374: trh, Site all, Tue 13-Nov-2007 15:08:53 MST, details for TRH S/N 101 and S/N 502
The chronology of the S/N101 and S/N 502 TRH sensors for CHATS is below.  
Also see logbook entry 128.  These two sensors were both determined to 
require empirical corrections as described here:

 ------------------------------------------
 Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2007 12:37:24 -0600
 From: Tom Horst 
 To: Sean Burns 

 Sean:

 I think that the original TRH at 6m was S/N 502, which we confirmed in 
 the lab had an error of -0.3133 C.  Since we confirmed this error in the 
 lab, we should add an offset of 0.3133 from Mar 17 until Mar 21.  Note 
 that this is an unusual circumstance where we know the magnitude and 
 duration of an error.

 A similar correction can be made to S/N 101 which was on the horizontal 
 array (upper) and was found in the lab to have an offset error of -0.099C.
 Thus an offset of 0.099 should be added to the data for this sensor.

          [details of the location of S/N 101 are below]

 --------------------------------------------

Chronology of sensors:

----------------S/N 101:

 - started on horiz array (upper position)

 - on 4/3 at 14:30 PDT, sn101 removed from ha/upper
   and replaced with sn206 (LOG 93)

 - on 4/3 between 16:30-17:30 PDT, sn101 back in at
    ha upper position.(LOG 93)

 - on 4/3 at 18:00 PDT, sn101 moved to 6m on vt (LOG 93)

 - on 4/12 sn101 at 6m replaced with TRH sn502 fresh from recal 
   in Boulder, sn101 now becomes "spare" sensor (LOG 145)

 - on 5/2, sn101 was recalibrated in BOULDER.  
   (after this date correction is no longer necessary)

 - on 5/11 sn101 was put in at 14m (LOG 189)

 - sn101 stayed at 14m for the rest of the experiment.

---------------S/N 502:

 - started on vertical tower at 6m (LOG 128)

 - on 3/21, sn502 at 6m replaced with sn206 (LOG 31)

 - on 3/23, between 11:30-16:50 PDT, sn502 was put on the vertical tower 
            at 1.5m to test the humidity profile.  

 - on 4/9, sn502 was recalibrated in Boulder/NCAR.
   (after this date correction is no longer necessary)

 - on 4/12 sn502 deployed on vt at 6m (LOG 145)

 - on 5/22 sn502 was moved up to 7.5m (LOG 280)


   


373: sonic, Site 30m tower, Mon 25-Jun-2007 10:09:59 MDT, Height of 14 m sonic
During teardown, on June 11, we took a measurement of top of the 14m boom.  
It was actually located 14.15m (to the top of the uppermost wood block).  

Yes, the 14m boom was moved.  Steve and I moved it early in Phase
1 when we were installing the triple hot-films for the first time.
There were no more sliding mounts, and 14m happened to be immediately
below a point where the guy wires attached to the tower.  So, the guy
wires blocked our ability to raise the boom on the rotating/lifting style
mounts.  We decided at that time to shift the boom up to immediately
above the point where the guy wire attached to the tower.  When we
were dismantling the tower, I had the thought that we might not have
measured the associated height change.  So, before Chris removed that
boom, Steve and I brought the tape up to him for a quick measurement.

So the 14m boom was at this new height for most of the campaign.
The date that it actually changed should be in the log book, i.e. the
day that Steve and I finally got the hot-films installed.


Logbook Entry #60:

Deployed hot films late Saturday afternoon, 3/25 07:07 GMT.

371: whatever, Site 30m tower, Fri 22-Jun-2007 12:01:44 MDT, sensor serial numbers, 30 m tower
Here's the list of the serial numbers of the instruments as we took them
off the 30m tower.  

Also, we took a measurement of top of the 14m boom.  It was actually
located 14.15m (to the top of the uppermost wood block).  I think we
should enter this too.

Thanks,

Ned

Pressure port height = (2.38+2.455)/2 = 2.42 m.  It is 67 cm north of sonics
9b & 9t.
352: whatever, Site 30m tower, Wed 06-Jun-2007 15:53:26 PDT, Removed ACD CPC instrument from vertical tower
Removed CDC instrument from  30 m tower this morning.
351: trh, Site horizontal array, Wed 06-Jun-2007 12:56:39 PDT, Upper TRH on array dead
The upper TRH (/dev/ttyS15 at west) died during the array lowering
at around 10;50 LT.

The lower TRH (TRH704) works in port 15, so the problem must
be in the cable or the TRH.  Ned pulled the TRH out of
the boom and reseated the connected, but still nothing.

Will work on it in the base trailer.

4:25-4:35: Replaced with TRH 004 from 3 m level on vertical tower

350: infrastructure, Site horizontal array, Wed 06-Jun-2007 12:52:36 PDT, Lowered array to low position
Lowered sonc array to 2,3 m position from 9:15 - 9:36, June 6.
Moved TRH's to lower positions, finishing at 10 am

Sonic boom heights on east = 2.94 and 1.93 m; on west = 2.95 & 3.95 m
TRH boom heights = 2.46 & 3.45 m.

345: infrastructure, Site 30m tower, Tue 05-Jun-2007 12:01:10 PDT, fuse blown on tower transformer
Power to the ACD trailer, WSU shack and the tower died
during the night.  According to WSU's data it died
at 1:30 am local time.

The ISFF data systems and sensors continued to run - 12 V batteries kept 
things going (did not check their voltage).

Power to the main switch was OK, but no voltage at the breaker
panel.  Eventually found a blown fuse - one of the two fuses
on the black Dynatech (sp?) black box mounted on the inside of the
wall from the main power input.  It is a 30A slow-blow.
Kurt says the black box is a surge suppressor.

Replaced the fuse and brought everything back up, with the
exception of the CPC counter, which is disconnected.

Power draw at the transformer breaker box is now:

1 leftmost   ACD west + WSU small pump + WSU sys (14-17A)
2 next       30m tower (2A)
3 next:      WSU big pump (7A)
4 rightmost: ACD north + lights (12-14A)


circuits 1 & 2 are on one leg, and 3 & 4 are on the other.

Measured the draw on each leg:

1+2:  16-19A
3+4:  19-21A

Things were back up at about  11:00 with a full load (without CPC).









344: infrastructure, Site 30m tower, Tue 05-Jun-2007 11:46:55 PDT, power to WSU SF6

WSU requirements (120V):

big pump: 7A
little pump: 3A
other:  3A


The 120V breakers, from left to right, on the white transformer
(da big one) at the tower, control these circuits:

1 leftmost    ACD west (11-13A)
2 next       30m tower (2A)
3 next:      for WSU
4 rightmost: ACD north + lights + CPC(12A)

We put WSU's big pump on #3 (the one labeled WSU)
and added their small pump and systems to the ACD west circuit.

It ran for several hours, then died during the night, see subsequent
entry...

335: pressure, Site horizontal array, Sun 03-Jun-2007 12:41:20 PDT, fast pressure
Looked at power spectra of fast p this morning and decided that the differences
seen between the vertical tower and the horizontal array are due to 
the differences in resolution of the plots of the two variables which have 
different units (mb and volts).  The differences in resolution are caused by 
lack of low frequency response of the usfs pressure system which gives a 
higher resolution in the plot.

Update 1jun07:   Rewired in 20A breaker for WSU when they come

	Main breaker in transformer distribution panel = 30A 240VAC
	leg1 = ~ 12.5@120ACD + ~2.5@120Tower	= 15A
	leg2 = ~ 11-14A@120ACD			= 14A

	leg2 will have WSU load, what ever that is.   It is on
	the 2nd 20A half of the breaker serving ACD's 'lights.'

	Built adaptor cable for an extension cable for them.
	Gordon, Tom know that their load needs to be measured
	and if significant, we prefer some be put on the 'leg1'
	distribution in the ACD trailer to balance the loads.
	Andreas' CPC can be taken down if capacity is needed

325: leaf area index, Site all, Thu 31-May-2007 19:46:12 PDT, LAI profile
File 41 starts at East tower at 6:02 PM.  Ends at 6:22 PM on 5/31/2007.

File 42 starts at West tower at 6:38 PM.  Ends at 6:53 PM.  Last value
is at 1 m height. That is, it seems I did one level too many coming down the 
tower.  The problem seems to be that as I descended from 6 m to 5 m, it seemed 
that there was a marker missing at 5 m.  That is, the next mark below 6 m 
seemed to be 2 m lower, so I took a reading between the two marks, thinking thatthe mark at 5 m may have been rubbed out. I still don't know how this could 
have happened, but I'm pretty sure that that is where the problem occurred.

On 6/01/07 I returned to the W tower and rechecked the markings on the tower.
There is no marking at the 5 m level; the markings at 4 and 6 m are there.  So,
what I did last night seemed to have been the correct strategy. That is, I
interpolated between 4 and 6 m and took a reading at 5 m.  So, I am now at a 
loss as to where the extra reading occurred.  Perhaps the read button was 
accidentally pushed while traversing the tower.    

File 43 starts at N tower at 7:11 PM.  Ends at 7:34 PM. 
Sonic at 6 m level has more blockage than sonic at 7.5 m.  The sonic at
7.5 m is almost free of the canopy for a considerable distance upwind.
There's some branches to the S, but for a S wind, the flow does not have
a lot of restriction. In contrast, at 7.5 m, there's blockage a meter or
so upwind by branches.

324: whatever, Site 30m tower, Thu 31-May-2007 18:41:37 PDT, Scintillometer electronics removed: tower climbed
31may07  tower climbed 11:42-12:18

Removed scintillometer electronics box.
Because of favorable winds, and I didn't want Don L.
to have to tail the heavier more awkward optics sensing
head, we decided to leave it on the tower until another
day.
323: rad_soil, Site 30m tower, Thu 31-May-2007 18:38:23 PDT, tower rad cleaned again: tower climbed
31may07  tower climbed 11:42-12:18

~12:10 cleaned the 4-comp radiometers.  I had done this yesterday but
was unable to reach the down looking longwave.   Decided to re-clean
all today.   There was no dirt evident on any of the 4 sensors.
322: rad_soil, Site 30m tower, Thu 31-May-2007 11:06:12 PDT, rad stand battery swap
The rad stand battery was swapped.   The one removed was at ~12.1.

Trime Measurements:
'embedded-probes' = 31.6%	15-TDR
'temporary-probe' = 23.3%	15-TDR

Gravimetric sample, and 'temporary trime' probe sample, were from closer
to where our installed sensors are.   This area visually appeared more
representative of the surface moisture level than where the 'embedded-trime'
probes are where the top looks dry.

Note: The 0-3cm sample was not a perfect volumetric fit in the disk.
A sliver on top wasn't filled so thus the noticable difference in weights.









320: rad_soil, Site 30m tower, Wed 30-May-2007 17:51:47 PDT, rad cleaning
30may07 

12:30-12:38 LT the sawhorse radiometers were cleaned.
	Note there was quite a bit of filth on the uplooking
	sensors, especially the rnet.

15:20-15:35 LT tower climbed and 4-comp rad cleaned as
	best i could.   There wasn't a significant amount
	of dirt.
	Note I was unable to reach the outside, downlooking
	long-wave without an extension.

	Today we were having good south winds so decided
	to not go back up the tower.
319: pressure, Site horizontal array, Wed 30-May-2007 17:37:03 PDT, p' sensor hose hooked up on array umbilical cord, climbing array
We placed the p' sensor and hose today on the narrow, high array. It is located
~ 2cm west of the 9b and 9t booms and ~ 50cm to the north of the sonic centroid.
The p' sensor is located at the midpoint between the sonics - by eye.

This will need to be measured when in the low position (using the ladder
perhaps).

Array climbing and p' apparatus manipulation/install began at 1212LT and
p' then became 'good' at 1500LT.


318: trh, Site horizontal array, Wed 30-May-2007 17:35:04 PDT, Fan replaced in TRH.array.top
30may07  15:40 ... 16:42 Center tower TRH fan


The noisy fan in TRH.top.array was replaced between 1540 and 16450LT.
After moving to narrow, and raising the array yesterday, we observed that
this fan became noisy.   Today after installing the pressure port on the
array, this little devil began to really complain, so at about 15:40 we
took it down to swap in the best available fan we could find.

Note: once apart, it was apparent that the fan blades had come off
and were in the rather dusty exhaust tube.
This may have happened during the move yesterday because the fan had
appeared ok, and Greg hadn't seen any issues in the data.

By 16:40 the sensor was back up with a good fan.


317: leaf area index, Site all, Wed 30-May-2007 11:44:01 PDT, demo

314: sonic, Site horizontal array, Tue 29-May-2007 20:26:21 PDT, narrow configuration measurements - 2b-3b are 51cm apart all others near 50cm
We measured the distance between the yokes in the new, narrow configuration.
All yokes were placed correctly and accurately centered within the tape markers
from phase I.

All yokes were separated by 50cm +-3mm EXCEPT the distance between yokes
2b and 3b were found to be 50.8mm. We believe this was a measurement error
during Phase I and decided to leave it in place for Phase-to-Phase consistency 
(discussion among Lenschow, Patton, Poulos).
313: data system, Site all, Tue 29-May-2007 20:21:19 PDT, change pocketecs in hfarray and east
hfarray and east were changed out today during the array narrowing. These
were at fairly high disk fill status. Ptec#5 came out of 'east' (replaced by
#6).Ptec#11 came out of hfarray (replaced #1).


312: infrastructure, Site horizontal array, Tue 29-May-2007 09:08:07 PDT, Array shutdown and narrowed, brought up in 'high, narrow' (9.6, 10.6) position.
adn east and west at 0909LT. Systems halted as well.

Array narrowing procedure began at 0910LT. (Patton, Militzer, Poulos, Lenschow)
Hotfilms removed.
p' mounted on array in umbilical.
At or a few minutes after 1648LT first powered up east, west and hfarray.
Checked data_stats at 1700.
All look good (good data rates and all sensors present).
Rate of file growth is correct (heading for isff_ 4 hrly files of ~852Mb).

Plotting of raw data from array ...
Sonics - Look fine, 5 min avg, high-rate, spectra
Kryptons - ditto
Licors - ditto
T/RHs - T/RH.top fan is 'chattering' will eval tomorrow
p' - need longer second arm - will put up tomorrow after visit to hardware

Winds 'locked in' good wind direction ~ 1900LT and the array was up at that 
time (in place in 'high' position.

high.xml implemented, with new times and configs.xml updated. server ands
statsproc restarted.

