- 273: RAD, Site , Wed 24-Nov-1999 16:54:19 MST, Calibration of 1/2 bubble
Using a tilt platform, I crudely estimate that changing the Q7 level
from having the bubble centered to having the center of the bubble on
the scribed circle (is this what is meant by "1/2 bubble"?) to be
equal to 37 minutes of arc. For field purposes, we should be able
to assume that this is 1/2 degree.
P.S. I calculate that a 1/2 degree tilt lowers the net radiation by about
0.5%:
The untilted net radiation measurement is: 2 pi R^2 sigma ( T1^4 - T2^4 ).
The area of the "wedge" exposed to the other surface from a tilted
sensor is: 4 pi R^2 (theta/360), for a tilt angle, theta, in degrees.
Thus, the tilted measurement is: 2 pi R^2 sigma ( T1^4 - T2^4) +
4 pi R^2 (theta/360) sigma ( T2^4 - T1^4 - T1^4 + T2^4 ) =
2 pi R^2 sigma ( T1^4 - T2^4 ) * [1 - 4 (theta/360) ].
For theta 37/60 degrees, [] = 1 - 0.7%.
Thus, for Rnet = 600 W/m2, the error due to observed tilts is about 4 W/m2.

The file was modified by Tony delany 21 May 1999 to include the later

All values in microamps/(1000 W/m2). Multiply by a resistance of 147 ohms
to get microvolts/(1000 W/m2). We usually use an amp/filter gain of 200
with this sensor.
1999 calibration data reported by Don Nelson was sensitivity in milleVolts/Wm-2
I have converted it to the same form as the previous calibration data by
dividing by 147 ohms x 1000
Sensor milleVolts/Wm-2 divided by 147 ohms x 1000 = microamps/Wm-2

- 269: LOG, Site none, Mon 22-Sep-1997 17:36:12 GMT, list of netCDF updates
Just so I don't forget, these are the tasks which will require manual updating
of the netCDF files for CASES:
1. Tilt PAM sonic data. Tilts determined by Jay Sklar are listed in the WWW
report. They have been applied to the covars from the ASTER sites.
(done 10/15/97 as sonics.nc)
2. Edit out the rain gauge calibrations. An S-object (cases.rain.cals)
containing the times and sites of these calibrations (determined from
logbook) is in my home .Data directory. Note that the site are numbered
1-8 for MRI gauges and 9-16 for the ETIs. I set the rain rates +/- 5 minutes
of these to zero and integrated from the beginning of the project to get
accumulations.
(done 10/15/97 as rainr.nc)
3. Apply Matt's polynomials to convert the CS615 transit times to soil moisture.
These only exist in his (hardcopy) soil moisture evaluation report as of
now.
(done 10/15/97 as soilq.nc)
4. Insert the new lat/lon positions obtained from Peggy & Julie's GPS
measurements. (Though this will be done automatically if covar is rerun?)
These are more accurate, though they haven't changed much.
(not done as of 10/15/97, though the .cdl file is now correct)
5. Compute Rlw.down and Rlw.up from pile, comp, dome, and case. I've found
that Tdome.up is bad, so I only used: R=Pile + Comp^4 + 0.0356*Rsw for
Rlw.up, which shouldn't be too bad. Note that the gain (in
cal_files/pyg.out) for Rpile.up is positive, so no extra sign reversal is
necessary. (Though sfun/CASES97/rad.config has signed=T. Is this wrong?)
(done 10/15/97 as pyg.nc)
6. Tsrfc at site 5 used an emissivity of 0.94, rather than the correct 0.98
used at the other sites. We can correct this using:
T_.98 = T_.94 * (0.94/0.98)^0.25 = T_.94 * 0.9896
(not done as of 10/15/97, though Julie has been notified)

