRUMENT STATUS: Lidar automatically shut down ~1400-1530z due to overheating. Everything else good

WEATHER INFO:
Today wind speeds will be from the NW and decreasing in speed in the late afternoon. An inversion is expected overnight. High clouds expected through most of today. Tmax ~36C. Tomorrow, expect light NW winds, with some SW/W winds in the afternoon. High clouds possible through tomorrow. Tmax ~32C. No precip expected through the weekend, so the fire risk is extreme. The next chance of precip will be around June 13

PREVIOUS DAY OPS: Removed the reflective insulation from the lidar. It seemed to make the internal temperature warmer instead of cooler.

SITE PHOTOS: None

NEXT DAY OPS: Will have the instruments locations recorded with high precision GPS in the morning.
