3: soil, Site , Thu 20-Jul-2000 17:18:52 PDT, Bulk Density (from OASIS98 lb# 121)

• Previous - Next - Index

A bouyancy method was devized to determine the bulk density of the soil.
The soil at OASIS is compact and lends itself to the clod method of bulk
density determination. A chunk of the uppermost ~10cm of soil is brought
into the trailer and, using a plasterers trowel and a small saw, is shaped
into regular rectangular prisms, 6 cm deep and ~ 4 cm on a side.

The prisms are weighed fresh, baked for two days and then weighed dry. 
Melted parawax is dribbled all over the dried clod using a heat gun so
the clod is impregnated with wax and made water proof without altering 
its form or volume. 
Conventionally the volume of the clod is then determined by displacement 
of the water level in a graduated container.

A second method of determining volume involves weighing the waxed clod
in air and then suspended in water. Fortunately the soil balance has
a suspension hook which enable this to be done.

Apparent wt of waxed clod suspd in water = wt of waxed clod - bouyancy

Bouyancy of waxed clod = Volume of waxed clod * density of water
  
      M.wx.sus        =   M.wx   - V.wx * 1
      V.wx            =   M.wx   - M.wx.sus

Bulk density of dry clod  =  Mass of dry clod / Volume of dry clod
      blkdens             =  M.dry            /   V.dry
        
Volume of dry clod   =  Volume of waxed clod
        V.dry        =        V.wx            
                     =  M.wx - M.wx.sus

        blkden       =  M.dry / M.wx - M.wx.sus 
             

Example: The clod made from the sample collected 5 Jul, weighed dry 7 Jul and
had bouyancy determined 15 Jul

   Top 6cm clod dry weight              , M.dry       = 120.3g
   Top 6cm clod waxed weight            , M.wx        = 136.4g
   Top 6cm clod waxed, suspended weight , M.wx.sus    =  50.4g
        
   blkdens = M.dry / ( M.wx  - M.wx.sus )
           = 120.3 / ( 136.4 - 50.4 )
           = 120.3 /  86.0
           = 1.40 g . cm-3

Crude calculation of the magnitude of the storage term, S

Typical heating/cooling is 15 degree in 12 hr (= 50000s)
If a simple linear heating and cooling at the surface occured, then:

   0.05m3,       1degreeK,    1s,       1.9 MJ m-3.degreeK-1;  0.095 MJ.s.m-2

That is, to a simple approximation, if the 5cm depth of soil is taken to be
heated uniformly during the day, and cooled uniformly during the night,
the storage term corresponds to a energy influx/outflux of ~ +_30 W.m-2

10: soil, Site all, Sat 22-Jul-2000 10:10:27 PDT, Soil Sampling Schedule

• Previous - Next - Index

A proposed soil sampling strategy and schedule:


Bulk density:
             The soil bulk density should not change over time. Hence only one
 measurement is required at each site. At a time when the site is dry make a
determination of the bulk densities of the furrow and the ridge soils. 

 The furrow soil is consolidated and bulk density may be determined using 
 the waxed clod method. Sometime when the site is dry, cut, with the saw, 
 a 0 - 5 cm deep, approximately 5 cm x 5 cm block from one of the "tiles" on 
 the floor of the furrow. Dry in the oven for two days weigh, wax, weigh in 
 air and then immersed in water. Determine displacement volume and calculate 
               bulk density = dry weight/ displacement volume

             The ridge soil is much looser and another method may be
 appropriate. When the soil is dry, take a representative sample from the
 top 5 cm to fill the graduated beaker to the 100 ml level. Try to maintain
 the original consolidation of the soil. Pour the entire 100 ml into a tared
 Al dish. Bake for two days, weigh and calculate 
               bulk density = dry weight/ beaker volume


Gravimetric water fraction:
             For each site make a determination of the gravimetric water 
 fraction for the furrow and the ridge at three times throughout the program.
 Make the determinations:
               when the mud is firm enough to walk on ~ 10%
               when the soil is at it's driest just before irrigation ~ 5%
               half-way in between these conditions          ~7%
 These gravimetric water fraction determinations will serve to calibrate the
 soil moisture sensors installed in the soil at each site.

             For the furrow soils dig out a sample using the trowel, seal in
 a tupperware container, blend, take three ~30g subsamples, weigh fresh, bake
 for two days and then weigh dry. Calculate 
      gravimetric water fraction = (fresh weight - dry weight)/ dry weight

             For the ridge soils use the trowel to make a face cut, exposing
 10 cm of the ridge soil, then use the scoop to obtain a represenative 0-5cm
 sample. Seal in a tupperware container, blend, take three ~30g subsamples,
 weigh fresh, bake for two days and then weigh dry. Calculate 
      gravimetric water fraction = (fresh weight - dry weight)/ dry weight

General:
Today we went into our sonic intercomparison period, with several sensors
deployed at site 8.  From West to East:
Basel - Gill HS + krypton (215)
        CSAT (214)
	(9 furrows south of the main tower line, 21m from Dutch ASTER tower)
Hong Kong - CSAT+vaisalaT (213, out of 23X logger, tapped from laptop)
        (This isn't connected to us yet, but is going into Heping's laptop.)
	(6 furrows south of the main tower line, 14m from Dutch ASTER tower)
Bayreuth - CSAT+krypton (212, out of 23X logger)
	(3 furrows south of the main tower line, 7m from Dutch ASTER tower)
KNMI -  KD5cm + krypton (only locally stored by KNMI)

The ATI sonic at site 8 is now hanging unconnected on the UW tower.


Weather: 
It is always hot and clear here!  Therefore, only exceptional
events will be noted.  Today's exceptional event was the presence of
about wispy (hook) cirrus over about 0.1-0.2 of the sky.

Notes:
- The T has been reading high (during the day only?) on T/RH at site 6, but we 
don't have a spare.  The RH appears to be okay.
- The 10m ASTER tower and sensors are ready to go up at site 7, except for
the UW sonic (see below).  This wasn't our highest priority yet.
- No boom angles have been shot yet.
- We will need to do regular cleanings of kryptons and rad sensors.
- We will need to keep making soil measurements, now that Tony is gone.