- 263: RAD, Site 7, Tue 24-Jun-1997 17:41:16 GMT, PAR sensors at site s7
The Photosynthetically Active Radiation, PAR, or Quantum sensors
used during CASES97 were deployed only at the Super-Site, s7.
Three PAR sensors borrowed from NOAA were mounted on the dark
horse at s7. One was used to monitor incoming PAR,one was used to measure
outgoing PAR, and one was kept as a spare
All sites, including s7in had Licor solar incoming radiation
sensors, soldn, and it is intended to define a ratio
PAR/soldn
for s7 and then to use soldn at all other sites to obtain
the respective PAR's.
The two NOAA sensors used both were connected via 604 ohm adapters:
rad.par.in
NOAA S/N Q22668, cal date 3 Sept''96
-168.4 umol/m^2/s/uA with 604 ohm adaptor
-168.4/604 = .2788 umol/m^2/s/uV
cal factor: .2788e6 umol/m^2/s/V
rad.par.out
NOAA S/N Q22666, cal date 3 Sept''96
-181.8 umol/m^2/s/uA with 604 ohm adaptor
-181.8/604 = .3010 umol/m^2/s/uV
cal factor: .3010e6 umol/m^2/s/V
spare
NOAA S/N Q22678, cal date 3 Sept''96
-169.8 umole/m^2/s/uA with 604 ohm adaptor
PS added by Gordon Maclean, June 24:
A gain of 1000 was applied to these analog channels, which caused them
to saturate the +-5V AtoD during the day. (A gain of 100 would have been
a better choice).
- 262: CHEM, Site 7, Wed 04-Jun-1997 20:04:15 GMT, Plumbing delay times for O3 Meyers and CO2 Licor
In order to calculate fluxes the delay times for the chemical sensors
needed to be calculated.
For CASES97 the slight variation due to wind direction was not considered.
SECLOD was mounted immediatelty behind the sonic anemometer and a
delay time of zero was used.
For both Meyers and Licor the delay time were defined during high-wind
period when the flow was down the length of the boom. This condition
gives the tubing + sensor delay when the contribution of the
sonic anemometer to intake is at a minimum.
Cross corellation lag time ("o3.meyers.s7","w.s7") = 2.95 s
Cross corellation lag time ("co2.licor.s7","w.s7") = 1.20 s
These values are in rough agreement with the times calculated
from the flow rates of the sensors and the volume of the 25'tubing
Mass of water in 7.25' of tubing = 27.4 g
Mass of water in 25' of tubing = 94.5 g
Volume of 25' of tubing = 94.5cc = 0.0945 l
Delay time through tubing at 3 lpm (0.05 lps) = 0.0945/0.05 = 1.9 s for Meyers
Delay time through tubing at 7 lpm (0.12 lps) = 0.0945/0.12 = 0.8 s for Licor
- 261: CHEM, Site 7, Wed 28-May-1997 22:42:07 GMT, Post-CASES97 inspection of chem and rad
The equipment returned to NCAR and was unloaded on 27 May''97
I took the Chem Box and the Four component raiometer array
into the lab.
Powered-up the Chem Box:
Teco: Air flow ~ 2 lpm, internal pump and solenoids could be heard operating
The front panel came alive and settled down to give a reasonable value
for inside air ~ 10 ppbv.
Meyers: Air flow ~3 lpm, Internal pump could be heard.
Licor: The pump drew ~ 7 lpm. However the front display was dead.
Gulp: Connected output to chart recorder. Ran for two hours: no change
in output. The program is dead.
Radiometer array: Domes all look clean. Cables disconnected from patch box
The 12 VDC fan operated on test
ADDED 6 June''97
On 3 Jun''97 removed Meyers from chem-box and tested on bench. Functions OK
On 5 Jun''97 removed Licor from Chem-box and tested on bench. Front panel
display active. Zeroing works and sensor responded to hurrs

- 244: CHEM, Site 7, Tue 20-May-1997 23:13:47 GMT, Licor CO2/Chem sensor problems
The Licor CO2 sensor has been mostly down since the 17th although there
were some brief periods in which is was running.
It was brought back up: ~15:20 CDT, JD140, 20 May via simple power cycle.
NOTE the Gulp also appears to be down and not firing the solenoids to
zero the seclod, licor and meyers ozone.
Part of the outages were related to the Datel problems.
However, it appears that when the Sodalime and Ozone target change was done
on the 17th, the box A/C power cables may have been moved and then became
intermittent for at least the Licor if not the others.
This status of the chem. sensors needs to be investigated further
and fully reported.

