AERI-bago Daily Summary
-----------------------

Date: 29 May 2002 CST (Wednesday)
Location: Homestead Site, IHOP
Operator: R. Tanamachi

Weather Conditions:
Clear all day with light winds in the morning. High ~85 F. Weak dryline
moving in from the west caused a few small, isolated cumulonimbus towers
to appear along the western skyline during the afternoon, accompanied by
stronger southerly winds at the homestead site.

Instrument Status:
AERI hatch closed during the night for unknown reasons (possibly
condensation on the rain sensor). Stirling cooler current is looking
funny; Wayne says the cooler may need to be power cycled at some point
when the AERI is not collecting good data (i.e. during rain).

Science:
KingAir and LearJet flyovers today around noon for BLH. Mobile ground
units on standby.

Miscellaneous:
Convective outlook for the next three days looks pretty boring.

IHOP Ops Center in Norman called to encourage AERIbago people to attend
the 8:15 am weather briefings at the DOW garage in Liberal.

Weather station (bago-wx) appears to have powered itself down due to a
dead battery, in spite of the fact that it was firmly plugged into the
power strip. Moved the power adapter to a different outlet, rebooted,
and restarted Camptown; seems to be ok now.

Best country song lyrics ever (heard on K101 today):
"Well, I was drunk the day that Momma got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
Momma got runned over by a dang ol' train."
    - David Allen Cole, "You Never Call Me By My Name"
