- 270: RAD, Site all, Fri 21-May-1999 16:47:07 MDT, Recalibration of Licors
This file was originally generated by Steve Oncley on 25 Feb''99
using calibration summary (from factory certificates in Cathy's files)
The file was modified by Tony delany 21 May 1999 to include the later
calibrations done by Don Nelson
To see how Don presented the sensitivity see below.

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

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.)
- 101: STATUS, Site all, Fri 25-Apr-1997 15:52:02 GMT, Daily status

All fast-response hygrometers are now working, though
the ones on PAM are bagged for protection from precip.
A new type of ASTER data system crash has occurred, we're
trying to diagnose it.
The PAM data feed through GOES was lost yesterday due to
snow in Boulder. We have alternate ways of recovering these
data, but they are not available for this report.
WEATHER: High, thin overcast (ceiling 3200m), light winds, surface dry
IOP: No IOP today or through the weekend (due to a slowly-moving
storm now centered in Nevada which should bring precip).

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.

- 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.

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

SENSOR DETAILS:
Pressure All stations up.
Wind All stations up.
T/RH #1, #2, #6, and #7 up. Awaiting shipment (any day now) of
more sensors.
Sonic #1 fixed by power cycling 2 days ago, so all okay now.
Fast q Krypton hygrometers at #1-6 are bagged to prevent damage.
OPHIR at #7 has reported bad data, which we are diagnosing
(not swinging as I had thought before). Both OPHIRs were
remounted closer to the tower yesterday.
OPHIR at #8 is awaiting delivery of a missing power cord.
T surface All stations up.
Solar All stations up.
Rnet All stations up, but radiation stands at #3 and #5 are
awaiting farmer working of the field for installation.
Planting at #3 started yesterday, planting at #5 is expected
next week.
Soil T #3 and #5 not deployed (see Rnet). Other stations are up.
Soil q #3 and #5 not deployed (see Rnet). Other stations are up,
but values are quite variable (50-250%). We are working on
this problem.
Rain All stations up. We're waiting for rain to check them.
Batteries Power to all stations is normal.
Station #7 sensors:
Pyg&Psp Up.
NDVI Up, but data have not been checked.
CO2 Working in the base, to be installed today (didn't yesterday,
see SECLOD).
O3 (Meyers) Working in the base, to be installed today.
O3 (TECO) Working in the base, to be installed today.
O3 (SECLOD) Found circuit problem yesterday, which delayed installation.
We expect to install all chemical sensors today.
Station #8 sensors:
CSI sonic Up.
Psi-band Still awaiting final design.

SENSOR DETAILS:
Pressure All stations up.
Wind All stations up. Still need to measure sensor alignment on #1 and #2.
T/RH #1, #2, #6, and #7 up. Awaiting shipment (today) of more sensors.
Sonic #1 (Asymmetric Gill from NOAA) data became bad 2 days ago. All boom angles
have been measured and sensors are leveled (though angles not entered
in calibration files yet).
Fast q Krypton hygrometers at #1-6 are bagged to prevent damage.
OPHIR at #7 gave some bad data yesterday, which may be due to swinging
in the wind. We will remount it closer to the tower and may add an
"anti-swing" guy wire to the tower.
OPHIR at #8 is awaiting delivery of a missing power cord.
T surface All stations up.
Solar All stations up.
Rnet All stations up, but radiation stands at #3 and #5 are awaiting farmer
working of the field for installation.
Soil T #3 and #5 not deployed (see Rnet). Other stations are up.
Soil q #3 and #5 not deployed (see Rnet). Other stations are up.
Gravimetric samples done at #1, #2, #6, #7, #8.
TRIME measurements done #1, #2, #6.
Rain All stations up with MRI gauges. ETI gauges also are up at #2 and #6.
Batteries Power to all stations is normal.
Station #7 sensors:
Pyg&Psp Up.
NDVI Up, but data have not been checked (range may have to be changed on
electronics on tower)
CO2 Working in the base trailer, to be installed today.
O3 (Meyers) Working in the base trailer, to be installed today.
O3 (TECO) Working in the base trailer, to be installed today.
O3 (SECLOD) Working in the base trailer, to be installed today.
Station #8 sensors:
CSI sonic Up. Gives a few spikes which probably are false detections by the
despiking algorithm.
Psi-band Still awaiting final design.
