Monitoring Gamma Radiation

The Neighborhood Environmental Watch Network, known as NEWNET, is able to give early indications of increases in radiation due to radioactive particulates in the air.

7/18/2001Orval HartSensor rotation was performed from 7/10 21:38Z to 7/11 02:23Z. Relative humidity electronics not working properly, so the original electronics board was re-used.Station InfoData Graph
4/16/2001Connon OdomToday's 0523Z transmissison was not received.Station InfoData Graph
4/11/2001Connon OdomThe Gamma radiation and BaroP data are becoming noisy.Station InfoData Graph
3/19/2001Connon OdomThis station had been removed from the NEWNET WebSite due to lack of funding. Data transmitted by the station continued to be collected and archived without monitoring and data QA analysis. Funds have recently been made available to resume monitoring and reporting on data QA and displaying the data.Station InfoData Graph
1/4/2001Connon OdomToday's 8.6 µR/Hr Gamma radiation spike at 0138Z was coincident with spikes in the BaroP and RelHum data, indicating a common system noise source.Station InfoData Graph
1/3/2001Connon OdomThe 19.1 µR/Hr Gamma radiation spike on 26 Dec at 0038Z was coincident with spikes in the BaroP and RelHum data, indicating a common system noise source.Station InfoData Graph
8/22/2000Connon OdomThe 1723Z transmission on 17 Aug contained 5 errors due to a problem with the GOES satellite link. Gamma radiation data is OK except for the 1553Z data point. Invalid data is indicated by "******" in the data listing.Station InfoData Graph
8/9/2000Connon OdomThe 9.0 µr/Hr Gamma radiation spike on 8 Aug at 1053Z was coincident with a spike in the BaroP data, indicating a common system noise source.Station InfoData Graph
8/3/2000Connon OdomMaintenance was performed on 30 Jul. All met sensors were replaced and the station was restarted at about 0100 on 1 Aug. The PIC was replaced at about 1840Z on 2 Aug. This PIC failed and was replaced at about 2305Z on 2 Aug. The current PIC has been providing good Gamma radiation data since 2323Z on 2 Aug.Station InfoData Graph
