- 189: Radiometers, Site All, Wed 12-Mar-2008 07:41:07 MDT, Post Q7 tests
Dave Whiteman asked if we could do some follow-up tests on the Q7 sensors
because data analysis of the horizontal Q7s deployed on the slopes is
questionable.
Out at Marshall, a 4 component radiation system has been deployed along with
three Q7 units. The 4 component system along with the center Q7 is the same
system deployed at the floor site of METCRAX. The 2 other Q7s are from west
upper. The west upper sensors are evenly spaced between the 4-comp and the
end of the dark horse.
The plan is to rotate in the other Q7 units over the next 3 to 4 weeks
depending on sky conditions.

- 188: Soil, Site All, Thu 09-Aug-2007 15:51:48 MDT, Qsoil adjustments
Based on the manual measurements (gravimetric+TRIME) in the previous entry,
I've adjusted biases on the Qsoil measurements, which match to within typically
1%. Note that we don't have enough variability in the manual measurements to
determine if the slope should be corrected:
flr no correction
el +5%
wl +4%
eu +5%
wu +5%
rim no correction

- 186: Soil, Site All, Wed 23-May-2007 12:02:35 MDT, Change of Qsoil calibration to mineral soil
Alan suggests changing the Qsoil calibration from
Qsoil = 0.000695*Vqsoil(mV) - .29
to that for mineral soils, which is
Qsoil = 0.00119 * Vqsoil - .401.
Thus the archived data should be changed by
Q.new = 1.7122 * Q.old + 0.0955
[Actually, this is wrong -- this is for Qsoil as a fraction, but we save Qsoil
in %. Thus, the correction should be: Q.new = 1.7122*Q.old + 9.55....Steve O.]
[Furthermore, this appears to be a misread of the Ech2o manual. I believe that
the top equation is correct for the EC-20 probes that we used (in any soil).
Nevertheless, I've adjusted biases based on manual measurements -- see later
comments...Steve O.]
- 185: Radiometers, Site West_Lower, Tue 15-May-2007 15:02:51 MDT, Horizontal Rnet at wl had wrong coefficients
2/9/07:
I decided to use west lower as the radiation system for CHATS and did a check
of the coefficients. I notice an error in the values used for the horizontal Q7.They had coefficients of 8.57 (+) and 10.53(-). The values should have been
9 (+) and 11.22 (-). I am assuming that the Q7 locations were not changed
during setup.

- 182: Radiometers, Site All, Mon 09-Apr-2007 14:08:40 MDT, Licor shadowband sensors
During METCRAX 2 Licor pyranometers were used in a shadowband mode at the rim
site and the floor site. These sensors were sent back to Licor for
calibrations after the project. Below are the results of those calibrations.
During the calibration Licor noticed a scratch on the diffuser of PY7122.They
went ahead and repaired the sensor before any calibration. This resulted in
a major calibration change for this sensor. Therefore, the pre-project
calibration should be used for this sensor.

Everything else looks good at all stations.
- 166: Data, Site All, Mon 20-Nov-2006 15:57:44 MST, merge and new 5 minute statistics
The METCRAX dataset has been merged from
the separate flr_*,el_*, etc files into
isff_YYmmdd_HHMMSS.dat files.
The 5 minute statistics have been re-computed. All
the data in $ISFF/projects/METCRAX/ISFF/netcdf is
from the new run.
Known issues:
The nidas code can't yet do time-dependent calibrations
so the wrong cal coefficients were used at floor
and rim for some periods.
floor: krypton 1101 was at 2m initially, then replaced on Oct 9
by #1397. New statistics used the cal coeff for 1397 for
the entire project. Therefore the kh2o.2m data up to Oct 9
was computed with the wrong coefficients.
rim: krypton 1397 was initially at rim. It was removed on Oct 9
and then on Oct 20, 1394 was installed at rim.
New statistics were computed with 1397 cal coefs for the
entire time. Therefore the kh2o.3m data after Oct 9 was
computed with the wrong coefficients.

10/31/06: A final quick summary:
On site: Steve Oncley, Kurt Knudson, Chris Golubieski. We expect AJ to arrive
today.
IOP#7 ended with a whimper. 3 of Dave's people spent the night in the crater,
but only got 9 soundings with one tethersonde (as opposed to over 100 with 3
sondes during earlier IOPs) because of high winds. Our tower data didn't see
drainage flows develop.
Dave has now declared the end of operations. He has spent the morning tearing
out many of his "Hobos" and the 3 who were in the crater have been packing up
their tent.
Thus, ISFF has started teardown. sw is completely down and packed now. We also
went into the crater this morning and helped Sebastian start to remove sensors
from the radiative flux divergence tower at floor. [While there, we also
installed TP01 cabling in "flr"'s logger to be able to get 2 days of Csoil
values.]
Our understanding is that Lou was going to start dismantling the ISS radiosonde
system after this morning's 9AM sounding was complete.
Minor problem:
For the second day in a row, "covar" crashed on wl causing missing values in last night's web plots. restarting the adam data collection worked to get the
values updated again. Local storage of raw data appears to have been continuous
(no data were lost).

