We see a big q1 dropout coinciding perfectly with the temperature falling to the dew point. Neat - shows up well against the CSU dew point data, can we get that signal in the ccc.atmos.colostate.edu database, I'll have to go check. Up till then, q1 was very steady, hardly even varying with temperature. Have you had any rainfall since the expt started? > Dew may actually be worse that rain since dew collects > everywhere while rain only runs off the roof. Hey, good point.

I'd got to thinking that the q went so low it might have killed the pinger again. And q3 continues happily to do its weird routine, all by itself. -- Paul Nicholson, --