Spares: UW destined for site 7 was spiking -- perhaps bad solder connection
        spare PAM T/RH not responding to SBUS commands
        One spare baro port is clogged.

I just swapped the 220 VAC tap for Wim from site 8 to site 7.  I also took
this opportunity to make 2 110 VAC taps from the transformer at site 7.
It is now configured:

Site 8:
X3-N  110 VAC power to ASTER power distribution box

Site 7:
X1-X2  220 VAC power to ASTER AC breakout box (for Wim)
X1-N   110 VAC power socket for daisy power distrib. to be plugged into soon
X3-N   110 VAC power to chem shelter, including air conditioner, auxiliary
       power distribution box (by Psyc. profile), and +24VDC supply.
       daisy is now also connected to this using a normal extension cord
       to the line conditioner outlets, but will be changed in the conversion
       to ops2.

30: power, Site , Sun 30-Jul-2000 18:30:15 PDT, power draw

• Previous - Next - Index

We blew the 20A breaker to the entire tower array. Thus, I've checked a few
things now that we are close to the final configuration:

Sites 8 and 9 together draw ~8A @220
Site 7 breaks down to:
- Air conditioner (on low cool, after initial surge of >15A): 6-7A @110
- Cup & Psyc power supplies & light bulb: 1A @110
- Dutch data system, etc.: 1A @220
- daisy & power supply (TECA alone: 4A @110): 5A @110
Total: ~7.5A @220

Grand total ~16A @220.  
(Measured out of trailer: 18A, thus the cable and transformer must represent 
a 10% loss.)

This is less than, but pretty close to, the 20A breaker rating!
The main xfmr has breakers to each of the sites:
7 - 15A
8 - 20A
9 - 15A?
Thus, none of these are being exceeded individually.

I don't know how to reduce the load at this point, without sacrificing something
important.

Writin' CDs:

  A day's archive of ebex data is about 500-600 Mbytes, which
  fits on a 650 Mbyte CD.

  To write a CD from clover (not aster):

	1. check what's online:
		cd /data/big/aster/projects/EBEX00/raw_data/all
		ls

	2. Press the eject button on the CD-R 4x4x16 drive on clover,
	   and insert a blank CD.

	3. run the bkcd.all script. This can be run from any directory:
		bkcd.all  month day
	   where month and day are the numeric month and day to be
	   written, for example, for August 5th:
		bkcd.all 8 5 

	4. The script makes a copy of the day's files on /data/bigger,
	   moves the files to
		 /data/big/aster/projects/EBEX00/raw_data/cdbackup/all
	   copies them to the CD, verifies the contents of the CD,
	   deletes the files from /data/big, ejects the CD, and
	   prints a label (All without complaining or getting paid,
	   while you're sitting on your butt watching the lights blink!)
		
	5. Assuming everything works, wait until the manual feed light
	   appears on the printer.  Then insert a cd label sheet
	   (made by  CDSTOMPER) into the back of the printer,
	   against the right side guide, printable side facing you,
           with the printable label at the bottom of the sheet.
	   (One sheet contains two labels, and can be fed through
	   the printer twice, from either end).

	6. Peel the label, put it over the spindle on the CDSTOMPER,
	   sticky side up.  Place the CD on the spindle (LABEL side DOWN!
	   DATA side UP!), and press down.  Put the CD in a plastic
	   holder and file in the box.

  If you get what appear to be CD write errors, then try lightly
  spraying the CD drawer and inside the drive with the canned
  duster.  Then try again with a new CD, using the same command.

  The script also writes a log file on $ASTER/projects/EBEX00/cdlogs,
  which you can refer to if things are not working.

Gordon just got internet access working through one of the cell phones.
It (the Nextel: 303-994-5997) is hanging on the wall, connected through 
its internal modem to a serial port on clover.  With the cable connected,
it cannot be charged, so we must remember to disconnect it and charge it
up overnight.

To use (on clover, as aster):
ppp_up 
  This command:
  - places call using cell phone
  - connects to cnenet (Hanford ISP)
  - (tries to) set routing to linus via cnenet (but fails since not root)
Then can: ssh -l  128.117.80.208 (to connect to linus)
In theory, netscape also should work through cnenet, but didn't appear to yet.
A log of the ppp session is in /etc/log/asppp.log, but need to be root to view)
If clover reboots, routing to linus needs to be done manually:
route add host 128.117.80.208 206.169.217.5 1

With ppp up, Gordon can log in remotely if he knows our address.  The easiest
way to get it is from:
ifconfig -a
where the last line is something like:
	inet 206.169.217.172 --> 206.169.217.4 netmask ffffff00

After having the 20A,220 array breaker blow again, we decided to replace
it with a 30A size.  The 8kVA transformer can handle >33 according to
Kurt and the distribution cabling is 8Ga. to there and 10Ga. from there.
We had been running too close to the edge and the increased inefficiencies
due to the heat and investigators periodically plugging in new loads
push us over the edge.  The 2nd breaker pop occurred in conjunction
with the trailer air conditioning coming on; no doubt sagging the voltage
to the array, and thus more current.

Wed, 8/2 Fuse blown:
In the main array 8kVA distribution transformer's LEA/Dynatech Surge Arrestor.
It is a 30A,125V fuse which is on one of the 2 legs of the 220 input.
The load to the #7 array includes the air-conditioner and it is possible
that caused the failure.   There is likely an imbalance on the 2 legs
which has not been fully measured.
The fuse was replaced and the power came back up apparently without problems.

NUW3 at s9 died yesterday evening.  With rserial, it seemed to have the

I don't know why this problem occurred in the first place.

