• Reset the temperature setting of all three space heaters to half of maximum. All three heaters are still set to their half power settings.

• Connected to Campbell Scientific Data logger port directly at collection site terminal box unsuccesfully. Site Manager Jen Hershey stated that sometimes this method does not work.

• Ethernet cable from data logger terminal box to the site's trailer is buried under snow was found to be severed close to the aforementioned terminal box, and will need replacement. This could be the cause for zero surface data retrieval over the last several months.

• Removed camera from housing fixed to top of the site's trailer, and is possessed by Jen Hershey currently. This was done due to its not being responsive after David Keith attempted to connect to it directly using a null modem cable and laptop following removing the camera's top and pressing its black circular reset button. Please note that the camera's software was used and has been used to re-initialize the camera, successfully, after manufacturer servicing during august 2009, approximately. The Ethernet cable normally used to transmit images from the camera to UND Atmospheric Science's website provided a live internet connection to the laptop mentioned previously. This seems to rule out a failed internet connection. Lastly, it was discovered that there was ice located in the front bottom side portion of the permanent “waterproof” camera housing atop the site's trailer. This could mean that liquid water could have penetrated the housing and caused electrical damage to the camera.

• Removed NOAA 915 wind profiler data drive from site's trailer due to its being full. Jen Hershey will coordinate its data transfer to NOAA. Other profile is half full approximately.

The field site was visited by Jen Hershey (site manager) and David Keith on January 21st, 2009.
