- 43: laser wave ht, Site tower, Thu 28-Oct-2004 11:00:19 EDT, laser altimeter locations
Jim Edson provided photos and a diagram of the laser altimeter locations.
Standing at the end of the diving board and facing to the SE (245 degrees),
laser #1 was to the left, laser #2 to the right and laser #3 straight ahead.
Measured separations were:
#1 to #2, 88"+52" = 140"
#2 to #3, 95"
#3 to #1, 119"
#1 to point p, 88"
#2 to point p, 52"
#3 to point p, 80"
where p is the intersection of a line between #1 and #2 with a perpendicular
line to #3.
- 42: status, Site tower, Tue 26-Oct-2004 18:00:14 EDT, ragwort & sonics removed from ASIT
OHATS is OVER. Thanks to Steve and Neil, all 19 sonics and your data logging system are back safe and sound in Smith 117.
Let me know how you'd like to handle shipment back to NCAR and/or PSU.
Cheers,
Jim
- 41: ASIT, Site tower, Tue 26-Oct-2004 12:10:40 EDT, Mini-node mods, 9/24 - 10/8
On September 22 we shut down power on the ASIT for dive operations.
When the power was turned back on, we failed to establish communication with
mini-node #1. On September 24, 2004 we moved the some cables from mini-node#1
to mini-node #2 such that:
Mini-node #1:
9.ASCII data stream from a Campbell CR10X logging
a.Eppley PIR sensor
b.Eppley PSP sensor
c.Vaisala P/RH/T sensor
d.RM Young Rain gauge
Mini-node #2
10.ASCII data from a Riegl laser altimeter
11.ASCII data from a Riegl laser altimeter
12.ASCII data from a Riegl laser altimeter
13.An ASCII data stream output to NCAR from 3 altimeters
14.Binary data stream from a Campbell CR23X logging
a.MotionPak sensor
15.Binary data stream from a Campbell CR23X logging
a. Campbell CSAT sonic
a.Licor IRGA hygrometer
b.Vaisala RH/T sensor
c.Fast ozone sensor
16.ASCII data stream from Licor IRGA hygrometer
The required data processing on mini-node #2 eventually overwhelmed the PC-104
system. When this occurred, the binary stream from the CR23X continued to flow
to the NCAR system, but the altimeter system stopped. After the second time
this occurred on September 26, 2004, the binary stream from the Campbell 23X
and ASCII stream from the Licor were turned off, leaving only
the laser altimeters and MotionPak on mini-node #2.
On October 1, 2004 we moved the CR23X and Licor cables back to mini-node #1 and
began logging as:
Mini-node #1:
17.Binary data stream from a Campbell CR23X logging
a. Campbell CSAT sonic
18.Licor IRGA hygrometer
19.Vaisala RH/T sensor
20.Fast ozone sensor
21.ASCII data stream from a Campbell CR10X logging
a.Eppley PIR sensor
b.Eppley PSP sensor
c.Vaisala P/RH/T sensor
d.RM Young Rain gauge
22.ASCII data stream from Licor IRGA hygrometer
Mini-node #2
ASCII data from a Riegl laser altimeter
ASCII data from a Riegl laser altimeter
23.ASCII data from a Riegl laser altimeter
24.An ASCII data stream output to NCAR from 3 altimeters
25.Binary data stream from a Campbell CR23X logging
a.MotionPak sensor
This setup worked until the ASIT was powered down on October 7, 2004.
Mini-node #1 failed to come up when power was restored. On October 8, 2004,
we swapped out mini-node #1 for a new mini-node. We have had no problems
with this system since, including one short ASIT power cycling on October 13,
2004.

Notes on WHOI Systems
WHOI is using two mini-nodes to log data at the ASIT. The mini-nodes are
PC-104 based systems running windows. The mini-nodes were originally set up
to log:
Mini-node #1:

a.Campbell CSAT sonic
b.Licor IRGA hygrometer
c.Vaisala RH/T sensor
d.Fast ozone sensor
2.ASCII data stream from a Campbell CR10X logging
a.Eppley PIR sensor
b.Eppley PSP sensor
c.Vaisala P/RH/T sensor
d.RM Young Rain gauge
3.Binary data stream from a Campbell CR23X logging
a.MotionPak sensor
4.ASCII data stream from Licor IRGA hygrometer
Mini-node #2
5.ASCII data from a Riegl laser altimeter
6.ASCII data from a Riegl laser altimeter

On the wick situation. It looks like we are missing 1 wick on the 4th sonic
from the left (looking at the tower) on the top row. Its one of the
upper wicks with the drip mesh. Getting out to sonic would have been
impossible and we decided that it wasn't worth trying to remove and then
redeploy while dangling from a rope for the one wick.
- 37: base, Site shorelab, Fri 01-Oct-2004 11:35:45 EDT, power restored at base
Power was lost at the MVCO shore lab on Martha's Vineyard and aster was not
plugged into the UPS. Consequently aster died sometime after 06:11 EDT on
September 29:

