Upon visiting weather station 6 on 6 Oct 2006, I found the solar panel wire chewed through and the rain gauge sensor wire chewed through. This appears to have happened on day 197. I am headed to weather station 6 today for repairs. Note that on Day 112 of 2005, the hourly data output for weather station 1 was changed to every 10 minutes and a PAR sensor was added. 5-Nov-07 Added data from all stations.