6/3/07
Ned reports that a diagonal bar was placed on the horizontal array from the
head of sonic 5b to the yoke location of sonic 5t to reduce the sag of 
the lower horizontal line of sonics.

309: rad_soil, Site 30m tower, Mon 28-May-2007 18:35:26 PDT, Par sensors installed, tower climbed, restart lower data system
28may07	16:00-18:00 LT tower climbed

PAR sensor installed
Lower data sys re-start (adn/aup) 1834-1835LT.
PAR data incoming.on lower ttyS19 (low.xml only)
low.xml is changed on aster but not run through new ops yet.

The ACD Apogee PAR sensors and Licor LI190 were installed
at levels: 2.5m, 5m, 8m, 11.5m (licor).
The 2.5m sensor is 'in the clear' at the bottom of the canopy,
the 5m sensor is actually inside some branches, while the
8m is at the top of the canopy and will have minimal shading.
The licor is above the canopy.
I hand leveled the sensors as best possible.

NOTE Re Calibrations:
The nominal calibration provided by Apogee was clearly not
consistent with the observed test.   The pars have a potentiometer
inside the sensor which is factory adjusted to uniform setting
of 5.0umol/(s m^2) per mV.       

A POST-PROJECT 'CALIBRATION' RUN SHOULD BE DONE to improve
upon and verfily what was done prior to putting them on the tower:

-------------------------------------------------------------

The Test run on 27may07 consisted of mote output from the par strings,
with the following output.   Note that the naming here is equivalent to
what we put up on the tower.

NOTE Re Cleaning:
	I did not do any special cleaning before this test. 
	The intention was to get it out to see 'order of magnitude'
	so that we could decide whether to proceed on the tower or not
	The Apogee 'quantum' manual for the LQS50-6 does not mention
	what to use.   They had appeared clean visually.
	After the test and before putting on the tower I did clean
	with distilled h2o because there was some dust on them from
	overnight and 'car' traffic.

DATA FILES:  RAW

EXCEL FILES:

	These guys are the raw data with some graphs added.
	In the second worksheet of 'day1-1' is a crude 'scalar'
	that can be used to semi-normalize the data to allow you
	a relative micromol/(s m^2) level based upon the voltages
	output and read by the pars.
	Clearly there is a slight shift in the 'scalars' through
	the day.   The average multiplier to normalize the licor
	voltage to the wand readings for the day is shown below,
	plus the 'calibration' into micro-mols / (s M^2)

	Simplistic GAIN
	PAR.11.5m =	PAR4, licor, * 263.635213   = micro-mols
	PAR.8m    = PAR3 / 40.9949 * 263.635213 = micro-mols (* 6.430927)

	PAR.2.5m  = PAR1 / 43.8834 * 263.635213 = micro-mols (* 6.007630)

	From the 'Night' file a nominal dc-voltage-offset is shown below.

	Simple OFFSET
	PAR.11.5m = PAR4 = .000317	(adc0-1)
	PAR.8m    = PAR3 = .000947	(adc0-2)

Sonic boom elevation angles 1100-1330LT - low wide position
--------------------------- -----------
The theodolite was aligned carefully with boom 4b. It was placed where we could
see all of the sonics where the struts join the box (the box with the sloped 
faces, where these measurements were made last time). The theodolite was then 
brought to dead level (elev angle of 90 degrees). 
Height of theodolite in this position: 1.58m agl (measured twice).
Height on sonic/LiCor apparatus: 1.632m (metallic fastener, bottom)

(NOTE: This indicates a 5cm increase in the height of the ground at the
theodolite location relative to the earth immediately below the sonic. This is 
sensible be cause of the larger amount of walking activity at the sonic, and
we note pooling of water during sprinkling near the sonics.)

Distance from theodolite to the sonic centroid is: 9.842m 

(NOTE: We measured 10.3m north to vertical post on Licor mount post and 0.458m
back south to the sonic centroid. 10.3m was at the dead level position of the
theodolite targeted to the metallic piece on the sonic/Licor apparatus)

Based on additional measurement in the vertical of 0.318m to sonic centroid from

306: software, Site all, Sun 27-May-2007 17:21:29 PDT, Updated for ops9 (low, wide position)
Modified configs.xml for the new low, wide position (per logbook 291).
2m/3m 1.72m spacing. V.azimuth not altered yet.
305: kh2o, Site 30m tower, Sun 27-May-2007 10:57:17 PDT, Changed electronics box of k.14m - tower climb, and other activity
Electronics box S/N 1392 put in for krypton at 14m on tower. S/N 1393 taken out.
We believe this will steady the performance of k.14m (which has been flakey
at regular intervals).

Tower climb began 1118LT and end 1152LT.

The krypton was plugged at 1140LT.

Krypton went bad at ~1302LT, indicating that the electronics box was probably
not the problem.

We decided to then change out the serializer in the CSAT box (rather than 
changing out the entire sonic and CSAT box) as a further test. If that does not
work then we'll have reasonably strong evidence that it is the krypton-CSAT box
cable or the wiring to or from the serializer along the data path.

The system was down from 1543LT until 1604LT with tower climbing beginning at
1535LT. Off tower at 1615LT.

303: irrigation, Site all, Sat 26-May-2007 13:04:55 PDT, Our section was watered
Watering began sometime overnight 25-26May. Based on the kryptons it appears
to have begun at 2330LT 25 May around the tower and around 0030LT 26 May near
the array. Based on the just-wetted status of the ground upon our arrival we
speculate also that it began around 0600LT 26May. 

No water is getting in the rain gauge and so we cannot be sure.

302: rad_soil, Site 30m tower, Sat 26-May-2007 13:01:17 PDT, PAR sensor work, tower climb
PAR sensor placement was begun 12:45LT through 13:30LT with tower climbing. 3
or 4 sensors will be mounted oriented toward the SE or SW depending on mounting.

301: kh2o, Site 30m tower, Sat 26-May-2007 12:55:24 PDT, Cycled k.14m (S7, upper), inadvertant others
kh2o.14m (S7 upper) was power cycled as a change out was not possible due to 
watering.
Inadvertantly, S13 and S17 were also cycled due to mental failure (not by
this author).
300: kh2o, Site 30m tower, Sat 26-May-2007 12:40:42 PDT, Odd behavior in kh2o.7.5m overnight
k.7.5m stood out as high overnight. This could be physical or it could be a bug
crawled across the window (slept there) or some other cause. We are unsure but
it is now clean and functioning normally.
Also, cycled for good measure (S7, lower)

299: trh, Site 30m tower, Sat 26-May-2007 12:39:25 PDT, T/RH.6m fan may be failing
Ned noted a funny fan sound in T/RH.6m. No obvious impact on data and we are
monitoring.
298: sonic, Site 30m tower, Sat 26-May-2007 12:38:15 PDT, sonic.9m possibly low?
Ned found what may be an errant reading in the 9m sonic winds (they seem 
slightly low, perhaps). We are investigating.
297: hot films, Site 30m tower, Sat 26-May-2007 12:32:21 PDT, hftower started/triple films installed
The triple films were installed as before #1 at 6m, #4 at 10m and #3 at 14m 
between 1115LT and 1200LT. hftower was started with the switch and did not
come up. adn/aup was unsuccessful in mounting the Ptec.
Hard cycle was unsuccesful in mounting the Ptec.
adn/aup was successful in starting the data system and mounting the Ptec.
DAQ at 1944:46UTC.

296: kh2o, Site 30m tower, Sat 26-May-2007 12:31:25 PDT, Tower kryptons cleaned/checked
All of the tower kryptons were cleaned between 1110LT and 1230LT today.

Only the 23m sonic/krypton boom was lifted to do the cleaning.

295: kh2o, Site 30m tower, Sat 26-May-2007 10:23:45 PDT, 1.5m kh2o 'misaligned'
23may07 ~12:30 PDT

1.5m Kh2o was smacked hard by Ned's head.
Note the ~.2v drop in output at that time.
Appears the response and fluxes are still reasonable.
There is a noticable (~.5cm) horizontal misalignment now.

Manually aligned at 1112-1115LT today with some gain in voltage.

Starting at 15:50LT the array was lowered from the middle to low position.
Lowering was completed and the site departed at 19:05LT.

ttyS13 LiCor cable (east 6b) had to be re-jiggered (taped) after an 'incident'.

23may07  15:15-16:10  tower climbed

hftower turned off
Ptec#6 removed,  Ptec#7 installed
Removed 3-axis hotfilms and covered connector.

285: hot films, Site horizontal array, Wed 23-May-2007 18:39:54 PDT, hfarray down for spraying, array work
23may07 16:30-18:30  hfarray stopped

Lowered array to remove hot-films.
Ptec #1 removed,  Ptec#11 installed.
We decided to raise the array back to mid position and keep the central tower
at that height because the winds look good for overnight into tomorrow.
On Friday we'll need to restart and lower the array to 'low.'
284: trh, Site 30m tower, Wed 23-May-2007 11:22:26 PDT, 6m trh swapping, tower climbed
23may07 10:30-11:00;   12:05-12:20 Tower Climbed

6m TRH swapped out, back in, filter installed:
Originally at 7.5m until last night, trh had been showing 
a broad-band frequency response that at first was thought
to be a feature in the canopy/atmosphere interaction.
That sensor was swapped with 6m last night, but Greg and Ned
observed that it retained the 'feature' so it was removed today.
However, the 'new' unit wasn't working, so we put the original
unit back up.......meanwhile.....Geez Louise....
....noticed gortex filter missing on culprit trh!
Don't know how long that was the situation, but now it has a
filter from the 'spare.'
We'll keep an eye on this to determine whether the missing filter
was the only problem, or if it has been effected by operating without
a filter.


Andy Turnipseed's 14m inlet
Briefly installed a o3 filter for him to check his instrument,
closer to 10:50, for roughly 1-min


283: infrastructure, Site horizontal array, Tue 22-May-2007 16:50:56 PDT, Partial array lowering to 'low' position on Wed afternoon.
In order to expedite array lowering to the 'low' position planned for late
Thursday (> 12 hours after the pesticide spraying on Wed night but before or 
just as the winds turn favorable south) we will lower the instruments on the 
central tower of the array. This is the most time consuming part of the process
and therefore, we believe, provide more data at the 'low' position during 
favorable flow. 

The ability to filter winds at the current configuration (mid height) will be
sacrificed therefore for the period late Wed - late Thurs, but the winds are
forecast to be unfavorable during this period.

If the weather forecast alters we may alter our plan. 

Completed 23 May 16:30-18:30LT.

282: trh, Site 30m tower, Tue 22-May-2007 16:48:56 PDT, Exchange TRH.6m
On the basis of entry 280 in the logbook we will proceed with using a TRH spare
at TRH.6m on 23 May.

281: whatever, Site all, Tue 22-May-2007 16:16:01 PDT, Spraying Asana XL (Dupont chemical) Wed night overnight
The orchard will be sprayed with Asana XL on Wed night. 

No orchard entry for 12 hours and significant precautions for the following
24 hours (total of 36 hours). Precautions include washing, not rubbing eyes,
long sleeves etc. http://msds.dupont.com/msds/pdfs/EN/PEN_09004a2f800068f1.pdf
give the Material Safety Data Sheet. 

Active ingredients are:
Esfenvalerate (known as)
(S)-cyano (3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl(S) -4- chloro-alpha-(1-methylethyl)
benzeneacetate (8.4%)
280: trh, Site 30m tower, Tue 22-May-2007 14:39:48 PDT, T/RH exchange 6 with 7.5m due to oscillation
Per ongoing T/RH investigation and Tom's email we feel that there may be a 
non-physical low frequency undulation in T.7.5m including a time lag. We were
unable to detect this behavior in RH.7.5m. 

Today at 1455LT we exchanged the 6m and 7.5m TRHs to see if the feature 
currently at 7.5m changes position.

Start of tower 1455LT
End of tower 1515LT

Result: The feature moves. Not notable in RH measurement. Notable in T however.
(spectra and ts). Will change it out tomorrow (the 6m TRH).



279: whatever, Site base, Tue 22-May-2007 09:31:55 PDT, Faloona instrument - base - formaldehyde
Ian Faloona's formaldehyde instrument was installed in the trailer today. It
was too windy to place it on the PAM tower by base and so John and I will do 
it when the winds are becalmed. Ian will return with additional equipment that
is still being worked on so it will be some days before data is taken.

Ian is from UC Davis.

276: rad_soil, Site 30m tower, Mon 21-May-2007 16:02:13 PDT, Rlw.16m problem - seems to be in the web plots only
More analysis of the Rlw plots shows that for a number of weeks at least that
the Rlw web plots differ from the S-plots on Aster. The S plots are much 
smoother and physically realistic and so believe the web plots are accessing
something incorrectly to create a jittery plot. Will look at from hotel where
internet is more amenable.

Summary: Not likely to be a problem with the sensor.

Solution: Tom fixed this problem by adjusting rad.q. It turns out that the 
K&Z at .16m was using Eppley equations resulting in the funky behavior.

275: rad_soil, Site 30m tower, Mon 21-May-2007 13:06:19 PDT, branches cut away from Rnet
21may07 ~11:40  branches cut

These were 'encroaching' the Rnet to within an inch or so.
It could have hit the sensor already, or at some point
although there was no damage.
274: kh2o, Site 30m tower, Mon 21-May-2007 13:02:38 PDT, 14m Kh2o head only swapped
21may07 12:00-12:50

14m kh2o had been a problem, and it went bad again late yesterday.
We decided to replace just the head:
out 1393
in  1397
since according to Campbell this can apparently be done without
effecting the data.    It is breezy today and we decided to not
mess with the electronics box itself.
Still a chance that this won't fix the intermittent problem...

Data looks very good as of 16:00LT.

273: trh, Site 30m tower, Mon 21-May-2007 13:01:08 PDT, 1.5m TRH swapped
21may07 11:45-11:50

TRH swapped out with the newly calibrated / delivered unit from Boulder.
The one removed had been the culprit at 3m with the high-freq. noise.

S-plus shows that the 3m noise remains in place. Thus we conclude that this is
one of the sensors (50Ys) that Steve S. suggests have this behavior and that we
put another one in.

However, the RH and MR values (profiles)
are much more physically realistic and now, consistent with two separate
h2o profiles from ACD (1.5 and 4.5 m) with height. The 'notch' from yesterday
is gone and the 'bulge' from previous days is gone and replaced with a smoothly
varying h2o profile!