Janet Fredericks sent the following email on 9/9/04 at 7:29
RE: mini=node on port 1 (Jim's mininode) ... I shutdown and turned off the power ... it took me until just before 9 this AM to get it back up .. I power cycled ... waited ... and tried pinging with each effort. I tried about 4 times last night and twice this AM, before it finally gave in and came up! Sorry for the outage and please know that I did the best I could to get it going ASAP. Eric, your data should now show up. On your internal logger, the gap should only be from about 6pm last night until about 9am this AM ... the 2bo had been on since Fri eve (about 6PM), just not seen by Jim's logger prior to last night.
RE: port 18 ... I hope you didn't think that you needed to do something on port 18. I notified you about the issues on port 1, since I believe you're using data being logged by that port. I was confused about receiving your message about not letting you know the status and turning port 18 on and off ... maybe we should talk when you get back into the lab. If it was just a miscommunication because I didn't specify which mininode I was referring to, I apologize and will be more careful in the future.

ASIT power off from 1500 - 2120 GMT.
Checked aster and ragwort and all okay, except no data yet for channels
18-20. Called Janet Fredericks (917-774-521-9197) and she said there
would be a short delay until these channels are turned on.

At 14:20 EDT a new version of the ndaq data acquisition code
was installed on the ragwort data system, and the ndaq restarted.
The new code has a fix which should cure the problem of
interrupted system calls when writing the local files.
Here's the error in the system log (which we're trying to cure):

Channels a and b have large intermittent spikes that are not seen on channel c.
However, ignoring the spikes, the variance on channel c has extended periods
where it is up to 10 times larger than channels a and b (which generally

Here are a few things you should do after ragwort is powered back up. First
refer to entry 8 which explains how to bring ragwort back up after a power down.
Once ragwort is going do the following:
(1) "check_aster" to verify ingest, archive processes are running
(2) go to "/raw_data/all" to verify there is a new archive file
(3) do a "ndaqstatus ragwort" to check the data rates from ragwort
(4) log into root on ragwort: ssh root@ragwort (use the toto password)
(5) cd to /data and verify local storage is running
(6) do a "ps" to verify NDAQ process is running

- 17: ragwort, Site tower, Thu 12-Aug-2004 16:33:20 EDT, Sensor on channel 218 causing buffer overflows
A sensor has been attached to channel 218 (/dev/ttyS2). It is probably
the wave height sensor, but something is either wrong in our
configuration or something's wrong with the sensor.
The ndaq program can't find the 0xfc end-of-record character
in the sensor, and so the read buffer overflows.
ndaq was complaining every time the buffer overflowed, which causes
a bunch of syslog processing and traffic over the net, since
all the messages are logged to the base system.
I think this caused the system clock on ragwort to be -5 seconds
wrong relative to the base system.
I installed a new version of the ndaq program on ragwort, which
counts the overflows, but only logs every 1000th overflow
in 5 minutes. ndaqstatus will also now report the overflow
counts.
Started the new ndaq code. Seems to be running OK. The data on
channel 218 is still screwey, but the system clock is OK.

At 6:02 is when cron.daily is run. According to /etc/crontab it
should be run at 04:02, but crontab must still be on MST.
So, I disabled some entries in /etc/cron.daily:
chmod -x slocate.com rpm
And I shut down covar, and commented it out in ragwort.up.
- 15: motion, Site tower, Fri 06-Aug-2004 21:16:46 EDT, motion sensor now binary
Logged into the base from NCAR:
ndaqstatus ragwort reported that the number of samples/sec from
channel 219 was near 0, but the number of reads/sec was near 20.
Deduced that the campbell logger on the motion sensors
had been switched to binary mode, which would cause ndaq to
fail to recognize samples correctly.
Changed channel_config and prep.config.
sio_msg_format for channel 219 is now whoi_bin_6l, instead of
cr10_6x, and the cal function is now campbell_binary.
Channel 218 (wavehts) is still not coming in, but it is now
configured in channel config to use whoi_bin_3l.
Did "ndaqrestart ragwort"
Now see these values from 219:

The diving board is 15' long and 4.5' wide.
ASIT legs are about 1 m in diameter, their slope is 4 to 1.
The end of the diving board is 20' 11" from the center of the three support
legs.
The centerpoint of the two forward legs is 3' 9"" in front of the center of
the three legs. The centers of the two forward legs are 4' 4" apart.
- 13: motion, Site tower, Wed 04-Aug-2004 16:31:14 EDT, Motion sensor, ASCII for now
The motion sensor is on serial 219. Data is coming in as ASCII at 9600
baud. The plan is to change it to binary because the logger can not output
the ASCII string at 20 hz on a continuous basis; ie, missing data at times.
Prep.config and channel_config have been modified to handle the change
over (lines have been added but are commented out).
- 12: base, Site shorelab, Wed 04-Aug-2004 14:57:50 EDT, To stop and start the ndaq process on ragwort
If you ned to stop and restart the data acquisition process on ragwort
do a "ndaqrestart ragwort" on aster (the shorelab machine). This should stop
the data acquistion. It will then startup again. Try this first before doing
a reboot on ragwort.

