- 202: Radiation, Site base, Thu 10-Feb-2000 11:25:28 MST, Pyrgeometer configuration in CASES99
The ten pyrgeoemeters used during CASES99 were set out in two configurations:
the intercomparison with the pigs mounted side-by side, all up-looking,
the measurement with the pigs dispersed to their specific location;
two up-looking at 50m on the tower boom,
two down-looking at 50 m on the tower boom,
two uplooking at 2m, one at station 1, one at station 2,
four down-looking at 2m, one at station 1, one at station 2,
one at station 3 and one at station 5.
The parameter identifications corresponding to these two configurations are:

At first we had Datel #440690 in this adam. It would work for
about 1/2 hour and then the A/D data (Tbox.cosmos) would quit.
Saw HSTSTA errors on console once.
Datel #440690 was in daisy in the field.
Swapped in Datel #400190 which was in cosmos in the field.
The adam failed twice over the weekend in this configuration.
(I mxreset it from home once).
On Monday am (10:00 MST) I plugged the adam's power cable into
a different socket on bottom of the power conditioning box.
At 15:30 MST Monday, replaced coax network cable. The collision
light on cosmos' transceiver was flickering constantly. Jiggling
the coax connector at the adam end would stop the collisions.

NOTE!
The campbell loggers on the PAM stations transmit at 1200 baud.
They were set this way in the field at CASES99 after the
intercomparison period.
- 190: LOG, Site base, Sat 30-Oct-1999 10:48:29 CDT, End of Operations
The end of operations came earlier than we had planned. A significant rain event caused the communications to go down. After talking to Bill Blumen, he said the official end of operations occured 10/30 at 8:00 a.m. We brought up the system in order to archive and shut down the proper way
- 132: ADAMS, Site base, Mon 18-Oct-1999 10:19:11 CDT, Rebooted cosmos, ragwort, PAM station ingest
Rebooted cosmos and ragwort at 15:18 GMT in order to properly restart
covars.
Also stopped and restartd serial ingest of PAM data on toucan at
15:20 GMT for the same reason.
- 131: BaseSystems, Site base, Mon 18-Oct-1999 09:00:07 CDT, Covars not running
The covars quit around 17:25 CDT Oct 17. Those for daisy and marigold
were restarted following the hangup with Clover, but the others were not
restarted until 0900 CDT oct 18.
- 127: BaseSystems, Site base, Sun 17-Oct-1999 19:20:51 CDT, CLOVER crash
While Tom and I were installing the CO2 sensor at 20 meters,
clover suffered a crash. Dave Miller was taking credit for it!
I had to power cycle clover to get it going again. This crash
also shutdown the archiving of blazing data. After a short conversation
with Gordon, marigold and daisy were mxreset to get things going again.

