| Graphic: | One day of strange Rsw.in
When Kate was here on Monday, I was concerned that Rsw.in was significantly
different at times between the sites. Some of this could be snow/ice on the
domes, but it seemed like there were more cases with different radiation than
could be explained just by snow/ice. Now is an example where there are patches
of sun slowly propogating across the surface, which could make differences
(at least instantaneously) of Rsw.in between lake/sage/tower. I'm still not
completely convinced that the 5-min ave values should be as different as the
400 W/m2 that we sometimes get.
P.S. The attached graph shows several problems (that are real!). [The red line
is: 1300*sin(dat("azel.sun")[,2]*pi/180)
1. A semi-stationary cloud pattern (probably orographically influenced) shadows
grass and lake at about noon, but doesn't move over sage until 45min later.
2. When this cloud shifts off at about 14:00, it apparently ducts some of the
sun to have even more than a clear-sky irradiance.
3. At about 16:00, thick clouds built up along the Gore Range cause "sunset" to
occur early, though some light is still present until real sunset.
It is going to be difficult to use these data for QCing snow/ice cases!
It may also indicate that using Rlw.in.sage as a surrogate for Rlw.in.grass may
be a mistake.
191: Temp_RH, Site tower, Tue 04-Mar-2003 18:35:51 MST, swapped 0.5-1.0 TRH
In our ongoing effort to nail down biases in the T/RH profiles, I've swapped
0.5 and 1.0 (recall that this morning I put a "new" sensor in at 1.0, so now
the new one is at 0.5. Immediately, the RH profile at least developed a +2%
large value at 1.0. I'll have to get more data to see how the T profile
changed. In any case, I think the old 0.5m (new 1.0m) T/RH has some biases.
(Steve's post-cals of these sensors will be critical!)

188: Temp_RH, Site tower, Tue 04-Mar-2003 10:14:55 MST, T/RH change
In an attempt to understand temperature profile (and RH) biases, I've just
put spare T/RHs in at 2m and 1m:
2m: 004 -> 104
1m: 703 -> 001
0.5m still appears to be lower than 1m, which isn't expected. Thus, I'll
probably do some more swapping soon.
187: Weather, Site all stns, Tue 04-Mar-2003 09:00:17 MST, snowing
It started snowing ~0500 this morning and is still coming down -- I estimate
about 1" has fallen so far. About 15 min ago, I checked sage and all sensors
were snow-free (T/RH, sonic, krypton, 4-comp rad, and net).

183: Log, Site , Sun 02-Mar-2003 10:10:52 MST, king air flew today
Supposedly, the King-Air flew this morning, taking off at 6AM, though there
was no sign of it by the time we arrived on site at 0830. (We went to
Moose Creek for our pancake/french toast breakfast.)
182: Weather, Site all stns, Sun 02-Mar-2003 09:58:56 MST, fog/frost
There was heavy fog last night and associated rime this morning on all sensors.
On the drive in (~0830), I brushed the rime (but couldn't get at all of the
underlying frost) off of all rads, sonic, and krypton at sage, then at lake.
About 0900, I brushed off bare.1.5m, then all grass rads. I then brushed off
the 1&2m sonic and krypton at the tower. Next, I "twanged" the NW guy wires
to knock rime off all sonics and kryptons. Nevertheless, I decided to climb
the tower to check on the effectiveness of the "twanging". I twanged the
side boom guy wires and was able to knock off a bit more rime, though I think
that the tower guy twanging would have been adequate by itself. All this
twanging was sufficient to get the 20&30m sonics happy again (not cycling diag).
While on the tower, I noticed that rime had clogged the T/RH inlets. I blew/
wiped the rime off of all of the T/RHs, in the order: 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5,
0.5, 1, 2m. Note that I didn't open the tubes to get at any ice that may
be on the Gortex cap. Also note that I didn't think of doing the T/RHs at
lake and sage.

| Graphic: | T.5m aspiration problem
I'm starting to look at the T/RH aspiration problems. During the last part
of Dec and early Jan, T.5m sometimes looks okay and sometimes bad as its
fan became more or less effective. The attached plot shows Rsw.in on the top,
spd on the bottom, and a flag, ib = abs(T.5m-T.2m)>abs(T.10m-T.2m). ib should
be 0. On every day during this period, ib was 1 sometime during the daytime
and 1 during the whole daytime period when the wind was calm.
There may be good data during some of this time period, but we'll never be sure.
- 180: Weather, Site all stns, Sat 01-Mar-2003 14:37:43 MST, fog this AM
We took the morning off to go to Steamboat, but noticed that there was still
fog in low-lying areas at 8:40 this morning. Thus, I'm not surprised that the
kryptons had their usual failures.
We also saw 2 coyotes and a large herd of elk along the road driving into the
site just now.
- 179: Log, Site , Fri 28-Feb-2003 16:27:46 MST, analysis thoughts
I've spent the afternoon looking at tc and kh2o data over the last 100 days.
Some prelim. conclusions:
1. There are significant differences between tc and T at certain times.
Many of these probably are due to bad fans on the T/RHs!
2. When the kryptons work, they generally are within 1 g/m3 of Q (except
30m which is up to 1.5 g/m3). This is quite good, considering that we've
only cleaned every month or so.
3. Using the difference kh2o-Q as a QC flag for kh2o is the best start.
4. Using a threshold on kh2oV is a mess and misses "edges".
5. Using a threshold on skewness or kurtosis doesn't remove many points (<<1%)
6. There are events in tc that cause large variance which are not "internal
instrumental" problems since they are seen to a lesser extent in both T and
kh2o. Nevertheless, they many still be exposure artifacts rather than
atmospheric phenomena. [They look similar to rain on a thermocouple or in
my sonic sprinkler tests.)
- 178: GPS, Site sage, Fri 28-Feb-2003 09:31:18 MST, GPS testing
At John's advice, I'm logging the GPS signal using EVE-talk. Thus, data from
sage already has had one outage and I will make another outage now. (Since
I note that the GPS always goes bad at 39 minutes past the hour.)
- 177: Sonics, Site tower, Fri 28-Feb-2003 09:13:59 MST, weird 1m sonic spectra
- Previous -
Next -
Index
| Graphic: | normalized w-spectra
While looking over plots last night, Dean and I noticed that the 1m sonic
has a velocity spectra that are significantly different than the other sonics
on the tower -- with more energy and shifted to higher frequencies, especially
during the day. This has been going on for as long as we've generated spectra.
This may be due simply to the lower height, or it may indicate turbulence
generation from the tower or other local clutter. I'll try to produce a
normalized spectral plot to see if it is just a height issue.
P.S. I've generated and attached the plot. Everything looks great (I only used
nominal heights -- hopefully it would look even better with actual sensor
heights.) I wonder if the WWW plots are being produced correctly? I'll
check that now.
P.P.S. Yes, the WWW plots are okay. It is just an optical illusion that the
1m is different when the 2m data aren't on this plot. I may add it...
- 176: Weather, Site , Fri 28-Feb-2003 08:43:22 MST, low clouds just breaking up
I notice that all kryptons died again last night. The radio had reports of fog,
though the site just had low clouds this morning, i.e. slightly elevated fog.
This fog is just now breaking up.
- 175: GPS, Site sage, Thu 27-Feb-2003 16:20:12 MST, Intermittent GPS outages at sage
Today we've had several "Lost Data" messages from the GPS at sage. A plot of
the raw data indicate that we lost at least one sample from this sensor every
hour, and John's config is only reporting a sample every minute. (In contrast,
lake's GPS has only lost one sample in the last 8 hours.)
John speculates that this GPS is having problems locking onto the satellites,
is reporting that its data may be bad, and EVE is rejecting these messages.
I just went to sage for an inspection of the GPS. All looked okay, but I
cycled power on the GPS and rotated the antenna 90 degrees, so that the walk
there wasn't wasted. We'll have to see what happens.
(John has suggested using EVE_talk to this sensor to look for "A" or "Z?" as
the first character, but I think this would be hard for such an intermittent
problem.)
- 174: Sonics, Site tower, Thu 27-Feb-2003 16:16:30 MST, USFS station further South
Instead of being near the SE tower guy points, Bill Massman's station is more
to the south of our tower. Using the datascope, I estimate that his station
is between 152-160 degrees from our sonics. A wind direction histogram
indicates that this range of directions occurs only 2% of the time (and all
directions occur at least 1% of the time), so we will let him keep this
station where it is.

