- 14:50 MST: The SRRL BMS Temp/RH HMP-60 Probe (SE) was swapped out with a calibrated sensor at 09:12 MST today. -Afshin Andreas
- 17:42 MST: The Flatirons M2 tower was dropped yesterday from 07:36 to 11:24 MST, so that the temperature probes, wind speed and direction sensors could replaced. Calibration constants for new temperature and wind speed sensors were updated in logger program at 09:23 MST yesterday. -Afshin Andreas
- 22:12 MST: The SRRL EKO MS-711, which is part of 2-axis WISER spectroradiometer was replaced with an EKO loaner instrument at 13:39 MST so that NREL's instrument can be shipped for repair. -Afshin Andreas
- 13:44 MST: he SRRL BMS Temp/RH HMP-60 Probe (Deck) was swapped out with a calibrated sensor at 13:08 MST today. -Afshin Andreas
- 11:17 MST: The SRRL BMS Temp/RH HMP-60 Probe (Tower) was swapped out with a calibrated sensor at 9:17 MST today. -Afshin Andreas
- 11:28 MST: Flatirons M2 radiometers were swapped out with instruments calibrated in BORCAL 2022-02 between 10:36 and 11:11 MST today. The Direct signal was also repaired (cable was broke). Logger updated with new factors at 10:54 MST. -Afshin Andreas
- 08:54 MST: The SRRL EKO MS-711 (part of 2-axis WISER Spectroradiometer) has been intermittently failing (reading near zero). Problem started near 15-Oct-2022 and has been progressively getting worse. -Afshin Andreas
- 13:18 MST: SolarTAC PWV data is still unavailable until external agency data processor updates IP address for new 4G cell modem. -Afshin Andreas
- 13:16 MST: Cell modem at SolarTAC has been replaced and data collection has resumed. In addition, Global, Direct, and Diffuse radiometers were swapped out between 11:18 and 12:06 MST today with radiometers calibrated in BORCAL 2022-02. -Afshin Andreas
- 14:17 MST: The SRRL BMS Global 90 PSP and LI-200 Sensors were replaced with sensors calibrated in BORCAL 2022-03&04 between 13:54 and 14:07 MST today. Logger was updated with new factors at 14:05 MST today. -Afshin Andreas
- 14:06 MST: October through December 2022 Monthly Data Sets & Reports/Plots for SRRL BMS have been generated. -Afshin Andreas
- 10:36 MST: SRRL AOD ESR-L2 and MRI-L2 data sets are not available since the end of October 2022, because SkyNET may make a revision to the data set. However, the ESR-L2A, MRI-L2A, and SR-CEReS are still being generated. -Afshin Andreas
- 08:42 MST: SRRL BMS pressure sensor is operational. No problem was found (but sensor was power cycled during troubleshooting). -Afshin Andreas
- 14:28 MST: The SRRL BMS pressure sensor failed at 13:15 MST today. It could be due to a clogged pressure port. Until the sensor can be investigated tomorrow, BMS is reporting a fixed value of 813.6 mBar (present value as reported by the SRRL BORCAL reference pressure). -Afshin Andreas
- 11:24 MST: Due to SRRL staff shortage, BMS Maintenace (cleaning) was not performed between December 22 through January 2 (except December 27), data during that time should be used with caution. -Afshin Andreas
- 11:22 MST: Data Collection from SolarTAC has been down since December 23 at 20:11 MST due to the Verizon 3G service shutdown. Prior to the holidays we were unable to obtain a working 4G cell modem, data will be unavailable until a 4G cell modem is obtained. -Afshin Andreas
