Thus, aster is 3 min, 27 sec ahead of coordinated universal time. 
 
The monocle compass/rangefinder was set to 1:28 pm, local two minutes later, 
so it should be correct.

Author should default to last author in the session. 
 
Type already defaults this way, which is not as desirable since 
we mostly enter all comments of one type into one comment per 
session.  For example, this comment really has two pieces of 
information - one suggesting a default for author and another 
suggesting a lack of a default for type - which are being entered 
as one.  In this session, I might next comment on the weather or 
the performance of a sensor (though I won't since I am logged in 
remotely!), which would require totally different types.

xcockpit died on ragwort overnight 
 
It had a segmentation fault, but all other processes look okay.

Strange vertical velocities this morning 
 
There have been some wild w changes - up to +/- 1 m/s changes in a few seconds. 
I guess these are isolated plumes getting started just after sunrise.

Winds often calm 
 
During the last hour, the winds have often been calm (props stalled).  This 
period can be used for sonic zero checks.  Also, believe it or not, the 
temperature profile is unstable (despite the overcast sky) so this should 
be free convection data.  I would interpret fluxes, though, with a grain 
of salt.

	I played around with metalog to get it to 
default the project name correctly. It seems to be 
working now. What I did was delete all params.* files. 
Logbook then created a new file with the correct project 
name. Maybe this file has something to do with it.

LOGBOOK PROJECT FIX FAILED: 
 
	The fix to logbook project default has 
failed. It almost seems like logbook does an update 
on its own and graps some past file with FLAT90 in it.

Status report at 03:00 
 
Checked wind, temp and cockpit displays. 
Vaisalla and Rotronics have different grey traces over the last 
few hours. The humidity at the site is varying quite a bit. 
PSP.in is not showing on the trace. 
Cannot graph the means. No match.

Winds look alright, possible 7m Tdry is low  
psp.in is not showing and rh vaisala comp and rotronics show excursions.

Winds picking up, a bit of spiking on ncar.comp sonic, minor. 
The minimum in the Tdry at 7m looks natural 
psp.in back on scale 
Pitch and roll giving sinusoidal signal, much slower than frequency of tower 
Data system OK

zo analysis 
 
I've fitted several "near-neutral" cases for zo (all 1 hour long): 
using displacement heights: 
 
Day Beg Dir zo  err disp  z/L 
            cm  cm/s cm 
48  16  163 4.7 1.0  10 -0.015 
55  17.5 18 2.6 2.1  20 -0.025 
56  22  338 2.4 0.8  20 -0.011 
61  00   67 6.9 2.0  00  0.005 
65  13  336 2.7 1.4  15  0.013 
71  06    5 3.2 2.1  10  0.002 
73  21  140 3.2 2.1  20 -0.085 
 
Obviously, a good value for zo for northerly cases is 3cm and disp=20cm. 
Also, other directions are different.