Since there was patchy fog this morning, we decided to stop by sage on our way
in about 15min ago and photograph the krypton -- there was feather rime on it,
the sonic, and all rads (especially the net, which actually has snow on the
uplooking dome). See img_2669-2672.jpg.
While there, we also did the same T/RH cleaning off of a 4mm thick crust of
snow which has packed onto the tip of the gortex filter and removed the snow
from the "bell".
We didn't clean the ice off the radiometer domes.

- 168: Radiometers, Site all stns, Wed 26-Feb-2003 15:28:33 MST, Removing radiometer snow doughnuts
The ventilation prevented the fine powdery snow from settling upon the
radiometer domes. Doughnuts of snow formed, up to 7-8cm high, with a central
hole and an annulus extending from the ventilator slot to the edge of the
radiation shield. All upward-looking radiometers as well as the ice detectors
had the same problem. Some downlooking rads had an icicle from their dome.
14:00 Sage, removed doughnuts and cleaned all domes.NB Netrad was already clear.
14:10 Lake, ditto
14:21 Grease, cleaned dome
14:28 Bare, cleaned dome.

Persistant snow fall last night and on into the daytime. Only ~10 cm of low
density powder.
Saw well over 100 elk near the road near Sage..
Arrived at 8:45: check_aster, Daisy and Cosmos, Dailies only completed to 22 Feb.
9:30 - 10:00 Yutaka Hagimoto and I inspected tower site.
Ice detecors have snow doughnuts, 6 or so cm high with a hole down to the domes.
Photograped and also applied handkerchief test. Light lit (and also later saw
cockpit response.
Cleaned snow from cal gas guages:
Hi-cal = 1250/10
Lo-cal = 1400/12
Walked in front of tower photographed lower levels of sensors. Neither sonics
nor Kr's snow clogged..
Climbed 20m or so up tower. Snow on steps and walkways.
10:30 visited Sage: cleaned solar panels
From ladder photographed LW.in and SW.in. Same snow doughnuts as ice detectors.
Neither sonic nor Kr snow clogged.

At Lake site at 15:00- 16:00. Level with the middle soil installations, 6 - 7m
north of the center of the radiometer stand.
Cleared the 15 cm snow for a 1m diameter circle.
There was an ice crust a cm or so thick. This was broken up and discarded.
Then carefully excluding
loose snow dug a 20 cm wide, 35 cm deep pit using a digging bar. The loose dirt
was sccoped out by hand and thrown to the north, away from the rad stand.
Using trowel took samples of 0-5cm,5-10cm,10-15cm,15-20cm,20-25cm,and 25-30 cm

I put the ice detector breakout box on a separate 12V supply. To plug this
supply in, I installed a power strip in the CO2 pump box and rerouted the
pump to plug into it. The current status is:
transformer breaker 1 - unused
2 - used for daisy&cosmos
3 - going to Bill Massman's setup (using an ADAM power supply)
4 - to the electric fence charger
This was done about 12:30
- 159: Soil, Site all stns, Sat 22-Feb-2003 17:12:02 MST, 10V regulators added
From 1300-1400 added regulators to the switched 12V signals from the CR10s at
all 3 sites (grass, then sage, then lake). I'm not sure about some of the
electrical contacts -- the daily plots show that I did make a change --
hopefully, it was for the good!
- 158: Temp_RH, Site tower, Sat 22-Feb-2003 17:10:02 MST, TRH work - finding why 10m is a max
Dean and Larry have noted that the 10m T was a bit (~0.1C) high. I changed the fan at about 12:45, but this didn't help. Now, we've just swapped 5m and 10m
and now see that 5m is too high. Thus, there is a bit of a bias with the sensor
which is now at 5m. (And the one which was at 5 and now 10 looks a bit low!).
Since the fan I removed appears to have been working, I've put it back in the
cabinet in the trailer.

- 153: CO2, Site tower, Thu 20-Feb-2003 15:02:24 MST, Supplimentary CO2 calibrations
A supplimentary calibration system was assembled. It consisted of:
a regulator with a shut-off valve, 10 m of 1/4" tubing leading into a ~ 250 cm3
Savillex three connector teflon jar. The other two tubes connected to a
floating ball flow meter and to either a close-off or the Licor intake.
The Licor intake flow was tested = 6.5 lpm
The regulator was connected to a cylinder, the flow thro the jar with the
shut-off installed was adjusted to 10 lpm and run for a few minutes to flush
the system and then the shut-off was removed and the line connected to the Licor
intake. The excess flow of a few lpm was checked. The suplimentary cal gas
was fed to the Licor intake for ~ 10 minutes.
The system was disconnected and after set-up with the second cylinder the
process was repeated.

To investigate the soil moisture down to the 35 cm depth, a pit was dug at the
Sage site. The pit was 5m or so south of the Darkhorse. near the fence.
It was in a small clear patch with 20-30cm sage bushes some 20-30 cm away.
Several cm of snow was brushed away and with digging bars the ground was broken
to a depth, then the loose dirt collected.
Samples were collected for:
0 - 6 cm
6 - 10 cm
10 - 15 cm
15 - 20 cm
20 - 25 cm
30 - 35 cm
Triplicate aliquots were separated and introduced into the oven at 12:00

Qsoil: Qsoil.c.10cm lake is doing some crazy stuff. It came back up at ~1300 on Jan 31, and shows quite a bit of variation over the last two days. At about that same time, Qsoil.c.5cm lake(3) began behaving badly. It climbed from ~8 %vol to ~32 %vol and over the last 3 days it has slowly come back down. It looks like it came back into line around 0600 MST today.
Gsoil: Gsoil.c.10cm.sage and Gsoil.c.1m lake are both still down (see earlier entry).
Soil Thermal Properties: All of these signals look bad, despite fixing
the wiring problem at the tower (grass). It could take a while to get
good data from these, since there was a small air gap around the probes
after installation; however, the data look even worse. In particular,
each "event" on Vheat should look like a square wave toggling between 0
and 1 V. The "Vpile" signal at tower looks close to the signal expected
for Vheat, but at the wrong amplitude.