OTHER: We are experiencing some outages of the analog channels on cosmos (station 7).
- 224: ADAM, Site 7, Sun 18-May-1997 16:17:45 GMT, Cosmos rebooted
Found this morning that the analog channels on cosmos quit reporting
around 2300 GMT yesterday. Gordon suspects the Matrix board as the
cause of the problem. John reseated all boards in cosmos and
successfully rebooted around 1500 GMT this morning. It is possible
that the problem is temperature related, since we are experiencing
higher daytime temperatures than previously during CASES97.
- 223: ADAM, Site 7, Sat 17-May-1997 22:42:17 GMT, Cosmos restarted
Cosmos was brought back up at about 22:20Z (15:20 CDT)
Analog data down from: 18:30Z (13:30 CDT)
All data down from: 19:30Z (14:30 CDT)
The Datel board hung for some reason. After returning to the base and
discovering the problem, our first fix attempt was to reboot the
adam, but it failed to come up properly. Subsequent reboot attempts
also failed.
A quick look in the $ASTER/log/asterlog but didn't reveal anything
obvious, however, it appeared that possibly the socket connection was
having difficulty getting re-established, although we didn't have the cosmos
console log to confirm that.
Meanwhile, the ppp service was OK per checking "ps -t term/1" and noting
the aspppls process was up.
A check of the "netstat -f inet" did show some TIME_WAIT connections,
so I finally took down the ingest process, restarted it and went out to
log the startup session on the adam. Before rebooting, I left the adam
powered down for perhaps 1-2 minutes. Upon power up, everything booted
normally and the turkey TIME_WAIT addresses apparently timed-out and clear
themselves so that we were left with just the
adam-ppp.8000 connects for marigold/cosmos on the socket addr 8000 as usual.

Tsfc at station #6 seems to be pointed at both a small patch of wheat growing

the station was set up there was bare ground every where. The wheat is about
3 feet tall. Since this was noticed, it was decided not to repoint it.

- 206: ADAM, Site 7, Tue 13-May-1997 20:08:35 GMT, Rebooted cosmos
Cosmos stopped around 1430 GMT and I just noticed it. Gordon thinks
that the failure was caused by a berserk print daemon on platypus.
Restarted cosmos around 2000 GMT.

Installed the AIR bandpass on the ATI tower and the CSI Krypton
sensor on the Campbell tower this afternoon. Each sensor was
installed underneath the sonic boom and "behind" the sonic.
Calibration for Krypton:
Added file $ASTER/cal_files/krypton1089
and edited $ASTER/projects/CASES97/ops1/prep.config
for marigold 100 q_kh2o("krypton1089") d=(h2o).csi
and restarted the covars.
NOTE in the krypton1089 file I put in the "Full Range"
coefficients instead of the Dry or Wet linear range.
...I presume that's correct?
These coef. were found on the Campbell worksheets
provided when the sensors were rented for this project.
Calibration for BPH with AIR fast trh:
Steve edited $ASTER/projects/CASES97/ops1/prep.config

Weather:
Ophir was down. Upon arrival, numbers like 2032, 2000 were being provided. To make sure it was up, recycled power, which naturally killed it. After fumbling around and finding the ophir.c calib routine, which Gordon documented (thanks-G), determined that "a" return is the command to initiate 20hz output. That worked and guess what, we began getting the same numbers once again!

Baro, trh, soil IC. Note Assman check first was hung on xarm over elec/batt box area; readings higher than trh, maybe a bit of sun on thermom. shafts. Last 5 readings i held it by hand toward horizon and shaded the shafts; readings
consistent. IMHO, hanging of assman isn't best approach and causes slight offsets.

We (finally) have replaced the targets for Meyers and Seclod.
I deliberately didn't replace them just before the IOP on Monday
(which ended yesterday) in case they needed time to settle.
The Meyers target was yellowed (beige?). We installed the
#2 target in its place.
Seclod still looked white, however there are bits (1mm^2) of
glass(?) shards which obviously have cracked off of the window
in front of the PMT. I tried to shake most of the shards out,
and reinstalled the sensor with the new (ATDD#1) target.

problem.
We are still experiencing ASTER data system crashes despite
reconfiguring the base computer network and raising the
station #7 antenna.

we are beginning to be able to monitor data quality
comprehensively.

Although Tony's schedule called for the ozone targets to be changed today,

it will take some time for them to equilabrate to outside conditions.
Since tomorrow continues the IOP, the next opportunity will be Wed.

When I checked the pump at 4pm today (after it had been running since 10am),
it was pretty hot (though not as bad as yesterday). I was going to leave it
going - perhaps outside the shelter to help it cool - but then started having
cosmos crashes. On the outside chance that these crashes (now during IOP1)
were power related, I decided to leave the pump off.
The licor is still on. I also refreshed the soda lime. at this time.