We have just discovered that the wiring to the Amp connector inside the logger
box for the TP01 is completely missing, thus we have never acquired data from
this sensor for METCRAX. My guess is that the wiring might have been removed
from this box to fix another box during either TREX or CuPIDO and never

- 154: Radiometers, Site , Mon 30-Oct-2006 11:09:53 MST, radiometer [post posting]
On September 28, Dave Whiteman requested the re-orientation of five
sawhorses -- floor, lower and upper east, and lower and upper west. The
remaining two were not adjusted -- the rim and the sodar site. The floor
sawhorse was moved to the northeast to reduce reflections from the salt
pan that was to the south of its original position. Adjustments to the
slope sawhorses were made as follows. First, we oriented the sawhorse
rails to an azimuth angle parallel to the fall line of the crater
sidewalls above the site, considering the fall line on a large scale
that was representative of the crater as a whole (i.e, ignoring any
local topography under the sawhorse). Secondly, we adjusted the
inclination angle of the rail so that it was parallel to the general
slope of the sidewall at that elevation, ignoring any local wrinkles in
the underlying topography. Thus, we think that the radiometers on the
sawhorses are now oriented so that they are parallel to the underlying
large-scale slope of the crater sidewalls.
We shot the azimuth and inclination angles of the slope site sawhorses
and got some GPS readings, as follows:
site, azimuth, inclination, lat, long, elevation

- 146: Sonic, Site Rim, Fri 27-Oct-2006 16:04:41 MST, rim boom angles
I've just tried the "theodolite-GPS" method of shooting the boom angles:
1. use the theodolite telescope to locate a postion aligned with the boom
2. walk with the GPS towards the tower, watching the heading
3. walk the reverse heading back to the theodolite
4. note the lat/lon of the theodolite.
Due to the heat, I couldn't get a good view of the sonic boom. I guessed
that, when it disappeared from view along the road east of the base, I was
still had a bit further east to go to be along the boom. At that point,
the walked heading was 001/181, lat/lon was 35d 00.871'N, 111d 01.753'W.
Thus, this estimate would be 181-1?deg for the boom angle.
I also used this method to shoot the prop angle. This I was more confident
of since I was closer, and it was later in the day with less heat.
The walked heading was 91/271, lat/lon was 35d 01.774'N, 111d 02.130'W.
(The GPS said its error in both cases was 5m.)
The, this estimate would be 271deg, which is close to perpendicular to 180deg
of the sonic (and amazingly close to cardinal 270deg!)
The lat/lon reported by the station is 35d 01.767'N, 111d 01.749'W. If the
boom angles were exactly 180 and 270, my prediction of the station lat/lon
would be 35d 01.774'N, 111d 01.753'W, which is off by only 0.007'N, 0.004'W
or ~14m, or off in boom angle by about 1 degree over these distances. Thus,
I think 181/271 should be used.

The following was done.
On Sept 29 the floor soil samples were install
On Sept 28th, the soil sensors at West Upper were moved and reinstalled.
No other sensors were removed and installed due to the change in the sawhorse
location.

On site: Steve Oncley (303-579-4623) and Steve Semmer (303-579-7860).
Weather: Scattered clouds, but breezy
Problems:
el logger dies in afternoon, battery change didn't fix it. We suspect a temperature
related problem.
RH bad at 1.5&3m at eu and 1.5&5m at el, seemingly no way to fix (no spares)
u* plots very intermittent
Actions:
Verified that el TRH profile order was not as expected -- configuration changed
Cleaned all but rim krypton (needed after rain)
Todo:
Try theodolite shoot of rim prop and sonic boom angles.
Power:
V batt = minimums 12.3-12.5 V at all battery-powered stations; staying up
Vbatt.rad = minimums 11.5 - 12.5 V, el now okay
Iload ~ 2.1-2.6 A at crater sites other than eu [3.3A]
peak Isolar ~ 12 A at crater stations, except eu

