 +The THUM sensor software creates a Web site file on Glacialridge2 (computer at the field site) in the C:\GR_DATA\THUM\html directory.
 +
 +The C:\GR_DATA\THUM\html\temprh.htm files need to be transferred to the Web server to update the ./THUM/temprh.htm file.  The temprh.thm file is accessed when viewing the Web site, http://glacialridge.atmos.und.edu/layout.php?page=trailer_temp page.
