FAST Q status: 
 
	Output of sensor agrees with previous 
plots at this time of day, ~12 gm/m^3.

4m KYPTON CALIBRATIONS: 
 
	The calibrations for the 4m Krypton 
were added to the preprocess.config file. 
We will need to make some changes to the calibration 
software since the path length is different from the 
10m unit.

H2O at 4m: 
 
	The 4m Krypton was added to the 
network around 23:45 GMT. Signal output looks 
low. Will need to monitor.

FAST T: 
 
	The uw tower was lowered to work on the 4m 
sonic. While this was being done, the fast T sensor gains 
were checked. Below is the results of that test. 
 
sensor		gain 
 
uw.4m		5.1 +- .01 
 
uw.10m		5.08 +- .02 
 
ati.4m		5.1 +- .01

	The 10m krypton windows were cleaned while 
the uw tower was down. There was no major change in its 
output.

heat flux for JD 51 has problem with data files and will not create 
a graph for the logbook.

T.4m.uw is now broken 
 
We'll (Tom and I) wander out to the masts and fix it if it looks safe. 
(We have to go out anyway to do the noon-time chores.)

I climbed the tower (with Tom looking on).  The old one was definately  
broken.

t.10m.uw just broke 
 
We aren't going to climb for this one - its down for the rest of this IOP.

FAST T TRANSDUCER CHANGED 
 
The UW tower was lowered and RAGWORT:101 fast T transducer was  
changed and calibrated. The fast T transducer "ragwort:100" 
was also calibrated. The values are as follows: 
 
transducer 100        absolute temp = +.05 
			       gain = 5.02 + - .02 
 
transducer 101	      absolute temp = +.06 
			       gain = 5.025 + - .015 
 
The gain readings were taken from a preprocess file, and  
averaged over several readiings.

	The uw tower is backup. Fast T units 
look good.

VAISALA HUMIDITY at 4m UW: 
 
	Since the Krypton instruments are not agreeing 
well with each other, the decision was made to add a third, 
independent humidity sensor. One of the Vaisala units was 
choosen (it had recently came back from the factory calibrated) 
The unit was mounted at the 4m height coming off the west side of 
the Krypton unit. 
Below is information on channel assignment, gain/filter, etc. 
The sensor was interfaced to ragwort. 
The sample rate was set to 20.