- 128: Soil, Site lake, Tue 28-Jan-2003 15:07:15 MST, Sage / Lake soil cable problem checks
7/28/03 we examined the soil problems noted in the 'todo' list.
SAGE:
Very little snow on ground, mostly bare with patches of snow.
gsoil.c.10cm yes indeed the cable was spliced and it appears
dicey to try to fix it where it enters the frozen ground.
Tsoil.a.2.5cm appeared ok and not disturbed even though someone
said it looks 'wierd' took pictures.
LAKE:
crusted snow cover all over. Perhaps 4-8" deep.
Gsoil.c.10cm has a wiring break and we were supposed to resolder
it. We played a bit trying to pull out the cable to find the
'tape job' but decided we were impacting the surface and jeopardizing
the other sensors so stopped.
Qsiol.c.10cm ditto.
Logger connections are secure and look good.
- 127: Sonics, Site lake, Tue 28-Jan-2003 15:05:15 MST, Sonic Level offsets: lake, 15m
Using the electronic level we observed:
Lake Sonic: .3 degrees sag.
15m Sonic: .4 degrees sag.
- 126: Adams, Site tower, Tue 28-Jan-2003 15:00:59 MST, Cosmos Cooler / overheating fixed
1/28/03 The outboard fan on the TECA coolers was bad
and was replaced. This hopefully should fix the problem
so we won't get anymore lockups.
SteveS thinks that the cooler was working ok otherwise
based on the data.
NOTE: several adam power cycles this morning because of this
work. Blew breaker trying to heat test the thermostat. then
a few other cycles while playing around and swapping the fan.
- 125: Radiometers, Site all stns, Tue 28-Jan-2003 14:57:32 MST, Radiometers Cleaned
7/27/03 25m radiometers cleaned.
7/28/03 All other radiometers cleaned with dry wipe.
Checked inside plenum at Sage and there was no snow packed
inside. All domes looked very good although we did get
some snow showers this morning which left some moisture on
them.
I noticed something like a smudge inside the psp at Lake
on the small dome. I don't know if that's a factor.
- 124: Kryptons, Site all stns, Tue 28-Jan-2003 14:54:04 MST, Kryptons cleaned
7/28/03 cleaned Sage, Lake
7/27/03 cleaned tower sensors.
Used alcohol with q-tip
NOTE: today SteveS mentioned kh2oV actually dropped on
20m unit after we cleaned it. We examined it and it
was OK. Re-cleaned with just a dry q-tip and after
looking at cockpit, it appears probably the best now.
I think the alcohol is a poor substitute for distilled
because it may leave a residue esp. if something comes
off the seal and/or qtip. Plane dry q-tip is better imho.
- 123: Soil, Site tower, Tue 28-Jan-2003 14:46:32 MST, Grass TP01 soil properties fixed
7/28/03 ~1pm
TP01 should now be up. We haven't seen a pulse on the Vheat yet
but it's still set to 3-hour cycling and we didn't change that.
Checked wiring after examining sage site which is working.
CR10 wiring OK. I did note the C7 - Switched 12 goes to
the access point 2 positions away instead of the access
across the terminal blocks adjacent to the +12 input.
Amp-9 connector from probe was bad. It could never have
worked and apparently wasn't checked in Boulder before
coming up here.
Pin 2 (gnd) was crimped with the insulation preventing
contact.
Pin 1/4 were in wrong positions.
Pin 8 with 150 ohm connector had and has a tenuous
solder to the wire. We probably broke off when unscrewing
the backshell.
Wiring correct now.
NOTE: the 150ohm connection needs to be redone so it's more
secure.
- 122: Status, Site all stns, Mon 27-Jan-2003 21:17:58 MST, Jan 27 work: 25m rad. installed/fixed, t.10m, calgas note, guys
1/27/03
TRH.10m fan replaced. Yes the other one was dead.
TRH.1m bell inlet partially broken (~40%). This happened
at the 10m but we decided to move the broken one down
below where the wind is less. On 1/28/03 we installed
one of the unpainted metal bell inlets on this sensor
to replace the broken bell.
25m Rad/Logger
Removed logger. Replaced AM416: out=13529, in=13532.
Wiring was apparently a problem in that:
1. pyg.in.1 Amp pin-5 to 3-L1 was not seated in the shell
so we pulled it out to make contact w/cable.
2. pyg.out.2 Amp wires 7,4 to 6-H2,L2 not connected.
so we connected them.
3. CR10 4-H1/L1,H2/L2 were connected to Pyg.in.2
CR10 5-H1/L1,H2/L2 were connected to Pyg.out.1
These were apparently reversed per logger pgm
so we swapped t 122 Status Updated:28-Jan-2003 15:15 Jan 27 work hem to
CR10-4H1/L1 to pins 1,5 pyg.out.1
CR10-4H2/L2 to pins 7,4 pyg.out.1
CR10-5H1/L1 to pins 1,5 pyg.in.2
CR10-5H2/L2 to pins 7,4 pyg.in.2
Checked s/n of sensors:
pyg.in.1 = 31975, south-side
pyg.in.2 = 31979, north-side (just installed today)
pyg.out.1 = 31974, south-side (just installed today)
pyg.out.2 = 31977, north-side
We verified that the cables from the sensors to the logger
were consistent with the naming conventions.
We then checked the 'pile' values on cockpit versus putting
a hand over the sensors: all-4 names was consistent/correct.
Cleaned domes.
Per bullet Level check, the electronic sensor bias shows:
y=-.039
x=-.100

Qsoil: Qsoil.c.10cm lake sensor still down. It might also a cable cut
(like the Gsoil.10cm.a problem found at lake), but will require more
digging
up snow to check. Currently, I'm ignoring this as well since there
probably
is enough redundancy in the Qsoil measurements.
Gsoil: Gsoil.c.10cm sage became bad as Tony and Steve were working at sage
on
12/18. Problem was not fixed because ground was frozen. Ignore for now.Gsoil.10cm lake has been removed...I think?
Gsoila.10cm tower took a large dip just after 0100 MST from ~0 to -100 W/m^2.
Soil Thermal properties: All of these signals look bad, despite "fixing"
the
wiring problem at tower (grass). I've expected that it will take a
while to
get good data from these, since there was a small air gap around the
probes
after installation; however, the data look even worse. In particular,
each
"event" on Vheat should look like a square wave toggling between 0 and 1.
Wind direction profile: OK, though there probably are biases of 1-2
degrees
(despite aligning the booms by eye up and down the tower and shooting
boom
angles that were mostly the same). We'll need to check these angles
again.
T profile (5 min ave): 10m sensor has been acting up, and reading warmer than others lately. It will be checked.

- 110: Kryptons, Site tower, Mon 13-Jan-2003 14:18:15 MST, krypton at 20 meters
On Jan 6 at noon, SteveO/Cody removed krypton 1392 at 20 meters
and replaced it with 1390.
The cal_file for kh2o.20m is
$ASTER/projects/FLOSSII/cal_files/krypton.20m
At first an incorrect V0 for 1390 was used, which resulted in negative
densities, which the calib function set to 0.
On jan 13 the correct V0 was entered in the cal file and
the data since Jan 6 rerun and plots remade.
kh2o.20m from 1390 looks good now, and does not have the diurnal

each
"event" on Vheat should look like a square wave toggling between 0 and 1.
Wind direction profile: OK, though there probably are biases of 1-2
degrees
(despite aligning the booms by eye up and down the tower and shooting
boom
angles that were mostly the same). We'll need to check these angles
again.

Weather plots:Pressure at tower dropped yesterday afternooon to, or below, 752. It rebounded, and then dropped until about 1700 MST, Jan 8, and came back up around 2300.
Rain: From looking at top plot, there's no moisture, no calibraiton bleeps, and no sign of life.
Pam power: OK
Sonics 2m: OK
Sonic profiles: w data from 10m drops from around 0 to -.5 m/s shortly before 0200 MST, and rebounds shortly after 0500 MST. None of other sensors behaved this way.
Krytons: Diurnal variation is present for all sensors except at 30m. 2m sensor misbehaves between 1700-2300 MST Jan 8.
H2O-kh2o: 20m and 30m show no diurnal variation. 2m jumps from -.8 to 1.3 at 1700, drops slightly over the next few hours, then returns to negative values.
Tv and P: pressure sensor behavior at tower noted above in weather section.
2m Sonic QC and profile: Flares up a bit over night, reading dropped again around 0900 MST.
Sonic variance (2m / profile): OK
Scalar variance 2m: OK
Scalar variance: OK
Fluxes at 2m: OK
Flux profiles: OK
CO2: between 1700-2400 Jan 8 co2mr.2m, tlicor2m, and plicor.2m flatlined. Pressure also jumped from ~640 to ~840 mb during this time.
CO2 Moments: no moments data shown during times listed above.
TRH 2m difference: OK
TRH profile difference: . OK
Short wave radiation: OK.
Long Wave Radiation: OK but Rlw.in.b.25m and Rlw.out.a.25m stn0, which were having having problems are not longer there?
|Tdome-Tcase|: OK, in.b.25m stn0 is no longer being plotted. out.grease stn0 no longer being plotted either.
Tsoil: OK. Tsoil.2.5cm.a.sage still looks like it may be exposed to
air.
I'm just ignoring this, since we should have adequate Tsoil sampling.
All Tsoils.tower(grass) have a bit noise from the radiometer fans, but
this is
small enough that I'm ignoring it too.
Qsoil: Qsoil.c.10cm lake sensor still down. It might also a cable cut
(like the Gsoil.10cm.a problem found at lake), but will require more
digging
up snow to check. Currently, I'm ignoring this as well since there
probably
is enough redundancy in the Qsoil measurements.
Gsoil: Gsoil.c.10cm sage became bad as Tony and I were working at sage
on
12/18. Problem was not fixed because ground was frozen. Ignore for now.
Gsoil.c.10cm lake was on the fritz prior to 1500 Jan 8 but seems to have
recovered.
Soil Thermal properties: All of these signals look bad, despite "fixing"
the
wiring problem at tower (grass). I've expected that it will take a
while to
get good data from these, since there was a small air gap around the
probes
after installation; however, the data look even worse. In particular,
each
"event" on Vheat should look like a square wave toggling between 0 and 1
V.
The "Vpile" signal at tower looks close to the signal expected for
Vheat, but
at the wrong amplitude.
Wind direction profile: OK, though there probably are biases of 1-2
degrees
(despite aligning the booms by eye up and down the tower and shooting
boom
angles that were mostly the same). We'll need to check these angles
again.
u* profiles: First plot there is not data for sensors at 30 m between 1:00-6:00 MST?

