5. Send the data to the team office through email. As soon as the data has been retrieved
from the field and converted to a readable format they should be sent to the TEAM
Network office

for review. If any problems are identified with the data the site manager
will be informed. Otherwise, data should continue to be recorded and retrieved from the
field.
Note: More instructions about testing the station can be found by watching the video called
“Testing the sensors and data collection program” on the TEAM portal in the Climate Protocol
section (http://www.teamnetwork.org/en/protocols/threat/climate).
3.20 Managing Sensors
Forms needed:
• Completed Sensor Installation/Calibration Form
• Completed Climate Maintenance Form
In order to keep track of the sensors that are currently installed, there is a Sensor Management
tab in the Climate Metadata section of the Data Management Tool (Products>Data>Data
Management>Climate Metadata Tab>Sensor Management Tab). This tab contains information
about how many sensors are currently installed, who installed them, and how long they have
been running. YOU MUST UPDATE THIS TAB ANY TIME A SENSOR IS INSTALLED,
REMOVED, OR CALIBRATED.
Update sensor information: When finished installing sensors in the field, follow the
instructions below to update the information in the Data Management Tool.
a) Navigate to the Data Management Tool by holding the mouse over the “Products”
link, then over the “Data” link. Select “Data Management” from the menu.
b) Using the arrows on the right side of the screen find and click on the “Climate
Metadata” tab.
c) Choose your site and click “Go.”
d) Click on the “Sensor Management” tab at the bottom of the screen.
e) Since all the equipment should already be registered through the Site Management
Tool, all climate sensors owned by the site should appear on this tab and have a
“Ready to Use” status. If no sensors appear in the “Sensor Management” tab, see
Step 2 of the Climate Data Management Tool Help (Appendix A.7) and register the
equipment now.
f) Update each sensor’s status by double-clicking in the “Status” column area next to
the desired sensor.
g) In the drop down menu, choose “Installed” for the sensors that are currently recording
data and enter the required information in the window that appears. Click “Submit”
h) Repeat steps f) and g) until all active sensors are identified as “Installed.”

In the future this process will be replaced by direct upload to the TEAM Network portal
through a data ingestion system. Currently send data via email to Eric Fegraus