- 124: CHEM, Site 7, Mon 28-Apr-1997 16:21:33 GMT, licor replumbed/seclod zero
After talking to Tony last night, I've replumbed the licor in a way which
should make the pump happy. (The pump sucks on a T fitting which is connected
to the licor sample outlet and to an adjustable valve.) I've set the flow
rate (at the inlet of the chem box) to 7 lpm.
While this was going on, I had "gulp" manually set to turn off the flow
on seclod from about 0950-1010 and printed this out for Tony. It didn't
do a good zero.
- 123: TAPE_ARCHIVE, Site base, Mon 28-Apr-1997 16:20:06 GMT, Backup done
I just did a backup, requesting 4/25-4/28, but it did 4/22 - 4/24 also,
since I never did a bkfiles_kill from the last time. I just did this
and reduced the disk space usage from 62% to 9%.
- 122: UNIX, Site base, Mon 28-Apr-1997 16:18:51 GMT, platypus rebooted
This done in an attempt to get platypus treating other hosts properly - didn't
work, so it is still a bit sick (but functional).
Of course, we also had to reboot marigold and cosmos. (Marigold had died
last night at 1830 anyway).
- 121: STATUS, Site all, Mon 28-Apr-1997 16:17:19 GMT, Yesterday's evening status
HIGHLIGHTS: I apologize for not getting this out yesterday or earlier
today - we've been busy.
All sensors now up except for 1 soil sensor installation.
All fast-response hygrometers are now working, and are
not "bagged". (They are exposed, as they should be.)
CO2 fluxes still are not available due to a pump problem.
We have reconfigured the base computer network and raised
an antenna to try to prevent ASTER data system crashes.
We have lost the PAM data feed through GOES, due to software
changes in Boulder. As reported before, these data can
be recovered, but we can't look at them to examine data
quality.
WEATHER: Scattered Cumulus most of the day, light winds, soil dry.
IOP: Scheduled to begin at 1500 (local) tomorrow (Monday)

OTHER:
At Gordon's suggestions, we have swapped the worksations
"platypus" and "cocklebur", so that the somewhat faster
platypus now handles all network connections. It will
need to be rebooted (tomorrow) to put it in a final
configuration. Hopefully, this will solve some of the
crashes we've had, though there still were some crashes
last night through platypus. We also have raised the
freewave antenna on cosmos in an attempt to avoid
radio interference.
Gordon's new way to read the merged PAM and ASTER data
files works, and I have converted about 2/3 of the
daily plot routines to use it. Now all we need is the
actual files with the data! (Apparently, the original
attempt to do this took longer than real-time, so the
processing eventually crashed. Gordon is rewriting it
to be faster.)

- 104: SOFTWARE, Site base, Sat 26-Apr-1997 16:58:29 GMT, new splus data read routine
Here's how to use the new surf routine in S+
From the shell, do:
set_project
the new version of set_project sets two new environ
variables:
SURF_NETCDF_DIR
SURF_NETCDF_FILE
Splus
> iod <- surf(c("u","v","u:w","p","u.csat"))
> d <- read(iod,"1997 apr 23 00:00","1997 apr 23 01:00")
> close(iod)
There are two other arguments to read(): dt and avgperiod.
dt is the desired resolution of the data. If any variables in
the file are higher resolution than dt, then they are averaged
to dt, with the specified average period (see average.ats).
If you do a read of a combination of 5 and 1 minute data, and
specify dt=60:
iod <- surf(c("u","v","u.prop","v.prop"))
d <- read(iod,"1997 apr 23 00:00","1997 apr 23 01:00",dt=60)
the resulting matrix will contain 1 minute data, with NA's inserted
into the sonic data - no interpolation, or last-value-repeated
support yet.
If you do:
iod <- surf(c("u","v","u.prop","v.prop"))
d <- read(iod,"1997 apr 23 00:00","1997 apr 23 01:00")
then you'll get 5 minute data, with block averages of the 1 minute
data, because the default for dt is 300 secs.
More to come...