- 136: Radiometers, Site East_Lower, Wed 25-Oct-2006 16:27:31 MST, el logger died again
died at about 1245 and still not back up. The hard-wired logger does respond
to +++ commands, so the problem probably is on the logger side. (Though the
logger battery was 13.2V and rising when it died.)
We're a bit puzzled.
- 135: TRH, Site Floor, Wed 25-Oct-2006 14:22:24 MST, SHT.0.5m adjustment
I tried to align the SHT probe such that the sensor was perpendictular to the
air flow to see if that would improve the performance compared to the 50Y.
This took place during our routine visit to the floor (~11:30 to 13:00).
- 134: TRH, Site Floor, Wed 25-Oct-2006 14:20:17 MST, SHT 5m back on the air
A new solar panel/battery system was attached to SHT.5m. The sensor
is woking again.
- 133: TRH, Site East_Lower, Wed 25-Oct-2006 14:10:21 MST, TRH order
The TRH booms apparently were installed in the wrong order (despite being
clearly labeled). We now know that the order of the sensors in the data
is: 1.5m, 5m, 8m, and 3m. I will change the config now to reflect this
change.
Steve played around with TRH.5m probe, but this did not recover the humidity
values.
- 132: KH2O, Site East_Upper, Wed 25-Oct-2006 14:07:31 MST, krypton klean
krypton kleaned ~1248. MSB of counts went from 0d -> 42!
- 131: KH2O, Site East_Lower, Wed 25-Oct-2006 14:07:08 MST, krypton klean
krypton kleaned ~1217. MSB of counts went from 0e -> 1f.

krypton kleaned ~1155. MSB of counts went from 09 -> 26.
Krypton mount was loose, but I didn't have allen wrenches. Should be revisited.
- 129: KH2O, Site West_Lower, Wed 25-Oct-2006 14:06:08 MST, krypton klean
krypton kleaned ~1145. MSB of counts went from 03 -> 23.
I had to restart data system code (adn/aup) to get rserial to work. (But it
seems like the archiving had been fine.)
- 128: KH2O, Site Floor, Wed 25-Oct-2006 14:04:51 MST, krypton klean
krypton kleaned ~1130. MSB of counts went from 08 -> 17.
- 127: Prop_Vane, Site Rim, Wed 25-Oct-2006 10:02:23 MST, Prop test at Rim
The prop test at rim was a success. There was very good agreement between the
~3m unit and the sonic. We will move the 3m prop up to the 10m height.
NOTE: It is too windy this afternoon to change lower the PAM mast. Will try to
do it first thing in the morning.
- 126: TRH, Site Floor, Wed 25-Oct-2006 09:14:54 MST, TRH.sht.5m dead
The 5m SHT sensor died last night. This the unit that does not have the solar
panel. So a full set of 3 AA batteries lastest about 1 week. A new solar
panel unit will be installed hopefully today.

- 124: Prop_Vane, Site Rim, Tue 24-Oct-2006 16:54:32 MST, 2.8m(?) prop at rim
Since there is not an IOP going on we decided to run a test at rim.
The 10m prop is consistantly reading lower than the 3m sonic so we mounted
another prop at about 2.8m. The prop data now is at the lower height (decided
to use ttyS4 since it was configured correctly). If the lower prop and sonic
agree then we will move the lower prop to the 10m height.
NOTE: the boom angle was not set therefore direction is bad!
This visit took place from 15:30 to 14:15 local time.
- 123: Radiometers, Site East_Upper, Tue 24-Oct-2006 15:26:51 MST, logger wires broke
While turning off the logger for RF testing, the power wires broke at the
switch. I shoved them back in, but this wiring needs to be redone.
- 122: Network, Site , Tue 24-Oct-2006 15:04:35 MST, RF interference test
We finally tried the test of network interference from the loggers.
From about 1100 to 1300, we progressively turned off the loggers and
receiving Xbee radios at wl, el, and eu. (flr and wu are hardwired)
rim was still running.
Using simply "ping aster" (from both eu and el), I saw no difference --
usually about 5ms, but some much longer (130-480ms). We restarted the
loggers in the reverse order.
- 121: Radiometers, Site East_Lower, Tue 24-Oct-2006 14:38:02 MST, Battery change at logger EL
Steve and I decided to change the logger battery at EL to see if it is causing
the logger outages during the middle of the day. This took place during a
crater visit between 11:30 and 13:00 local time.
- 120: Sonic, Site East_Lower, Tue 24-Oct-2006 10:21:10 MST, .5m sonic down at EL
The .5m sonic went down last night around 16:00 local time. Was able to get
it going again by logging in to LE, sr 5, and typing a "D".
- 119: Prop_Vane, Site Rim, Tue 24-Oct-2006 09:22:12 MST, Prop head replaced at rim
This work took place on Oct 23.
After replacing the sonic at rim, it was noted that the prop speed was
consistently lower than the sonic. When replacing the sonic Steve O. noticed
that the prop head bearings sounded rough. So replaced the prop head.
Mast down approximately between 11:00 and 12:00.
- 118: Sonic, Site Rim, Tue 24-Oct-2006 09:18:48 MST, sonic replacement at rim
This event took place on Oct 22.
The sonic at rim was replaced with the PSU sonic 376. A serializer was mounted
in this unit since the NCAR sonic from wl failed to work.
This work took place between 12:00 and 13:00.
- 117: Daily_Status, Site , Mon 23-Oct-2006 15:57:28 MST, Daily status 10/23/06
10/23/06
IOP#5 now complete. Dave and the rest of the METCRAX team are very happy since everything worked and
the winds cooperated for the first time. Bad weather is forecast that will shut operations down
for the next 4 days (and a cirrus shield has developed during today).
Still on site: Steve Oncley (303-579-4623) and Steve Semmer (303-579-7860).
Lou just replaced Jason at ISS.
Problems:
east-lower logger drops out completely in the afternoon, but recovers.
RH bad at 1.5&3m at eu and 1.5&5m at el [bad cables?]
u* plots very intermittent

