Known Issues with Gauge Data
April 2012
Most gauges were located at Wallops main base. Limited cases
available, but some nugget calculations were made on a 4/22 case.
May 2012
Great case on 05/30.
June 2012
June 2: Bucket A on C2A (NASA0017) blocked. Should be ignored.
June 8: Bucket A on C2A (NASA0017) blocked. Should be ignored.
June 25: Bucket A on C2A (NASA0017) blocked. Should be ignored.
In general, NASA0017 should disregarded for June 2012.
July 2012
NASA0018 was taken offline for repair.
July 12: Maintenance. No actual tips recorded.
July 13: Maintenance. No actual tips recorded.
August 2012
August 3, 2012
-
NASA0018 was returned to Wallops to replace solar panel. All tips
from August 3 to August 22 should be ignored
-
NASA0011 is steadily losing charge. We will check to see if the
vegetation near the site is getting in the way of the sun light.
Some tips on August 3, 2012 were due to maintenance and should be
ignored.
August 11, 2012
-
Good event. NASA0001/B, NASA0004/B, NASA0007/A and NASA0018/A
failed to report any tips although other gauge did. Remove from record.
-
NASA0024/A had -57.3% bias which is suspect.
August 15, 2012
-
Ignore all tips from 1500-1600 UTC on NASA0018 due to maintenance
August 17, 2012
August 17-20, 2012
-
NASA0007/A is not reporting any tips.
-
NASA00016/A is reporting too few tips.
August 29, 2012
- NASA0011 zero tips all day.. maintenance.
- NASA0016 zero tips all day.. maintenance.

Maintenance Report
August 30, 2012
- Ignore all tips, all gauges up to 1500 UTC for maintenance.
- Specifically for NASA0004, NASA0007 and NASA0009. Obstruction and/or
misaligned buckets fixed on all of these platforms, and levelled.
September 2012
September 05, 2012 - ??
- NASA0012 quit sending packets. Last time stamp of last packet was:
2012-09-06,02:00:16.1
September 18-19, 2012
- NASA0006: A/B = 41/4 on 9/18 but A/B = 7/43 on 9/19?? Investigating.
- NASA0010: A/B = 4/33 on 9/18 & A/B = 2/7 on 9/19. Ignore Bucket B for both
days. Paul will investigate on 9/20.
September 20, 2012
October 2012
October 1, 2012
- NASA0012 is on it's way back to WFF. Was sent to Iowa for refirbishment
and now contains soil moisture probe.
October 6-9, 2012
- NASA0023 (Bucket B) and NASA0006 (Bucket A) not reporting for 10/06-09/2012
event. Should be ignored.
- NASA0012 still not returned from Iowa. Ignore all tips
October 11, 2012
- NASA0012 has returned but is on pad at Wallops. Should not be included
an grid events/analysis until further notice.
- Maintenance trip by P. Bashor
Maintenance Report
November 1, 2012
- Gauge maintenance on several gauges after storm. No rain for any gauges