Weather plots:rainr tower(1) had a spike from -25 to -3 g/kg at 1530 on Jan 7.
Rain: OK
Pam power: OK
Sonics 2m: w.2m tower was behaving strangely from 0700-0900 MST.
Sonic profiles: data from 10m is quite different than that
coming from other sensors. for u component Between 0600-0900 the
10m sensor was reading between -2 and -4 m/s, while others were close
to (or above) 0 m/s. At one point it jumped to 2 m/s from -2 m/s.The v componentduring this time ranged between 2 and 9 m/s. The w component for the 5m, 10m and 15m sensors at that time looks bad also. All sensors seem to recover
shortly after 0900 MST.
Krytons: OK. Diurnal variation is present for all sensors.
H2O-kh2o: 20m still shows a diurnal difference (light leak?). This
didn't
change with cleaning on about 12/17.
Tv and P: tc.1m stn0 may have had a glitch just after 0800. According to the sensor the temperature drops from ~-21 to ~-29 between 0800 and 0900 MST which is almost 10 deg colder than at other heights.
2m Sonic QC and profile: Flares up a bit over night, reading drop again around 0900 MST.
Sonic variance (2m / profile): OK / Lots of spikes between 0400 and 0900 MST.
Scalar variance 2m: kh20'kh2o'.2m at tower steadily increased between 2100 MST Jan 7 and 0200 Jan 8 MST until it reached 4 where it has stayed. There is very little evidence of sage...must be at or very close to zero.
Scalar variance: OK

- 105: CO2, Site tower, Wed 08-Jan-2003 11:57:06 MST, Shortened CO2 cal periods
Jan 8, 11:40am
2 minute CO2 calibration periods are longer than necessary - the
signal settles to the new level within 10 seconds, so Tony
recommended shortening the cal periods to 30 seconds for each cal gas.
The sequence is now:
XX:00:00 hi cal on
XX:00:30 low cal on
XX:01:00 normal sampling
...
7+XX:00:00 repeat same thing 7 hours later.
Rebooted cosmos
- 104: Log, Site all stns, Wed 08-Jan-2003 11:09:25 MST, yesterday's tasks
Today was another day filled with tasks:
Condtions:: started foggy, cleared shortly after sunrise, but things stayed rimed for
several hours. Very light winds even up the tower, though not as calm as yesterday.
Pretty clear skies, with scattered cirrus now at the end of the day.
Sage (~8:00-9:30)
- found everything rimed due to the fog.
- found where Tony had sliced through the Gsoil.10cm.c cable and spliced the cut, but
data were still bad. Left it broken (even though we had brought a spare, I couldn't
see how to install it in the frozen ground).
- corrected swapped wires for TP01 (4H&5H) [which fixed this problem]
- cleaned rads
- cleaned krypton & blew rime away from sonic
Tower
- Gordon rebooted cosmos since the Datel channels were all constant overnight (~1800-)
- cleaned 4m.bare
- found by swapping 1.5m.bare and grease that problem was with adaptor connector.
brought cable back to base to fix.
- (found that we had to reboot the Toughbook to get it to talk to com1, in the process
rebooted cosmos again.)
Lake (While Cody was effecting the repair, I went to Lake)
- cleaned all rads (net has ice inside dome -- probably should replace dome next time)
- swapped 4H&5H on TP01 here as well
- Got Gordon and Steve to start 10 min TP01 cycling at lake and sage
Base
- Got printer to work by removing, shaking, and reinstalling color cartridge
- charged ScopeMeter
Sage (~1130-1200)
- after Steve and Gordon reported noisy data from TP01, I monitored the signals with a
DVM. Found TP01 working okay, but main PAM power cycling between 13.3-14.9 V. The
charge controller (began with "F"?) was clicking every 5 seconds corresponding to the
min and max of the voltage cycling. Temporarily fixed problem by removing solar panels
(and wind generator, but WG by itself didn't stop cycling). [Later reconnected ~1600]
Tower (Cody started these tasks while I was at Sage)
- reconnected bare.1.5m
- cleaned bare.1.5m
- reconnected grease
- cleaned grease
- cleaned all rads at grass
- checked that AMP connector on TP01 was wired properly (it was, though later found that
the colors are wrong)
- asked Gordon to turn off TP01 10-min cycling (back to 3 hr) at sage and lake and
turn on 10-min cycling at grass.
- checked that all logger screws were tight at 25m (they were)
- pulled in.b.25m and out.a.25m after doing "hand warming" test of (in order):
out.b.25m, out.a.25m, in.a.25m, in.b.25m [have confirmed that the channels were connected
as we expected: "a"="1"=south; "b"="2"=north]
~1500
- removed hauling rope and secured davit
- more tests of TP01 found that cable colors from sensor itself are probably wrong.
I couldn't make sense of them by measuring the resistance between wires. Left probe
connected with a guess at wiring, but probably wrong. Asked Gordon to reset cycling back
to 3 hrs.
- Dumped the calibrated amount of water into the rain gauge. The fluid level is about
at the midpoint of the cylinder (about 50cm below the top and about 8 cm above the
top of the "box").
- noted that only 490psi was left in Lo-Cal, so changed to new Lo-Cal bottle. We forgot
to note the new pressure, we think 1700-1800. My plan is to switch back to the first
Lo-Cal during the IOP, when we can get to it quickly once it runs out.
- finally removed stepladder from bare
Base (~1540)
- Stopped charging ScopeMeter
- Swapped USB disk
- Turned off oven
Sage (~1600)
- Reconnected solar panels
Left site.

Weather plots: Ptower is having problems and should be checked
out.
Rain: No data shown in first plot (raina stn0 and rainr.grass stn0).
Evaporation plot don't look good either.
Pam power: OK, but power at sage dropped from ~14 to ~12.7 at about
0100...battery was temporarily disconnected,hould be coming back up
soon.
Sonics 2m: u.2m at lake began to increase at after 0400 MST and peaked
at 19 m/s at 0800 MST while other stations remained near ~2m/s. w.2m
lake is looking bad. It drops to ~-1.0 m/s between 0400 and 0800,
during this time sage and tower spiked to ~-.8 and ~-.9.
Sonic profiles: data from 10m and 15m is quite different than that
coming from other sensors. for u component Between 0600-0900 the
sensors were reading between -10 and -15 m/s, while others were close
to 0 m/s. However the v component at these heights climbed to between
+10 and +15 m/s during this time. w component for most of the sensors
around this time frame looks bad too. All sensors seem to recover
shortly after 1000 MST.
Krytons: OK. Diurnal variation is present except at 2m. There appears
to be very little moisture over night at that level and voltage never
drops until 0900 MST. It seems to be working properly again after 0900.
H2O-kh2o: 20m still shows a diurnal difference (light leak?). This
didn't
change with cleaning on about 12/17.
Tv and P: Looks like pressure sensor was down over night. Brought back
up at 0900 MST
2m Sonic QC and profile: Flares up a bit between 0400 and 1000 MST
Sonic variance (2m and profile): All componnets flare up a bit between
0400 and 1000 MST with values reaching 10 m/s^2.
Scalar variance 2m: tc'tc'.2m lake got up to ~3.0 between 0400-1000
MST. kh20'kh2o'.2m got up to ~3.5 (g/m^3)^2 between
0400-0600 MST
Scalar variance: OK
Fluxes at 2m: Same deal, flares and glitches between 0400-1000 MST
Flux profiles: ""
CO2: Im not really sure what to make of this data. Sensor seems to
have gone down between 1800 on Jan 6 and 0930 on Jan 7, and then
recovered.
CO2 Moments: ""
TRH 2m difference: RH.2m sage-tower drops about 25% between 1000 and
1400 MST.
TRH profile difference: . OK
Short wave radiation: OK.
Long Wave Radiation: Rlw.in.a25m and Rlw.inb.25m were acting up
yesterday afternoon, calmed over night and then 25 m data jumped quite a
bit higher than others and remains there. Rlw.out.grease was not
looking good, looked like it was only reading 100
w/m^2 rather than 300 w/m^2 like the others, but recovered around 1100
MST. Rlw.out.a.25m stn0 seems to have started experiencing problems at
0200 MST.
|Tdome-Tcase|: out.grease.stn0 should be checked, also should check both
in and out of b.25m.stn0.
Tsoil: OK. Tsoil.2.5cm.a.sage still looks like it may be exposed to
air.
I'm just ignoring this, since we should have adequate Tsoil sampling.
All Tsoils.tower(grass) have a bit noise from the radiometer fans, but
this is
small enough that I'm ignoring it too.
Qsoil: Qsoil.c.10cm lake sensor still down. It might also a cable cut
(like the Gsoil.10cm.a problem found at lake), but will require more
digging
up snow to check. Currently, I'm ignoring this as well since there
probably
is enough redundancy in the Qsoil measurements.
Gsoil: Gsoil.c.10cm sage became bad as Tony and I were working at sage
on
12/18. One of us probably cut a cable. This should be fixed next
visit.
Soil Thermal properties: All of these signals look bad, despite "fixing"