OTHER:
While searching for power problems at cosmos, we found that
the intake pump for the LI-COR CO2 sensor had burned up.
While it was dying, it may have loaded the power and caused
the crashes. We have had no unexplained crashes since
removing this pump.
- 93: ADAM, Site 7, Thu 24-Apr-1997 15:02:33 GMT, Power status at station 7
Over the last few days we have experience power problems
at site 7. It appears the AC units overload the line power
when they turn on. During one test the voltage drop to 75 volts
at site 7.
Upon Kurt's recommendations, a couple of items have been done.
First, only the front AC unit will be operating. The back unit
will be left on but the thermostat will be set to minimum and
maximum levels. Each AC unit fan will be left running. The power
load from the chemistry equipment was transfer to the other leg
of the transformer. This will balance the load on the transformer.
After the changes above, a test was run. The results were ok.
However, the pump in the chemistry shelter was not running. Upon
inspection, the pump motor had died. This may have been a factor
in the problems from the previous day.
Throughout the night cosmos stayed up.
- 92: BARO, Site 7, Wed 23-Apr-1997 22:51:04 GMT, changed p and tsurf channels
I couldn't get channels 126 and 127 to report good data, which appears to
be related to removing the veggie meter yesterday. As a stopgap measure,
I've moved these signals to 120 and 121 (since the UV sensor has not
arrived yet.) This would require a change of ops to recover data from
the setup phase.

Tried to use talk to communicate with baro after data collection stopped.
No luck. Tried SEND 1 and OPEN 1 commands. Also tossed in some
^J and ^M characters just for good measure. Nada.
pulled power on it, and after starting it again was able to get data via a
"SEND 1"
This is the second baro to do this today.

- 88: CHEM, Site 7, Wed 23-Apr-1997 18:43:18 GMT, Care and Feeding of Meyers Ozone Sensor
The Meyers O3 sensor uses a chemiluminescence target which reacts with Ozone
to produce light. The efficiency of the target decreases with time.
The target needs to be changed
To change the target:
Slide the Ozone Sensor slightly foreward and open the lid.
Power down the Ozone Sensor by pulling apart the BLUE 12 VDC disconnect.
Unscrew the Al plug on the right hand end of the metal cylinder
Take the Al plug to the trailer.
Remove the previous target, replace the double sided sticky tape, lay the
new target on the plug face, store the old target in the envelope.
Return the Al plug, screw it in finger-tight and repower the sensor.
Once a week install a new target. I suggest:
Target Install Use
#1 18 April 1997 18 April - 28 April
#2 28 April 1997 28 April - 8 May
#3 8 May 1997 8 May - 16 May
#4 16 May 1997 16 May - 24 May
The instruction sheet and circuit diagrams for the Meyers Ozone Sensor are
in the chemistry drawer in the middle room of the base trailer.
The targets are in a plastic bag in the plastic box in the chemistry drawer.
- 87: CHEM, Site 7, Wed 23-Apr-1997 18:42:49 GMT, Care and Feeding of the Licor CO2 Sensor.
The Licor sensor relies on a carbon vane pump in the Chem box to draw air
through the sensor at a high flow. The pump flow is indicated on the
floating ball guage in the top right of the front of the box. The flow
should be between 5 - 7 lpm. There is an adjustment valve in the aft part of the box. It can be reached from the front.
The Licor CO2 sensor has a small lucite cylinder containing SodaLime.
This is to scrub CO2 from the sample after it passes through the sample
cell and before it passes through the zero cell. If the capacity of the
SodaLime to scrub CO2 from the air-stream is exceeded, then there is
no good zero for the differential optical measurement.
Once a week
Power down the Licor
Open the back of the Chem Box
Detach the connector panel
Remove the swagelok connectors for little lucite cylinder.
Dump out the old SodaLime and refill from the bottle.i
Refit the cylinder and tighten the swagelok connectors
Reassemble Chem Box
Restart Licor
A 9/16 wrench is required to undo and redo the Swagelok nut. Do not
over-tighten.
SodaLime is not toxic nor very corrosive and small amounts can be disposed
of in the garbage.
I suggest changing the SodaLime on the same day as changing the Meyers
ozone sensor target discs.