Basically, the 3m RH seems to have been high by ~2% until this time.



272: whatever, Site 30m tower, Mon 21-May-2007 12:57:18 PDT, Tower Climbed: branches, kh2o
21may07 11:15 - 12:50  Tower Climbed

Branches trimmed.
The breezy conditions were causing some branches to blow into the 9m trh,
and some other stuff.   Clipped these, and hopefully didn't 'clip' one
of the hotfilm wires at same time...

270: trh, Site 30m tower, Sun 20-May-2007 15:57:10 PDT, Exchange of 1.5m and 3.0m T/RH completed
Between 1540 and 1610 the 1.5m and 3.0m TRHs were exchanged. The purpose of 
the exchange is to discern whether the mixing ratio maximum showing at RH.3m 
(relative to 1.5m in particular, where soil moisture was expected to contribute
 moisture more effectively) is real or sensor-related. We expect a 'notch' to
to develop in the profile if the original 3m sensor was reading high or if the
1.5 m sensor was reading low (in creating the current condition).

Result: The notch was created. The exchanged sensors read within 2% RH however,
which is the accuracy of the sensor and so little can be done (unless the 
calibrations are unified to eliminate the bias).

267: trh, Site 30m tower, Sat 19-May-2007 14:07:22 PDT, mixing ratio profile, that was in question, less so due to ACD h2o profile confirmation
Ned checked with the ACD team regarding their h2o profiles to see if the low
elevation peak at 3 & 4.5m in mixing ratio was real. It was confirmed in their
profiles. This appears to indicate a convergence of water below canopy and 
above ground. Very interesting ... is this counter-gradient transport? Given the
reverse shear going up to the canopy, I don't think so, it is just that the
shear is reversed from our expectation.
266: whatever, Site 30m tower, Sat 19-May-2007 11:43:35 PDT, Tower Climbing: Scintillometer work
19may07 10:40 - 11:20  Tower Climbed

Scintillometer adjustment / data bad
------------------------------------
Anurban and Dawit downloaded the data with Erik, the student from Davis
who is supposed to periodically grab the readings.
However, the data was bad.
At Dawit's suggestion the dip switch settings were adjusted to increase
sensativity.   When we tried covering the optics to sample the background
readings, they were too high indicating excessive gain.   Meanwhile,
they had tried all the standard settings but got either insufficient signal,
or too high sensativity..
Jan is emailing Scintec about the situation.
Likely problem is that the receiver tower on the other side of the
orchard is too low and the signal is being obstructed by trees.
There could be a polarity issue, but it is unknown if that is even
possible.   The apeture is apparently 10-degrees, so wobble in the boom
could be a factor ultimately.
The students went home today, and Jan is considering his options. 
265: whatever, Site horizontal array, Sat 19-May-2007 11:40:27 PDT, Array West tower climbed: IR camera turned off
19may07 10:40 - 11:20 west tower climbed

IR camera had been taking 6-min pictures.
Jan instructed students to download data,
turn camera off and bag it to prevent
potential water damage.
264: data system, Site horizontal array, Sat 19-May-2007 11:18:31 PDT, West pocketec 15 May
The pocketec disk at west started to report disk errors when
reading archive files for April 10th, as part of the background
rsync download.

The disk was swapped and mounted on the aster laptop, on May 15.

rsync-ing these 5 files to isff1 resulted in hard disk errors;

west_20070410_120000.dat
west_20070411_000000.dat
west_20070412_000000.dat
west_20070412_120000.dat
west_20070414_120000.dat

All other files on the pocketec, up to May 15 were ok, and
copied to isff1.

After the initial rsync, then an fsck was performed on the disk
with the non-destructible, read-write, bad block scanning option:

fsck -f -c -c /dev/sdc1

This creates a badblock list and re-maps the files to good blocks.

As a result the above 5 files on the pocketec
were then readable without errors and the 5 files were rsync-'d
to isff1 again.

The fixed files exhibit far fewer bad-sample errors when read
with data_stats than the original rsync'd ones.  It appears
that the portions of the files with bad blocks were replaced
with 0's.

262: kh2o, Site 30m tower, Sat 19-May-2007 09:05:47 PDT, 14m Kh2o bad / recycled power
19may07 9:00  Recycled power to 14m kh2o

The values were bad from 18may 19:30Z - 19may 16:00Z

Previous power recycle overcame this problem for only 4 days.
261: leaf area index, Site all, Fri 18-May-2007 19:58:09 PDT, leaf area measurements
Took leaf area density measurements this evening  7:00-7:40pm LT

Data remains in the data logger.

File 35: bad data (remembering how to work the system)
File 36: east leg of east array
File 37: west leg of west array
File 38: 30m tower

All profiles were taken on the north side of the towers.

Occasional measurements locations on the east and west side
of the array were obstructed by leaves (i.e. leaves completely
covering the sensor).  In this case, I used my other hand to 
move the branch away so that those leaves were not covering
the sensor.


260: hot films, Site all, Fri 18-May-2007 16:47:44 PDT, hot-film voltages via data_dump
data_dump of ~ 10 hfarray...dat and hftower...dat files on Aster resulting
in finding values 'in-range' for all films (SFs 4,5,2,7,8 on array and TFs
1,4,3 on tower). The voltages are good.

The 'zeroed' channel (#6) has values over 3V.

259: hot films, Site 30m tower, Fri 18-May-2007 15:43:15 PDT, hftower down and now up again - tower climb
18may07  hftower work

15:45 - 16:15 Tower climbed

Removed ptec#7.
Took data system off tower given ongoing
flakey behaviour to change out the interface panel
(its corrosion may contribute to the flaky behavior
after 'water flooding' earlier).
Did not swap viper.   Cleaned power/analog panel.

17:30 - 18:00 Tower climbed
Reinstalled box.   Ptec #6 (which had Gordon's full r/w fsck so
it should be aok).
Bootup had exactly same behavior as before.   Didn't work, no
pocketec, on hard bootup but subsequent 'adn' and 'aup' did
mount it properly and things worked fine.   Thus i don't expect
this run to stay up either.

257: communications, Site base, Fri 18-May-2007 13:38:41 PDT, How to check sodar link is up or not
If for some unknown reason you want to see if the sodar 'ppp' link is up:

$ ifconfig

and look for something like this

ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          inet addr:192.168.13.1  P-t-P:192.168.20.20  Mask:255.255.255.255

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
          RX bytes:815 (815.0 b)  TX bytes:133 (133.0 b)

at this time it'll be up roughly 20-min every odd hour, and is initiated
by the sodar side pc.

Also you can look in /var/log/messages to see if anything did go for
something like this:

18may07

With Ian's Formaldehyde coming Monday with it's supposed 7A 1-phase load,
plus his desire for airconditioning, I decided to recheck the base power.


With A/C, battery charger, lights, Motosat and several PC's running:
Red-Leg: 16A
Blk-Leg: 18A
50A breaker in building, so we should be OK for Ian's

250: data system, Site 30m tower, Thu 17-May-2007 20:24:56 PDT, hftower pocketec exchanged ... again
After getting the hftower pocketec (#6) up at ~1630, Gordon noticed it was down
a couple hours later. Winds were good so we went out at sunset and exchanged
it with ptec#7. 

We did adn and halt before heading for the tower.
At the tower we exchanged 6 for 7 and then powered up.
Ptec writes failed.
We did adn then aup and it came up and started writing at 201152 LT 17 May.
Same pathology as this afternoon.

Power up
no-go on pocketec from hard bootup, not mounted.

aup
and everything worked.
Perhaps adam startup sequence needs additional delay to allow pocketec to init?

Scintillometer:
Dawit and Anirban (Jan's students) went up to tweak gain/resolution
246: hot films, Site horizontal array, Thu 17-May-2007 13:54:08 PDT, hfarray Pocketec took some time to come up...
The hfarray data system came up but the Pocketec did not during the array 
lowering process (from high to middle position). hfarray was halted at 0909LT
after operating from 1219LT 11 May until 0909LT 17 May (continuous, all full
sized files).

Came online of its own at 1403LT 17 May after array was repositioned in the
middle configuration. 

245: infrastructure, Site horizontal array, Thu 17-May-2007 13:46:42 PDT, Array lowered to middle position
Commencing at ~0915LT the array (hfarray halted at 0909LT) was lowered to 
it's middle position where
the 'bottom' and 'top' sonics are at 4.9m and 5.9m, respectively. The hotfilms
TRHs and p' sensor were moved as well on the central tower (along with the 
central tower sonics, of course).

We were off the array with everything in position as of 1347LT..

Branches were cut near some of the sonics in this position to avoid direct
contact with the sonic/Licor/krypton.

The hfarray disk (ptec#7) was switched out for a different Pocketec as it 
was 50% full. The newly installed pocketec did not come up as /var/tmp/usbdisk
and so see the other hotfilm logbook entry today.

Central Tower new heights:
Csat-5bot = 4.90m
Trh-5bot  = 5.41m
Csat-5top = 5.85m
Trh-5top  = 6.40m

West Array new heights (need tbd)
Csat-1bot = 4.90m
Csat-1top = 5.90m
Csat-4bot = 4.90m
Csat-4top = 5.90m

243: communications, Site 30m tower, Wed 16-May-2007 16:28:01 PDT, Tall Tower climbed, installed sodar repeater
16:may07  10:50-13:30 and 15:15-16:15  Tower Climbed

Sodar Repeater put back up.
Discovered no power at top.
worked down to find no power at mid-level junction.
Taped connection had leaked and power pin was corroded away.
Installed new splice cable to ttyS20, upper, and confirmed
working at base.   Reclimbed later in day to rework the cables
and tape the new connections.   Left bad / gray cable on the
tower for now.   Put radio back at sodar, and both ends as far
as the freewaves are concerned are working.   Did not check
the sodar's pc.   When checking at the base later on, did not
see the ppp link running, nor anything in the system log,
but Gordon said to expect it'll only be up ~20min every 1-2 hours,
and it is initiated from the sodar side.

Scintillometer aligned.
I worked on it for awhile and then David took over (student in
charge of the instrument) and he, other student, Jan eventually
realigned it.   Uncertain but it may not have good signal because
the target is 'in the trees' despite being on their crankup tower.
Didn't ask them, just basing this on partially overheard conversation.
See their logs.

Swapped IR camera media.
Took extra long because their cable didn't work and the new
pcmcia card didn't work at first.   Jan reformatted it back
at his motel to FAT instead of FAT32 and it worked.
Put new card back in at ~13:00 with 6-min photo capture.

should be very good for at least a year giving some credence to this idea if
in fact 4b LiCor is the one we've owned for some time and the others are all
the new ones. We will check.

We found logbook entries 8, 9 and 11 re: LiCor's which confirm this calibration
issue. 

Recommend a cal by Dr. Britt Stephens upon return.

239: trh, Site 30m tower, Tue 15-May-2007 17:38:45 PDT, T.3m - 0.05-0.15 noise in 1 second data - since at least April
In the course of an investigation of the low mixing ratio at 1.5m on the tower
(compared to the 3 and 4.5m levels) we looked at T at those 3 levels.

High-rate plots (1Hz) showed highly noticeable noise about the T.3m signal 
(not in the RH.3m signal). We tried one idea related to Xbee radio 
interference to no avail.

Given the earlier fan problem in TRH.3m we are changing the fan. This resulted
in an outage from 1740-1810LT and had no effect.

A search back to 15 April confirmed that this noise has been present since at
least then (data storage here is limited to 15 Apr - the rest is at home). 

From the above we conclude that the sensor itself is unstable and should 
be replaced. Check with Tom.
238: whatever, Site all, Tue 15-May-2007 15:36:17 PDT, NOTE for teardown: ACD items marked, in storage space
ACD is storing some good sized containers and boxes in the trailer. These boxes
are marked with a red X that says 'ACD' on it. We expect these will not be there
for teardown based on their schedule but now you know.

15may07 11:40 - 11:50   Upper

14m krypton was flakey once again.
While monitoring the csat, voltage was basically '0'
Cycled power on ttyS7 and it came back up looking ok.
This will not fix the problem (no-doubt), but probably
eliminates a cable problem on the krypton.
Most likely next step either swap kh2o, or the serializer,
one or the other is the culprit (or a cable inside the csat
box).
Ops good today with south winds so did not pursue further.

Pocketec had died last night
after working ok for ~4-hours.
Physically the connection appeared OK, and it was powered up,
however, the data system did not have-it mounted.
A 'adn' took down the daq 'normally', and an 'aup' brought
everything back up normally after installing #11.   At that time
new data was being written normally.

Note: overnight the pocketec appeared to have had some outages, although
it was still mounted and being written to.   A 'adn' took down the daq
normally, and an 'aup' brought it back normally after installing #2.

231: hot films, Site 30m tower, Tue 15-May-2007 10:23:14 PDT, hot-film data copied, pocketecs then cleared
As part of the ongoing analysis of the data-system/hftower/3-d hotfilm problems
we are planning to change out the 'good' Pocketecs for the 'flaky' pocketecs
today. As a result we have cleared the data off of them.

We cleared PTEC#11 of 2 partial files it had gathered from 11 May before
flaking.

We cleared PTEC#2 of ~ 24hrs of files it had gathered from 12-13 May before
flaking.
230: base, Site base, Tue 15-May-2007 09:53:55 PDT, Pocketec notes / fsck / mounting
15may07....18may07

We've been having troubles with the pocketecs especially at hftower,
but also at west overnight.   On a regular basis we need to make
sure a file-system-check is done on these devils.

Gordon's 'copy' script (do this first)
-----------------------
   copy_usbdisk.sh

Gordon's 'checking' script: (do this second)
-----------------------
   bb_fsck.sh
	This will take several hours to do, and you should first
	clean off the media using the script above.
	It essentially does a
	fsck -c -c with both a read plus a 'read/write' diagnostic
	of bad blocks.   This should help overcome the difficulties
	with these devices if regularly performed.
	Gordon's script also creates a log of activity (see below)
	and if you 'ps -elf | grep fsck' during the operation, you'll
	get something like this.

