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)

78: LOG, Site 6, Tue 22-Apr-1997 18:39:48 GMT, Quick trip to 6
  I took a trip to station 6 to rotate the krypton 90
degrees so it agrees with the alignment of the other
kryptons.
  A soil sample was taken.
  I also took a boom alignment measurement with the
datascope: prop - 342.5, gill (NE-SW) - 212.4.