- 85: CHEM, Site 7, Wed 23-Apr-1997 17:24:07 GMT, Care and Feeding of SECL
The SECL ozone sensor uses a chemiluminescence target which reacts with
ozone to produce light. The efficiency of the target decreases with time
The target needs to be changed
Two different versions of target are being tested; the GFAS target
and the ATDD target. GFAS is more efficient but has a water interference.
ATDD is less efficient but may be free of the water effect.
To change the target:
Select the replacement target from the box in the Chemistry Drawer
Carry the target holder out to site7 in the little tupperware box
Climb the tower, unplug the cable, carry SECL down.
Remove the putty around the base of the intake (light leak prevention)
Unscrew three screws around back edge
Withdraw the entire sensor.
Remove the Al sticky tape securing the target holder.
(The target holder fits into the front top of the sensor)
Remove old target holder, implace the new target holder
Replace the Al sticky tape (maybe use fresh tape)
Insert the sensor in the can, reapply the putty, reattach the back.
Climb the tower and reattach to Velcro , recable.
I would like the following schedule
GFAS 1 23 Apr - 28 Apr
ATDD 1 28 Apr - 3 May
GFAS 2 3 May - 8 May
ATDD 2 8 May - 13 May
GFAS 3 13 May - 18 May
ATDD 3 18 May - 23 May
(The actual change time should be noted in this logbook entry)
Zeroing of SECL.
The GULP microprocessor is set up to no-flow zero for 1 minute every 30 minutes.
(See logbook entry 83 , Zero chem programming)
I would like a zero-ozone zero for each new target.
A day after the new target is installed take a helium party balloon out to site.Bring SECL down, still attached to the cable. Rest SECL on the break-out box.
Make a small slit in the ballon with a razor or knife and insert SECL's intake.
Let SECL inhale Helium for a minute or so.
Return SECL to tower.
The slit can be sealed with tape and one balloon will do for two zeros
- 84: CHEM, Site 7, Wed 23-Apr-1997 16:57:43 GMT, Care and Feeding of the ThermoElectron Ozone detector
The TECO operates continuously and rarely requires attention.
It may occasionally go into a state of microprocessor confusion when it
generates a hi-lo-hi-lo output.
Mostly it will cure itself . However if the condition persists for more than
several hours the sensor should be switched off and after a minute, repowed.
- 83: SOIL, Site all, Wed 23-Apr-1997 16:09:14 GMT, TRIME measurements
Every time that a soil core is taken for Bulk Density/Gravimetric Moisture
Trime measurements should be taken.
A standard procedure to follow.
In the general vicinity of the Dark Horse and the buried soil probes take
a soil core sample. Then within a meter or so of the core take three or four
Trime measurements. Calculate the average value

OTHER:
We have had lots of crashes with aster data system for
site #7, cosmos, both during the day and every morning
before we arrive. The data system for #8, marigold,
has worked flawlessly (over a longer radio path), so we
don't think that software or communications are the
problem. We suspect that AC power to #7 is the culprit,
and have measured voltages as low as 77 VAC (should be
120 VAC) at the site during periods when the air conditioners
at the base trailer are on. [The site #7 towers are powered
from the base trailer.] We have shut the air conditioners
off, but are looking at other solutions. We probably will
put a UPS on the power line for this site.

If an ADAM fails to boot at the very first step:
"attaching to network..." ...." Timeout "
The problem probably is that the "aspppls" process is not running.
Search for this process with:
"ps -t term/N", where N is 0 for marigold or 1 for cosmos
If it isn't there, it will restart if the modem carrier drops and is
brought back, which can be accomplished by cycling power to the freewave
at the site. (Obviously, this can be done while in the field.)

- 74: SOIL, Site all, Mon 21-Apr-1997 22:49:39 GMT, Soil moisture probes
Talked to Campbell today about new CS615s versus old CS615s. The new
probes should say "Made In USA" on the plastic case. The manual says
the new probes have 8221-07 on the cable, but this apparently is not
always the case. The labels have a lot number LT#XXXXXX. One of ours
said LT#410739 the 4 was for April, the 10 for the 10th week of the
year, and the 7 for 1997. Any probes made after late 1996 should be
of the new version.
New probes have different responses in dry air and in water. The old
probes read about 1.05 msec in dry air. The new ones seem to read
about 0.75 in dry air.
Here are the PAM probe types:
St1 new
St2 old
St3 new
St4 new (high conductivity soil)
St5 old
St6 old
St7 ??? ASTER
St8 ??? ASTER
Site specific soil calibrations have been generated for sites 1--6 in
$ASTER/apps/sfun/PAM_ROBOT/data/Q.SOILX.q The cals will probably have
to be adjusted somewhat based on TRIME and gravimetric
measurements--especially those at sites 3 and 4 in high conductivity
soil.