To check the disk by hand:
--------------------------
1) connect on usb port, while watching tail -f /var/log/messages
   for the device to be recognized.
   NOTE: make certain the usb cable is secure, these can be loose!
2) Konquerer will come up: cancel that
3) mount
   to see whether it is mounted or not.
   should come up as /media/usbdisk
   umount if it is.
4) su root
5) run the file system check on appropriate device: fsck.ext3 /dev/sdc1

227: hot films, Site 30m tower, Mon 14-May-2007 17:23:36 PDT, hftower back up @ 1650LT (down at 1612LT 13 May)
The 3-d hot-film system has been down since 13 May 1612LT. A large amount of 
time has been spent since ~10LT this morning in trying to resurrect the 
measurements from the three 3-d hotfilms. 

John finally got it going by inserting a USB stick in place of the Pocketec.
This seemed to clear out the system somehow, then allowing the Pocketec
to mount.

Hotfilm is up as of 1650LT 14 May.

The winds swung into the south at ~1630LT (within the +-30degree band of primary
interest).

226: pressure, Site horizontal array, Mon 14-May-2007 17:12:04 PDT, p' (ncar) on array, heights/distances, on array 1530-1630LT.
Following up on entry 191 additional measurements of the p' sensor (adjacent
to sonics 4b/4t) were made as follows:

Since the pressure probe is centered between the upper and lower small diameter
plates of the p' probe I estimate the height of the p' probe (sensor proper)
at 10.105m.

* 10.13 m to the upper face of the boom holding the p' infrastructure (which
hangs down below the boom, off the lower face, in an 'L' shape, see pics). The upper face of the boom is just a bit below, in a horizontal plane, the upper
small diameter disc on the p' probe.

* 10.085 m to the lower face of the p' boom. This face is level with the lower
small disc of the p' probe.

* 10.06 m to the top of the bottom large diameter disc of the p' system.

* 0.495 m is the distance in the E-W direction between the p' probe boom
and the 4b sonic boom. 

Combined with angles measured from the photos, the length to the probe 
from the boom along the mount pipe of the p' infrastructure the spatial
distance from the p' probe to the centroid of the sonic claws can be 
calculated.

We could not measure the pipe (boom-probe length) or angle between the boom
and the pipe.

This should be done when the array is lowered.



225: whatever, Site horizontal array, Mon 14-May-2007 17:08:47 PDT, Web cam height, central array tower
The web cam was measured at 11.755m agl on the central tower. See earlier 
web cam entry for details on the actual move (entry #212).

224: data system, Site 30m tower, Mon 14-May-2007 17:05:13 PDT, CPC ingest started, lower down for ~20 min
The .xml was uploaded and pushed to Lower for ingest by Gordon between
1902 and 1919UTC. Ingest began at 191857 officially.
223: pressure, Site all, Mon 14-May-2007 14:21:47 PDT, p' hoses staked
Simple garden stakes were placed at the ground end of the hose to protect
from accidental kicks that might dislodge or break the smaller diameter

*** Summary: The winds today are not from the appropriate direction but may 
turn so overnight tonight or tomorrow. Last night we had an excellent example 
of a stable boundary layer within the tower depth. It alternated from an
intra-canopy inversion of 10C, to a canopy top-29m inversion of ~6C and back to
an intra-canopy inversion of ~7C overnight. Wow!

13may07 18:00pdt

Stopped dsm, etc.
Moved power strip with 'aster latitude, isff2, AP24, D-link'
from raw power plug to UPS plug.
Last night we saw data outage at roughly 2-3am local due
to a power hit.   The AP24, etc died and r.t. data was
halted.   The aster latitude stayed up due to internal
batt. but the dlink, etc was out.   The adams appeared
to stay up based on file create dates but may have had
some loss based on raw file sizes....not yet fully
investigated.
today had 'poor' wind dir. so we decided to do this now.

219: infrastructure, Site 30m tower, Sun 13-May-2007 17:36:12 PDT, ACD power load / Tower DC
13may07

ACD loads:
	~ 7.5A @120, leg with lights, etc.
	~10.5A @120, leg with Alex's big load + CPC on tower (~100w)
	Andy said this is very close to everything.

	Update 30may07 for ACD loads:
	~ 12.5 @120
	~ 11-14A @120
	So these are under the requested 20A*2,
	however, for WSU who requested 20A also there could
	be some compromises needed.
	Andreas' CPC load can apparently be removed if needed.

Tower DC:
	13.5 at Power Supply charging/running daq
	12.7 at battery going to boxes
	12.3 into upper's main
	11.7 into lower's main
	11.5 at bulkhead going to ttyS10 (cpc sio only)

	These are low, and I wonder just how low they are at height.
	Too much IR drop.
	Also note that while working on the tower I noticed the lowest
	trh fan 'sagged' noticably for a short period.
	This only happened twice that was observed and since AndyT.
	was there I decided to blame his ACD loads, but......
	could this be and issue with trh quality due to occassional
	insufficient aspiration.

*** Activities for today

1. p' location changed to east site of west part of array. The problem is
   interference by guy wires that cross in front in the original central tower
   array configuration. Pictures taken. Data functional 1630LT @15Hz on
   west ttyS16.
2. Fan on TRH.3m tweaked to allow better spin and now functional with no
   notable T' in profile plots. Good for operations. Installed 0940LT.
3. kryp.14m evaluated as fine 1005LT (connections good and currently
   functional). Also cleaned. Will continue to monitor but judged OK for
   ops. Will be replaced with spare as needed.
4. hftower TF4 switches in miniCTA adjusted to proper position 1445LT.
5. Web cam on array moved to full array height, central at 1700LT.
6. ACD tube installations (Golem/John on tower) completed 1220LT. Profile
   at the following heights: 1.5, 6, 9, 11, 14 and 23m. - completed 1200LT.
   systems take a considerable time to calibrate and should be operational
   by tomorrow afternoon.
7. Krypton at 7.5m cleaned with significant increase in V @0955LT. Good for

Report by: Poulos
On Site: Poulos, Militzer, Patton (PI) - Golem departed this morning
ACD team onsite

*** Summary: Phase II operations underway. All measurement systems functional. 
A data glitch of 1hr~10min between 0203 and 0311 this morning on east, west, 
upper, lower and aster (did not affect hot-film data systems, perhaps rsync 
related?). Logs confirm eth0/usb issues.

Atmospheric.chemical.event - interesting: There was a sudden
wind direction shift to 270 @0130LT then ~320 during the outage. The wind shift
was accompanied by a reduction in winds to near zero and < 1.0 m/s winds 
thereafter, an increase in stability (z/L 1- >3), no obvious change in RH,
large deviations (3-7 mmol/m3) of CO2 and  (1-3 g/m3) h2o, a change in sign
to negative vapor flux. This event may be a combination of marine layer-air
mass change and canopy interaction. co2, h2o variations went away at 0700LT.
Analysis is confounded by data outage.
 
6 data systems: good (overnight outages in east, west, upper, lower)
31 sonics:      operating, monitoring 5b/5t
16 TRH:         good
5 LiCor:        good
3 pressure:     good
12 kryptons:    1.5m low V after cleaning - will reclean
Soil/rad:       good
Hotfilms:       good
Communications: Single outage in webplots 02-03LT 13 May per above. Sodar 
comms non-functional.

*** Activities for today

1. Cable for ACD aerosol sensor (CPC), .xml for CPC
2. Sodar comms tests
3. 1.5m krypton cleaning
4. S-plus checks of LiCor, rain, outage investigation

*** DATA

data_stats: Fine. NOTE: During rsync data_stats on NIDAS will show low rate
                        values. data_stats on Aster shows fine.

*** DATA STORAGE STATUS ---------
Automated pocketec downloads for east, west, lower, upper OK.
aster: short 227Mb of 848Mb in 0513_08 file (~26%) versus ~60Mb below so mcuh

196: communications, Site base, Sat 12-May-2007 18:19:09 PDT, Sodar comms not functional, still
Sodar connection remains down as signal is insufficient. Additional tests will
be done during unsatisfactory winds during ops.
195: kh2o, Site 30m tower, Sat 12-May-2007 18:16:30 PDT, Kryp.14m, 7.5m, 1.5m + cleanings
14m intermittent behaviour was evaluated at 1005LT. Working well but has had
problems. Judged stable enough to go into ops tomorrow. It was cleaned too.

Low voltage on 7.5m lead to a cleaning at 0955LT. Notable increase in V and 
we noted a bee in between the windows!

1.5 m cleaning 1800LT made things worse. Reclean tomorrow.


194: trh, Site 30m tower, Sat 12-May-2007 18:14:24 PDT, TRH.3m fan adjusted
The fan had quit. It turns out that it was caught and by re-rounding the intake
it worked again. Will monitor for intermittent behaviour.Installed 0940LT. Data
looks great.
193: hot films, Site 30m tower, Sat 12-May-2007 14:50:44 PDT, Triple film data system - hftower and TF4 switches adjusted
3-d hotfilms installed on the 30m tower between 1245 and 1345LT. Data system
hard-booted with a new Pocketec in place of the one that had not been working
(we are suspicious that it was the soaking it endured during the break). It
was placed in the USB2 plug. Chris earlier had noted some condensation in the 
data system box (from the Pocketec cloth cover that had absorbed much water)
so we air dried it for a bit.

TF4 - the spare 3-d hotfilm, now installed at 10 m in place of TF2, had its 
switches adjusted to the proper configuration. 

hftower functional as of 1530LT with 130Meg files per half hour being 
written to the Pocketec. 

ssh to root@hftower is slow (be patient). 


192: pressure, Site horizontal array, Sat 12-May-2007 12:47:20 PDT, p' sensor moved to array east side of west portion - MUST BE MOVED BEFORE ARRAY HT CHANGES
The p' sensor is now plugged into ttyS16 on the west NIDAS (array). Data
began recording at 1630LT at 15Hz.

The p' sensor is mounted in a similar position in plan view as on
the tall tower. It is half-way between the sonics (or 10.1 m agl) and about 30cm
northeast of the line through the sonic claw centroid. We have taken pictures.

It is not on the central tower as planned! The central tower position had
guy wires that crossed immediately in front of the p' sensor. These guy 
wires do not cross in front of the sonics of interest so we moved it. This 
creates a bit more logistical hassle during array moving.

IMPORTANT: Must be moved out of the way before moving the array.

Ned's email
-----------

Wanted to send you some pictures of where the pressure port has  currently been deployed
(see attached).

The first picture is taken from the ground.  Starting from the top of  the figure, the
first sonic is 3b, then you see 4t, 4b, 5t and 5b.   This picture is intended to show you
the N-S location of the port  compared with the sonics.  It is located about 30cm behind
the  sampling volumes of sonics 4b and 4t.  (small side note:  this  picture also shows
the new location for the web-cam), i.e. at the top  of the central tower in the array,
above the hauling boom).

The other pictures are intended to give you a feel for the E-W and  vertical placement
with respect to sonics 4b and 4t.  Vertically the  port is pretty much centered between
the sonics.  The E-W placement  is about 15cm east of the sonics.

The boom holding the pressure port is currently mounted on the east  leg of the west
array.  Since this is a main climbing face, to  minimize the impact the mount is centered
between rungs and the  'large' side of the mount is inside the tower.

Originally, we had discussed placing the pressure port between 5b and  5t.  However, Greg
and I chose to move the pressure port to the  current location because of the guy wires
that criss-cross  immediately below sonic 5t (see the first attached picture for 
reference).  After we installed the pressure port at this original  location on the
central tower, we decided to move it to the current  location because of the potential
for high-frequency contamination  associated with two wires which crossed about 10cm in
front of the  pressure port.

We can adjust any and all of these locations/choices.  Please let us  know if you have
any comments, concerns and/or suggestions.


191: whatever, Site 30m tower, Sat 12-May-2007 08:30:25 PDT, ACD tubes 12 May
ACD tube installations (Golem/John on tower) completed 1220LT. Profile 
at the following heights: 1.5, 6, 9, 11, 14 and 23m. - completed 1200LT. 
Tubes are ~ 0.7 meters out on boom with a small webbed intake of ~ 5cm
diameter. Some additional tubes are at these heights but at the tower rather
than on the booms.

Tubes were pulled from 1100-1220LT.





190: infrastructure, Site horizontal array, Fri 11-May-2007 15:39:12 PDT, Array west-east heights remeasured
The heights of the array:
West - west 9.61, 10.61, east 9.61, 10.61 (meters)
East - west 9.61, 10.61, east 9.62, 10.62 (meters)

*** Summary

Wind direction is within +-30 deg of S today. We will be fiddling however.

The team above arrived yesterday (9 May) and is preparing the system for
operations, which begin Sunday 13 May. M/G, in a stunning display of technical 
savvy, found a sensitive power connection to the D-link box late on 9 May that 
caused the data link to go down until fixed this morning. Local storage 
appears complete. This explains 'gap' in covar plots.

We will first work on the array itself, and fix some obvious problems on both 
the array and tall tower, before working on additional items (such as p', ACD
etc.). We were fortunate that the spraying planned for 2 days ago never 
occurred and as such we have very safe conditions. Spraying will not occur 
unless it rains and so none is expected for at least a week.

We met with the owner Bill Cilker, and Antonio, first thing this morning. 
Bill returned after lunch and spent and hour speaking with Ned about the science and the equipment. Antonio's son's astronomy class will visit.
An interesting fellow who is quite happy with how we are operating.

Other visitors: None. We expect a group of students from UC Berkeley led by 
Prof. Tina Katopodes-Chow next week. Also, EOL Director on 17 May. Antonio's
son's astronomy class.

*** Plans for today
NOTE: Tower disturbed 10am - 1230 do not use data
Array disturbed from 310pm - 630pm - do not use this data or use sparsely

0. Check guy tensions and adjust as appropriate
   - tall tower was tensioned - see separate entry
1. Clean the sensors on the array in the lower position 
   - completed, notable jump in krypton voltage
2. Install single hot-films on array, data system and replace SF6 with SF2 
   - single hot-films installed in vertical position
   - need to be taped for water protection
   - data system to be connected tomorrow
   - SF2 switches to be set tomorrow
3. Cut branches and leaves that have grown out to interfere with sonic 5b
   - first hour free of branches look good - to be monitored
4. Re-install the intake for the tower T.9m
   - T.9m now operating well
5. Evaluate the T.14m sensor that is literally hanging by a wire
   - sensor had broken wires, removed. To be fixed and replaced tomorrow
6. Evaluate T.23m and kh2o.14m
   - T.23m was back and then went away again hour of 3pm 10 May - flakey
   - kh2o.14m - wires jiggled and came back. To be looked at carefully
7. Begin work on p' position change per Oncley instructions
   - fully disconnected Oncley sensor and put USFS sensor back on (working)
   - Oncley sensor to be installed

#s 4-6 explain the pathology of three errors seen in Tom's interim status 
reports.

