May 20, 2025
- 18:41 MST: MIDC has been updated to support the revised SR-CEReS netCDF format and data collection has resumed (no data loss). However historical data needs to be re-acquired from SkyNET due to a data processing issue on their end that started on August 11, 2022 which resulted no reported data in the afternoon. -Afshin Andreas
- 18:39 MST: SRRL ASI-16 CDOC cloud processing resumed on May 17, however the clear sky library needs to be regenerated using the "new" camera. -Afshin Andreas
- 13:43 MST: February 2025 through March 2025 Monthly Data Sets & Reports/Plots for SRRL BMS have been generated. -Afshin Andreas
- 14:07 MST: The SRRL BMS 1-Axis pyranometers (CMP22, SPLite2, LI200R) were swapped out today @ approx. 13:34 MST with radiometers calibrated in BORCAL SW 2025-02, factors updated in logger @ 13:37 MST today. -Afshin Andreas
- 21:54 MST: All SRRL BMS Global Horizontal Shortwave Digital Radiometers were calibrated in BORCAL SW 2025-02 (via signal patching), this includes: SMP12, SMP11, SR30, and MS-80S. Radiometers were updated with new calibration factors (R@45) at 10:24 MST today. -Afshin Andreas
- 07:19 MST: All SRRL BMS Global Horizontal and Direct Normal Shortwave Analog Radiometers were calibrated in BORCAL SW 2025-02 (via signal patching), this includes: CMP22 (vent), CMP22 #1, CMP22 #2, CMP11, CM6b, CM3, SR25, SR20, MS-80, MS-802, MS-410, MS-602, SPP, PSP, GPP, SP-510, TSP-700, SP-Lite2, ML-01, LI-200R, LI-200, SP-110, CHP1 #1, CHP1 #2, sNIP, NIP, DR20, DR02, MS-57, LI-201. Logger was updated with new calibration factors (R@45) at 07:34 MST on 10 May 2025 (07:32 MST for RvsZ for PSP). Digital Radiometers were calibrated but the factors have NOT been updated inside of the radiometers yet. -Afshin Andreas
- 15:35 MST: The SRRL ASI-16 Camera was returned to service on May 5, however CDOC cloud processing is down (only BRBG is available at this time). -Afshin Andreas
- 07:07 MST: MIDC data collection for the SRRL AOD has been put on pause for SR-CEReS format only. SkyNet has revised the data set to conform to the format of ESR-SunRAD and ESR-MRI. Data collection will resume once MIDC has been updated. -Afshin Andreas
- 15:13 MST: The following stations have been added to MIDC:
- Oregon State University (Burns), data starts Feb 27, 2025
- Oregon State University (Hermiston), data starts Feb 23, 2025
- University of Washington (Seattle), data starts Aug 26, 2024
- 07:46 MST: MIDC Data Collection is down since April 5, 2025 @ 13:12 MST due to network maintenance. Data collection will hopefully resume later today or tomorrow morning. -Afshin Andreas
- 07:55 MST: The SRRL ASI-16 Sky Imager has been removed for maintenance. The older YES TSI-800 camera can be used temporarily. -Afshin Andreas
- 07:45 MST: SolarTAC lost power on March 18, 2025 @ 20:09 MST, data will not update until power is restored. -Afshin Andreas
- 19:55 MST: The SRRL BMS Temp/RH HMP-60 Probe (Data Lab) was swapped out with a calibrated sensor at 09:37 MST today. -Afshin Andreas
- 09:57 MST: The SRRL BMS Temp/RH HMP-60 Probe (Sun Edison) was swapped out with a calibrated sensor at 09:34 MST today. -Afshin Andreas
- 16:13 MST: The execution method used for MIDC SPA, SAMPA, and SOLPOS Calculators has been improved for greater efficiency. -Afshin Andreas
- 10:01 MST: The SRRL BMS Temp/RH HMP-60 Probe (Deck) was swapped out with a calibrated sensor on 3/1/2025 at 07:10 MST. -Afshin Andreas
- 14:15 MST: The SRRL BMS Temp/RH HMP-60 Probe (Tower) was swapped out with a calibrated sensor at 14:07 MST today. -Afshin Andreas
- 08:27 MST: Communcation has been lost to Flatirons M2 shed on February 18, 2025 at 11:09 MST. Problem is unknown at this time; data will not update until resolved. -Afshin Andreas
- 08:55 MST: December 2024 through January 2025 Monthly Data Sets & Reports/Plots for SRRL BMS have been generated. -Afshin Andreas