48: power, Site stn9_marigold, Thu 03-Aug-2000 15:11:11 PDT, s9 now powered by base

• Previous - Next - Index

To reduce some of our power problems, we've rerouted power to have all of
s9 connected directly to the second 220VAC outlet on the PAM base, and
not to the 8 KVA transformer near s8.  Our load should now be:

s7: 8A @ 220VAC operating, 13+A when A/C starts.  On 30A circuit shared with
    s8, through 15A breaker at 8KVA xfrmr

s8: 3A @ 220VAC.  On 30A circuit shared with s7, through 20?A breaker at 8KVA
    xfrmr

s9: 4?A @220VAC.  On 20A circuit also supplying s10.

s10: ~3A @220VAC.

P.S. Outages and brownouts throughout the Calif. power grid have made 
national news over the last few days associated with high temperatures.
Thus, some of our problems may be outside our control (though the UPS
in the base hasn't shown any alarms.)

PPS: I accidentally shutdown the UPS simply by connecting the Toughbook
to the DB9 connector on the back.  This shouldn't have happened!

51: temp_rh, Site stn3, Fri 04-Aug-2000 19:07:23 PDT, TRH swap / Possible EVE problems

• Previous - Next - Index

The TRH has not been working for a few days.
Arriving at station confirmed no reply on the sbusdebug.
Attempted to 'stop' eve and got:
	memPartFree: Invalid block 0x157d04 in partition 0x70392
at that point the watchdog/reset board did it's thing but the
reboot failed with the same errors
	memPartFree: Invalid block 0x16b078 in partition 0x70392
power cycling the box brought everything back up including the
trh.
To be on the safe side I swapped the trh anyway
Old TRH: #702
New TRH: #703

Possible EVE memory problem:
The trh was down during the hot part of the day during the last 4
days.
Note: This station has the eve electronics box mounted laying down
      rather than the normal upright configuration.  This could
      increase the heating on the eve boards.

Weather / Conditions:
---------------------
Hot / clear.
Irrigation cycle ended yesterday and the field is gradually drying.
It is still very sloppy on the south end.	
Clouds:  none in am.


Data Ingest / Base:
---------------------
PAMs(1-6):	Up.
Marigold(9):	Up.
Cosmos(8):	Up.  ATI not installed.
Daisy(7):	Up.  Running w/ATI scheduled for 8

Misc. Notes:
---------------------
- St3 trh now working after replacement last evening.
- Most boom angles have been shot yet.
- We must clean all kryptons and aster rad sensors soon.
- Soil measurement cycle, post irrigation conditions begun: 1,2,4
- Tsfc*4 still needs to be installed at 8


Configuration, beginning of Operational Phase:
---------------------
Basel - Site 9
	2 Csat ingested by Roland's campbell and Aster/Marigold 202/203
	4 other sonics stored locally on Roland's (2 Gills, Metek, Csat).

Hong Kong - Site 7
	2 CSAT + Krypton, vaisalaT, and thermocouples ingested by Heping's
	laptop only.   Note he is only able to obtain 10hz data so far.

Bayreuth - Site 7
	CSAT+krypton, fast-T ingested by Thomas' PC only.
	Thomas' logger not connected to aster. Continuing problems
	with reliable ingest on serial channel forced him to move it
	to his PC.  We will merge his data later.  Ditto for Heiping's data.

KNMI -  KD5cm + krypton (only locally stored by KNMI)

Kearny - Mostly deployed.  Still need to add IR temps and change some
        thermocouples to measure leaf temps (now just stem)

56: radiation, Site stn7_daisy, Sat 05-Aug-2000 18:19:05 PDT, Possible Fix and continuing problem w/PSP.in,PSP.out

• Previous - Next - Index

The Rsw.in and Rsw.out may have been temporarily fixed.

These have never been right at this site since setup.
The Rsw.out looked like an 'in.'
The Rsw.in was basically garbage/missing.

Checked:
Wiring:   consistent w/ Comments in logger pgm list..ie correct.
Msg Out:  both aster prep and logger prm listing consistent..ie correct.
CR10 pgm: appears correct as best I can tell.

Possible Mux problem in logger box, or else pgm is actually incorrect.
It appears that the cr10 is sampling these on AM416 mux channels 
3-L/H, and 4-L/H instead of 4 and 5.  This implies we either need
another 'pulse port 2' to move the mux forward to the correct channels,
or else the thing is sticking on 1 channel.

Temp fix = plug Rsw.out cable into the 'in' port on the box which goes
	to 4-L/H.   Jumper plug 'Rsw.out' port on the box to 3-L/H
	and plug Rsw.in cable to the 'out' port.
I presume the coefficients are being applied correctly in the program.

Keep an eye on it to see if we're OK, and maybe try that program step
also.

Misc. Notes:
---------------------
- 7:daisy, There still may be a problem in the logger-mux.
  After kludging channels for Psp.in and Psp.out last night, the
  data appear consistent for the most part but the Psp.in had some
  bad periods overnight suggesting that the mux may still have a
  problem (ie maybe it was working in the cooler temps and the
  rewire only works in heat...)
- Most boom angles have been shot yet.
- We must clean all kryptons and aster rad sensors soon.
- Tsfc*4 still needs to be installed at 8


Configuration, beginning of Operational Phase:
---------------------
Basel - Site 9
	2 Csat ingested by Roland's campbell and Aster/Marigold 202/203
	4 other sonics stored locally on Roland's (2 Gills, Metek, Csat).

Hong Kong - Site 7
	2 CSAT + Krypton, vaisalaT, and thermocouples ingested by Heping's
	laptop only.   Note he is only able to obtain 10hz data so far.

Bayreuth - Site 7
	CSAT+krypton, fast-T ingested by Thomas' PC only.
	Thomas' logger not connected to aster. Continuing problems
	with reliable ingest on serial channel forced him to move it
	to his PC.  We will merge his data later.  Ditto for Heiping's data.