185: trh, Site 30m tower, Wed 09-May-2007 09:17:02 MDT, TRH woes
Problems have recently cropped up with the 9, 14, and 23 m TRH's.

9 m TRH is too high during the day, suggesting a fan failure.

14 m TRH has bad data (T=-40, RH=-1.6).  It appears as though there is a bad
connection between the sensor and the A/D.

23 m TRH is not communicating with the data system.  Perhaps a power recycle
will get it going properly.

the rad stand was fixed by Hanza on friday Apr 27th by running wire from the
large battery, directly to the datalogger.
data started flowing.


182: pressure, Site horizontal array, Mon 07-May-2007 14:02:34 MDT, p.ncar at ha added to config
To prepare for Ned/Greg/John's move of my sensor to the horizontal array, I've
updated all the configs.  The new port assignment for my sensor is east, 
port 15.  When this change is made, it will report ID#350 on east (and ID#1130
on lower will disappear).

I've also set the height values to midway between the sonics (2.5, 5.4, 10.1m).

178: pressure, Site 30m tower, Wed 25-Apr-2007 13:29:58 MDT, resonance
I determine from the spectrum that we now have resonance at 3.3Hz.  At a nominal
speed of sound of 330 m/s, and assuming that our tubing is one-open-end 
resonator at 1/4 wavelength, the length of tubing would be 100m/4=25m.  Our
garden hose 15m, so there is a bit of a mismatch, but perhaps this is
close enough to be the explanation for the "bump"?

177: pressure, Site 30m tower, Wed 25-Apr-2007 11:52:46 MDT, p' port location
Using photogrammetry, I've estimated that the center of the quad-disk-probe
is 37.4cm from the intersection of the CSAT acoustic paths, at an angle of 
133 degrees from the longitudinal axis of the sonic.  If the sonic was
pointing due west, this would make the bearing of the port 137 degrees true 
from the sonic array. Winds from an angle of 149 degrees true would graze the
edge of the probe's outer disks.  Thus, 11m sonic data from directions from 
about 125--150 degrees are now compromised by the presence of this port.

173: adams, Site 30m tower, Tue 24-Apr-2007 14:46:54 MDT, hfarray dead (and resurrected!)


Before SteveO left he plugged in the emptied pocketec to hfarray,
but wasn't able to mount it.

I logged into hfarray from Boulder today but still wasn't
able to mount the pocketec.  I think the error was:

"/dev/sda1 is not a valid block device"

As a hack I rebooted hfarray, and now it won't ping.

(hfarray is the system with the 10% ping error problem).



After an hour or so the system came back.  It must
have been checking the disk.  I logged into it,
verified that the pocketec data has been saved to
the /media/isff backups, and cleared the pocketec.

172: hot films, Site horizontal array, Tue 24-Apr-2007 14:25:06 MDT, hot-film serial numbers
On removal, the hot-film probes were:
ha
3t: 4
4t: 5
5t: 2 (replacing 6 that broke and is being repaired)
6t: 7
7t: 8
vt
6m: 1
10m: 2 (but at least one wire is now broken and being repaired)
14m: 3

Since bridge settings are probe-specific, the probes should be reinstalled 
at the beginning of Phase II in this order.  Note that 10m.vt will now be
the spare (4) and will require changing the bridges settings.

These probes are in boxes on the shelf in the computer room of the base, to the
left of the printer.

Also note that some method of protecting the connector joint on at least the
triple probes from rain should be devised.  (This was perhaps the reason
for an apparently dead signal from the 10m probe.)

164: sonic, Site horizontal array, Thu 19-Apr-2007 13:30:40 MDT, horizontal array structure beefed up
Aril 15th , 2007
I added wooden dowels to the 'EMT' type tubing junctions in an attempt to
stiffen up the transition from one pipe to the other, with some, but not a lot,
of success. Most of the arrays look OK, with a minimum amount of "sag" to the
inner sonics, but for some reason, the lower east array had a large sag
between the inner and outer sonics. My hope was that a stiffer pipe, or better
junction between the two pieces of pipe would improve this situation, and it
did, but not by a whole lot.
The heights of the sonics need to be measured again.
The arrays that were modified are both upper and lower on west, and then
lower on east.
Upper on east was not modified because the dowel would not fit into the EMT
pipe.

162: whatever, Site all, Sun 15-Apr-2007 19:47:19 PDT, shift and secure
Sorry, Tom, one big message here, since its been a long day:

Started the day by initiating a backup of the entire dataset from isff1 to isff2
Took soil sample at 0900
Pulled hftower's Pocketec to begin backup
Pulled up the horizontal array between ~1040-1150 (west side first)
(bent the yoke for mounting 6b in the process)
From ~1230-1410 replaced 6b's yoke and secured the array with ratchet straps,
etc.
Went to lunch
From ~1525-1710 moved towers on central sensors up.
From ~1730-1820 put guy wire batteries back (after charging in base)
Also during this period drilled weep hole in hftower and reinstalled Pocketec
In base, continuing to backup disks
Changed to ops7.

161: hot films, Site 30m tower, Sat 14-Apr-2007 17:02:01 PDT, shut down hftower data
To avoid filling up the Pocketec with useless files, I stopped data collection
with adn.

160: sonic, Site horizontal array, Sat 14-Apr-2007 15:35:46 PDT, central heights
Heights of top of booms on central tower in low-level array:
TRH:	3.46m
Sonic:	2.91m
TRH:	2.47m
Sonic:	1.95m


159: pressure, Site 30m tower, Sat 14-Apr-2007 15:34:42 PDT, flat washer inserted
Finally inserted a flat washer at the port/hose connection, so it shouldn't
leak.  This done 1508.  The fitting had "bottomed out", so prior data are
somewhat suspect.



158: hot films, Site 30m tower, Sat 14-Apr-2007 15:32:26 PDT, triple probes removed
From about 1430-1500 removed the triple probes in order: 6m (1), 10m (2), and
14m (3).  Both 6m and 10m were sliders, so sonic data probably are okay.
14m was a tilt-up, that was up from ~1453-1457.

Summary:
Rain last night and more forecast for today.
Finally -- some decent South winds.  Now 25 hours in low-level/wide configuration.  
p' noise does seem to be tube related.  Now using garden hose and see just one
resonant frequency -- probably good enough.
They are still sprinkling the rows just to the east of our tower.

Rain started about 2 min ago.  NWS radar shows it might last a while.  
We didn't get the hot-films pulled yet :(

155: pressure, Site 30m tower, Fri 13-Apr-2007 18:38:09 PDT, tubing shortened
I removed about 4m of dekoran tubing from the base of the mast, which might
help lower our bump a bit more...
This done about 1830.

154: logistics, Site all, Fri 13-Apr-2007 15:48:03 PDT, irrigation has started
irrigation has started! (is by array eastern side now, will be in array
by tommorrow.
all battery boxes have been either covered with garbage bags, or been sealed 
(hopefully well enough) with duct tape. unfortunately, no one will be here to
see if more measures are needed past monday. such is UNATTENDED ops.
153: pressure, Site 30m tower, Fri 13-Apr-2007 14:49:46 PDT, moved port to other side of boom
I remounted the quad-disk-probe on to the south side of the sonic boom, as per
Bill and Jim.  Winds from SE will now put the sonic in the wake of the port.

I also intended to make the hose fitting more secure, but now realize that I
should have a washer inside the fitting (which I didn't have).  Another trip
may be called for.

152: rad_soil, Site 30m tower, Fri 13-Apr-2007 14:45:37 PDT, 16m rads cleaned
I cleaned the 16m radiometers from 1413-1417.  Sky was clear, so it should be
possible to see the effect.  There was a bit of obvious dust on the up-lookers.
As far as I know, this is the first time cleaning these sensors.

The boom was seated on only one side of the clamp, which made me nervous.  It
was redeployed using both sides.

151: sonic, Site 30m tower, Fri 13-Apr-2007 13:05:45 PDT, vertical array azimuth attempt
I attempted to shoot the azmuths of of the sonics on the 30 M  tower using the
datascope   plus or minus .5 deg accy (shooting into the boom)
I didn't get too far due to a lot of leaves obscuring the view.

1.5 meter	94.8
3.0 meter	96.2
4.5 meter	95.6
6.0 meter	94.8 (this one mostly a guess due to limited clear view)
7.5 meter	90.1 (this reading not very believeable because only clear view
			was from a very steep angle)
9.0 meter	94.8
all sonics higher than 9 meters were blocked by foliage, or angle of view was
too steep

I also attempted to shoot the hot film azmuths, but I couldn't get a clear view
of them either.





150: sonic, Site horizontal array, Fri 13-Apr-2007 12:52:21 PDT, low horizontal array sonic azmuths
shot sonic azmuths using datascope (+ or - .5 deg accy) and using a 14.7 deg

Since last nights' data looked good from a lower port, we decided to try a 
larger pipe.  I installed a garden hose from about 0900-1010 today, plumbed
to the port back at 11m (and set it upright again).

147: pressure, Site 30m tower, Thu 12-Apr-2007 16:52:04 PDT, p' data rates lowered
Now that the tubing noise is reduced, I see the Paroscientific instrument noise
levels.  Thus, I've nudged the data rate down again:
1m Paro: PI=134, PR=48 => 3.85sps (~8ub resolution)
11m ncar: PI=67, PR=24 => 14.6sps (and PS still 128) (~1.6ub resolution)
This done about 16:52


146: pressure, Site 30m tower, Thu 12-Apr-2007 16:03:25 PDT, Spare quad-disk-port installed at 1m
For more pressure diagnosing, I have lashed Bill's spare port on the PAM
port boom and connected both his and my transducers to it.  This eliminates the
water pipe and provides a nearly side-by-side comparison to the reference
Paroscientific on the PAM port.  This was done about 15:00.
We'll run a while like this.


145: trh, Site 30m tower, Thu 12-Apr-2007 15:56:57 PDT, 6m TRH replaced
Since this T has been 0.1 deg low, it was replaced by the sensor just shipped
back from Boulder.
0101 removed 15:16
0502 installed 15:34 (but wait until 15:40 for fan to cool it down)

It took a while because the replacement fan was plugged into the wrong side
of the connector, which obviously had to be fixed.

144: sonic, Site horizontal array, Thu 12-Apr-2007 15:54:07 PDT, replaced 2t sonic
Since 2t has had bad diag values, we swapped it today (using the step ladder).
0853 removed at ~1445
0120 installed at ~1457

143: sonic, Site horizontal array, Thu 12-Apr-2007 12:09:40 PDT, boom heights on array (in low-wide position)
Measured on April 11, 2007, between 11:30-13:30 PDT.

A plot showing the estimated horiz location of each sonic is:

   http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/abl/chats/chats_images_wgps.html

Looking at a previous logbook entry that measured boom heights (#73) i
just realized that the measurement i used was slightly different than
that done previously.  The theodolite was setup 19.8-0.2=19.6cm away
from a measuring tape that was stuck on the inner west tower section
of the array (note that the height of this baseseplate was about 2cm
higher than the central baseplate).  The "-0.2" cm is since the "zero"
on the tape was at 20cm (i didn't realize this until after i had
measured it).  The az angle of the tape was 208.18.40.

The theodolite was located approx in front of sonic #3 and could view
all sonics from this position (just behind tree row S2).  Rather than
measure the top/bottom of the back of the sonic (as in logbook entry
#73), I estimated the location of the air space between the
transducers.  And then swung the view over to the tape to get an
estimate of the height of the sonic.

To make the calculation of sonic height it was necessary to assume the
location of the sonic was at a fixed distance in front of the
measuring tape...this distance was assumed to be 1.58m (essentially
the distance of the sonic booms)....after assuming this, the
horizontal distance from the theodolite and each sonic could be
calculated (call this D'), and the heights were measured with the
following formula:

Projection of D' onto the Az to the Measuring Tape:

          L' = D' * cos(Az-Az_tape)

Difference in Distance between L' and L (distance to the meas tape):

          X = 19.6m - L'

Adjustment to the tape measurement (Z_tape) due to different horiz
distances:

          Z_sonic = Z_tape - X*(tan(90-Angle_vert))

---------------------
The measurements are:

Notes:     (1) Angles are shown in Deg.min.sec
           (2) "Z_tape" is the height measured through the theodolite
                by viewing the tape that was attached to the tower section.
           (3) "w/ Tape" is the distance from the ground to the bottom
                strut of each 2m sonic (done by hand)

141: pressure, Site 30m tower, Wed 11-Apr-2007 16:32:07 PDT, more p rate changes
To figure out the bump, I've been playing with paro sampling rates.
At about 15:44, I set:
P.1m: PI=34, PR=12 => 12.1 sps
p.ncar: PI=17, PR=6 => 41.7 sps

These settings had too much noise.

Just now (16:32), I set:
P.1m: PI=67, PR=24 => 7.2 sps
p.ncar: PI=34, PR=12 => 28.2 sps

Recall that p.ncar also has PS=128, running P7 command.

