"Virtual station" data is also being collected on the ICON Web site at,

Note that the provisional station name designation CCBZ1 will likely be changed.


Buoy Installed


Buoy has finally been installed.  There are some electronics issues that need to be cleaned up.  Only some of the sensors are transmitting, and we have to correct the script that sends the data file to the FTP site.

Script should get worked on this week.  I will need to replace an SDMSIO4 on my next visit.

Cheers,

Jon Fajans
