Hi Guys,

Our west coast sensor team is currently looking at early to mid-April for the Jalama sensor repair. I know it has been a long wait but they have been struggling with infrastructure failure from the historic Feb. storm. Some areas of the San Gabriel Mountains recorded 10-15" of rain and gusts and wet soils felled hundreds of trees.

it has always amazed me that our west crews have been able to maintain a real-time sensor in such a remote location for decades. Repairing requires flying a sensor crew to the nearest airport, renting a van and rack, renting a ladder and other equipment and getting access permission from the property owner. etc. And we have thousands of other stations to maintain in the USA, Caribbean, Baja and Canada.

Here are a few shots of them at work.