Actions;
We just replaced the rim prop head, which seemed to have rough bearings (with higher-than-normal
start-up speeds).
Needs:
Try theodolite shoot of rim prop and sonic boom angles.

- 116: Data, Site , Sun 22-Oct-2006 17:17:51 MST, data downloads at all crater sites
Steve S. downloaded data from all crater sites this afternoon (while I ran
around and took soil cores). With the download of rim earlier this afternoon,
we did every site except sw.
- 115: Station_Visit, Site Rim, Sun 22-Oct-2006 13:32:14 MST, site visit (mast down)
Visited rim to:
- exchange sonics (earlier visit by Steve S. retrieved sonic electronics with
serializer, which was swapped into PSU 376 in the base).
- data download
- shoot boom angles (sonic: 358, prop 108 -- clearly something is wrong --
probably compass dip angle)
- measure heights of TRH (89.5" from roughly ground to top of boom) and
GPS (roughly 48" above local ground)
- Prop-vane bearing is a bit "growly", but seemed okay
Mast down about 12:20-12:45.
- 114: Sonic, Site Rim, Sun 22-Oct-2006 11:04:41 MST, testing of PSU 376
The PSU sonic that we are about to install at rim is reading in a shipping box
with foam cut-out
-1.0 cm/s U
+0.7 cm/s V
-1.0 cm/s W
(values are approximate, read from the CSI plot using +/- 2cm/s full scale)
We think this is good enough!

- 112: Station_Visit, Site Floor, Sat 21-Oct-2006 15:54:50 MST, XML floor changed
The configuraton XML file was changed to handle the new SHT output message.
- 111: TRH, Site Floor, Sat 21-Oct-2006 15:52:48 MST, SHT output change
I changed the output message of the SHt probes so that we are collecting the
raw data for temperature and RH. This took place during our visit today, around
1:30pm.
- 110: LOG, Site Base, Sat 21-Oct-2006 15:48:29 MST, Now have 2 Pocketec copies of data
Since /data is now 100% full (just squeezed in the last downloads, I think),
we need to make space. We had one local copy of all the data on Pocketec,
and another should now be in Boulder [could someone confirm this?], so I used
another one of our "shuttle" Pocketecs to make an additional local copy.
Hopefully, this should be enough of a safety factor.
- 109: Sonic, Site West_Lower, Sat 21-Oct-2006 15:44:10 MST, wl.0.5m sonic up
We got the 0.5m sonic going today. With the Toughbook, it was possible to see
that the sonic was in fact just fine. (Too bad we lugged the other PennState
spare all the way down!!) We determined that the problem was with serial
port 5. We switched to port 16 (which was somewhat difficult to reconfigure
using just the PDA!) It turned out that the PDA cable didn't work for the
laptop, so we couldn't use the Toughbook to reconfigure. Oh well...
- 108: Soil, Site , Sat 21-Oct-2006 15:32:53 MST, gravimetric measurements
I took the first gravimetric measurements today.
Since we couldn't find the brass rings, I simply used the whole corer, which
samples deeper. With a tape measure, I tried to estimate the depth of the
core (I didn't quite get either core full). The corer without rings is about
2 1/4" diameter.
Also note that, since the TRIME battery was dead, no measurements could be
made. It is now charging back in the base.
The weight of the cores exceeds the scale range (200g), so they have been
arbitrarily split into 2 trays, hence the sum of 2 numbers below.
flr: core extracted ~1315 10/21, core depth ~3 7/8"
total weight: 130.8+165.9g = 296.7
dry: 124.5+156.7g = 281.2 (5.5%)
eu: core extracted 1332 10/21, depth ~2 3/8" [hit a rock, so couldn't go
further]
total weight: 122.9+116.8g = 239.7
dry: 118.6+112.9g = 231.5 (3.5%)
Measurements taken 10/22:
[Found brass rings, so these are 0-6cm samples. Note that the core often wasn't
full to the top when taken apart, but I'm guessing that the mass is about right
and that the soil compacted upon being cored. Nevertheless, there usually was
spillage, so bulk densities would be slightly underestimated.]
[Also had TRIME charged, so took readings coincident with the cores.]
wu: time: 1502, TRIME: 5.7%
total: 153.3g
dry: 148.9g
wl: time: 1517, TRIME: 2.2%
total: 114.0+64.9g = 178.9g
dry: 112.5+64.1g = 176.6g