- 10: sonic, Site tower, Wed 04-Aug-2004 11:00:26 EDT, sonic missing wick
One of the sonics at 5.6m is missing a wick. It is one of the center three
and our best guess is that it is the center sonic.
- 9: status, Site tower, Wed 04-Aug-2004 10:56:02 EDT, crosswind array
On Tuesday, we mounted the second, higher crossswind array and lowered the
array into position. We connected the sonics to the data system shortly before the array was lowered, so they were initially at the height of the diving board (12 m) and tilted at 45 degrees above horizontal. The lowering process took a
few hours and was finally in place around 5:30 - 6:00 pm EST.
- 8: ragwort, Site tower, Mon 02-Aug-2004 11:34:04 EDT, Ragwort shutdown /startup procedure when power tower is going down
At times power has to be shut off at the tower. When this takes place a notice
is sent out to the users letting them know in advance, usually 24 hours. This
will give us time to bring ragwort down in an orderly procedure. Once power
is restored they will let us know. Below are instructions to power up and down
ragwort.
Power Down:
(1) login into ragwort: ssh -l root 128.128.205.109
(2) type "halt". This will cause ragwort to disconnect from the login.
(3) go to WHOI web site: asitower.whoi.edu/ohats2/conf_ncar.html
(4) turn the details display on then select submit query
(5) login as ohats2
(6) the password is the aster password
(7) select the button to turnoff the 12 volt supply
(8) select configure port
(9) do an update status to verify the supply is off
Power up:
(1) go to WHOI web site: asitower.whoi.edu/ohats2/config_ncar.html
(2) turn on the details display then select submit query
(3) login as ohats2
(4) use the aster password
(5a) select the button to turn on port 18
(5b) select the button to turn on the 12 volt supply
(6) select configure port
(7) wait ~30 seconds for the power supply to turn on
(8) select update status only
(9) the display should show the 12 volt power is on.
(10) the current should be around 5.5 amps for 18 sonics and the data system
- 7: LOG, Site , Mon 02-Aug-2004 09:37:04 EDT, setup chronology
Following is a brief chronology of the first week of setup
Monday, July 26:
Unpacked two boxes that Steve sent on Friday, containing the data system,
the console computer, and the sonic cables. Hooked up everything at WHOI
and everything ran okay. Steve worked with Janet Fredericks and Gordon to
change IP addresses to the WHOI internal network.
Tuesday, July 27:
Steve and Janet took ASTER to the MVCO (Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory)
shore lab, while Peter Sullivan and I went out to ASIT (Air-Sea Interaction
Tower) to install the data system and the spare CSAT. This was accomplished
successfully and Steve could see the data on ASTER.
Wednesday, July 28:
The sonic booms and yokes arrived and we mounted the yokes, CSAT electronics
and cables on the crossbeams. WHOI replicated our steel towers in
aluminum, but the dimensions of the sides are slightly too small so that the
yokes do not fit snugly. The two grooves on the hinged part of the yoke
do not match the tubing on the new tower section.
Thursday, July 29:
Arrived at WHOI early to take the crossbeams out to ASIT, but the wave
heights were too high. Postponed until Friday.
Friday, July 30:
Left WHOI at 6:30 am for ASIT. Raised the lower crossbeam onto the ASIT
platform at 12 m. Mounted the sonics on the crossbeam and lowered into
place on the two vertical tower sections mounted by WHOI on the ASIT
'diving board'. The nine sonics (a1-a9) are in place but at an angle of
approximately 45 degrees above horizontal. The sonics increase in
position number (a1-a9) and in serial number from right to left when
viewed from behind.
Tuesday, August 3
Raised the upper crossbeam onto the ASIT platform, mounted sonics, and mounted
the crossbeam onto the vertical support tower sections. Lots of adjustment of
the yokes to retighten them and bring the sonics into nominal alignment with
each other. Jim mounted the inertial motion package on the upper crossbeam
and we lowered the whole shebang. In the process, Jim also mounted his sonic,
Licor 7500 and TRH at the 9 m level on the left-hand (facing outward) vertical
support tower.
- 6: LOG, Site tower, Fri 30-Jul-2004 18:20:57 EDT,
mounted sonics 1-9 on lower crossarm. sonics are working, but at an elevated
angle of ~ 45 degrees and at a height of 12m.
