Arrived 16:11
A series of tests were carried out to determine and reduce Kr signal noise
The fast data was acquired for later analysis (logged as s7.020610):
- Battery pack ( 1.61v ) to AMP-9 - Good ~ 8035
- Battery pack to serial A/D - Good ~ 16065
- Kr 1394 installed (head in zip-log bag); wired directly to A/D (lots of
GOES noise)
17:00 disconnected the grey cable from Kr box and reconnected using
red cable (better shielding?)
17:05 removed plastic bag covering Kr head
- connected via front panel
Turned off station and re-did GOES shielding (twisted wires vs. clip leads to
ground, shielded GOES transmitter power as well). Noise now ~80,
A crudely-annotated plot of the above data is attached.
Conclusion: most of the "noise" seen on this station was still GOES
interference. I've significantly reduced it, but it is still present.
Time will tell if 1394 behaves better at this station than its former location
at s9. It checks out okay in the lab (13mA, 1.7V in dry air -- even
better than 1392 that just came back from Campbell) and I've just replaced
the 4-pin connector which had a small amount of white corrosion. Nevertheless,
I don't have much confidence that the connector change will fix the low-noise
problem.
Changed station configuration to use kry1394s.dat calibration file.

Set GOES transmission time by GPS. Was 4 sec off before correcting.
Dropped mast and mounted the three Kr heads below sonic.
To test the kryptons, we first mounted each of the 3 krypton boxes (by
climbing). Then, we dropped the tower and mounted all 3 Kr heads near the
sonic. We raised the mast and took more data through various boxes. Finally,
we dropped the mast to recover the 1393 & 1394 heads and raised the mast again.
Data were viewed locally using "fastsave" (after waiting 7-9 min :( )
The various combinations:
Head Box h2o w'h2o' h2o'h2o'

What I was expecting was near 0 w'h2o' using either 1393,1394 head or their
boxes. These results don't make sense -- perhaps we got to this site too
late to have good fluxes.
To work with these data further, I swapped SDR 5 -> 2.

Set GOES transmission time.
Exchanged serializer and examined noise:
Didn't have a working CSAT-1 serializer in the spare box :(, also the A/D
from the one CSAT-1 spare didn't work with the CSAT-1 CPU in the box.
Thus, changed to a configuration with the old CSAT-1 CPU and the A/D from
the UW-1 that we removed from s9 yesterday. The reference voltages were
nearly the same -- the CPU is -88 and the A/D is -86. I left it this way.
I used "fastsave" to examine the data, expecting a good result to be a large
reduction in h2o'h2o'.
h2o w'h2o' h2o'h2o'
17.82 0.029 0.145 before changes; obviously bad
17.91 0.023 0.199 "
18.24 0.023 0.028 change to -86 A/D; (short fastsave)
18.02 0.012 0.264 " (normal length fastsave)
18.03 -0.001 0.336 "; reseated all connectors on EVE and also
changed to spare Krypton signal cable
Obviously, none of these changes improved matters. I went back to the normal
cabling, though I left the -86 A/D board in place.
The only thing I can think of next is to work on the front panel itself!
Removed Kr 1393 for transport to station 8 for tests

Graphic: | rain and rnet
At several sites, especially s6 and also s5, there has been ongoing rain
indicated which we don't think can be real. I've attached a plot showing
that for a 3-day period of clear skies over the entire state that accumulations
of up to 8mm of rain were indicated. There doesn't appear to be a good
correlation with wind speed. I would guess electronic noise is the source,
but haven't tried to isolate this.

Today we did a number of swaps to isolate the krypton problem. The preliminary
results are somewhat confusing:
1. Changing the serializer made no difference at s9.
2. High variance and noisy fluxes still occur at s7 (using a different sensor)
3. Fluxes at s8 increased with different sensor.
The conclusion?
We started out with two problems: weak sensors at s8,9 and a bad data system
at s7?
If this is correct, installing a new serializer at s7 should bring back low
variance data from this sensor. We should put in correct coefficients, but
we still apparently need 2 new sensors. (We only have one spare and it is
in FedEx stasis at the moment.) We can try the old box/head tests to see if
we are lucky with the source of this problem.