KNMI -  KD5cm + krypton (only locally stored by KNMI)

Kearny - Mostly deployed.  Still need to add IR temps and change some
        thermocouples to measure leaf temps (now just stem)

60: sonic, Site stn9_marigold, Sun 06-Aug-2000 13:37:09 PDT, UW down, zeroed

• Previous - Next - Index

The UW sonic has been reporting bad V winds and has
'unusual' tilt plot.
The sensor, including the Krypton was taken down
and zeroed in the lab.
Down: ~18:15-19:40
Hopefully the data will be improved now.

61: radiation, Site stn8_cosmos, Sun 06-Aug-2000 19:00:29 PDT, Psp.out removed

• Previous - Next - Index

The Psp.out has been giving bad readings.
It appears to be a connection or the Eppley photopile
is bad.

62: temp_rh, Site stn8_cosmos, Sun 06-Aug-2000 19:01:34 PDT, Tsfc*4 added, sort-of

• Previous - Next - Index

I installed the 4 tsfc infrared temp. sensors as follows:
tsfc1 at 10cm above ref. pointing south
tsfc2 at about 40 cm. pointing 30-deg out from base to north
tsfc3 at 50cm above ref. pointing north
tsfc4 at 50cm above ref. pointing south
Ref = top height of ridges.

However....
the CR10 logger is reporting all -39.00 for these values.
There appears to be a programming or wiring error based
upon where the connections are vs. the comment in the
program listing.  Unfortunately this is a CR10, not 10x
so it needs to have a prom written to retain any changes
in the program.
More later...

Note: I need to verify the 30-degree angle and the level
of the other sensors.  2 of them do not have the adjusting
knobs and tsfc3 is loose and pointing a little above horizontal.

A quick EBEX update for Tom.....

The EBEX00 project operations phase began with an irrigation cycle of
the cotton field progressing from the north to south over a period of
6 days.  Immediately before operations began, the network was
reconfigured from its initial intercomparison configuration.  The
field is now dry but another, and final irrigation cycle of the season
begins Saturday.

Some difficulties were experienced with the adam power distribution
after all of the various systems were installed.  Initially all adams
and user equipment were supplied off a single 220VAC, 20Amp circuit.
After a few trips of the circuit breaker in the base, a 30Amp unit was
installed.  A subsequent blown fuse in the main distribution
transformer's surge arrestor encouraged a reconfiguration with one
tower site being moved onto a second 20A circuit from the base.  After
this move, all of our power problems have gone away.  Some of our
difficulty may have been associated with wide scale problems
experienced in California during the recent heat-wave in which network
brown-outs and service interruptions occurred throughout the state.

At this writing, essentially all NCAR sensors are working.  One sonic
is reporting questionable data and the 'repaired' sonic needed to
replace it was D.O.A. and had to be returned to ATI.  A bad PAM soil
moisture sensor cannot be replaced without a spare.  A few lingering
radiometer problems were fixed shortly after operations began.  The 4
component infrared 'canopy' temperature sensors have been installed
and two sets of gravimetric and bulk density soil moisture samples
have been taken.  Steve Oncley's soil and plant temperature sensor
network is being built and should be installed at 16 sites throughout
the field within a week.

In addition to the complement of NCAR sensors, some of the European
loggers and sensors are being ingested directly by Aster, but not all.
2 Csat sonics from Basel are being monitored in addition to their 4
other sonics being acquiring separately.  The Hong Kong University
data are being recorded on Heping's laptop including 2 Csat sonipcs, a
Krypton, Vaisala-T, and thermocouples but not on aster.  He has only
been able to acquire data at 10hz.  Continuing difficulty with serial
communications has precluded ingest of the Bayreuth Csat, Krypton and
fast-T sensors.  RMYoung and Metek sonic data are being ingested by
Aster.  Gordon wrote java scripts to merge, display and archive data
for Thomas Foken and Heping.  He wrote another java script to extract
NCAR short-wave radiometer data for Roland to intercompare with his
Basel radiometers.  KNMI is storing their own KD5cm, and krypton data
locally.  The Kearny site is mostly deployed including as of this
writing the IR temps.  They still need to adjust some thermocouples to
measure leaf temps.  The Kearny site is powered by 220VAC from aster but
records all of its data locally.

A low speed network connection to the base is possible.  Gordon setup
a locally initiated automated script which dials into the ISP and establishes
a 9600bps link accessible to ATD.  The link can be used for sporadic
code updates and short data transfers.

75: sonic, Site stn9_marigold, Fri 11-Aug-2000 08:43:14 PDT, WARNING: UW at 9 in in a test mode

• Previous - Next - Index

After talking with Steve O. last night, I have changed
the UW at station 9 to operate in an orthogonal mode. We
may be able to identify a bad set of transducers.
This change was made about 5 minutes ago.

76: radiation, Site stn6, Fri 11-Aug-2000 10:01:09 PDT, KZ at station 6 removed

• Previous - Next - Index

The problem with the KZ seems to be in the
sensor so I brought it back to the base. I
was out there at the site from 9:20 - 9:40
local time.

77: radiation, Site stn6, Fri 11-Aug-2000 10:24:38 PDT, KZ fixed at station 6

• Previous - Next - Index

The KZ at station 6 is back up, ~10:40 local. The
internal connector was bad. removing the shrink tubing
near the connector fixed the problem so I left the
connector in place. My guess is the contacts between
male and female have opened up and little bit of twist
on the cable causes and open circuit.

78: sonic, Site stn9_marigold, Fri 11-Aug-2000 10:59:42 PDT, UW and Krypton at station 9 removed at 11:45 local

• Previous - Next - Index

Based on the test of the individual sonic axis, the
u axis is noisy compared to v and w. I will take the sonic
down and check the solder joints on the transducer wires
attached to the electronics board.

79: sonic, Site stn9_marigold, Fri 11-Aug-2000 14:19:38 PDT, Sonic at 9 bad

• Previous - Next - Index

The sonic at 9 has gone from questionable to dead.
The solder connections looked ok. When I tried to
re-zero it, the distances were bogus for all 3 axis.