140: pressure, Site 30m tower, Wed 11-Apr-2007 12:55:21 PDT, p' removal instructions
Since I won't be here for tear-down, I thought I'd make a few notes about
removing the pressure stuff.
- To remove the port, I would:
	- lean out with a 5/8(?) wrench and disconnect the copper tubing
	- lean out with a ratcheting 7/16 and loosen the bolt on the top
	of the sonic boom about 1/2 a turn
	- swing the port towards the tower
	- lean out with 2 hands and loosen the Allen setscrews nearest the
	port while holding onto the port
	- put the port carefully in a backpack and lower it down
	- put a hauling line on the rest of the metal mount and fully remove
	the 7/16 top bolt
	- The ports (one more is on the shelf by the Motosat) were shipped in
	a separate cardboard in bubble wrap and peanuts, inside a baggie to
	keep peanuts from jamming between plates.
- To remove the water pipe:
	- disconnect the black Dekoran tubing at the bottom of the tube.
	- remove the adams (to avoid water damage)
	- remove the water -- I'd try making a small cut near the base of
	the tube with a hacksaw; you could also try loosening the bulkhead
	fitting on the bottom end cap
	- continue cutting off the end cap through the inner copper tube
        [SAVE this cap -- I want to keep the bulkhead fitting]
	- pull up the copper tubing from the top; coil up and save
	- undo the cable ties; drop the PVC tubing; cut up with hacksaw and
	discard (maybe Antonio wants some?)
- Disassemble the transducers:
	- Disconnect tubing on T at base of tarp
	- Bill's grey box came out more-or-less loose in a big cardboard box, 
	along with his tarp, bungies, and tubing.  The foam can be excessed.
	- The Pelican case foundation is ours for shipping TRHs
	- Disinter my Aluminum tube
	- **** IMPORTANT ****
	My sensor will be destroyed if it is shipped to Boulder with the
	pressure in the reference volume set to Dixon pressure.
	I need the following steps to be done, even though they are obnoxious.
	(may be easier to do in base trailer)  I'm sorry....
		- disconnect tubing at end cap
		- remove 8 screws (and black tape) securing the connector
		end cap
		- tip up closed end of tube a bit while pulling on the 
		connector end cap and pull out the transducer (about 8").
		- disconnect clear tubing on end of blue transducer on side
		opposite end cap (-).  Be somewhat careful.  There is squishy 
		grey foam around this fitting that needs to be pushed into
		transducer to get a wrench on the fitting.  There might be
		a slight release of air/nitrogen.
		- remove 2 Phillips screws holding transducer to cap
		- disconnect clear tubing from inside of bulkhead
		fitting on end cap
		- reconnect Phillips screws, with end of tubing
		loose inside milled indentation for bulkhead fitting
		- reconnect 8 screws
	- My sensor came wrapped in ping bubble wrap, laid near one side of
	the grey shipping case, and wedged with 2x6 chunks.  The rest of the
	case was filled with the box of fittings and tubing.
	

139: pressure, Site 30m tower, Wed 11-Apr-2007 12:38:32 PDT, p port now upside down
As part of the ongoing determination of why the p' sensors show noise at ~4 Hz,
I have just changed the port to be upside down (and thus now lower).  This
done ~12:00-12:17.  After this was done, I deliberately checked for mechanical
vibrations.  The biggest appears to be the entire boom vibrating in both
pitch and azimuth.  I induced a pitch oscillation of the port with a vertical
displacement of about +/-1 cm at ~12:16.  The frequency would have been a few
Hz.  No vibration at this frequency is obvious in the data.

(An oscillation is obvious, but is much slower -- perhaps due to my body motion
on the tower?)
138: pressure, Site 30m tower, Wed 11-Apr-2007 10:33:57 PDT, p.1m now 4sps
I just set PR=48 (and hopefully PI=134) on the Paro.  This should decrease the
resolution somewhat (5ppm, rather than 0.5ppm), but increase the sampling rate
to 4sps.

136: sonic, Site 30m tower, Tue 10-Apr-2007 23:30:27 PDT, needed to restart 4.5m sonic
data_stats showed that the 4.5m sonic wasn't reporting.  I got it going
by typing &d's at it using rserial.

We had this behaviour during TREX with 2 sonics -- we should check the serial 
numbers.

P.S. This is SN 1120.  The TREX sonic that was logged as misbehaving was 1123.
Did we have this problem in CuPIDO as well?

135: data system, Site horizontal array, Tue 10-Apr-2007 23:14:26 PDT, east hung
data_stats showed that the Emereald channels on east had died.  This is a first
for this data system.  It came back up with aup, but I first had to manually
kill dsm processes -- adn didn't work for some reason.

134: hot films, Site all, Tue 10-Apr-2007 17:47:21 PDT, hotfilm software seems okay
I had enabled the 6th A/D channel on hfarray either last night or the night
before.  It is shorted with a shorting plug.  As of just now, we are getting
"nan" (which seems to be what the software reports for 0) in the 6th
column -- exactly where it should be.


133: data system, Site horizontal array, Tue 10-Apr-2007 16:53:55 PDT, gps on east/west now locked
Gordon noticed that when we moved the boxes down on central, we blocked the
field of view of the GPSs on east and west.  The GPS receivers were moved
onto one of the booms at about 1515 today.  We now have GPS lock again.

132: kh2o, Site 30m tower, Tue 10-Apr-2007 15:38:58 PDT, krypton at 14m strange
As I mentioned in status, the 14m krypton is strange.  Keith just reseated
the connectors, so we'll see if there is any change.  (Though a look with
prep() at the signal doesn't show any change.)  It is an intermittent
problem.

131: kh2o, Site 30m tower, Tue 10-Apr-2007 15:37:23 PDT, krypton 7.5 cleaned
Since I saw little change when Keith cleaned the krypton at 7.5m, I asked him
to do it again today (~1515).  I still see no change, so I guess it was
clean after all!  (But it is now the lowest voltage.)

129: pressure, Site 30m tower, Tue 10-Apr-2007 13:11:04 PDT, p.ncar installed
At long last, I've installed my p' sensor in the final configuration.  Note
that from ~12:30-1:00 p.usfs is also bad since I had to break into the pressure
line to install p.ncar.  p.ncar is buried under p.usfs -- I hope it survives
the rain forecast for tomorrow!

Note that it will take quite a while for the temperature of my reference volume
to equilibrate to its current position in the soil.  (The volume has been in
our air-conditioned trailer.)

The transducer reading is -6mb, so apparently my reference volume is at a 
reasonable pressure!

128: trh, Site 30m tower, Mon 09-Apr-2007 18:40:17 PDT, TRH recal info
Please enter this record of the laboratory recalibration of S/N 502 in
the CHATS logbook:

S/N 502 was originally at the 6 m level on the vertical tower and was
replaced with S/N 206 on March 21 (entry 31).  Ned and I had detected
the -0.3 deg C error in the profile plots.  We will send it out to
replace the TRH currently at 6 m (S/N 101) which we removed from the
horizontal array (entry 93) because it appears to be in error by -0.1
deg C.  Send S/N 101 back for laboratory recalibration.

Thanks,
Tom

Here is the result of the temperature check on TRH502. It had a mean
error of -.3133 C (sensor - ref). If we want we could use this as a
correction to the data when this sensor was deployed. New coefficients
will be computed.

On Site: Oncley, Romberg, Burns, Sun [arrived last night]

Recent work:

Yesterday--
- Cleaned all optical sensors (except 16m rad)
- Reconfigured to low/wide array
- Reinstalled all hotfilms
- Filled water tube for p' sensors
Today--
- Measured north tower and horizontal array cable tensions.
- LAI measurements
- Gravimetric and TRIME soil measurements
- Trouble shooted North Tower ethernet problem.
- Trouble shooted Oncley pressure sensor [fixed by 12:30].

To Do: Measure new sonic heights and azimuths
	(better done at lower height)
       Measure tree diameters for Pete
       Fix network problem with hftower
       Clean radiometers at 16m

Summary:
After getting 43 hours in mid-level/wide configuration, we moved to the low-level/wide configuration.
(We had to the array to install the hot-films anyway.)  We also cleaned all sensors (which had
a lot of pollen accumulation, but no noticable herbicide spray).
hftower still has some problems, but hopefully a workaround is imminate.  Also I've been working
on p' tests today.

125: rad_soil, Site 30m tower, Mon 09-Apr-2007 08:22:43 PDT, soil samples
I've set up the corer to take 0-3 and 3-6cm cores.  I'm processing the entire 
3cm-thick core as one "aloquot".  I've been turning the oven off between 
samples.

4/9:
This should be considered close to the driest case.  The soil crumbled out of
the corer on my first try.  I undercut the corer with the trowel and tilted
it out of the hole to recover the final core.  Nevertheless, the clay-like
clumps do have some internal adhesion.

I got "bad TDR level" on the TRIME when using the normal probe at 1 location.
I then tried the removable probe and got a reading of 17.4-18.0%.
I then moved the removable to another site and got the 23.4% noted below.
Thus, I'm worried about the soil salinity -- we'll have to watch it.

NOTE!!! I left the removable probes in the 23.4 location.  Future readings
should use these.  They are about 2m to the South and slightly West of the
fixed soil probe stake (with the orange flagging).

4/12:
Slightly moister upper layer after 1mm of rain.  Still a lot of variability 
in TRIME readings, even using prongs that have had a lot of time to settle.  
Actual readings were: 24.1, 25.0, 26.1, 24.7.  
Some of the core dirt pushed out of 0-3 and also there was some spillage.  
Thus 0-3 probably is 0-3.6, 3-6 is 3.6-6.6cm.  I wouldn't use this 0-3 for 
density.

4/15:
Morning after irrigation AND rain, so probably the wettest it is going to get!
0-3 was not quite deep enough, so don't know about bulk density.
TRIME was reasonably consistent: 34.4, 34.6, 34.7.

Date	Time	TRIME	0-3 Wet	0-3 Dry	%	3-6 Wet	3-6 Dry	%	
4/9	07:30	23.4	79.9	74.7	7.0	98.3	88.5	11.1

124: communications, Site 30m tower, Sun 08-Apr-2007 18:47:12 PDT, power cycled hub in lower
We lost communications to the 30m tower this afternoon.  After trying lots of
things (and it not being quite as high a priority as all the other stuff that
Keith just discussed), I just cycled power on the hub, which appears to have
gotten things working.  Unfortunately, we still have the 16% packet dropouts
which is causing Gordon to be unable to update the hotfilm acquisition code.
Thus, the triple-film probes probably still have the channel shift problem
but the singles on hfarray should now be running his new code.

123: licor, Site horizontal array, Sun 08-Apr-2007 18:31:08 PDT, Horizontal Array Licor Sensors Cleaned
The licor sensors on the hotizontal array where cleaned today after the Saturday morning tree spraying.
122: kh2o, Site horizontal array, Sun 08-Apr-2007 18:29:56 PDT, Horizontal KH2O Sensors Cleaned
All of the horizontal array KH2O sensors where cleaned today after thr Saturday morning tree spraying.  Distilled water and QTips where used to clean them.
121: hot films, Site horizontal array, Sun 08-Apr-2007 18:28:42 PDT, Single Hot Films Reinstalled
The single hot films for the east, west, and center sections where reinstalled after the saturday tree spraying.
120: logistics, Site horizontal array, Sun 08-Apr-2007 18:25:54 PDT, Horizontal Array Lowered to Lowest Level
The east and west sections of the horizontal array where lowered to their 
lowest level.  The center tower sonics, TRHs, and data boxes were also lowered.
Started lowering west ~14:30.  Finished up ~17:25.

119: rad_soil, Site 30m tower, Sun 08-Apr-2007 18:24:07 PDT, Radiometer Cleaned
The radiometers just west of the 30 meter tower where cleaned today after the Saturday morning tree spraying.


118: pressure, Site 30m tower, Sun 08-Apr-2007 18:22:16 PDT, 11m pressure sensor tube on 30m Tower Filled
The 11 meter pressure sensor tube on the 30 meter tower was filled with water.  No leaks where detected.

Also added one more cable tie to the copper tubing at the top to lessen 
vibration of the tube.

Also Tee-d off Steve's Paro with Bill's xducer and connected the Paro to
lower's ttyS9, but still not getting data.

117: data system, Site 30m tower, Sun 08-Apr-2007 18:17:41 PDT, Power Board on Viper Data System Replaced
While examining the inside of the Viper Data System on the 30 meter tower, I noticed that the connector on the power board of the PC104 stack had a broken solder connection.  The power board from the spare PC104 stack was used to replace it.
116: kh2o, Site 30m tower, Sun 08-Apr-2007 18:16:16 PDT, KH2O Sensors on the 30m Tower Cleaned
All KH2O sensors where cleaned on the 30 meter tower after the Saturday morning spraying of the trees.  Distilled water and QTips where used to clean them.

115: hot films, Site 30m tower, Sun 08-Apr-2007 18:12:49 PDT, Reinstalled Triple Hot Film Elements
After the tree spraying Saturday morning, the triple wire Hot Films where reinstalled on the 30 meter tower starting the lowest and working upward.

P.S.
I  this was the time when we installed the new data acquistion code via
the spare Pocketec to avoid the channel slip problem.

Today is the big recovery from spraying -- sensor cleaning and hot-film reinstall.
We will move to the low-level array since we have to lower the array for hot-film
access anyway today.
We still have network issues with hftower, data dropout/skip problems with both
hot-film dsms, p' calibration issues, and p' noise issues to solve.

113: software, Site all, Sat 07-Apr-2007 17:42:51 PDT, finally configured ops5!
I finally got around to making this configuration ops5.  I've renamed the
configs simply high.xml, mid.xml, and low.xml, referring to the heights of
the horizontal array and config.xml simply points to them in turn.

I've assumed that the times that specify the ops periods are in GMT.

112: logistics, Site all, Sat 07-Apr-2007 16:54:13 PDT, spraying schedule
According to Antonio, spraying was delayed due to staff schedules and didn't
end up starting until 5AM this morning.  Our towers probably were sprayed from
6-7AM.  They have continued spraying today (despite marginally high winds),
but will stop for an Easter break tomorrow before finishing the field.  They
probably will need to spray Monday as well.

Thus, we should be able to reenter the field tomorrow late morning via the
long way around the perimeter of the field.  We won't be able to take the short
cut through the trees until at least Tuesday.

111: pressure, Site 30m tower, Sat 07-Apr-2007 16:51:28 PDT, config mods for upper
In an attempt to determine why the p' signal has a peak at 4Hz, we ran upper
with a base sampling rate of 400 (rather than 200) sps during the period 
~15:58-16:45.  Everything should be back to normal now, but upper has been
restarted several times.

Summary:
Horizontal array at mid-level, wide.  31 hrs of good data in present configuration.
We have confirmed problems with the hotfilm data acquisition systems intermittently loosing data
and scrambling the channel order.  We have a plan for a workaround, but Gordon may come up with
a real fix.  The network is also down to hftower, but we are not losing data since no probes are
installed.
There were some data issues associated with adding the p' sensor (which is the first time our
new data systems are acquiring "standard" analog data), but these now appear to be resolved.

109: communications, Site 30m tower, Sat 07-Apr-2007 11:19:40 PDT, hftower network problem
Yesterday afternoon we started having network problems with hftower and it is
now mostly down.  I reseated many of the cables at about 1730 yesterday but
found no obvious problems.  Next steps would be swapping cables between 
hftower and upper and checking the cable itself going up the tower from
lower [with the hub] and hftower.  These will have to wait until tomorrow
when we can reenter the field.  Since hotfilms are all down, we aren't losing
data in the meantime.