total: 158.1g
dry: 156.5g
eu: time: 1555, TRIME: 8.2%

- 107: TRH, Site Floor, Sat 21-Oct-2006 09:31:48 MST, SHT data
The 5 minute averages compared to the TRH sensors are not as good as expected.
I believe this may be due to the wireless link. Each unit uses a radio talking
to a common master tied to the ADAM. The radios due not have a high level of
collision protection so some data messages may be bad. I saw this event during
lab tests. Therefore the 5 minute data may have bad data averaged in. I'll
need to look at the raw data.
- 106: TRH, Site Floor, Sat 21-Oct-2006 09:04:14 MST, SHT probes
On Wednesday, 18th, we installed 3 prototype Sensirion SHT75 temperature/
humidity probes. They are collocated with TRH sensors at .5m, 2m, and 5m
heights. The probes were mounted instide the TRH shield.
- 105: TRH, Site Floor, Fri 20-Oct-2006 18:59:41 MST, TRH fans swapped
We've seen that T.2m.flr is always higher than T.0.5m.flr, even in the day.
This usually is a symptom of a bad fan at 2m, that would cause it to read
high. We inspected these fans today, but all were working (though 2m was
quieter and seemed to have slightly less flow). Nevertheless, we decided
to swap the fans between these two sensors. This was done by Steve S. between
1200-1300. Now the profile changes as expected. (Though is 0.5m could now bee
too high/low??)
He also took advantage of the opened-up sensors to check and possibly adjust
the SHT75 sensors he installed yesterday (or was it the other way around?)
- 104: Sonic, Site Rim, Fri 20-Oct-2006 18:28:35 MST, Re-installed rim sonic
We reinstalled the rim sonic (6xx) late this afternoon. The mast would have
been down from about 16:15-17:15. We also installed krypton 1394 with it.
(I note that the config now shows 1397 for this site, but 1397 probably is
being used in the crater instead of 1101, which is in the base with a "bad"
label.
Unfortunately, the data for this sonic seems bad despite its working this
morning at wl.0.5m and later testing in the base trailer. Perhaps it was
damaged as we packed it up without using its (heavy) shipping box, but
Steve and I are both skeptical of this hypothesis. We're not sure what
action to take to remedy this problem. The symptom is that it reports some
values, but with a status nibble of "8" for about 5 seconds, then reports
values of all 8000 with a status nibble of "F" for another 5 seconds, then
repeats this cycle. We assume this is a "reacquire signal" cycle, due to a
weak signal.
TWH: This is s/n 673; see logbook entry 38.
- 103: Sonic, Site West_Lower, Fri 20-Oct-2006 18:23:39 MST, swapped wl.0.5m sonic
We swapped this sonic (637?) with 367 that just arrived from PennState, since
it had a serializer in it that we needed at rim. However, we couldn't
configure it and it now puts out a strange message with the status "nibble"
reporting a value of "E". I also added a strange CSATB serial sensor on
the station's copy of isff.xml (not a full config) to use an end-message
of 55ab, not 55aa.
Obviously this is a sick sonic. The other PennState loaner (376) seemed to
work much better in the trailer.
We did the swap about 11:00, but didn't get the new configuration working until
we were back in the base trailer, at about 15:30.
TWH:
The sonic removed from wl was s/n 673; see logbook entry 38.
- 102: Data, Site All, Fri 20-Oct-2006 18:22:56 MST, downloaded all site data today
See subject.
- 101: TRH, Site Floor, Fri 20-Oct-2006 09:29:42 MST, sht RH calibration problem
The SHTs give bad (high) RH values when the temperature is below zero. Steve
Semmer thinks this is an error in the unsigned math used by the PIC. We'll
see if it is correctable, but in any case won't worry about it.
- 100: Sonic, Site , Fri 20-Oct-2006 09:26:27 MST, sonic tilts
Yesterday I briefly looked at a few sonic tilt plots. Surprisingly, it appeared
that much of the data fit a plane, with tilts of 2 deg at flr, 7 deg at el,
and 20 deg at eu. I only looked at 2-3m sonics. I'll look at more values
later, but this in general was quite encouraging.

