NOAA SEARCH *226j Noticed @ 18:51z that the anemometer on SEARCH scaffolding was not registering a wind speed since ~18:00z, though other anemometers were. Also, this anemometer was still registering a wind direction that constantly was changing (and matched other anemometers), so possibly it was a wiring issue between the anemometer and datalogger. The problem resolved itself on 227j @ ~09:00z. NOAA ETL OFF NOAA All-Sky Camera O.K.