Summary of TU Dresden measurements at Swiss-Site (see also Vogt and Christen)

Data sampling from the Campbell logger was done at every field trip, data are almost continuous from July 31 to today

July 30, 2000	instruments added to station 9
		METEK USA1, LICOR 7500 (open path) at 6m above the ridge 
		(tower B, above Solent R2), additional miscallaneous 
		(TCs, HMP35)
		Data transfer to Swiss computer (raw data 20 Hz)
		Fluxes on-line via CSI CR10X (8 Hz)
		METEK running, but produces 'invalid data
		CR10X started on PST
		LICOR values mV=mmol/m3
July 31, 2000	METEK path lengths measured at tower (roughly with ruler),
		data o.k., temperature about 6 C too low, uvw evt. also affected
		no re-calibration done, should be corrceted later
		19.40 PST time changed to 2.40 GMT
August 1, 2000	several tests performed with METEK for band-filter (esp. 40 Hz
		measurements), not succeeded returned to 20 Hz raw data
		21,48 GMT: LICOR chnaged to mmol CO2/m3 = 15/5000 mV + 10,			mmol H2O/m3 = 1/5 mV + 250 (same as Foken)
August 2, 2000	Campbell logger connected to 12V DC (was running on back-up batt			eries only), power down at 17.30 GMT
August 3, 2000	o.k.
August 4, 2000	o.k.
August 5, 2000	o.k.
August 7, 2000	o.k.
August 9, 2000	o.k.
August 10, 2000	o.k., common effort to measure canopy height across field 
		(see Vogt)
August 11, 2000 o.k., 
		18.15 GMT :LICOR cleaned (window indicator went down from 62 
		to 59%)

81: sonic, Site stn9_marigold, Sat 12-Aug-2000 11:17:48 PDT, sonic and fast Q back up at 9

• Previous - Next - Index

The sonic and fast Q are running again at site 9.
The sonic came back from ATI. When I first powered it up
it did not work. Playing with the board I got it
running. Be warn it may go down!

90: sonic, Site stn9_marigold, Sun 13-Aug-2000 14:17:44 PDT, parameters on uw sonic changed

• Previous - Next - Index

In getting the UW sonic fixed by ati, all our settings were lost, so we've
been operating it wrong since it was installed yesterday.

I just changed:
- set the serial number from unassigned to nuw5 (I think this is right).
- shadow correction turned off (was using 0.84/0.16)
- rotation matrix changed from ATI's default to that from the 6/9/2000
  measurements.

Thus, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to recover data from the
last 28 hours or so.

• Graphic: sonic data for s8&s9 for last month located in file: /net/aster/projects/EBEX00/logbook/log_00092-1.gif

Here is a summary of sonic stuff as I remember it:
- all sonics came here set for 10 sps; the aster ones were upped to 20 sps
  in the middle of the IC period.  (We tried to set s1 to 10 sps at the
  same time, but it appeared that eve couldn't handle this rate.)
- all atis came here set for 20% shadow correction; all but s6 were changed
  to 0% in the middle of the IC period.  s6 was changed today (couldn't
  be done through eve)
- s8 was set up first, with nuw7 and ati980202.  However, nuw5 didn't work
  when setting up s7, so ati980202 was moved there.
- nuw5 died on the bench in the trailer and eventually fixed by ATI/Semmer
- nuw3 had weird data (at s9) since marigold's cooler failure ~7/23, and was
  replaced by nuw5 when it returned yesterday.
- nuw5 was installed at s9 with bad internal parameters which were just fixed
  today.  Thus, we probably don't have any good s9 flux data between 7/26 and
  now. (see plot)

Attached are tilt files for the 9 stations as of the last month.  s9 is pretty
bad, even when only running the previous month.  The PAM graphs appear to have
more scatter than the ASTERs, but that is due to the ASTERs having a larger
lean angle.

All computed with rm.azm=20 (not default value of 45)

stn	lean	az	r2	woff
1	0.7	-1	3	-2
2	0.9	57	1	-1

8	2.2	16	1	0
9	0.9	1	2	set to -0.05 (wmax=0.3)

All of these look pretty reasonable to me.

P.S. I've added two more plots of the two periods when stn9 was okay. 9/28/00

Steve and I just noticed that the Freewave LEDs were different for the
newly-installed s3.  I guessed that this was due to s1&s2 using yagis and
the others using omnis at the base.  We thus switched the base antenna for
s3 to a yagi and for s2 back to an omni.  The LEDs seem happier now.

• Previous - Next - Index

I went to s7 to do 3 things for Heping:
- clean krypton
- re-level sonic
- remove broken thermocouple

However, the tower guys were all pretty loose.  They had all been staked in
the furrows (my fault) and two of the stakes could be moved.  Heping and
I pulled all these stakes, repositioned them, and leveled and tensioned the
guys.  The tower feels much better now.  Naturally, a new tilt correction will
be needed.  During this process, I also moved the safety rope so that the tower
is again climbable.

Finally, I did the above tasks for Heping.  The krypton was dirty and the sonic
out of level by about 2/3 of a bubble to the north (pitched up).  The bubble 
is now at least 2/3 inside the circle.

• Graphic: Rsum/Rnet comparison located in file: /net/aster/projects/EBEX00/logbook/log_00116-1.gif

I wrote a bit of code in: aster/isff/src/sfun/EBEX00/radcomp.q
to compare the Rsum and Rnet values.  A plot over the last 4 days is 
attached.  Red lines are Rnet, Green Rsum using PSPs, and Blue Rsum using
K&Zs.

The nighttime Rsum values use just PIR data and are larger by ~20% than
Rnet values.

The daytime Rsum values usually are larger than Rnet over cotton (and smaller
over dirt!).  Confounding this study is whether the domes are dirty.  Stn7
at least, was cleaned 2 days ago, which appears to have increased the magnitude
of the K&Z somewhat.  In general, the K&Zs read a bit higher than the PSPs.

I installed another 4 surface heating systems today.  They are 51-54,
at latitude 36d 5.985', and longitudes of 119d56.405, 56.270, 56.136 and 56.001'
respectively.  There were a lot of bent-over plants here, but the generally
thicker canopy didn't allow them to collapse as much as for 11-14.

