Tsoil.2.5cm.a.sage still looks like it may be exposed to
air. Im just ignoring this, since we should have adequate Tsoil
sampling. All Tsoil tower(grass) have a bit nit of noise from the
radiometer fans, but this is small enough that I'm ignoring it too.
Qsoil: Sensors are acting strangely. At sage, a.5cm, b.5cm and c.5cm all increase from ~5 % to ~25 % between 1600 MST 3/11/02 and 1400 MST (which is as much of the plot as I can see at this time). Qsoil.c.5cm.lake is behaving the same although it increased from ~13 % to 35% and looks like it is most probablely still increasing.
Qsoil.c.10cm lake sensor still down. It might also be a cable
cut (like the Gsoil.10.cm.a problem found at lake), but will require
more digging up of snow to check. Currently, I'm ignoring this as well
since there is probably enough redundancy in the Qsoil measurements.
Gsoil: OK. Gsoil.c.10cm.sage still bad, the cable was probably cut. Needs

May be experiancing some problems also. Gsoil.a.10cm tower trace is different than what other sensors are measuring.

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

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

V.
The "Vpile" signal at tower looks close to the signal expected for
Vheat, but
at the wrong amplitude.

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
Fluxes at 2m: OK
Flux profiles: Very irregular between 0200 and 0900 MST.
CO2: OK
CO2 Moments: OK
TRH 2m difference: it seems that when RH.2m sage-tower drops significantly lake-tower increases by about the same magnitude.
TRH profile difference: . OK
Short wave radiation: OK.
Long Wave Radiation: Rlw.inb.25m looks to have crashed. Rlw.out.a.25m stn0 is continueing to experiance problems.
|Tdome-Tcase|: out.a.25m is reading higher than others. Also, b.25m.stn0 appears to have crashed.
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.
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

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

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

I'm just ignoring this, since we should have adequate Tsoil sampling.

- 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

- 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.

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
