AWS 2004 Repair of AWS returned to Madison New sensor suite for LTER/RACER rock Mcmurdo May storm

AWS repair notes AWS 8935 (from Minna Bluff) –Power cord damage resulted in V+ shorting to ground. Interface/power regulation board fried AWS 8916 (from first Vito install) – Transmitter control board had marginal ground connection. Would not initialize every time.

New sensor suite for LTER New AWS for Antarctic Peninsula will have the same sensor suite as those on the Lawrence M Gould and the Nathaniel B. Palmer.