One of the computers died on Jan 4, 2002 and affected all datasets
collected from sensors mounted near the bottom of the tower, through
0900 MST on Jan 6.
Pam power: OK.
Sonics: No uvw data from tower at or below 5m. Others look fine.
Krytons: OK. Diurnal variation is back. kh20.20m.stn0 spikes to 24
g/m^3at noon MST, appears to be a data glitch.
H2O-kh2o: 20m still shows a diurnal difference (light leak?). This

Sonic variance 2m: OK
Scalar variance 2m: kh20'kh2o'.2m got up to +4 (g/m3)2 between

no data after 0830 MST??
Fluxes at 2m: OK
Flux profiles: OK
CO2: Very little data because of downed computer.
CO2 Moments: Very little data.
TRH profile difference: . 5m and 30m may not have been working
correctly. Between 1000 and 1300 MST, when computer was brought back
up, 5m sensor was reading between 2 and 6 degrees higher than others and
was drier by 10-25%. 30m tower looks like it had a glitch just before
noon. Both seem to have recovered.
Short wave radiation: OK.
Long Wave Radiation: glitch in Rlw.out.4m.bare.stn0 and
Rlw.out.bare.stn0 of ~100(W/m2), both recovered almost immediately.
Rlw.out.grease is not looking good, looks like it's only reading 100
w/m2 rather than 300 w/m2 like the others.
|Tdome-Tcase|: out.grease.stn0 should be checked.
Tsoil: OK. Tsoil.2.5cm.a.sage still looks like it may be exposed to
air.
I'm just ignoring this, since we should have adequate Tsoil sampling.
All Tsoils.tower(grass) have a bit noise from the radiometer fans, but
this is
small enough that I'm ignoring it too.
Qsoil: Qsoil.c.10cm lake sensor still down. It might also a cable cut
(like the Gsoil.10cm.a problem found at lake), but will require more
digging
up snow to check. Currently, I'm ignoring this as well since there
probably

- 101: Soil, Site all stns, Tue 07-Jan-2003 13:40:58 MST, testing of thermal properties probes
At sage, 11:59 am, Jan 7, set the thermal properties cycle to 10 minutes
(from 180 minutes) so that Steve/Cody could check the voltages.
At 12:05, did the same at lake.
Steve determined at sage that the variation seen on Vheat is due to the
charging system.
At 1:30 pm, changed sage back to 180 minute cycle. At 1:32, changed
lake back.
At 1:37pm, changed grass to 10 minutes.
At 3:51pm, changed grass back to 180 minutes.
The TP instructions are numbers 68 and 72
The values for normal 3 hour cycling are:

Fog now mostly clear, but was thicker earlier -- especially at low levels.
Still thin wisps at bottom ~3m. Does this explain our krypton problems?
(but what is happening at 2m.tower?)
- 96: Status, Site tower, Mon 06-Jan-2003 18:29:31 MST, visit tasks
Here is an attempt to document what we did today [still a frustrating day]:
Conditions: snow deep (~40cm) some places, bare others, grass clumps poking
through. Completely clear today until evening and still only a few wisps
to the EAST. (We noted sunset at ~16:43, with no orographic clouds to the
west. NO WIND!
We left the base for the tower about 9:30.
- Rebooted cosmos, which had crashed at 14:50 on 1/4 (2 days ago) for some
unknown reason. Matrix LED was dull RED, Datel LED was off, Ironics LED was
1. and green.
- Installed grease [but data from Tdome still look strange]
- Installed Hi-cal regulator on CO2 system
- Hi-cal is ttl 0, Lo-cal is ttl 1
- Reset system flow rate (inside pump box) from 6 to 7 lpm
- Set Hi-cal to -2 lpm
- Reset Lo-cal to -2 lpm (was almost 0 after the above adjustment)
- Cylinder values: Lo-cal 575psi, Hi-cal 1800psi, both output pressures
~15 psi
- Visually inspected (most of) inlet line -- no problems noted
- Swapped cables at bare (both 1.5 and 4m). Noted that fan was working to
keep dome clear of icing that was present on the white shield, so didn't swap
fan. Data don't look any different from before. [We noted later that the
shadow of the main tower hits the bare site at noon, so dips due to
short-wave radiation are expected.]
- Remounted snow depth gauge to center of grass darkhorse (to avoid having
it view the darkhorse legs). Data are still very noisy. This sensor is not
suited for this purpose!
- Started work on the top of the tower:
- Swapped T/RH fan at 30m. Data still quite different. We'll probably have
to swap the entire sensor:(
- Cleaned krypton at 30m
- Swapped krytpon at 20m -- now SN1390 with a 2.0cm path.
- While attempting to clean krypton at 10m (and investigate the funny tilt
observed in the data), we broke the weld of the boom-tower clamp. It had
been rotated up and clearly was the source of the tilt. Brought boom into
tower and laid it on its side.
- Cleaned krypton at 2m.
We returned to the base from about 13:00-14:00.
- Back out to work on 25m. Pulled trolley in; removed top pygs; installed new
plate; reinstalled pygs; removed level; cleaned all pygs;
remounted level on new plate; tested
leveling [level reads as -.030, -.100]; ran trolley out - DOESN'T CLEAR;
brought trolley back; filed away edges of white shields [this took a while to
get right]; ran trolley out [FINALLY WORKS!] However, the data still are
strange. We'll have to do more tests (and may bring back a pyg or two)
tomorrow. I think the serial numbers are:
in.a 31975; in.b 31979; out.a 31974; out.b 31977 [Gordon says that these
correspond to Steve's cal-lab files]
- Figured out a fix to 10m -- remounted T/RH at 0.5 underneath 1m sonic boom
using hose clamps [now it is ~3cm higher]; stole the boom-tower clamp it was
using and remounted the 10m sonic; cleaned 10m krypton at this time. Note that
knowlege of the boom angle is now lost at this site, since the side guy wires
were loose once it was remounted.
- Tried to shoot boom angles with the DataScope. The angles definitely are
different, but the DataScope doesn't read accurate at large pitch angles and
you need to be pretty close to see the alignment. We will have to do
theodolite shoots on everything.
- Checked guy wire tension (see updated old entry).
- Checked TP01 wiring at grass by "beeping". The following table is from
memory:
Pin Color CR10
1 Green 4H
2 Black 5L
3 White 5H
4 Black 4L
7 Black Gnd
8 Red Switched 12V
9 Clear Shield
Red 12 V control to P8?
I think that these are correct, but the probe still doesn't work.
- Checked 2m krypton heater prototype. Control voltage works, but no heat or
air flow. Removed assembly for trailer testing [showed that pump is now dead,
but we melted the heaters demonstrating this!]
We got back to the base about 18:00.
- we still have a resident mouse