I installed another site at s9, near the ridge location where Tsoil.a&b are
located.  Hopefully he had these at 1&4cm, though the ridge location is
nasty.  F3 appears to be bad.

On: ~19:58:00 (lichen time)=03:00:25 GPS.

126: soil, Site , Tue 22-Aug-2000 17:34:43 PDT, visiting surface heating 11-14

• Previous - Next - Index

Yesterday, I also visited the north 4 sites.  

14: no data had been recorded.  Just started at 18:02:50 (according to
lichen) (01:05:15GPS), where 18:05:40 lichen = 01:08:05 GPS. 
(PS: SprintPCS is nearly synched to GPS as well.)

13: data are spotty.  Restarted about 18:17:00 (lichen) (18:19:25GPS), 
but all stem and F1 are bad.  Probably the usual voltage-not-quite-right.  
Hopefully, it will fix itself.

12: Completely dead.  Am bringing electronics back to trailer. :(

11: dumped ~18:44:00, (01:46:25GPS) off ~2min prior.
restarted ~18:45:54 (01:48:19GPS).
Bad R3&4.

128: soil, Site , Tue 22-Aug-2000 18:29:55 PDT, last heating site

• Previous - Next - Index

I just installed a 10th site, colocated (including some in the same plant)
as the Kearny bare soil site with leaf temperatures and brass leaves.

0A: at Kearney clear site (near trailer) R near top, F in bottom (open
canopy, so exposed).  S1 about 10cm up, and S3 about 50cm up on eastern-
most plant with leaf thermocouples.  S2 & S4 on other plants, ~20cm and 70cm,
respectively.  on at 18:13:02

I'll download all of the sites on Friday before leaving.

Both the T/RH and Prop profiles were torn down over the last 2 hours.
In the process, the breezecom antenna was moved, which stopped ingest

This is the first stage of tear-down.  By now, most of the Swiss instruments
are down, and the Dutch pulled stuff off yesterday.  The profile at s7
also is being removed.

I started teardown of the rad/soil systems this morning ~7:00AM.  The
order was: 3,1,2,4, and I will continue with 5&6 soon.

The Qsoil sensor at 2 was labeled "Bad", like the one we replaced at 1.
I'll have to reexamine the data from this site.  I also accidentally cut
the insulation on the T or G probe while cutting the cable tie on this sensor.

I've taken photos of the rad stands as I've gone.

138: soil, Site all, Mon 04-Sep-2000 09:12:06 PDT, soil water fraction and bulk density

• Previous - Next - Index

Evolution of the gravimetric water fraction and the bulk density after irrigation.
The gravimetric water fraction and the bulk density of the soil one day and three days after irrigation were measured. The methodology used during EBEX to determine the bulk density of the soil, either by using the wax method for the furrow, either by filling up a known volume for the ridge was unsuitable for the field in a short period of time after irrigation. 
A new methodology was used. I've borrowed some containers with a known value from David Grantz, University of California, and applied at a site South of Station 9 one and three days after irrigation.
The containers were made of metal, with a 10.16 cm diameter and a 7.62 cm high (4'x3'). With that dimensions it was not possible to sample soil from a 0-5 cm but from a 0-7.62 cm depth.
The method consisted in inserting the container into the ridge and furrow soil. The amount of dirt that was collected was then placed in the oven for two days. After the drying period, the container was weighted and the bulk density could be determined.
A major inconvenient of this method was that when the container was being inserted in the soil a bubble appear between the container bottom, that was up at the moment, and the soil. One solution to minimize the appearance of the bubble was to slightly move the container obliquely when it is being punched into the soil.
This method was used only at this site. There were no changes in the measuring procedures at the other stations.

• Previous - Next - Index

Here is a summary of comments affecting rad operations:
(not necessarily exhaustive, since I only looked at subject: radiation,
not status, log, etc.

7-25-00 17:30 GMT: cleaning of all radiometer domes at stand site 09.
                   check of level. All ok, except NCAR upward looking 
                   pyrradiometer is only a little bit out of center. 
                   nothing adjusted. 
                   cr23x uni basel: time incorrect.

7-28-00 18:10 PDT: John rewired stn1 logger so these signals now look okay.

07/31/00 13:33 PDT:
The Kipp&Zonnen has been providing bad data through the night and
into the day.  During the day after warming up, the data has been
OK.   The wiring inside the ventillation plenum had a bad connection.
It was recabled and now appears OK.
The wiring arrangement for the K&Z radiometers needs to be improved.

7-30 16:00 - 16:15 GMT Cleaning of all domes at radiation stand site 09. 
		Dome of Q*7 of NCAR is dirty, especially at lower parts. 
		probably due to spraying. Completely cleaning was not possible. 
		Time Uni Bsel OK. Leveling of all instruments OK.

8-5  18:19PDT: The Rsw.in and Rsw.out may have been temporarily fixed.

These have never been right at this site since setup.
The Rsw.out looked like an 'in.'
The Rsw.in was basically garbage/missing.

Checked:
Wiring:   consistent w/ Comments in logger pgm list..ie correct.
Msg Out:  both aster prep and logger prm listing consistent..ie correct.
CR10 pgm: appears correct as best I can tell.

Possible Mux problem in logger box, or else pgm is actually incorrect.
It appears that the cr10 is sampling these on AM416 mux channels 
3-L/H, and 4-L/H instead of 4 and 5.  This implies we either need
another 'pulse port 2' to move the mux forward to the correct channels,
or else the thing is sticking on 1 channel.

Temp fix = plug Rsw.out cable into the 'in' port on the box which goes
	to 4-L/H.   Jumper plug 'Rsw.out' port on the box to 3-L/H
	and plug Rsw.in cable to the 'out' port.
I presume the coefficients are being applied correctly in the program.

Keep an eye on it to see if we're OK, and maybe try that program step
also.