Yesterday, we restarted the etherant at eu, retrieved the high rate data,
and measured the sonic boom heights and azimuths (see logbook for data).
repeater appears to have stopped at 08:25(!) 10/16; restarted ~11:15.
No IOP until at least Wednesday night.
Charlie left this morning; Steve Semmer arriving this evening.

It appears that the repeater quit at 8:25 again this morning. Fixed by
recyling power on the inverter at that site.

I have left a spare inverter in the base trailer (please return
to Charlie after project). If the inverter at the ap24 flakes
out again (three strikes you're out), you can try swapping
in this spare.

- 81: Network, Site East_Upper, Sun 15-Oct-2006 17:05:24 MST, network restored at eu
The power led on the etherant was on, but the
ethenet led and the wireless led were both dark.
Login over the serial connection showed that
the systems was still running and storing locally.
Power cycle on the etherant brought it right
back and on the network.
This etherant went offline at around the time
that thinderstorms were in the area. We had
a similar experience a few days ago with the etherant
at flr. Sebastion reported that they had lost
a couple of data loggers during the same period,probably
due to lightning.

Retrieved local data storage from all sites this afternoon.
- 79: Sonic, Site All, Sun 15-Oct-2006 16:22:09 MST, Boom heights, angles
Measured the sonic boom heights and azimuths. Boom heights are top of
sonic boom. The azimuths were measured with the data scope facing
into the sonic, so a sonic pointing towards S would read 0 degrees.
5/1/07:
Note that the data scope was set up with a declination of 12.2 deg E,
but the NOAA web site says 11.4 deg E. Thus need to subtract 0.8 degree
from the following data scope readings.
Tom wanted me to add:
- height of center of sonic wrt boom top: 2 1/8"
- height of TRH inlet wrt boom top: -18 5/8" [except sw]
- GPS height above tower base:

Yesterday we fixed Tcase.in at east lower (loose wire in Campbell data logger)
and picked up the local data storage from all sites.
We also trouble-shot the erratic RH at 3m on east lower and concluded that
the problem is in the wiring of the 50Y to the logger. We also tried the same
procedure at east upper but the intermittent RH at 3 m was okay at that time.
Problem summary:

Second IOP occurred last night.
Known problems:
Tcase.out bad at el
RH bad at 3m el and! eu
no or kh2o sonic at rim
Today, we will check out the Tcase problem as possible caused by a loose
terminal screw in the radiation/soil logger; try again to fix the
intermittent RH problem (if it cooperates by being bad when we are there);
and pick up the local data storage.
Gordon and I tried to fix the u* plotting problem by eliminating a mix of
sonic and geographic coordinates in the dat function.

Charlie and I fixed TRH007 by resoldering the 50Y connection to the PC board. I reinstalled it at 1.5m on wu yesterday afternoon. On Monday, Charlie replaced the kh20
on the crater floor with the one from the rim.
Known problems:
Vbatt.2m.sw looks phony because there is a diesel generator there!
Tcase.out bad at el; no spare Rlw available (perhaps from rim?)
RH bad at 3m el and! eu
no sonic at rim
- 62: Data, Site All, Thu 12-Oct-2006 17:27:06 MST, Downloaded local data storage
Charlie uploaded local data storage within the crater and at the rim site.

Tried to fix the problem with the RH at 3m at east upper, but it appeared to be behaving itself while we were there...
- 60: TRH, Site East_Lower, Thu 12-Oct-2006 17:23:03 MST, Tried to fix the RH at 3m el
Swapped the wires for the 1.5m and 3m RH within the Campbell data logger and
the bad data followed the 50Y.
Swapped the RH transducers between 1.5m and 3m and the problem stayed at 3m.
The conclusion is that the problem is in the wiring between the 50Y transducer
and the Campbell data logger.
- 59: Radiometers, Site East_Lower, Thu 12-Oct-2006 17:21:37 MST, Fixed Tcase.out at el

help with the dropped high speed samples from
the sonics at el and wl however.
- 55: Adam, Site All, Wed 11-Oct-2006 14:45:24 MST, changed ncserver config on all systems
The batchPeriod parameter for ncserver was changed
from 300 to 86400, to see if this will cure the dropped
5 minute means for slow rate sensors.
All sites were stopped and started.

The configuration had an incorrect scanfFormat for
the data logger from the RFD tower, which has caused
the Tpile to be put into the Rpile variable, and the
Tpile.8.5m to be skipped entirely.
Fixed the configuration, downloaded to flr, and
restarted the dsm.

Would not go back into the boom so used a file,
WD-40, and a small sledge to get it in... Might be
still a little tight coming out.

Yesterday we installed the new PSU sonic (376?) at sw. There is no sonic
at the rim site and none in sight.
I also plugged in the Tsurf at sw which some dope forgot to do.
Charlie and Kate are installing the former rim kh2o (sn 1397)
on the crater floor, swapping usb local storage, retrieving serial numbers,
and attempting again to fix the 3m el RH. I will try to fix the TRH from
1.5m wu, which is at the base.

