Status 2011 02 14, update

Barbados Cloud Observatory Posted on February 14, 2011 by lutzhirschFebruary 14, 2011

KATRIN is running and scanning again since 18:30 UT.

To prevent further HD damage I changed the scanning a little. The movements between the scans are much slower now. To save time I clipped away 5° of the scanning sector on each side. Let’s see if that runs stable.

Marvin solved a lot of problems, but unfortunately there are still systems down. Due to the internet break yesterday at exact the time Marvin was at site we had to leave the institute and get access from home…

Marvin told me that it was extremely windy there and a lot of sea spray caused the MRR to close the hatch from the lidars. We will ask for a new Software to exclude the lower range bins. The cameras were cleaned yesterday but are again salty….

Up to now:

  • Lidar: running
  • Dial: down, pending
  • Cloudradar KATRIN: running until 24:00 UTC yesterday, then the acquisition stopped… pending
  • Ceilometer : running
  • MRR-CIMH: running
  • MRR-Deebles: running
  • Raingauge: running
  • Cloudcam: running
  • WeatherSensor: running

The status of our site is still a little unknown, some units are not accessible up to now, Marvin will come today to help us :

  • Lidar: down
  • Dial: down
  • Cloudradar KATRIN: running
  • Ceilometer : running
  • MRR-CIMH: running
  • MRR-Deebles: running
  • Raingauge: stopped
  • Cloudcam: running
  • WeatherSensor: running

We had a power drop yesterday around 16:00 UT !!

Seems that the site (and also Ragged Point) was down for a while.

The status of our site as far as I could figure out by now:

  • Lidar: down
  • Dial: down ?
  • Cloudradar KATRIN: running and scanning since 19 UT today.
  • Ceilometer : running
  • MRR-CIMH: ?
  • MRR-Deebles: running
  • Raingauge: ?
  • Cloudcam: ?
  • WeatherSensor: running