H2O-kh2o: 20m still shows a diurnal difference (light leak?). This didn't
change with cleaning on about 12/17.
Tv and P: tc.2m.sage(2) drops below -8 deg C twice around 1900 MST (1/2/02) while others measure between -2 and -6 deg. Pressure at tower still has temperature contamination.
Sonic variance 2m: OK
Scalar variance 2m: tc'tc'2m at sage(2) spikes up to 2.8 ~1900 MST (1/2/03) while other sensors measure <.5
Scalar variance: OK
Fluxes at 2m: OK
Flux profiles: OK
CO2: OK. Has been working since our visit on 12/18. However, only the
"low-cal" (tty 1) is connected due to a bad regulator. co2mr.2m quickly dropped from ~257 to ~222, jumped back up, then dove to ~231 all within the time frame of about an hour and a half ((0203 - 0400 MST 1/2/03).
CO2 Moments: shows problems with data during same time frame.
TRH: OK, though the RH profiles are not monotonic.
Short wave radiation: OK.
Long Wave Radiation: OK
|Tdome-Tcase|: in.4m.bare has about the same amount of variation but values are slightly higher.
Tsoil: OK. Tsoil.2.5cm.a.sage still looks like it may be exposed to air.
I'm just ignoring this, since we should have adequate Tsoil sampling.
All Tsoils.tower(grass) have a bit noise from the radiometer fans, but this is
small enough that I'm ignoring it too.
Qsoil: Qsoil.c.10cm lake sensor still down. It might also a cable cut
(like the Gsoil.10cm.a problem found at lake), but will require more digging
up snow to check. Currently, I'm ignoring this as well since there probably
is enough redundancy in the Qsoil measurements.
Gsoil: Gsoil.c.10cm sage became bad as Tony and I were working at sage on
12/18. One of us probably cut a cable. This should be fixed next visit.
Soil Thermal properties: All of these signals look bad, despite "fixing" the
wiring problem at tower (grass). I've expected that it will take a while to
get good data from these, since there was a small air gap around the probes
after installation; however, the data look even worse. In particular, each
"event" on Vheat should look like a square wave toggling between 0 and 1 V.
The "Vpile" signal at tower looks close to the signal expected for Vheat, but
at the wrong amplitude.
Wind direction profile: OK, though there probably are biases of 1-2 degrees
(despite aligning the booms by eye up and down the tower and shooting boom
angles that were mostly the same). We'll need to check these angles again.
- 94: CO2, Site tower, Fri 03-Jan-2003 09:19:13 MST, Calibration gas regulator installation
How to install the regulator on the caltank and adjust the cal-gas flow
Insert the regulator male fitting into the cylinder female screw thread.
Hand tighten the notched nut. REMEMBER THAT IT IS A LEFT-HANDED THREAD
Use the wrench from the pump box to tighten the nut, really tight.
Unscrew the regulator adjust until loose.
Close the regulator outlet valve.
Open the cylinder valve.
Note the cylinder pressure. Should be 1500 psi or so
Screw in the regulator adjust until the second stage reads 5 psi or so.
Connect, finger tight, the floating ball guage to intake
Monitor the intake flow of the CO2 intake. It should be 6-7 lpm
If it is too low close down the aspirator pump bypass valve
If it is too high open up the aspirator pump bypass valve
ASSUME THAT LO-CAL IS THE EXISTING CONNECTED CYLINDER
Command the Lo-cal gas solenoid to open; ttl_on cosmos 0 CHECK THIS
The Lo-cal gas flow of ~ 7-8 lpm should overflow out the intake at ~ 1-2 lpm
Reverse the flow connection of the floating ball guage
If overflow is too low increase the regulator adjust
If overflow is too high decrease the regulator adjust
Command the Lo-cal gas solenoid to close; ttl_off cosmos 0 CHECK THIS
ASSUME THAT HI-CAL IS THE NEWLY CONNECTED CYLINDER
Command the Hi-cal gas solenoid to open; ttl_on cosmos 1 CHECK THIS
Open the regulator outlet valve
The second stage pressure will fall, screw in the regulator adjust to ~ 5-10 psi
The Hi-cal gas flow of ~ 7-8 lpm should overflow out the intake at ~ 1-2 lpm
If overflow is too low increase the regulator adjust
If overflow is too high decrease the regulator adjust
Command the Hi-cal gas solenoid to close; ttl_off cosmos 0 CHECK THIS
Return Lo-cal solenoid to microprocessor control; ttl_reset cosmos0
Return Hi-cal solenoid to microprocessor control; ttl_reset cosmos1

There were no rain tips between Nov 20 and Dec 16, even during

appear to be a software issue.
- 89: Status, Site tower, Fri 27-Dec-2002 16:27:46 MST, tower stuff
I never did log the events of the afternoon of 12/18 at the end of our last
visit:
CO2: It took us a while to diagnose a cabling problem between the adam ttl
control and Tony's CO2 box. (They weren't wired 1-to-1, though the
interconnecting cable was after its last repair!) We exchanged the power and
ground pins inside the CO2 box which got things working. Tony adjusted flows.
However, one of the regulators was bad, so we only left lo-cal working. I
note that, with the current wiring, lo-cal is controlled as ttl channel 1
(not 0).
Thermal properties: We found a deviation in the CR10 wiring from what we
expected, so Cody switched wires to 4H and 5H at grass. The data show that
something is still wrong.
Grease: We installed the darkhorse, leveled everything, and had it running,
but the data only showed good Tdome values. Thus, I pulled the radiometer
and cable and brought it back to Boulder. (This was easier than disconnecting
the cable!) It turned out to be swapped pins in the new cable we had made.
We'll reinstall this when we go back up.
- 88: Status, Site all stns, Fri 27-Dec-2002 15:53:27 MST, Daily Status Dec 27
None of us have been systematically looking at data over X-mas, but here are
the things Gordon and I have observed:
--------------------------------
Pam power: OK. The (new) lake wind generator is producing enough to keep
the batteries happy, especially with the high winds we have been getting.
Iload still is different between lake and sage -- cause still unknown.
Sonics: OK!
Krytons: Heating of 2m.tower is now off. The heating didn't seem to be as
effective as it should have (perhaps the tubes became misaligned?) and Gordon
may have melted it by now by overheating to compensate.
H2O-kh2o: 20m still shows a diurnal difference (light leak?). This didn't
change with cleaning on about 12/17.
Tv and P: Pressure at tower still has temperature contamination.
Sonic variance 2m: OK
Scalar variance: 10m and 30m seem noisy. 2m tower has a low level of noise
(non-zero variance).
Fluxes at 2m: OK
Flux profiles: OK
CO2: OK. Has been working since our visit on 12/18. However, only the
"low-cal" (tty 1) is connected due to a bad regulator. We note that the
pressure drop down the line is almost exactly 10% (P.licor ~660, P ~730),
which is a reasonable value.
TRH: OK, though the RH profiles are not monotonic. This could be fetch
related, but it is more likely that there are up to 2% biases in the sensors.
I'm also not completely convinced that there aren't some small biases on
the T values, though the data have looked pretty good lately.
Short wave radiation: OK. We've noticed a sharp drop in incoming in the
evenings. We suspect that this is caused by the elevated horizon of the
mountains, though it could also be effected by a lee-wave cloud caused by
the mountains. It would be fun to plot the horizon (using the sun_angle from
the various days). More effective probably would be to log the conditions
and time when the sun disappears during the next visit.
Long Wave Radiation: Rlw.in.4m.bare still looks bad to a greater or lesser
degree. I've thought this was snow build-up due to a weak fan, but may be
wrong. Grease is still not installed (but now ready to go on the next trip).
|Tdome-Tcase|: 25m.in.a, 25m.out.b, and bare in.4m.bare all seem worse than
they should be (up to 0.5C).
Tsoil: OK. Tsoil.2.5cm.a.sage still looks like it may be exposed to air.
I'm just ignoring this, since we should have adequate Tsoil sampling.
All Tsoils.tower(grass) have a bit noise from the radiometer fans, but this is
small enough that I'm ignoring it too.
Qsoil: Qsoil.c.10cm lake sensor still down. It might also a cable cut
(like the Gsoil.10cm.a problem found at lake), but will require more digging
up snow to check. Currently, I'm ignoring this as well since there probably
is enough redundancy in the Qsoil measurements.
Gsoil: Gsoil.c.10cm sage became bad as Tony and I were working at sage on
12/18. One of us probably cut a cable. This should be fixed next visit.
Soil Thermal properties: All of these signals look bad, despite "fixing" the
wiring problem at tower (grass). I've expected that it will take a while to
get good data from these, since there was a small air gap around the probes
after installation; however, the data look even worse. In particular, each
"event" on Vheat should look like a square wave toggling between 0 and 1 V.
The "Vpile" signal at tower looks close to the signal expected for Vheat, but
at the wrong amplitude.
Wind direction profile: OK, though there probably are biases of 1-2 degrees
(despite aligning the booms by eye up and down the tower and shooting boom
angles that were mostly the same). We'll need to check these angles again.
- 87: Kryptons, Site tower, Tue 24-Dec-2002 22:25:47 MST, stopped krypton_heat script
The 2 meter krypton heater was turned on for much of last night
but is didn't have any effect - apparently it has burned out.
SteveO said it wasn't designed to be run for lengthy periods -
perhaps the resistor strip melted the hose.
I have stopped the krypton_heat script.
- 86: Kryptons, Site tower, Sun 22-Dec-2002 22:40:06 MST, krypton heater at 2m on tower
kh2oV at the 2 meter kryptons started falling at about 18:00 MST tonight,
Dec 22, showing the signature of a frost event.
The krypton_heat script worked correctly and turned on the heater
control line for 2 minutes starting at 19:35:15 MST. The voltage
kept dropping and so every 20 minutes it turned the heater on again.
However I can see no effect in the data - the voltage kept falling.
At 22:24:30 I turned it on manually, until 22:37:15 when the script
turned it off. No effect was seen in the data. 10 second averages
of kh2oV.2m stayed around 0.0035 V and didn't show any upward trend.
At 22:51:00 MST I turned it the heater line on again. The krypton
voltage is still bottomed out at 0.003 V.
At 23:00 MST I changed the script to leave the heater on until
the voltage goes above 0.05 V. Each level is checked every
5 minutes.
FYI: To create 10 second averages of kh2oV.2m
prep -r 0.1 -D kh2oV.2m
The history of heater control is saved in files on
$ASTER/projects/FLOSSII/cal_files/kh2oV.*
It is also written to syslog, and so it is in the isff logs.
Added, morning of Dec 23: It took 40 minutes to bring kh2oV from
.004 at 23:10 MST to .05 V at 23:50 last night.