Radiometer Cleaning cycle:

st1	8/8 ~23Z
	
st2	8/9 ~0Z		

st3	8/7 ~22Z

st4	8/9 ~0Z		Q7 has those darn spots...

st5	8/7 ~21Z	were in good shape.

st6

st7	8/6 ~0Z		The Rsw.in/out definitely needed it but not extreme.
			The Q7 had spots on it probably from spray?
			Also cleaned the German's sensors.

st8	8/6 ~23Z	Rsw.in/Rlw.in did need it but not extreme.  Q7 spots
			seemed to come off pretty well.

st9	8/6 ~20Z	The Q7 had the worst spots seen so far.  Cleaned
			them some but not completely off.
8-6 19:00 PDT: s8
The Psp.out has been giving bad readings.
It appears to be a connection or the Eppley photopile
is bad.

8-7 15:19 PDT The TSFC probes at station 8 are working now.
The wrong calibration factors were used.

8-7 16:47 PDT: The Rsw.out (s8) sensor is working now.
It was another case of bad wiring inside the ventillation plenum.

8-8 11:20 PDT: Rsw.in and Rsw.out at site 7 looking good 
Another program problem. The multiplexer was
not skipping forward 2 steps. The heat may have had
something to do with it. I added delay commands between
the increment commands. That seemed to fix it.

8-11 10:01 PDT: KZ at station 6 removed
The problem with the KZ seems to be in the
sensor so I brought it back to the base. I
was out there at the site from 9:20 - 9:40
local time.

8-11 10:24 PDT: KZ fixed at station 6
The KZ at station 6 is back up, ~10:40 local. The
internal connector was bad. removing the shrink tubing
near the connector fixed the problem so I left the
connector in place. My guess is the contacts between
male and female have opened up and little bit of twist
on the cable causes and open circuit.

8-14 17:29 PDT: Clean domes & krypton at 3
Due to the move the domes and krypton needed cleaning.
This was done at ~17:15 local.

8-16 11:32 PDT: rads cleaned s7
While Thomas was cleaning his radiometers at s7, he offered to clean ours
as well.  He noted that the Q7 was rather dirty, but the others seemed okay.

8-21 10:08 PDT Dome and Krypton cleaning
Today is dome and krypton cleaning. All nets had a fine
layer of dust on them. The glass domes looked good.
Kryptons had minimal contamination.

140: radiation, Site , Fri 29-Sep-2000 16:55:13 MDT, Epply radiation errors

• Previous - Next - Index
• Graphic: Rsw vs. PIR Tdome-Tcase located in file: /net/aster/projects/EBEX00/logbook/log_00140-1.gif
• Graphic: Estimate of Rsw error located in file: /net/aster/projects/EBEX00/logbook/log_00140-2.gif

We've seen the old Epply problem of negative PSP values at night.
Just for fun, we've compared these at one site (8) to the dome and case
temperatures of an adjacent PIR. The correlation is shown in the first
plot.  A regression of Rsw = 12 (Tdome-Tcase) + 3 fits rather well!

To see what this error would be during the day, the second plot shows this
regression function in yellow, along with the nighttime Rsw data that it is
fitting (black).  The daytime error is about 2%, which is rather large!

Nevertheless, this error is small compared to the energy balance residual.

Note that this error is not exactly correctable, since we don't have a
Tdome and Tcase for the PSPs.  (But we might use nearby PIRs anyway, 
if we are desperate.)

10/10: P.S. I've tried the fit with (Td-Tc)^4 and with Tc^4 + B(Td-Tc)^4,
and the simple linear fit still appears to be the best.  Tony suspects that
this indicates a heat transfer by convection, conduction and/or diffusion,
rather than by radiation.  He says that Marshal Haeffelin (NASA/LARC) was 
modeling (on 8 Oct 98) the Epply PSP and may have some insight.

I've also done a similar fit for Rsw.out at s8 and get a fit of 13(Td-Tc)-2,
which is a similar slope but different offset.

Our boom angles are going to be pretty messed up, and will take some work.

Since I know that stn3 was not shot prior to the move on 14 Aug, I thought
I'd use the data from stn2 to generate a new angle:
> dpar(mon=7,day=20,lenday=23,stns=1:9,avg=1800)
> x <- dat("dir")
> ig <- abs(x[,3]-x[,2])<30
> dif <- lsfit(x[ig,3],x[ig,2])$coef[1]
(Note that mean(x[ig,2]-x[ig,1],na.rm=T) gives a different result!)

I can check this from the other stations' angles:
        d mm ss  boom boom-boom[2]   fit:d-d[2] mean(d-d2]) stn
 [1,]   3 35 55  3.6 -2.7               2.3  	 1.8        1
 [2,]   6 18 25  6.3  0.0               0.0	 0.0        2
 [3,]  NA NA NA   NA   NA              -9.3	 9.9        3 (before 14 Aug)
 [4,] 359 22 20 -0.6 -6.9              -3.1	 7.2        3 (after 14 Aug)
 [5,]   0 42 15  0.7 -5.6              -6.6	 5.6        4
 [6,]   3  9 30  3.2 -3.1              -4.4	 2.3        5
 [7,]   0 46 30  0.8 -5.5              -5.2	 7.6        6
 [8,] 359  8  8 -0.9 -7.2             -10.0	 6.1        7
 [9,] 359 53 27 -0.1 -6.4             -10.5	 5.9        8
[10,]   1 21 15  1.4 -5.0              -8.6	 3.8        9 (after 13 Aug)
Clearly, the fit isn't very accurate: s1 is off by 5 deg, s3 s8 & s9 by 4 deg, 
and s7 by 3 deg.  However, the mean differences mostly agree to 1 degree (after
reversing the sign -- I hope this is correct!).

THEREFORE, s3's boom angle before 14 Aug should be:
6.3 - 9.9 = 356.4 deg.

