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.

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).
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.
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.
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.
14:30 4m scaffold, removed doughnut and cleaned domes
14:32 Ice.a and Ice.b ditto
14:45 - 14:55 Drew in boom. S pyrg already clear, removed doughnut from N pyrg.
The fans were unplugged with the N fan's wires cut.
Left trolley inboard until we fix fan wiring.
16:10 -16:20 Remounted fans and powered up. Fans operated.
Ran out the trolley BUT THE TROLLEY DIDN'T GO ALL THE WAY

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

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.

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.

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:

- 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"
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.

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
didn't
change with cleaning on about 12/17.
Tv and P: OK
Sonic variance 2m: OK
Scalar variance 2m: kh20'kh2o'.2m got up to +4 (g/m3)2 between
0400-0600 MST
Scalar variance: tc'tc'.10m has a small gap of missing data at 0000
MST. kh2o'kh2o'.10m stn0 has missing data just after 0500 MST and then
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

- 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:
MODE 01:0000 68\r\n
68:P92 \r\n
01:0000 \r\n
02:0180 \r\n
03:30 \r\n
\r\n
MODE 01:0000 72\r\n
72:P92 \r\n
01:0003 \r\n
02:0180 10\r\n
03:30 \r\n
\r\n
For 10 minute cycling, change the second parameter from 180 to 10.

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?)
- 95: Status, Site all stns, Fri 03-Jan-2003 15:33:48 MST, Daily Status Jan 3
Pam power: OK.
Sonics: OK.
Krytons: OK. No diurnal variation.
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

Krytons: Heating of 2m.tower is off. The heating of other krytons still doesn't seem to be working.
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 2m: Doesn't look good. kh2o'kh20'.2m for all sites shoots up to 4+ at various times.
Scalar variance: 10m and 30m seem noisy between 1800 MST on 1/1 and 0000 MST 1/2
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.
Short wave radiation: OK.
Long Wave Radiation: Rlw.in.4m.bare still looks bad to a greater or lesser
degree.
|Tdome-Tcase|: in.4m.bare all seems likes it's off, it has much greater variation then other sensors.
Tsoil: OK. Tsoil.2.5cm.a.sage still looks like it may be exposed to air.

Attached are tilt plots over the last month. All show small biases (3cm max?),
and reasonable angles (1.3deg max?). There are some bad periods (icing?) in
the upper sonics. More serious is that the 10m level had a bias shift sometime.
I'll have to investigate this more.

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.

Sonics: The 2m sonic QC (last plot) and the Profile sonic QC (last plot)
look different than I've seen before. Values are below 100% and there
appear to be a few data gaps. Please take a look at.
Krytons: OK.
H2O-kh2o: sensor at 2m.lake is OK, others may not be. Between 0900 and
1100 MST there were downward spikes and then they suddenly jumped up ~2
g/m3 (or more)
Tv and P: Pressure at tower is bad.
Sonic variance 2m: Large spike (~5.8 (m/s)2) in u'u.2m lake on Dec 17
at 2050 MST
Scalar variance: kh20'kh20'.2m lake had spikes of 2.7 and 3.8 at about

drops significantly on Dec 17, 0300MST and again between Dec 17 2300-Dec
18 0200.
|Tdome-Tcase| : OK. Sensors at bare and grease, I assume, are still be
worked on.
Tsoil: Sensor error at soil.2.5cm. Others look good.
Qsoil: Qsoil.c.10cm lake sensor still down. Need to check.
Gsoil: Gsoil.c.10cm sage(2) and Gsoil.a.10cm lake(3) aren't acting

The Sage, Lake and Grass C soil samples were not treated the same as were
the A and B. Rather, the cores were extracted in toto and will be used for
bulk density determination. Because of the limitation of the balance the cores
were broken in two. The core portions were put into larger Al container, were
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
surface was broken and removed. At Grass dead grass stalks were also removed.

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.

11/20/02
Turned off fans at Lake: Noise on Tsoil data eliminated through
morning.
11/21/02-am
Lake 9:20 local. (no fans)
Fairly heavy ice/rime on 2 up looking rads and rnet
A few crystals also on csat but the Krypton appeared clean.
Sage 9:30 local (with fans)
Heavy ice/rime on rsw.in and rnet. The rsw.in appeared more crusty
than at Lake, which may be perhaps worse than simple crystals.
The rlw.in appeared clean.
The rsw/rlw.out had a small amount of crystals forming on them.
Csat had quite a bit of crystals on lower transducers. Gordon reports
minimal flagging of the data and it overall looks good.
- 20: Status, Site all stns, Mon 18-Nov-2002 21:10:33 MST, November setup
Nov 18:
SteveS, Kurt, John, Kyle and Gordon on site.
PAM stations (sage, lake) reconfigured to send fast data
over freewaves, and no slow data over GOES.
Base up, with GPS, UPS, and PPP to Earthlink configured.
Copying IP address, logbook and netcdf files to Boulder.
Power laid to main tower, bottom two sonic booms on.
Nov 19:
Pam stations in good shape - need notes from John.

- 7: Soil, Site all stns, Mon 14-Oct-2002 10:02:32 MDT, FLOSS02 soil sensors
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.

- 3: Soil, Site all stns, Fri 11-Oct-2002 14:48:08 MDT, Soil Echo Probes Rotated to Vertical
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.
- 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.