- 218: Fast_KH2O, Site , Fri 07-Jun-2002 22:19:39 CDT, Summary of kryptons
This project has had ongoing problems getting good fast-response water vapor
data from all of the sites. Many of these problems are related to rain.
During CASES97, krypton hygrometers routinely failed due to rain shorting out
the "heads". These hygrometers now have a sealant which appears to be much
more robust. However, the seals of the electronics are now starting to fail.
During the first weeks of IHOP, electronics which failed were cleaned and
resealed. However, some of these have had recurring failures. Because of
this (and after consultation with the manufacturer), we have just opened up
and cleaned each box, replaced connectors which were bad (at s7,8,9), nominally
sealed the box with its gasket, and put a plastic "shoebox" over each
electronics box. THIS NOW HAS BEEN DONE AT ALL SITES.
Despite this, site 4 still had intermittently bad data yesterday which appeared
to be related to the coax signal cable. (It gave the same symptoms -- jumping
between 3mV and 13000mV as another krypton which was fixed by cleaning the
internal coax cable. Also, "wiggling" and reseating this connector temporarily
fixed the problem.) Since the connector broke when we attempted to fix it,
this cable is now hardwired to the electronics. The data look fine both before
and after this "fix".
However, there remains a serious problem at s8 and s9. Sometime about May 20,
the variance of the krypton signal decreased drastically. A scatterplot vs.
humidity from a slow-response sensor shows it about a factor of 2 low in gain.
High-rate time series from s8 show that the signal is close to the level of
digitizing noise. I don't see any obvious change that would have been made
at this time other than the occurance of rain. The calibration coefficients
are similar to those at other sites (though I haven't verified the actual
coefficients at the site itself). I'm baffled, but the next steps appear
to be obvious: swap in our "spare" which should arrive tomorrow from being
fixed at the factory and calibrated at NCAR; check the voltage through a
meter and through our data system (I did this at s7, but not s8,9); swap
"serializer" boards used to digitize this signal.
- 217: Soil, Site , Fri 07-Jun-2002 22:06:56 CDT, Summary of soil profile noise
Since this project began, we have struggled with noise on the soil profile data,
especially in the water potential data. After several tests, it was found that
two changes reduce the noise significantly (at least an order of magnitude):
1. At the sites with 4-component radiation sensors (s1,8,9), the fans used to
aspirate these sensors were generating continuous noise. We disconnected
all power to all of these fans. [The primary reason for these fans is
to make the pyrgeometer dome temperature uniform, but with good natural
aspiration (wind > 2 m/s?) or uniform radiation (clear, cloudy, or night),
this isn't necessary. There could be some error at dawn or dusk.]
Sites 2-7 don't have fans anyway.
THIS HAS BEEN DONE TO ALL OF THE SITES - 1,8,9
2. At the solar-powered sites, there was daytime noise which appeared to be
related to the solar charging of the batteries. The solution we have
adopted is to run the data logger on a separate battery. These sites then
have two batteries connected to solar panels to operate the rest of the
station. Since the power consumption of the logger is quite small, we
expect the separate battery to be adequate for the rest of the project. It
also is possible that batteries could be swapped during station service
visits.
This has been done to sites 2,3,4,5,6. We still need to convert sites 7,9.
- 216: Radiation, Site , Fri 07-Jun-2002 21:54:06 CDT, Summary of radiometer cals
We know from EBEX and others that we need to check the PIRs for their response
to short-wave radiation. Wim has said that the way to do this is to shade each
PIR in clear-sky conditions along with a PSP. The PSP data show the change
in Rsw.in by the shading object and the PIR data show the response (pile,
Tdome, and possibly Tcase).
With only one "shader" (made of foil and cable ties), we alternately shade the
PSP and the PIR. We have played with several cycling times: 30s and 60s,
sometimes with an additional 60s in between.
Steve Semmer created a "mode 3" program
for this purpose which causes the CR10 to output continuous radiation data
from the CR10s (as opposed to normal operation with the CR10 accumulating
5-minute averages and also outputting soil data). At some stations, it
is possible to collect these data through EVE using "talk", at others, it
is necessary to direct-connect to the CR10 (using a cable which Steve made
for this purpose). This cable works best in the "old" mode (with the CR10
getting power through the AMP-9 connector), so I temporarily converted back
to "old" mode at one or two sites just for this test. The data themselves
are collected using the "logging" capability of "minicom".
We discovered a small bug in the CR10 program in this mode which made the
Tdome and Tcase valued offscale. Thus, we changed coefficients for these
channels to be linear with a gain of 1 and just collect them in mV.
Since the sky was clear the last 2 days, we just did this test at sites 1,3
yesterday and 2,4,5,6 today.
NOTE At several of the four component sites, I have found spiders living
inside the ventilator housings. They emerge and sit atop the dome. At site
1 I took a photo of such a spider. When threatened it moved inside and then
returned to its perch after a minute or so.

The logger was set to allow fast data to be collected. Found during call
to Steve Semmer that Tdome and Tcase were scaled incorrectly. Decided to
take data with just voltage output from these by changing all coefficients
to 0,1,0,0,0. Captured to s1l.020606
After the test the logger was programmed to its normal mode. [PS: WRONG!?]
Checked that clamp holding mast was secure.
Depart 17:44

Arrived 9:49
Logger already wired to an extra separate battery. This battery was recovered
and the logger was wired to the third PAM battery
A jury-rigged one screw mount, within the plastic box was made for the Kr. This involved rotating the Kr mounting block so the box is on the sonic side of the
mast. The small coax connector of the Kr 1390 electronics needed to be reseated.

