All fast-response hygrometers are now working, and are

OTHER:
At Gordon's suggestions, we have swapped the worksations
"platypus" and "cocklebur", so that the somewhat faster
platypus now handles all network connections. It will
need to be rebooted (tomorrow) to put it in a final
configuration. Hopefully, this will solve some of the
crashes we've had, though there still were some crashes
last night through platypus. We also have raised the
freewave antenna on cosmos in an attempt to avoid
radio interference.
Gordon's new way to read the merged PAM and ASTER data
files works, and I have converted about 2/3 of the
daily plot routines to use it. Now all we need is the
actual files with the data! (Apparently, the original
attempt to do this took longer than real-time, so the
processing eventually crashed. Gordon is rewriting it
to be faster.)
- 101: STATUS, Site all, Fri 25-Apr-1997 15:52:02 GMT, Daily status
HIGHLIGHTS: All sensors now up except for 2 soil sensor installations.
All fast-response hygrometers are now working, though
the ones on PAM are bagged for protection from precip.
A new type of ASTER data system crash has occurred, we're
trying to diagnose it.
The PAM data feed through GOES was lost yesterday due to
snow in Boulder. We have alternate ways of recovering these
data, but they are not available for this report.
WEATHER: High, thin overcast (ceiling 3200m), light winds, surface dry
IOP: No IOP today or through the weekend (due to a slowly-moving
storm now centered in Nevada which should bring precip).

may recommend a reconfiguration of the workstations.
Possibly related network problems caused us to lose data
from #7 for most of yesterday. (It had been working so
well that we forgot to monitor this until today.)

due to a bad pump.

the crashes. We have had no unexplained crashes since
removing this pump.

OTHER:
We have had lots of crashes with aster data system for
site #7, cosmos, both during the day and every morning
before we arrive. The data system for #8, marigold,
has worked flawlessly (over a longer radio path), so we
don't think that software or communications are the
problem. We suspect that AC power to #7 is the culprit,
and have measured voltages as low as 77 VAC (should be
120 VAC) at the site during periods when the air conditioners
at the base trailer are on. [The site #7 towers are powered
from the base trailer.] We have shut the air conditioners
off, but are looking at other solutions. We probably will
put a UPS on the power line for this site.

location (will do today) while waiting for replacement electronics

Sonic #3 (ATI) u-component has been spiking - adjustments yesterday
didn't help. We'll install the despiking algorithm on it (and
the other ATIs soon).
Fast q Krypton hygrometers at #1-6 are bagged to prevent damage.
Bad data from OPHIR at #7 have been fixed by a simple despiker
in its calibration routine - Chris Fairall says this is needed
sometimes. Power cord for OPHIR at #8 should be in today.

concluded that we should plan on utilizing our manual TRIME
measurements to calibrate these probes.

ETI and MRI gauges.