General:
- We have rebalanced the AC power load in our trailer and shouldn't suffer
from further circuit breaker outages.
- We still saw bad signals on stn2 Rpile yesterday, but a cable swap appears
to have solved it for now.
Notes:
"up" - Deployed and transmitting data, but quality of operation has not
been checked.
"ok" - Data appear to be reasonable
BAD - CO2 and H2O signals at 20m are noisy, though the average values are now
reasonable. We plan to remove this sensor and send it to ATDD soon.
- The soil heat flux data from stn1 is too large. I tightened a loose
connection in the CR10 yesterday, but this didn't appear to help.
RH - RH values from 15m are low by about 2%, despite replacement of the
fan yesterday. We could replace this sensor with a spare.
[Nap] - We're still waiting for Carmen to connect stn4 to us.
- 91: BaseSystems, Site base, Tue 12-Oct-1999 22:03:23 CDT, writing CDs
We write 4 CDs a day:
stns ~360 Mbytes
tower ~350 Mbytes
film 00:00-12:00 ~550 Mbytes
film 12:00-24:00 ~550 Mbytes
total ~1720 Mbytes/day
The archive hard disk is /data/archive/projects/CASES99/raw_data,
an internal disk on cocklebur, which is 8 Gb.
To write a CD, find a cocklebur window, and
put a new CD into the CD-R drive on top of cocklebur
Execute one of the scripts, passing the month number (10=october, duh)
and the day of the month:
bkcd.stns mon day
bkcd.tower mon day
first half day of hotfilm data:
bkcd.film mon day 0 12
last half day:
bkcd.film mon day 12 24
This script moves files for that day to the "cdbackup" directory,
and then writes them to the CD.
IF IT SUCCEEDS, IT DELETES FILES FROM THE HARD DISK, so don't
damage the CD. That's your only archive.
The label is then sent to the printer.
Wait for the manual feed light to appear before inserting a label
sheet. Slide the label sheet into the manual feed slot on
the back of the printer, until it stops, label side toward you,
with an unprinted label in the lower right hand corner.
After it prints, peel the label of and put it, sticky side up,
in the CD Stomper. Put the CD, LABEL SIDE DOWN, DATA SIDE UP!!!!
over the spindle. Anybody who puts the label on the wrong side of
a CD must stay an extra week!!!!
Put the CD in a sleeve, and stick the narrow label on a strip of
perforated paper and slide it into the top slot of the sleeve (use
the black plastic thingy).
The log of the CD writing is written to $ASTER/projects/CASES99/cdlogs.
Don't write directly on the CD with any pen - reportedly the ink
can leach through and damage the substrate.
- 90: BaseSystems, Site base, Tue 12-Oct-1999 21:47:11 CDT, Hotwire archive
A day's hotwire data is 5.0 Gig.
The hotwire files are on
/data/blaze/aster/projects/CASES99/raw_data/hw
This is an 18 gig disk, so we can hold 3.5 days. To avoid
running out of space you should archive yesterday's files
each day.
To archive a day's data to disk:
Log onto clover
Insert a new tape into clover's exabyte, then enter:
blaze2Tape 0 mon day
where mon and day are the month and day to be written to tape.
blaze2Tape takes about 2 hours or so to complete. It will also delete the
files of (day-1) if they were previously written to tape.
The blaze2Tape log files and tape listings are on:
$ASTER/projects/CASES99/blazelists
If you experience tape errors,
insert a "premium" cleaning tape into the drive
restart the day's archive by deleting the 2 log files for
that day on $ASTER/projects/CASES99/blazelists,
and restarting from the beginning of a tape.
- 87: ADAMS, Site base, Tue 12-Oct-1999 16:49:47 CDT, How to restart adams & eves
Bring up the console window on ASTER so you can watch the adam/eve bootup
messages.
ping cosmos
If it is alive, you can probably bring it up with mxreset:
mxreset cosmos
Otherwise you will have to power cycle it.
In the console window you should see:
Oct 12 16:52:03 cosmos System reset!
Oct 12 16:52:29 cosmos adatsSock SO_SNDBUF len=4096
Oct 12 16:52:29 cosmos adatsSock SO_SNlast message repeated 1 time
Oct 12 16:52:30 aster cosmos[753]: cosmos Beginning connection on port 1030
Oct 12 16:52:31 cosmos cosmos booted
Oct 12 16:52:35 aster cosmos[753]: cosmos STREAM socket connected to aster:33008, 1 active connections
etc...etc...
Then do the same for daisy,marigold,ragwort.
If an adam is pingable, but mxreset does not work from ASTER, then try:
rlogin cosmos
VxWorks login: aster
Password: asterize
-> mxreset
To restart the PAM ingest processes, log into toucan, and do:
sio_shutdown -s
This should kill 'em all. If curious, check:
ps -ef | fgrep stn
If things are OK, then restart them with:
serial_ingest -z

6 ok ok ok - - ok ok ok -
General:
- An overloaded circuit in our trailer caused power outages through the night.
We will map out the circuits today to fix this.
- Resolution changed on all 10m kryptons, so we are now able to see smaller
fluctutations. We changed to "ops2" in the beginning of IOP5.
- The sonic at 55m was dead through this IOP. We cycled power this morning
which revived it. (We should have done this last night.)
- I don't see noise on the stn6 krypton now. This may be due to changing
this station's config not to sample pp.
- We saw a bad signal on stn2 Rpile yesterday, but it appears to be ok now.
Notes:
"up" - Deployed and transmitting data, but quality of operation has not
been checked.
"ok" - Data appear to be reasonable
BAD - CO2 and H2O signals at 20m are noisy, though the average values are now
reasonable. Dave Auble found some questionable connections which he
tightened yesterday.
- The soil heat flux data from stn1 is too large - probably a bad
connection in the CR10.
WET - As usual, the CSAT sonic anemometers spike when wet.
[Nap] - Carmen Nappo (NOAA/ATDD) sensors are operating and are now connected to
EVEs at stns 1 and 5. He hasn't provided a cable to connect to
stn4 yet. Our resolution on this signal is about 5 ubars, which may
be too coarse in some cases (but this is the best we can do).