108: logistics, Site all, Sat 07-Apr-2007 11:03:10 PDT, AC power out to array?
Yesterday Antonio asked if he could turn off AC power to the towers while 
he was digging to replace sprinkler lines near our buried cable.  Since all
of our sensors are connected to batteries, this was fine.  We don't know if
he actually disconnected, but we didn't notice any adverse affects.

107: hot films, Site all, Sat 07-Apr-2007 10:52:59 PDT, hotfilms removed
To avoid damage from the spraying last night, we removed all hotfilms yesterday
afternoon.

~1430-1500 removed triple probes from 30m tower in the order bottom to top.
~1530-1700 removed single probes from horiz. array in the order west to east.

Gordon may have been playing with the adams hftower and hfarray during this
time, so the data during these removals may not have been recorded.

We also bagged some of the stuff on the ground and turned the guywire lights on.
Don and I drove by at night and confirmed that the lights are quite visible.

We also pulled the Pocketecs out of hftower and hfarray about 1800.  These have
now been copied to the trailer USB disks.


106: pressure, Site 30m tower, Sat 07-Apr-2007 09:48:18 PDT, p' tests
Gordon got the A/D code running early yesterday afternoon.  The main fix was
to change the Diamond A/D card to interrupt #7.

By that time, we
also had added a fuse to get Bill's transducer going.  Bill and I checked
whether his transducer gain was 25 mV/ub (as per the factory/Bedard spec) or
18.6 mV/ub (as per my test in the wind tunnel last month).  We lifted the
box several times by 1.5m, between ~15:05-15:18.  I'll be looking at the 
data soon, but our impression using the DVM was that 18.6 probably was correct.
dp = rho g H; rho~1.23, g~9.81, H~1.5 => 18Pa = 1.8ub => 45mV@25 mV/ub or 
33mV@18.6 mV/ub.  Our impression was that we were seeing closer to 33mV steps.
[Also, I need to calculate rho for the exact conditions at this time.]

104: pressure, Site 30m tower, Fri 06-Apr-2007 08:45:44 PDT, p' port connected
I just connected the quad-disk probe to the "water pipe".  This completes the
installation of the p' sensor (using Bill's transducer), with the exception of
needing to fill the pipe.

Don and I go to Davis today to fill my reservoir with N2, which I need to do
before deploying my transducer.

We expect Gordon to load the software to drive the A/D board later this morning.

103: adams, Site 30m tower, Thu 05-Apr-2007 18:49:10 PDT, upper data collection restarted
Apparently, upper didn't restart correctly when I did the A/D board install 
this morning.  All the Emerald channels (everything above 9m) were not being
recorded.  I restarted with an "adn" and "aup" and everything now appears
normal.  This may have been due to the GPS hanging when I powered up the
system (which was due to the lid of the box covering the GPS receiver when
it was open!).  I finally fixed the lid problem, but apparently the system
wasn't happy.

I'm sorry!!

[Tom wrote this this morning, but I'm only getting to inserting it into
logbook this evening.  Some actions have been done by now -- see entries
from earlier today....Steve]

On Site: Romberg, Oncley, Lenschow, Horst left this morning

Recent work:

Don finished raking the power line ditch.
We moved the horizontal array down to 5.5 m.

To Do: Measure new sonic heights and azimuths
	(better done at lower height)
       Take gravimetric soil moisture samples
       Remove hot films and turn on lights prior to spraying schedules
        for Friday night
       Measure tree diameters for Pete
       Replace broken hot film
       Install p' sensors

Summary: The hot film on sonic 5t is not working.  Presumably we broke it
         when we removed it and put it back in place to move the sonic.

101: whatever, Site 30m tower, Thu 05-Apr-2007 17:00:55 PDT, tower climbing
To begin the p' sensor install, I climbed at various times between 1445-1645.
The 11m sonic was tilted up from ~1445-1530.
100: hot films, Site horizontal array, Thu 05-Apr-2007 12:08:59 PDT, Replaced central hotfilm
The probe we removed from the central tower yesterday (SF6) did appear to be 
broken when I poked at it this morning.  Tom is taking it to Boulder to be
sent for repair.

We installed a new probe (SF2) at about 1140, but had the wrong DIP switch
settings.  Settings were corrected 1239 and the signal looks okay.

**** WARNING ****
The probe appeared to be slightly rotated, so I reoriented it more vertically.
I estimate that it was rotated ~5 degrees, with the bottom more Easterly than
the top.  I realize that the calibration procedure may have to be altered.

P.S. 4/10/07:
Under microscope inspection of SF6, Greg and SteveS found a minute separation
between one end of the hot film and its support.
99: hot films, Site horizontal array, Thu 05-Apr-2007 12:05:18 PDT, hfarray channel test
~1147: tested hotfilm channels by shorting each input sequentially for 10s each.
The order was: (frontpanel input channel) 0,1,2,3,4.

I'll look at the data to see if this ended up being correct.

Note that the central hotfilm (ch 2) was reporting (incorrect, but fluctuating)
voltages at about 2V.

[THE RESULTS!!! (in GMT, using: 
data_dump -d 6 -s 11 -p hfarray_20070405_183000.dat | more)]

This file just happened to have a data dropout example, that shifted the
data from being reported correctly (broken hotfilm voltage of 2.6V was on
[0-based] ch2), to being shifted by 2 columns.

The shorts of frontpanel inputs 0,1,2,3,4 appeared in data columns 3,4,0,1,2
(during the period 18:48:37-18:50:18).  Note that the shorts appear as "nan"
and that disconnected inputs float to >3V.

98: hot films, Site horizontal array, Wed 04-Apr-2007 17:50:49 PDT, hot films on horizontal array
Here is a sample data dump from hfarray.  It appears that the last channel 
may be bad.  It is highter than the rest and more constant with  time.

[After talking with Gordon, this Viper was rebooted ~1000?? and the channel 
order changed!  Now that we've replaced the probe, it isn't easy to dump these
data.]

Recent work:

Yesterday we diagnosed the temperature error on the horizontal array
and swapped the upper TRH with the 6 m TRH from the vertical tower.
The upper TRH, now at 6 m, appears to be low by 0.1 deg C.

To Do: Measure new sonic heights and azimuths
        (better done at lower height)
       Measure LAI
       Take gravimetric soil moisture samples
       Remove hot films and turn on lights prior to spraying schedules
        for Friday night
       Measure tree diameters for Pete

Summary: Data generally look ok; so far we have 47 hours, 55 minutes of
         good wind directions for the 1.72 m sonic spacing at a height
         of 10 m.  We plan to lower the array to 5 m this afternoon.

93: trh, Site horizontal array, Tue 03-Apr-2007 10:53:02 PDT, horizontal array TRH's
Don and I compared the horizontal array TRH's to those on the vertical tower
in an attempt to determine which of the two might be out of calibration.
The results were somewhat inconclusive, but with a tendency for the TRH at
the greater height to perhaps be reading too low.

Perhaps a more definitive answer could be obtained by first filtering the
data by wind direction.

This afternoon, we swapped the 6 m TRH (s/n 206) with the top (10.6 m)
TRH (s/n 101) on the horizontal array:
14:00 removed 6 m TRH
14:15 mounted in at 10.6 m on horizontal array
14:35 mounted 10.6 m TRH from horizontal array at 6 m

Don and I concluded that S/N 206 is reading 0.1 degree too low

Removed 10.6 m TRH (101) from the vertical tower at 16:03.
Removed 9.6 m TRH (704) from the horizontal array at 16:11
Moved 6 m TRH (206) to 9.6 m on horizontal array at 16:16
Reinstalled 10.6 m TRH (101) at 10.6 m at 16:18
Installed 9.6m TRH (704) at 6 m on vertical tower at 16:23

The 9.6m TRH looks okay, so swapped sonics back to previous
configuration:

Removed 9.6 m (704) from vertical tower at 17:30
	Required some repair of joint between aspirator and electronics
Removed 10.6 m (101) from horizontal array at 17:35
Lost track of time
Moved 6 m (206) up to 10.6 m
Mounted 9.6 m (704) back at 9.6 m
Mounted 10.6 m (101) at 6 m on vertical tower
Finished at 18:05

Final configuration:

6 m on vertical tower = original 10.6 m on horizontal array (101)
which is ~0.1 degree too low.

9.6 m on horizontal array is original (704)

10.6 m on horizontal array came from 6 m on vertical tower (206)





92: sonic, Site horizontal array, Tue 03-Apr-2007 09:25:51 PDT, Sonic 3t stopped at 10:10, April 2

Restarted at 9:26, April 3.  

Sonic stopped at 10:10 on April 2, which was around the time that Keith was
cleaning up the cable tangle that resulted from the reconfiguration of the
array.  From the sonic "diag" it appears that Keith did this work from
~9:00 - 10:30 April 2.

Recent work:

Yesterday we installed the remainder of the hot films on the
horizontal array

To Do: Measure new sonic heights and azimuths
       Measure LAI
       Take gravimetric soil moisture samples
       Remove hot films and turn on lights prior to spraying schedules
       for Friday night
       Diagnose problem with horizontal array TRH's.

Summary: Realized that there is an error in the temperatures on the
         horizontal array.

79: sonic, Site horizontal array, Sun 01-Apr-2007 15:56:26 PDT, Changed horizontal array dimensions
On Saturday, March 31, we spent the most of the day expanding the horizontal
array to a sonic spacing of 1.72 m and raising the array back up to 10 m.
First we lowered the array to near ground level for easy access, then we
spread out the sonics, and then we raised it up to the former height at the top
of the canopy.  This was begun around 10-11 AM and completed at 8 PM.

74: whatever, Site 30m tower, Fri 30-Mar-2007 15:14:57 PDT, Heights of scintillometer and particle counter
Jan Kleissl plans to install his scintillometer on the 30 m tower.  We
are measuring 4-component radiation at a height of 16 m, so we would
like to minimize the influence of the scintillometer as much as
possible.  The influence of scintillometer on the radiation measurements
will decrease with the cosine of the angle from the zenith at which 
the instrument is seen by the radiometers and with the square of the distance 
between the scintillometer and the radiometers.

Let z be the height difference between the radiometers and the
scintillometer and x be the horizontal spacing between them, roughly the
length of the radiometer boom.  Then the cosine of the viewing angle is
z/sqrt(x^2 + z^2) and the distance between them is sqrt(x^2 + z^2).
The relative influence at different mounting heights is then

z/(x^2+z^2)^1.5

The radiometer boom is roughly 1 m long.
The maximum influence occurs at z = x/sqrt(2) = 0.7x, where the relative
influence is equal to 1/(sqrt(2)*1.5^1.5) = 0.385

The influence is 10% of its peak value at z = 5 m or a height of 21 m.  

There are sonics at heights of 18 m and 23 m, so halfway between them
would be 20.5 m, where the influence is 12% of its peak value.

Andreas Held is installing his particle counter at the 14 m sonic.
According to Andrew, he can place it a "meter or so" above or below
the sonic, so we should put it as far below as Andreas thinks feasible.
Mounting his instrument at the height of the boom would have an
influence of 46% of its peak value.  1 m lower at 13 m would place it 
3 m below the radiometers and reduce the influence to 25% of its peak value; 
2 m lower at 12 m would reduce the influence to 15% of its peak value.

73: sonic, Site horizontal array, Fri 30-Mar-2007 14:00:19 PDT, sonic heights
I measured the heights of sonics in narrow array by using a theodolite to
measure the elevation angles of the top and bottom of the vertical, 
'forward' face of the sonic 'box'.  The height of this face is ~4.33 cm.  
The theodolite was at a height of 1.82 m and 33.35 m in front of 
the sonic 'box'.  The sonics were at heights of 1.99 and 2.99 m 
above the ground.

At a distance of 33.35 m (sonics7b,7t), the elevation angles of the sonics 
above horizontal would be atan((1.99-1.82)/33.35) = 20 minutes and 
atan((2.99-1.82)/33.35) = 2 degs. 

3/31/07:  Note that the distance of the TRH is 
(33.35+1.08)/cos(Azimuth - Azimuth[7]) 

Data are Deg.min.sec

Sonic height = 1.82m + 33.35m*tan(90 - (bottom+top)/2)/cos(Azimuth-Azimuth[7])

Also change the heights in the section

a bazillion of them (pays to have quick vi hands, or
you can do global changes with this vi command:

1116,1348s/9.6m/4.9m/g

where you figure out the line number range by looking at
the info line in vi.

Then you're done editing, check for syntax errors:

ck_xml ops2.xml

It will either report an error, or a long list of sensors and variables
names if things are OK.

edit configs.xml. Add an entry for the new config.  Here are the
entries for ops1 and ops2. The times are in UTC. Note
that the times cannot overlap.  Update the end
time of the previous ops.

  
    

  
  

To check the configs:

proj_configs -l configs.xml

Assuming the new operations period has started (the begin
time has passed) then shut down dsm_server:

ps -ef | fgrep dsm_server
kill -HUP pid

Then edit $ISFF/scripts/run_server.sh
to change the xml file (when I get the
time I can make that step unnecessary).

Then run it

$ISFF/scripts/run_server.sh

Then run statsproc:

Also edit Vazimuth.q as described in Entry #54.

54: software, Site horizontal array, Sun 25-Mar-2007 16:42:29 PDT, fix dat.Vazimuth for new array heights
With new array heights, it is necessary to edit dat.Vazimuth in the file

Need to increase variables aa1 and aa2 by 18 for every new pair of
array heights.  Note '36'  corresponding to 2 array heights x 18 sonics.
Note that these might be other than exactly 180 if we had measured them.

    aa1 = rep(180,36) + 90
    aa2 = rep(180,36) + 90

Also need to increase the array name vector:

53: leaf area index, Site all, Sun 25-Mar-2007 11:32:50 PDT, leaf area density profiles
Took out the LAI-2000 yesterday (3/24).

Drove the Cherry Picker south-ease down the angled road from 
the yard until it turns east.  I went south four trees.

First measurement is contained in file #6 on the logger.  I did not
have a measuring tape at this time.

I then drove the cherry picker over to the 30m tower.  At the tall
tower, I took three measurement profiles.  Two were one tree north 
of the tower and the last was three trees south of the tower.   
The measurements were taken such that the LAI-2000 probe was located
at the top of the booms that hold the TRH sensors.  These profiles
are contained in files #7, #8 and #9.  In taking these measurements, I
had the sensor 90deg blocked (270deg open) to block me out of the 
measurement.  The highest measurement was at the 9m height because
the cherry picker would only go that high.