We are now calculating 5-minute means of all variables on the stations and
transmitting them to our base station over the local network. This seems to
satisfy the constraints of the station cpu capability and the network
bandwidth, and will give us real-time quality control.
Yesterday we installed the rim sonic, sn 0673, at 0.5 m on wl. Unfortunately,
this seemed to push the processing at that site over the edge, since
the data_stats indicate lost samples. However, the data that did get archived
appear to be valid. Charlie is continuing to test.
We also removed the 1.5m TRH from west upper (T = -40 C)
for exploratory surgery at the base.
Today we installed a new sonic (sn 378 loaned from PSU) at southwest.
We also expect delivery next week of a recalibrated (NCAR) sonic from Campbell
to replace the sonic on the crater rim.

- 36: Daily_Status, Site All, Sat 07-Oct-2006 11:09:40 MST, Daily status, 10/7/06
We are now calculating 5-minute means of all variables on the stations and
transmitting them to our base station over the local network. This seems to
satisfy the constraints of the station cpu capability and the network
bandwidth, and will give us real-time quality control. We will slowly attempt
to increase the on-station processing, e.g. to calculate momentum, virtual heat,
and moisture fluxes.
Yesterday we removed the 0.5 m sonic at west lower (bad) and the sonic at the
crater rim (to be installed at sw). We also installed a TRH that was
repaired at the base at 1.5 m at wl. Unfortunately, the TRH at 1.5 m at wu,
which we repaired on a previous site visit has returned to its state of
reporting a temperature of -40 C.
Today we plan to install a new sonic (loaned from PSU and expected by FedEX
this morning) at 0.5 m on wl and the former rim sonic at sw, prior to a
possible IOP tonight. We also expect delivery of a second recalibrated (NCAR)
sonic from Campbell next week to replace the sonic on the crater rim.

- 31: Software, Site All, Fri 06-Oct-2006 19:10:00 MST, all systems doing local stats; network is happy
All systems are now calculating and transmitting
means, and sending to aster:nc_server. data_stats
on all systems look normal. Note that no
cross products are being calculated.
Since we are doing local stats, I turned off
the raw data transmission for sw and rim, and now the
network is very happy. Ping times to the .14
net are low ( < 8ms almost all of the time).
When you do something like a long listing
when logged into a dsm, the ping times will
jump up to 600 ms for a few frames, and
then the network will return quickly to
the 8ms behavior).
I haven't seen the typical 3000-4000ms pings
that we were experienced before. It seems like
sending the raw stream was creating a lot
interference which was choking up the RF
side of things.
A file transfer from flr to aster still runs
at ~5KB/s.
- 30: Software, Site All, Fri 06-Oct-2006 17:14:49 MST, statsproc dies when network jams
statsproc disappeared on three of the systems. These

METCRAX daily status, 10/6/06
Yesterday, we enabled the radiation/soil logger on the rim, connected the
Everest Tsurface at sw, and fixed the TRH that we removed from wl on 10/4.
Charlie also enabled the computation of means at all stations late yesterday.
Unfortunately, the stations on the crater floor, rim, and west upper appear to
have crashed during the night.
The plans for today were to enter the crater to install the repaired TRH,
remove the 0.5 sonic, and replace the gps at west lower.
We would also retrieve the data and try to find the pieces to get the
fuel cell going.
Finally we plan to move the sonic from rim to the sw site.
Unfortunately it is raining...
We hope that CSI will ship a PSU sonic to us today, but we won't get it
until Monday.
wu: crashed last night
wl:
missing TRH @ 1.5 m, but repaired yesterday at the base
bad sonic @ 0.5 m
GPS inoperative
flr:
crashed last night
fuel cell needs to be enabled, although Vbatt seems okay
el: okay
eu:
Iload is ~3.3 amps compared to 2.2-2.4 amps for other crater stations
Isolar is missing at eu??
rim:
crashed last night
sw:
connected Tsurface yesterday, but data are bad
missing sonic; will install the sonic from rim
need to enter Rnet coefficients in logger
need to enter prop boom angle
logger data are generally intermittent
need to measure anemometer boom angles
need to inventory kh2o serial numbers
still have not looked in detail at all sensor outputs
- 17: Data, Site All, Fri 06-Oct-2006 08:52:18 MST, Some stations quit last night
From a plot of the pressures, it appears that the rim and wu stations quit
around 22:30 last night and floor quit around 05:00 this morning.
el, eu, sw, and wl are still running.
- 16: Adam, Site All, Thu 05-Oct-2006 19:46:17 MST, kh2o statistics not being computed
I realized that when I disbled the scalarflux
computation for kh2o, we lost the mean measurement
for kh2o as well. I set up a mean sample group for
the kh2o on wu and wl, but for some reason they are
not being computed.
Will attack it tomorrow.
- 15: Adam, Site All, Thu 05-Oct-2006 18:34:39 MST, limited statistics enabled for crater systems
Calculation of means was enabled in the configuration
files for wu, wl, flr, el and eu.
editing was done on server, the xml files were
copied to their respective sites, statsproc was enabled
in adam.sh, and the station was restarted. After half an
hour of operation, data_stats indicated that the stations
were operating normally. The adam.log file was monitored,
and there were no messages indicating discarded samples.
I had tried enabling the sonic fluxes and scalar flux
at 3m on wu and wl. wu seemed to be able to handle
this, but wl couldn't.(wu has 4 sonics, wl has 5).
I then disabled scalar flux at 3m on wl, but it
still seemed to have problems. The symptom was that
the max times on data_stats were very large. Also
there were discarded sample messages for SampleOutputBase,
although I don't know what this means.
In any event, it seemed problematic to enable flux
calculations, so I didn't enable them for any of the
systems.
- 14: Radiometers, Site Southwest, Thu 05-Oct-2006 15:55:00 MST, Rnet and Tsurface at sw
Around 1500 local time, I turned the Rnet over to read the coefficients:
positive = 8.70
negative = 10.77
Around 1530 local time, I removed power from the logger to add power to
the Everest Tsurface plug. Plugged in Tsurface.
- 13: Station_Visit, Site Rim, Thu 05-Oct-2006 13:45:19 MST, Logger fixed for rim
Enabled the data logger for rim this morning. The
power connection from the battery to the campbell
and radio had been disconnected.