- We replaced the sonic at 10m
Notes:
"up" - Deployed and transmitting data, but quality of operation has not
been checked.
"ok" - Data appear to be reasonable
BAD - CO2 signal at 20m sometimes is noisy and/or goes offscale. The H2O
signal from this sensor sometimes is bad also. We plan to
bring this sensor down and have Dave Auble look at it in a day or two.
- Krypton hygrometer at stn6 has some spikes which do not appear in data
from the other stations. Cleaning did not change this.
- The soil heat flux data from stn1 is too large - probably a bad

may be installed today.
[IC] - Pyrgeometer intercomparison using all CR10 loggers currently set up
about 35m S of 55m tower. Sensors and loggers will be reconfigured
once we are satisfied that the data from these sensors compare well.
Since the results appear to shift with time, Jielun and I agree that
more cases are necessary. I cleaned the domes last night which may
provide some insight.
[Nap] - Carmen Nappo (NOAA/ATDD) is still installing. These sensors will be
cabled into EVEs at stations 1, 4 and 5.
SPIKES - ati.40m has lots of spikes in high winds. I need to call Gary Z. to
figure out how to increase the transucer gain.
DOWN - T/RH on stn2 not transmitting - a recurring problem which needs to be
solved. Also prop died (perhaps after I played with the cable last
night).
Ragwort has recurring problem with crashes.

The other is in hand, but is missing an AC power cable (but we may just
plug this into DC anyway)
[Mill] - Dave Miller (Univ. Conn.) is set up except for his 1.5m sonic. This
was awaiting a part which arrived yesterday, so should be up today.
[Nap] - Carmen Nappo (NOAA/ATDD) did most installation yesterday - we need
to be sure that these sensors are cabled into EVE. Should be up today.

Cosmos was left switched off last night. It is up now.
Ragwort has recurring problem with crashes. We're in the middle of
board swaps to fix.
- 35: PAM-EVE, Site base, Wed 29-Sep-1999 13:10:10 CDT, PAM station Configuration Summary
The following configurations are available on ASTER
in /home/pam/config and individual station-ready versions
in /home/pam/projects/CASES99/sta_cfg.
On the Rocky they are located in:

Summary:
fmt0070 - Used during testing only, not for ops.
includes sync10 and despike and handy for attempts
to work on reboot eve code because with 20hz ati,
a/d and fastout this is good for locking up some
stations.
fmt0071 - Initial implementation includes data storage to
both ramdisk and /card
fmt0072 - Same as 71, except the logger is not included.
use for stations 4,6
fmt0073 - Primary Config, stations 1,2,3,5
Basically same as 71 except uses 'cardcopy' feature
available with eve prom 990926 which does a 1/day
card copy instead of writing to it every 5-minutes
fmt0074 - Primary Config, stations 4,6
Same as 73 except no logger.
fmt0075 - Backup contingency if EVE slogs down.
Minimal config. does not have local data storage.
IE Do Not Use this if the fastout port to aster and
archiving is questionable, down, etc.!!
fmt0076 - same as 75 but no logger
Krypton Declaration Files:
Two different PAM config files for each krypton hygrometer have
been created. One each for sampling with the delta-pressure sensor
and one for sampling the krypton alone. The calibrations are
based on data from Campbell full range, normal conditions.
The files are called 'kryp13xx.dat' for sensors 1389-1395
Declaration files are found in directories:
Without Delta Pressure: for stations 1,2,3:
On Rocky c:\pam\cases99\krypton\no_dp\
On aster /home/pam/projects/CASES99/sta_cfg/krypton/no_dp
With Delta P included for stations 4,5,6
On Rocky c:\pam\cases99\krypton\with_dp\
On aster /home/pam/projects/CASES99/sta_cfg/krypton/with_dp

DOWN - 40m ATI was spiking yesterday, so we removed it. We swapped stn4's
ATI with our spare UW to have another ATI to swap back in. I added
the hotwire mount to this, but both ATIs are now in the lab. (It was
too wet to climb today.)