weighed and then left to dry until the next visit.
In all cases the ~20 cm of snow was removed and the ice crust atop the soil

Visited sage from ~0945-1100:
- turned on rad fans with cap
- cleaned rads
- did pyg shadow tests
- cleaned krypton
- installed TP01
- tested e-fence (showed 1000V, but not a good ground connection)
- removed SDR disk 1, inserted disk 5.
- Q1&Q2 are installed on EVE front panel

Visited lake from ~0800-0945.
- staked down new solar panel
- spliced break in hft.a cable (but just by twisting wires and with e-tape,
since I couldn't get the butane soldering iron to stay on
- all data now look okay on EVE console
Cody went back and taped up the hft cables below the soil mux box.
- 77: Radiometers, Site tower, Wed 18-Dec-2002 10:08:57 MST, Boom PYG mount Modification
When initially we tried to extend the trolly out on the
boom we had the problem that we could not extend it all the way out because
the radiometer housings were too close together for the locking tab to fit
through them at the end. To fix this problem we tried unscrewing all but
one of the four screws holding in the radiometer housings on each of
the top two radiometers. We then rotated them outward and attached the
housings to the trolly using panduit ties going from the unsecured screws
to the braces of the trolly. This held well, but when we tried to extend
the trolly once more, the fan on the left or southern side of the trolly hit
the corresponding guide wire. We left the trolly for the night and tried
again to fix it this morning (12/18/2002). We changed the position of the
problem radiometer by rotating it differently so that it could get by the
guide wire and was also far enough from the center so that the locking
tab could fit through. We also replaced the panduit ties holding the
radiometer down with some wire so that we didn't have to worry about
the panduit ties breaking. When we now attempted to send out the trolly
we were successull in reaching the end of the boom. We are still having
some problems with the locking mechanism grabbing onto the trolly, but that
problem was not one that could be fixed without taking the entire boom
down and readjusting the lock.

- 72: Radiometers, Site tower, Tue 17-Dec-2002 16:58:14 MST, 4m rads up
~1330? the 4m rads were up and connected. I leveled and cleaned them. Fan
is on to the top housing.
We still haven't plugged in the 1.5m bare due to a lack of a cable.
- 71: Radiometers, Site tower, Tue 17-Dec-2002 16:37:04 MST, Installation of boom pyrgeometers
From 8:00 - 10:30 hauled up the boom trolley, the big white box and the cabling.
The pyrg leveling platform fitted on the trolley cross-wise. Even so the trolley
could not pass the latching device as the pygs in their housing were too close
together.
From 14:30 - 16:60 modified the mounting of the pyrgs in their housings to yield
a greater separation. The level mounting was also modified. The south pyrg fan
then would not clear the lower stabilizing guy.
An ad hock arrangement will be contrived.
For a later time: Bring a drill and bits, centerpunch and tap to make new
mounting holes.This can be done on the tower.

11:40 Sage site. .At B, dug away 10 cm of snow. There was a 2 -3 cm ice crust
on the soil surface. Very hard going to sink the core as the ground was frozen.
Although the snow was completely removed from the surface before coring the ice
incorporated in the soil melted in the base to yield mud.
The corer stem broke and had to be replaced with a pice of pipe.

installed has a new fan (which is quieter than the one we just removed.)
This done about 11:00.

- 66: Status, Site lake, Mon 16-Dec-2002 17:51:13 MST, stuff
Several other tasks at lake:
- capacitor added to fan (only upward PSP) and fan turned on ~16:30
- radiometers cleaned
- Rnet releveled (off a bit)
- Krypton cleaned
- Q1 and Q2 are installed in EVE
- Electric fence shows 5000V
- Freewave Tx power set to 5 (I'm not sure if this was what is was or not)
- SDR was on, seemed to be working, seemed quiet, #2
- 65: Power, Site lake, Mon 16-Dec-2002 17:48:00 MST, Wind generator swapped
We tried playing with the pot on the old wind generator (clockwise, counter-
clockwise, mid point) but were unable to get the prop to turn much. Thus,
we replaced the entire unit with a new one (405, rather than 403?). This
done from about 14:30-16:30.
Also, we put an extra solar panel for the electric fence and connected the
old 3rd panel with the others for more station power. We still need to
stake this down.
- 64: Kryptons, Site tower, Mon 16-Dec-2002 17:46:35 MST, krypton heater added
We mounted the heater on the krypton at about 13:00. It was connected through
cosmos about 16:00 (Tony may elaborate). Thus, we should have some data on
this system tonight.
- 63: Base, Site base, Mon 16-Dec-2002 17:43:45 MST, aster rebooted
When testing the krypton heater script, a member of our software team
accidentally killed several aster processes about 20:10Z. ASTER was rebooted
here about 21:30Z and the adams rebooted about 30min later.
- 62: Eve, Site lake, Mon 16-Dec-2002 17:42:10 MST, EVE rebooted
EVE could not talk to /card or /ramdisk. After talking to John, I pulled the
PCMCIA module from the backplane and rebooted. The station appears to be fine
now.
- 61: Soil, Site lake, Mon 16-Dec-2002 17:40:33 MST, TP01 installed
TP01 SN 200235 installed at lake site ~1645. It is installed about at 5cm in
the frozen sand. It still has an air gap, though somewhat neater (and thus
smaller) than at the tower site -- I'm learning.
- 60: Soil, Site tower, Mon 16-Dec-2002 17:34:16 MST, TP01 installed
TP01 SN 200234 installed at tower site ~1345. (It was connected an hour
earlier, but it was on top of the snow.) It is installed about at 5cm in
the (peat-like) dirt. I'm sure that there is an air-gap beside it, but
hopefully this will heal with time.

- 58: Base, Site tower, Mon 16-Dec-2002 13:21:58 MST, krypton heater script
Commands for krypton heaters on the tower:
start_krypton_heat starts script which controls krypton heaters on tower
stop_krypton_heat stops script
The krypton_heat script runs itself every 5 minutes. It cycles
through the 4 kryptons on the tower, and therefore will visit
each kryton every 20 minutes.
krypton_heat gets the latest 5 minute value of kh2oV.2m, kh2oV.10m,
kh2oV.20m or kh2oV.30m, using ncprint on the netcdf file. If
the value is less than 0.05 V, then the appropriate ttl_on
command is sent to the adam, and after 2 minutes, ttl_off
is sent.
The adam name, the ttl port of the krypton heater, the trigger voltage,
and the amount of time to leave the heater on is set in the script,
for each kh2oV variable. If these are changed, do a a stop/start
to restart the script:

Since Rlw.in at lake has not been correct since the beginning
of the project (due to a bad Tcase.in) a special version of
dat.Rlw.in has been written which just sets Rlw.in at lake equal
to Rlw.in at sage.
Using the corrected Rlw.in, then Rsum compares well with Rnet at lake,
so I don't believe Rnet needs to be replaced.