The Chemical Box was addressed on Friday 18 April 97.
It was hauled into the trailer and put into order. Intakes, power
data connections were made and Tecod, Licor CO2 and Meyers O3 were operated.
The GULP microprocessor was reprogrammed by Steve O.
On Saturday, 19 Apr, the other sensors were ready and in the afternoon SECL
was addressed.
Test points for HV input were installed. (1 VDC = -250 VDC)
An ATTD target was installed.
Twenty hopkalite screens were inserted into the killer cartridge.
The reversing fan sucessfully operated and the flow through
the newly installed hopkalite screen tube was checked. The question of flow
obstruction by the screens was left till the sensor was running.
The output remained constant at ~ 1.3 indicating that the electronics
were not operating properly.
A -12VDC supply was wired into the system.
On Sunday, 20 Apr, the sensor was run with the extra -12VDC. Exposing the intake
to direct sun gave a response indicating that the PMT and amplifier
were working.
The HV was increased from -750 VDC to -1150 VDC and the sensor run outside.
Still no good.
The ATTD target was replaced by a GFAS target and the sensor run outside.
Steve O reprogrammed GULP.
At ~ 1500 the sensor began to respond.
The Chemical sensors, in their box were deployed and started up at ~1700.
The outputs were ragged but basically OK.
At 1830 CDT the HV of SECLOD was decreased to -1100 VDC.
On Monday, 21 Apr, the chemical sensor data was examined.
SECLOD had settled down and the spectral responses od SECLOD and Meyers
were compared.
At 11:48 CDT the GFAS target was replaced with the ATTD target.
At ~17:15-17:45 SECL was brought into the Base and the entire killer cartridge
was removed. SECL was reinstalled.
FINDINGS
SECL works more or less the same as during FLATLAND96
The reversing fan system works
Twenty Hopkalite screens in the cartridge doesnt significantly decrease flow
but there is breakthrough with only ~ 30% ? destruction.
With no killer cartridge the reverse flow is 10% ? low but variance smoothed.
Both ATDD and GFAS targets work but GFAS is ~4X higher luminescent
On Tuesday, 22 Apr, at 9:45 did a bag zero using a garbasge bag of base air into which Hopkalite was added.
At 10:55 SECL removed from tower. 20 screen cartridge removed (had it not been removed the previous eve?),
and a 5cm of Hopkalite killer cartridge was added. SECL replaced on tower at 11:50
At 13:30 SECL intake inserted in Hopkalite containing zero bag
possibility of contamination of sensor
At 15:04 did He zero
At 15:10 SECL and GULP removed to base. SECL cartridge removed entirely, sensor cleaned. GULP relays
reconfigured for 59 min of fan sample, 1 min of fan off (rather than 59 min aample 1 min reverse)
At 16:00 Restored on tower, It was confirmed that the fan did stop for 1 min.

- 65: FASTH2O, Site 7, Sun 20-Apr-1997 19:52:49 GMT, modified ophier calib routine
I've noticed that the ophir data from site 7 (the only ophir so far) have had
a lot of spikes. They are of two types: zero values and double values.
I've isolated the double value glitches to an occasional "stuck bit" in
the reference measurement, with values off by 256 counts.
I've added simple despiking of this channel into the ophir calibration
routine which appears to fix this problem, though I haven't tested it
through zero values.

In order to use the gravimetric and volumetric soil fraction the bulk
density of dry soil must be determined for each site.
The proceedure to be used utilizes the soil corer.
Load the corer barrel
knotched insert
1 cm insert
3 cm insert
3 cm insert
1 cm insert
Drive the corer into the soil until the topflange is level with the surface.
Return to the base and dissaemble.
Scrape/cut off the ends of the core leaving only the two 3 cm inserts full
Dump the soil into an Al Baby Loaf Pan and take a tared wt
Place the Pan in the soil oven to dry.
Take a tared wt each day until there is a constant wt.
The diameter of the inserts is 2 1/8" = 5.4 cm
Area = 5.4 x 5.4 x 3.14 / 4 = 22.9 cm2
Vol = 22.9 x 6 = 137.4 cm3
Report the Bulk Density as (dried wt/ 137.4 cm3)
The Gravimetric Fraction can also be determined as (1st wt - last wt)/ last wt

NESDIS RF QUALITY Parameters

----------------------------
The pam_ascii data files include RF quality parameters with
each message.
To make it easier to examine use:
cut -c10-60 /pam/pam_ascii/970408.pam > rf.text.file
That removes the bulk of the data, and the superflous year/day
from the header.
You'll then have something like this (without the title)

kansas.net seems to be shutting down our connection, often every

The connection time is often exactly 30 minutes, so that it does not
appear to be due to a noisy phone line or loss of carrier.
I've put a ping of kansas-net into my crontab to run every 10 minutes.
That should bring the connection back up so that Boulderites