Also note that Tom found that sunangle() used year=1900!  Thus, all theodolite
readings are in error (by 0.5 deg?).  We can compare my DataScope and 
Steve S's theodolite readings for s8:

sensor		datascope	theodolite	data-theo
UW 4.7		182.0		179.89		2.1
Prop1.7		182.9		182.13		0.8
Prop2.7		181.9		180.76		1.1
Prop4.7		181.1		180.35		0.7
Prop6.7		181.0		180.80		0.2
Prop8.7		181.9		181.57		0.3
Prop10.7	181.1		180.86		0.2

Again, a mixed bag -- the props are mostly within 1 deg, with half within 0.3
deg, but the sonic is off by 2 deg (could have been Steve S's choice of
reference vs. mine).  I estimated datascope error as +/-0.2 deg.  This, plus
theodolite error of 0.5 deg might explain all but 2 of the readings.


 

142: radiation, Site all, Tue 31-Oct-2000 09:52:06 MST, Campbell coefficients

• Previous - Next - Index

Post-EBEX00 the integrity of the Campbell coeffs was checked.
Consistency in the sequence:

CalLab data | Coeffs in LabView loading files | Coeffs inspected post-EBEX

was examined and found to be correct. See delany/deployments/ebex00/coefftab.fm

There was an apparent discrepancy which was resolved. The coeffs in Campbell
St7NW were not loaded in the memory, but rather were embedded in the code.
This circumstance probably occurred because originally there were only 
eight Campbell 10X's available and one Campbell 10. The Campbell coefficients 
need to be loaded in the code as the memory for the Campbell 10 is volatile.
Then an additional Campbell 10X was acquired and allocated to St7NW. 
The original code was retained. This would cause no problem, although it 
did cause puzzlement.

Neither JM nor SS (nor anyone else) changed coefficients in the field.
However, JM did find and correct (see LB# ????) cable misconnections.
         JM did find and correct (see LB# ????) wiring shorts
         SS, did adjust multiplexer delays (see LB# ????)

143: radiation, Site all, Tue 07-Nov-2000 15:21:38 MST, Radiometer coefficient checks,flagged bad data

• Previous - Next - Index

Inspection of the coefficients indicated that the correct coefficients were 
used throughout the deployment. 
The procedure of checking coefficients is described in the file:
          delany/deployments/ebex00/coefftab.fm
and involved checking the coefficients throughout the sequence:
  cal lab data
  coefficients listed in LabView coefficient Campbell loading files
  manually cycling through the memory of the Cambpbell after return from EBEX00

The problem data resulted from wiring breaks and the bad data is to be 
flagged but not corrected.

This flag file is formed by defining when the value of the output of an 
individual radiometer deviates significantly (say 20%) or more than 
20 Wm-2 from the value of a credible reference radiometer. 
These reference short-wave down-welling and short-waveup-welling radiometers 
were chosen by inspecting the traces of all the radiometersfor reasonable 
and continuous data.
 
For the Rsw.in radiometers the four traces were examined to define which 
was the most continuous.
      Rsw.in 9 is taken as that credible reference radiometer.

For the Rsw.out radiometers all 15 traces were examined to define which 
was the most continuous.
Although 3, 4, and 5 had fairly good continuous traces the best was chosen.
      Rsw.out 4 is taken as the most credible reference radiometer.

144: radiation, Site all, Tue 07-Nov-2000 15:24:49 MST, Dome cleaning and calc of Rsw.in/out values

• Previous - Index

The  dome cleaning procedure during EBEX was not as systematic as
could have been wished. A summary of dome cleaning undertaken during
EBEX00 was made and listed as Logbook# 139. Plots of the radiometers'
responses were made and inspected. 

There were four up-looking short-wave radiometers:
     Station 7 unventilated Eppley PSP         -> Rsw.in 7 
     Station 7 ventilated  Kipp & Zonen        -> Rsw.in.kz 7
     Station 8 ventilated   Eppley PSP         -> Rsw.in 8 
     Station 9 unventilated Eppley PSP         -> Rsw.in 9 

As the four radiometers viewed the identical sky the are redundant and
a single value of Rsw.in is all that is required. Inspection of the 
traces for the four were made to decide how best to generate this single
trace of Rsw.in

The effect of cleaning had noticeable effects on
            Rsw.in.kz 7  on 16 Aug of ~ 50 Wm-2
            Rsw.in 8     on 21 Aug of ~ 80 Wm-2
other cleaning events did not make much difference in radiometer response.

The other two up-looking short-wave radiometer yielded more consistent traces.
with Rsw.in 7  ~ 1.04 X Rsw.in 9 .
I propose to use for the the single value of Rsw.in 
   Rsw.in.mean <- (Rsw.in 7 + Rsw.in 9)/2 for the period 6 Aug - 23 Aug
when both thes radiometers had good output, and 
   Rsw.in.mean <- (Rsw.in 9 X (Rsw.in.mean/Rsw.in 9) for the period before 
6 Aug  when only Rsw.in 9 had good output


In general the dust from the traffic along
the dirt road together with the effect of agricultural aerial spraying
was more apparent on the up-looking radiometers than on the down-looking
radiometers. 

There were fifteen down-looking short-wave radiometers:
     Station 1-6 unventilated Eppley PSP         -> Rsw.out 1-6 
     Station 1-6 ventilated  Kipp & Zonen        -> Rsw.out.kz 1-6
     Station 7   unventilated Eppley PSP         -> Rsw.out 7 
     Station 8   ventilated Eppley PSP           -> Rsw.out 8 
     Station 9   unventilated Eppley PSP         -> Rsw.out 9 

Each of these radiometers viewed different surfaces although the paired
Eppley and Kipp and Zonen radiometers at the six station, stn1 - stn6 could
be assumed to have had a very nearly identical view. 
The ratio of Rsw.out/Rsw.out.kz for stations 1-6 were:
(1) 1.076, (2) 1.08, (3) 0.975, (4) 1.07, (5) 1.065, (6) 1.04, or (1-6) 1.05
The value taken for each of the up-welling short-wave radiation should be the 
mean of the Eppley and the Kipp 1and Zonen Radiometers.
The value for the other three stations should be the value of the single 
radiometer at that site.
