Skyway Meter...
I'm sure ya'll have noticed the meters have been down lately. Todd has been my "go to" guy over the years to get them fixed but it seems he has changed positions. Anyway, he forwarded it on and hopefully they will be fixed and up and running soon.
Jay Mr. Orkins, I am forwarding your message to Rich Bourgerie and Darren Wright. Darren Wright is out PORTS manager. Rich Bourgerie is our Operations Team Lead. I cannot provide any information on repair times for the data in question. Part of this is due to this area being part of the Tampa Bay PORTS system. As part of the PORTS system, local authorities pay some of the costs for the operation and maintenance of data collection platform. In the case of Tampa Bay, the maintenance is done by a local contractor. We have little or no control over this. Should you have any more questions on this issue, you might direct them to Rich Bourgerie or Darren Wright. ================================================== ======== Todd Ehret Physical Oceanographer NOAA, National Ocean Service Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services Tide and Tidal Current Predictions |

I guess either some one forgot to feed the monkey or plug in the hair dryer that makes that sensor spin up higher than normal.
Thanks Jay for checking into it. -C

Skyway Update
Just got email from PORTS Manager - High winds my ass
Shane Hi Darren -- We are scheduled to service this site on Thursday (6/14/07). We were not able to get out there over the past 2 weeks due to high winds and seas or to lack of personnel availability on the days when winds were calm. We hope to have it back up by the end of the week. Thanks -- Mark Darren Wright wrote: > Dr. Mark Luther (luther@marine.usf.edu) maintains this sensor and is > aware of the problem.

Guys,
Its going to be just a little longer before these high winds go away and the SKyway meter gets repaired...could be any day now. You think they could calibrate it while they are putting it back on line? |

Hi Shane -- We're on our way out there to swap systems (our 2nd attempt). We hope it will be back up by later today if we're successful.
