We usually have a weather station connected to pcfsyg. However, if it is unavailable or broken, there is another weather sensor (used for the SLR) and it is possible to extract the data and merge it with the PCFS logs before they are submitted. Below is the procedure for doing this:

It's probably best to modify the PCFS log on pcfsyg, then follow the usual end-of-experiment procedure. This way the log file will be the same on pcfsyg, ops2, and on the IVS servers. The procedure below uses the experiment r4750 as an example:

1. Identify the start date of the experiment. There's a separate log of weather for every UT day, so you'll need to retrieve the log for the start day as well as the following day. In the case of R4750, the start date was July 28 (day 210) at 18:30 UT, so we need logs from July 28 and 29.
2. Once the experiment is complete, open a terminal on pcfsyg

3. cd /usr2/log/wx2

4. The weather data are on an sftp server at Yg. Use the usual observer password. The file naming format is mets_<yyyy>_<mm>_<dd>.dat so we want mets_2016_07_28.dat and mets_2016_07_29.dat

   sftp -oPort=26 observer@59.167.111.242
   cd metdata
   dir
   get mets_2016_07_28.dat
   get mets_2016_07_29.dat
   quit

5. The weather data files now need to be converted to the correct format for a PCFS log

   strings mets_2016_08_05.dat | awk '{printf "%s.%03d.%02d:%02d:00.00/wx/%.2f,%.2f,%.1f\n",$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$8,$7}'