Returned this morning (3/25) to improve on the profiles taken yesterday.
These profiles were now taken from the eastern-most and western-most
towers of the horizontal array.  I used the 180deg blocker for these
measurements to block both myself and the towers from the sensor.
The highest measurement for these profiles was 11m.  I then took a
measurement every meter as I descended the tower.  So there are now
twelve measurements per profile (from 11 -> 0 m).  The good measurements
are contained in Files #13 (east, pointed south) and #14 (west, pointed
north).

I had to stop taking measurements because the sun came out.  However,
in the future, I recommend another profile be take from the 30m tower.
I also recommend staying with this structure of once per meter.

To take the measurements:

	1) power on by pressing: 'Power'
	2) start logging data by pressing: 'Log'
	3) press 'Enter' twice to take the entries as they are.
	4) start at 11 m, point and level the sensor, press and let
		go of the button on the wand.  you'll hear a beep that
		starts the measurement, followed by a beep that the
		measurement is complete.
	5) move down 1 m.  repeat.
	6) last measurement is with the sensor sitting on the ground.
	7) the logger will store the info.  Will offload later.

If you change the number of levels in the profile, you need to modify
the stored program.

(Still) To Do:

Install surface radiometers (waiting for completion of orchard leaf blowing
and mulching).
Install rain gauge.
Complete installation of tower hot films and deploy sensors.
Install sodar repeater.
Measure LAI.
Complete installation of guy wire lights.
Measure sonic heights and orientation.

output by ttyS16 upper.  Problem was port ttyS16 on front panel.
Steve moved internal S16 ribbon cable to ttyS19 front panel port.


46: kh2o, Site all, Sat 24-Mar-2007 11:33:23 PDT, kh2o calibration files
The cal files are in
$ISFF/projects/CHATS/ISFF/cal_files and
$ISFF/cal_files/kryptonNNNN.

The ones in CHAT/ISFF/cal_files have names
corresponding to their location on the tower or array.

Those files just do an include "kryptonNNNN" on a given
date.

For example, krypton_3t.dat:
2007 Feb 10 00:00:00    include "krypton1133"

That means for cal data after Feb 10 look in krypton1133.
In krypton1133 is the complete cal history for 1133.

You can check the kryptonXXXX files in $ISFF/cal_files. They
should have Steve's latest values.

If one swapped in another kryton at 3t, say on Apr 13, you
would add another record to krypton_3t.dat, like so:

2007 Feb 10 00:00:00    include "krypton1133"
2007 Apr 13 18:40:00    include "krypton1391"

43: base, Site all, Fri 23-Mar-2007 12:51:17 PDT, media maintenance
It will take 40 days to fill up east's pocketec, which has the
biggest data files I believe (1.5 Gbyte/day).  pocketecs are 60 Gbyte.

The network is running well. I think we have 100% recovery on
the base system.

So, copying pocketecs is relatively low priority.  Maybe once a week on
the tower, and on config changes on the array.

I need to create the script to copy the data and clear the pocketec.

The hotfilms are another matter, since we're not sending that data
over the net. The 3D system generates 6.2 Gbytes/day if left
running continuously.  So one should swap that drive every week
or so if we run it often.  The 5 1D probes generate 4.8 Gbyte/day.

There should have been two spare pocketecs in the hotfilm shipment.

If you think the trailer is safe from theft, then perhaps you
could leave isff7 connected, and we can do a daily copy from
isff1 to 7.

Recent sensor work:

Yesterday we replaced two sonics that were missing data, one at 6 m on the
30 m tower and 9b on the horizontal array.  The problems we were having
were discussed with Larry Jacobsen at Campbell and this was a problem that
they had not previously seen.  The sonics appeared to be periodically
resetting themselves due to an inability to process 60 Hz data quicky
enough.  For sonic 9b, we had to lower the array in order to change the
sonic.

Yesterday we lowered the horizontal array, now at 10 m, in about 75 minutes 
and raised it again in about 45 minutes.

On Wednesday, March 21, we replaced the 6 m TRH which was reading ~0.3 degC
too low.

On Sunday, March 18, we replaced the 9.6 m TRH on the horizontal array.

To Do:

Install surface radiometers (waiting for completion of orchard leaf blowing
and mulching).
Install rain gauge.
Complete installation of tower hot films and deploy sensors.
Install sodar repeater.
Measure LAI.
Complete installation of guy wire lights.
Measure sonic heights and orientation.

Installed TRH 502, with bad T, at 1.5 m to test RH.
Installed at 11:02 PDT.

16:55 PDT: Replaced original TRH, S/N 004, at 1.5 m.  
17:40: Took several unplug/plug sequences to get it going.

Replaced sonic 9b, S/N 0856, with S/N 121.
Removed temporary cable for sonic 9b used to test whether cable was
causing dropped sample.

37: sonic, Site horizontal array, Thu 22-Mar-2007 17:03:04 PDT, Lowered horizontal array to replace sonic 9b.
Lowered horizontal array in order to replace sonic 9b and to mount the eight
outer sonic boxes on the backs of the the horizontal ASTER towers.
Formerly they were on the upper south faces.

Started lowering at 11:40 PDT, finished at 12:56
Started raising at 15:20 PDT, finished at 16:05.



36: sonic, Site 30m tower, Thu 22-Mar-2007 16:58:09 PDT, 6 m sonic replacement
This morning, we replaced sonic 0740 at 6 m on vertical tower with sonic 0119.
Moved sonic 0740 to TRH boom at 1.70 m + 32 cm.  Thus sonic is at a 
height  of 1.70 m + 32 cm + 5 cm = 2.07 m.

Plugged sonic 0740 into 1.5 m serial port, lower ttyS1.

17:55: plugged 1.5 m sonic, S/N 0673, back into lower ttyS1.

3/23:  From missing kh2o data at 1.5m, I see that sonic 0740 was 
       on ttyS1 from 11:20 - 17:55 PDT

35: sonic, Site 30m tower, Wed 21-Mar-2007 18:04:38 PDT, Changed 6 m sonic "dc" parameter to 0
I talked  with Larry Jacobsen at CSI about sonic sampling problem.   It appears
that the sonic just can't keep up with 60 Hz.  It does not miss samples at
30 Hz and Larry speculates that we might fix this by narrowing the time window
whithin which the sonic looks for the received signal (my interpretation of
what he told me).  The way to narrow the window is to decrease the DC
parameter to 0, which is by default 1 for 60 Hz, using the terminal command
'dc -' (dc + increments DC).  Note that the default DC parameter is larger for
slower sampling rates.

So far I have been unsuccessful reducing the DC parameter for sonic 9b while
it is misbehaving.  I could presumably do it  for sonic 6m because it was
behaving at the time.

In the process, I did not get the sonic going again until 18:12.
34: sonic, Site horizontal array, Wed 21-Mar-2007 14:43:18 PDT, restarted sonic 9b
I did not restart sonic 9b when I was trying to dump the configuration this
morning.  I just restarted it Mar 21 at 14:43 PDT.

Note this sonic is S/N 0856, calibrated 28 June 2006.


33: sonic, Site 30m tower, Wed 21-Mar-2007 13:24:58 PDT, Changed 6m data rate to 10 Hz
Changed 6m sonic data output rate to 10 Hz to try to fix.  Short data dump
suggests better behavior.  Switched back to 60 Hz and data bad again.

Did this test between 1300 and 1330.
32: whatever, Site base, Wed 21-Mar-2007 12:57:51 PDT, how to dump data

31: trh, Site 30m tower, Wed 21-Mar-2007 10:44:24 PDT, Replaced 6 m TRH
Steve replaced the 6 m TRH with the one removed from horizontal array, 
S/N 206.

The original 6 m shield had a loose inner tube, so moved the 1.5 m shield to
6 m.  The 1.5 m trh has no shield at this time.

3/22:  The temperature profiles look much better now.

At some point today Steve fixed the shield and installed it at 1.5 m.

30: kh2o, Site 30m tower, Wed 21-Mar-2007 09:14:32 PDT, 10 m kh2o mount changed
On Tuesday, Mar 20, Steve changed the 10 m krypton from the south to the
north side of the sonic in order to not interfere with the hot film.

29: sonic, Site horizontal array, Tue 20-Mar-2007 10:18:11 PDT, replaced serial cable for sonic 9b
Steve and I replaced the serial cable for sonic 9b around 9:30 PDT, Tuesday,
March 20.  Sonic 9b is still dropping samples.

3/21:  This did not solve the missing sample problem.

28: rad_soil, Site 30m tower, Tue 20-Mar-2007 08:55:38 PDT, radiometer footprint
I have calculated the footprint for a downward looking radiometer:

The footprint is h^2/(r^2 + h^2)^2 where h is the height of the radiometer
and r is radial distance on the surface from a point immediately below
the radiometer.  Thus the footprint has a maximum directly below the 
radiometer equal to 1/h^2, drops to 0.5/h^2 at r/h ~ 0.6, 0.25 at
r = 1, and 0.01 at r=3.

The cumulative footprint is r^2/(r^2 + h^2).  The cumulative footprint
equals 0.5 at r/h = 1, 0.9 at r/h = 3, and 0.99 at r/h = 10.





27: whatever, Site horizontal array, Mon 19-Mar-2007 15:16:02 PDT, /media/isff1
For addition to the logbook:

As of Mar 19, 19:36:28 UTC we're recording both
sensor data and photos on the new 720 Gbyte USB2 disk,
/media/isff1.

All previous CHATS data, and photos have been copied to it
from /data.

Current plans are to keep /media/isff1 permanently
mounted on the aster system.

A 400 Gbyte disk should arrive today.  That will
be the backup disk.  The plan is to do intermittent
copies to that disk, and bring it back to the hotel
for safe-keeping.  With two backup disks, one could
be brought back to Boulder from time to time.

So far the undersampling error has not re-occured.

Swapped cables back at 12:08 PDT

23: sonic, Site horizontal array, Mon 19-Mar-2007 11:46:23 PDT, swapped sonics 8b and 9b
Swapped sonics 8b (ttyS6) and 9b (S7) on east adam at 10:34 PDT.  
The under-sampling error followed the sonic (and cable).

Swapped cables back at 12:03 PDT

20: trh, Site horizontal array, Sun 18-Mar-2007 10:31:35 PDT, 9.6m trh at horizontal array
note: the original entry should have been:

"Steve replaced S/N 206 with S/N 704.  Data look good."

TRH serial numbers were checked with "data_dump"
and confirmed that S/N 101 was in the upper position on 
the array, and was not swapped out on 3/18.

5: sonic, Site horizontal array, Wed 14-Mar-2007 10:43:35 PDT, Horizontal array data, dimensions
We began collecting data from the horizontal array yesterday afternoon using 
12 V batteries to power the system, since we are waiting for power cable to 
install AC power.  The main purpose was to collect data to see how 
things are working.

Around 4-5 pm PDT we raised the array to 10 m.  It is in the narrow 
configuration with a sonic spacing of 50 cm.  The tops of the sonic booms
are at 10.6 m and 9.6 m.  The sonics are numbered 1-9 from west to east.

3/16/07
The sonics themselves are at 9.65 m and 10.65 m.

3/26/07
Note that the small horizontal array spans one row opening.  Every year,
the orchardists trim (hedge) every third row.  The location of the small
horizontal array was trimmed two years ago, so is one of the densest row
openings.  The wide array will span two rows, one trimmed last year (east) 
and the other trimmed two years ago (west).

3/27/07
Discovered today that the 7th sonic from the west is at the mid-point
between tree rows.  Trees immediately south of the west array are 7.36 m apart.


4: rad_soil, Site 30m tower, Wed 14-Mar-2007 10:35:05 PDT, Soil sensor location, s/numbers
I installed the soil sensors at a depth of 5 cm, south of the sawhorse and at
the boundary between bare ground and clover.  See previous logbook entry for
discussion of surface types. They are close to being directly west of a tree.

I installed the soil heat flux plate at 5 cm with the dot on top.  I installed 
the ECH2O and TPO1 sensors with a vertical orientation to avoid blocking 
vertical water migration.  I installed the soil temperature probe at a
45 degree angle starting near the surface.

The serial numbers are:

HFT	14983123	38.2 W/m^2 per V
Qsoil	No serial number
TPO1	200239		175.8 uV/degK
Soil T	STP 94017

3: rad_soil, Site 30m tower, Wed 14-Mar-2007 10:27:50 PDT, Installed sawhorse
The radiation sawhorse has been installed at the 30 m tower.  It is
located one tree row north and 3 rows west of the tower.
  
There are two distinct types of surfaces.  The surface between the trees in
a  N/S row is bare ground.  The surface between the N/S tree rows has a
ground cover of clover.  I oriented the sawhorse in a N/S direction and
aligned the horizontal beam along a border between clover and bare ground
in order to sample equally both types of surface.  

The height of the middle of the horizontal sawhorse beam is 2 m +/- a few 
centimeters.  It is 120 cm west of the tree line and centered N/S between
two trees.

Motosat working
	Established networking so Gordon can 'get in'

	Login to Motosat for adjustments:
	web browser to 192.168.1.1
	admin and pwd is .... (on aster pc there's a 'save' on it so
	you can get in, but otherwise we'll need to reset this)

	iss notes on this gizmo (some addressing is different)
	www.eol.ucar.edu/iss/SatelliteInternet

	Addresses:
	192.168.0.1	modem
	192.168.1.1	router lan
	192.168.0.2	router wan
	192.168.1.2	ASTER's eth2 interface that the motosat will
			fwd ssh's to.
			if you change this, use fedora-admin-network
			tool and restart the interface.

	
	
Initial 'wireless' working
	Still no power to array but a 'battery test' demo'd that the
	comms from base to array/tower is working a nominal.

	AP24 internal is on tripod next to base pointing under the
	trees to eant-A roughly 75' north of the array.  NOTE: this
	uses a 10m 'serial' cable extension (ie extra capacitance bad)
	to a ~40' cat5e cable.

	AP24 external antenna is on top of 5section pam mast roughly
	pointing to tall tower (180deg antenna)


Ping tests
	using
	ping -s 1048 -i .25 east
	ping -s 1048 -i .25 upper
	i saw over 15min. 0% loss with avg ~9mS per packet

	see: /etc/hosts on aster for ip addresses and for naming to
	ssh/ping such as:
	ping