Dec 11, 10:27 MST:
Added 10 millisecond delay to P11 instruction (#50) which is used to
sample T107 Tsoil probes. This is the 03 parameter, which we
changed from 1 to 21.
Lab testing showed that this reduces
noise, and so we hope this will reduce the noise on Tsoil that
we see when the radiometer fans are on.
This changed reduced the noise significantly, except on the 10cm
probes, which are sampled at another point in the CR10 code.

Sonics: small glitch in w.2m at sage, dropped to -.20 at little after 5:00 am
MST.
krytons: voltage of sensor at kh2o.2m tower recorded negative values between about 0500-0900 MST 12/8, and after 2200 MST 12/8 until 0900 MST the morning of the 9th. Heaters?
Tv and P: Pressure is off at tower.
Scalar variance: kh2o'kh20'.2m tower shot up to 4 (g/m^3)^2 after 2000 MST 12/8. It recovered at about 0900 MST 12/9. Probabley frost in the kryton.
Flux profiles: w'kh2o.30m stn0 spiked to .24 at 0800 MST.
TRH: OK
Radiation:
Absence of pergeometer at lake site causes spikes, and missing values. It affects Rsum lake and the long wave incoming lake site trace.
|Tdome-Tcase|: lake plot also affected by removal of pergeometer.
Tsoil: Sensors at the tower are noisy because fans are running (they need to be turned off). Tsoil.2.5cm sage still having problems.
Qsoil: Qsoil.c.10cm lake sensor still down. Need to check on next trip to site.
Gsoil: spikes and glitches in Gsoil.c.10cm.lake
RH: For first two plots, second sensor above ground, between 1:00-12:00, reads more moist (~5%) than the other in all but two of the profiles.

| Graphic: | Barometer error
We've seen this problem before (CASES99/OASIS98): a temperature error on the
ASTER barometers (but not PAM). Attached is a plot which shows the difference
between the ASTER and PAM barometers on the top panel. The bottom panel is the
same after correcting using:
x <- dat("P")
x[,1] <- x[,1] + (1/7)*dat("T")[,1] - 0.8
(i.e., a 1mb change per 7degC change and a small bias).
In the future (even now??), we really should use the PAM barometers for ASTER
-- 5mb is getting to be a large error.

- 36: Camera, Site tower, Wed 27-Nov-2002 11:24:14 MST, Camera white balance documentation
From the help page for the Axis camera:
White Balance
White balance can be described as the reference color against which all other
colors in an image are compared. The resident white balancing system in the
AXIS 2420 automatically detects white colors in any image and uses these
intelligently as a reference for other colors. From the drop-down list,
select a suitable balance setting for your camera's local environment.
The available white balance options are described below:
* Automatic Normal: Appropriate across the entire color bandwidth, this
automatic setting causes the AXIS 2420 to search for a white reference area
within the image, and all other colors are then adjusted proportionally.
Generally suitable for most environments filled with both artificial white
light, and sunlight.
* Automatic Narrow: This setting causes the AXIS 2420 to search for a
white reference area in the image using narrow limits of the color range.
All other colors are adjusted proportionally. The automatic color adjustment
is turned off if an appropriate white reference area can not be identified.
* Automatic Wide: This setting causes the AXIS 2420 to search for a
white reference area in the image, using no limits at all. All other colors
are adjusted proportionally. This setting gives natural colors in most
environments.
Note: In environments that do not contain white areas, another color
will be defined as white; i.e. a red object that covers the entire image
will appear as gray.
* Automatic Fast: The same as Automatic Wide (described above),
but with faster adjustment time.
* Indoor Light Bulbs: Fixed color adjustment; ideal for a room with
some artificial light other than fluorescent lighting; for example, areas
illuminated using standard light bulbs. Good for normal light temperatures
up to 3200K.
* Indoor Fluorescent 1: Fixed color adjustment; good for fluorescent
tube light with color temperatures of 4200K
* Indoor Fluorescent 2: Fixed color adjustment; good for fluorescent
tube light with color temperatures between of 4700K
* Outdoor: General fixed color adjustment that is appropriate for
outdoor applications under good skylight (color temperatures of 6300K).
Note: In certain situations, the white balancing system will not operate
effectively. Problems generally occur if the image does not contain any
white color at all, or if the dominant color is something other than white.
In these circumstances, the AXIS 2420 can erroneously base the white balance
on another visible color in the image, and consequently, the colors may be
distorted: a pale background picture with foreground objects of an acute
reddish or blue hue are very symptomatic of this condition, and in such
cases we recommend that you operate the AXIS 2420 in a fixed white balance
mode.

- 31: Base, Site base, Thu 21-Nov-2002 13:57:57 MST, Swapping USB data disks
We have two 120Gb Maxtor USB disks, labled USB#1 and USB#2 that we
alternate on the base system. They provide a backup copy of the high
rate data and a way to to shuttle the data back to Boulder.
Here is how to swap the USB disks on aster. You do not need
to reboot to do this.
0. Check that the red light on the front of the disk is not lit.
For a minute or two at about 10:15 am and 6:15 pm MST, files
are copied to it, so you may have to wait a bit.
1. From the aster account (does not have to be root), enter umount
command in a shell window:
umount /mnt/usbhd
If the disk is in use, you will get an error to that effect. Wait
a minute, then try again.
2. Wait until red light on front of drive stops flashing.
3. Unplug silver USB cable from back of drive
4. Unplug power from drive.
5. Plug power into second drive. Wait 5 seconds or so for it to spin up.
6. Plug USB cable into second drive.
7. Enter mount command:
mount /mnt/usbhd
You're done.
On Nov 21, the drive labeled USB#2 is in use and USB#1 was taken back
to Boulder.

On Thurs, 10 Oct''02 Tony and John visited the FLOSS site
The Echo soil sensors at Sage, Lake and Grass were reinstalled.
They had been installed horizontally the previous week and had been watered
to help them meld into the soil. This melding was apparently sucessful at
Sage and Lake, where the soil was suitable, but not so sucessful at Grass,
where the soil was actually peat.
The Echo probes were reinstalled vertically, with their midlines at the
designated depths of 5 cm and 10 cm. They were positions at right angles
to each other with ~12cm between their cabled ends.

The sensors apparently didn't have the white dot and were installed
up-side down. This is very apparent in the data.
Fix: can either be swap wires in logger, or change sign of logger coef.

10/10/02
Soil Echo Probes Rotated:
from Horizontal to Vertical orientation at Sage/Lake/Grass.
Water was dumped on to help bed the sensors in. Tony said they already
were looking good in that respect.
The logger cable was added to the Lake site. Both Sage/Lake are now reporting
data through goes.

Guy wire tensions on the tall (114'/35m) tower are as follows
Note: Guy Wire Numbers are BOTTOM to TOP
Notes:
- 10/03/02 Readings taken before adjustments and tower raised.
- 10/10/02 Readings taken in a stiff S-SW wind @ >6m/s at sfc.
I could see the tensions changing (30-40) along with the velocity.
- 11/20/02 Readings taken in calm air.
- 1/6/03 Readings taken in calm air.
- 2/18/03 dead calm, Tony Delany

- 1: Soil, Site all stns, Tue 08-Oct-2002 08:48:09 MDT, Installation of soil sensors
On 2 Oct''02 the locations for the soil sensors for Grass, Sage and Lake
soil sensor arrays were chosen by Tony, Steve O and Jielun.
Tony installed the sensors at Grass and Sge on 2 Oct and installed the
sensors at Lake on the 3 Oct. After installation the sensors were wetted down
with approximately 6 liters of water to "bed them in". It is anticipated that
given another month of warm weather the local soil moisture will come to
equilibrium before the start of the program in December.