The file /etc/uucp/Systems contains further information on dial-out

for kansas-net contains the expect/send strings that are used

ACU as the call device. The description of the ACU is found in
/etc/uucp/Devices. The last field in the entry for ACU is "usrv32-ec"
which is an entry for a US Robotics modem in /etc/uucp/Dialers.
The "usrv32-ec" entry in Dialers is where the modem AT command

Diagnosing PPP RF connections
Log file: cocklebur:/etc/log/asppp.log
The asppp.log file is useful to watch. You may want to leave a term window
on cocklebur doing a "tail -f asppp.log".
Every time the carrier line drops on a Freewave modem, even for a second,
you will see entries like so:
01:53:06 process_ipd_msg: interface ipdptp1 has disconnected
01:53:06 disconnect: disconnected connection from ipdptp1
01:53:12 start_ip: IP up on interface ipdptp1, timeout set for 600 seconds
This indicates that carrier was lost momentarily on the Freewave
connection to cosmos. It was back up in 6 seconds. The socket
connections to the ADAM stay up, the adam keeps running and no data
is lost during these short interruptions. I saw these carrier drops
every few minutes when testing the freewaves in the lab, with the
antennas 2 feet apart, on a low power setting.
If the RF modems are powered up with carrier, then the aspppls process
should be active on the serial ports.
To check for aspppls enter:
ps -t term/0
ps -t term/1
These commands should show the aspppls process on the port.
PID TTY TIME CMD
7877 term/0 0:00 aspppls
If the carrier detect on a serial port is too active, going up and
down repeatedly, then after a while the Sun will start to ignore it,
namely the port monitor will not spawn aspppls when the carrier detect line
is raised.. If aspppls is not active on the port, then the adam will
not be able to establish a ppp connection.
There is a crontab entry on the root account on cocklebur, which
checks every 10 minutes that aspppls is active on the two ports,
and if not, runs /usr/local/adm/serialports/ppp_direct.pmadm which
restarts the port monitor. You must be root to restart the port monitor.
Status of Adam connection
To view statistics of the Adam data connection, enter:
sshow cosmos 0
or sshow marigold 0
This will display the data from the status channel 0 from the adam
as follows:
c:000 cosmos mem:50560 nent:100 nlost:0 nlate:0 pS:0 pD:0 dT:5100 msec, blocked:
863, lost:0, writerr:0 buf:80624
"lost:" shows the number of data samples that have been lost due
to network stoppages. The number of severe write errors on the
data socket are also shown under writerr. "buf:" shows the available
network buffer size in bytes. As the network becomes clogged the
available buffer size will shrink to 0.
Viewing Setup and RF Statistics of a Freewave Modem
Disconnect the serial cable between cocklebur and the freewave.
This will cause a carrier detect drop on the line and processes
that are using the serial port will exit. Then do:
kermit -l /dev/cua/N -b 19200 -c
N is 0 for the marigold freewave, 1 for cosmos
If you get a "? can't open device" wait a few moments and try again.
Once kermit says it is connected, reconnect the cable. Press the reset
button on the front of the modem, and use the menus to configure
the modem and display the RF statistics.

Note that cocklebur is our big-time network gateway, and has
3 different net names (cocklebur, sssf.kansas.net and adam-ppp)
and 3 IP addresses. When you're accessing it from outside, address
it as sssf.kansas.net. When accessing it from the other PAM base
systems, call it cocklebur.
For ftp, telnet, rlogin and Web access, sssf.kansas.net is
the only system that is visible to the outside world. Therefore, if
you want to ftp to the PAM base from Boulder, you must ftp
to sssf.kansas.net. Likewise, if you want to ftp from the base to
anywhere on the internet, you must do it from sssf.kansas.net (cocklebur).
Email has been configured so that you can send email from any system
at the base (aster, platypus, cocklebur) to the Internet.
Your Email will have a return address of user@sssf.kansas.net.
It is should be much easier to send email directly from the base,
rather than logging into stout.
Once you're in the field (and the base system is setup) you can have
your email forwarded to Kansas. To do this, log into stout and create
a .forward file on your home directory containing one line:
youruserid@sssf.kansas.net
ADAM network:
You can rlogin or rserial the adams from cocklebur, aster or platypus.