logger transmission needs to be enabled?
sw:
need Tsfc connector swap; should be coming today
missing sonic
need to enter Rnet coefficients in logger
need to enter prop boom angle
need to measure anemometer boom angles
still have not looked in detail at sensor outputs
- 9: Adam, Site Floor, Thu 05-Oct-2006 10:07:12 MST, Stopped and started flr adam
I accidently started additional dsm processes on the flr adam.
Stopped and restarted adam to kill them.
- 8: Power, Site Floor, Thu 05-Oct-2006 09:17:51 MST, Fuel cell
10/4/06
Tried to install the Voler fuel cell but could not find the required stainless
steel rod required to connect the hydrogen bottle. John and Kurt had previouslystarted to install the PowerPEM D35, but Steve prefers to use the Voler. He
would like it to be used to just charge spare batteries, independent of
the solar panels.
- 7: TRH, Site West_Lower, Thu 05-Oct-2006 09:14:05 MST, Moved 1.5 m TRH to 0.5 m at wl
10/4/06, morning
Charlie and I tried to install the TRH that had been sent to Boulder at 0.5 m
on the west lower slope station, but it did not work.
The T and RH data were not correct and the fan did not work.
Moved the 1.5 m TRH down to 0.5 m and took the bad TRH back to the base.
7/9/07:
TRH 004 at 1.5 m was replaced by TRH 704 at 18:23 (UTC?)
- 6: TRH, Site West_Upper, Thu 05-Oct-2006 09:11:26 MST, Fixed 1.5 m TRH at wu
10/4/06, morning
Charlie and I fixed 1.5 m TRH, which was reporting a temperature of -40 C,
by unplugging and plugging back in the 50 Y at the end of the circuit board.
Simply recycling power did not work.
- 5: Data, Site All, Thu 05-Oct-2006 09:08:34 MST, Swapped usb data media
Swapped usb data media at all stations on the morning of 10/4/06.
Most stations now have (4 GB?) thumb drives, while the lower slope stations
have pocket teks.
- 4: Prop_Vane, Site Southwest, Tue 03-Oct-2006 17:53:17 MST, Measured prop vane boom angle
I calibrated the data scope and entered the local declination of 12.2 deg E.
Then I measured the orientation of the prop vane boom to be 180 deg + 91.5 deg
=271.5 degrees true.
A second prop measurement was made on 10/26/06: reading was 269
- 3: Radiometers, Site Southwest, Tue 03-Oct-2006 17:51:51 MST, Installed net radiometer
Around 19:00 local time, I installed a net radiometer at the southwest site.
Note that I did not enter the coefficient in the logger.
5/10/07, TWH: Note that the time, 19:00, has to be wrong because the entry is
dated 17:51:51. My guess from looking at the Rnet data is that this should be
around 17:00.
- 2: Sonic, Site All, Mon 02-Oct-2006 19:37:57 MST, sonics at 20 Hz
Around 19:30, Oct 2, reduced sonic sampling rates to 20 Hz, oversampled at 60 Hz in order to test network throughput.