Visit to reinstall krypton boxes after all that Tony brought back to the lab
yesterday passed inspection and to hang them in plasic boxes. This to be
done before a King Air PBL mission today over the Central legs.
- drove in (only wet around oil pumps)

- moved clamp, installed plastic box and krypton electronics by climbing
- copied /card
- switched CR10 from 4th battery to 3rd battery, disconnected 3rd from 2nd,
removed 4th battery (with controller/monitor)
- checked krypton signal -- was low, reseated connector -- was 30-13000mV,
knew that this meant bad signal (coax) cable/connector problem, but that
connector inside box checked out okay yesterday. Deduced that the problem
was the coax cable, played with cable, now 600mV. THIS CABLE PROBABLY
SHOULD BE REBUILT. S/N 1390.

Peggy Lemone and Fei Chen visited yesterday. I took them to sites 7,9,8 while
I rehung krypton electronics (which were cleaned up and had new 6-pin connectors
installed in the trailer) in plastic boxes and downloaded /card. All of these
were serviced by climbing -- the towers were not dropped.
It was raining during all of these visits, so all kryptons were wet. All
krypton signals were only ~30mV -- hopefully they will recover.
I intended to do the logger power rewiring at s7 and s9, but forgot to bring
power cables :(
Approximate times were:
s7: 1340-1420 (drove in -- Peggy walked)
s9: 1530-1600 (started to drive in, got stuck in the mud!)

I've attempted to do a quick look at the files I captured to evaluate the
effect of the GOES spikes. I was trying to capture both krypton and Tsfc
data during the period of 2 GOES transmissions -- one before shielding and
one after. Ideally, you would see one pulse in one or both of the signals
before shielding and nothing after.
(I have copied all of these files to Boulder into
/net/pam/projects/IHOP02/captures/ )
I wrote the code "sift.q" to plot the capture files. Note that I have not
attempted to figure out time in these plots, though I did sprinkle a modest
amount of EVE "time" commands during the file captures so that time
be figured out.
I didn't capture everything at some of the stations -- usually forgetting to
capture a "before shielding" data set in my rush to fix things. Also, the
connector problem at 2,3, and 4 caused no good Tsfc data to be collected after
shielding. Some of these tests should be repeated.
I'm attaching to this message the plots that I made. Sorry they are all
PostScript.
- 192: Fast_KH2O, Site all, Tue 04-Jun-2002 18:25:14 CDT, Cleaning Kr electronic box connectors
The problem with the Kr appears to be water impacting on the outside of the
case, running down the grooves in the case extrusion and then seeping into the
box where it stands and corrodes the connectors.
We are retreiving all Kr boxes, disassembling the connectors, cleaning the
metal and using new connectors reassembling
The Kr electronics boxes are to be mounted on the mast, inside plastic
tupperware containers, hopefully to prevent any water from wetting even
the outside of the electronics boxes.
On Tues, 4 Jun''02 Kr electronic boxes were recovered from sites 7, 8 and 9.
These were opened and the corrossion clean out and new six pin connectors
installed. (TO BE REINSTALLED ON WED 5 JUN PM)
On Wed, 5 Jun''02 Kr electronic boxes were recovered from sites 4, 5 and 6.
These were opened and it was discovered that previous Peel and Seal treatment
had been quite sucessfull. There was no corrossion although the box from
Station 6, Kr 1397 did have some liquid water in it. On Wed PM these boxes
were resealed. (TO BE REINSTALLED ON THU6 JUN PM)

Anomolies:
Krypton at s7 obviously bad -- probably water damage to electronics. This
is our highest priority to try to fix today.
Krypton at s9 weak -- appears to be a weak array. We'll replace this as
soon as we have a working spare. (Our spare was FedExed last night to
Boulder for evaluation.)
Tsfc data not coming in at s2, s3 due to a misseated connector. Hal should
get to these today.
SOME soil profiles water potentential noisy. Our tests yesterday showed that
turning off the radiometer ventilation fans and running the logger on a
separate battery stops the noise. We will unplug the fans as soon as
possible and figure out a way to rewire power to the loggers.

- 182: GOES, Site , Sun 02-Jun-2002 17:07:16 CDT, Changing GOES transmissions
[From an e-mail from Gordon:]
Steve,
You probably know most of this, but here's how to change the GOES transmission
rate:
The GOES configs are in the files called $PAM/config/s0N_goes.dat, where N=1:9
They are on the panasonic, and on aster.
They contain this line:
# GOES: SIO_PORT XMIT_ID XMIT_CHAN RATE OFFSET clock_update_rate=xx_minut
GOES: /tyCo/4 36416752 125 00:05:00 00:00:05 CLOCK_UPDATE_RATE=6 SOURCE=4 SE110
To transmit one 5 minute average every hour, change the RATE from 00:05:00 to
01:00:00.
Edit the files on the panasonic, so you can easily install them on a station.
When you're out at a station, eject the PCMCIA card, put it in the panasonic,
and do
config_to_pccard N
where N is the station number
Then insert it back into EVE, and do:
EVE> entersys
system> del goesid.dat
system> reboot

1. I think I forgot to connect a copper ground wire to replace the ground
strap that I removed. We should do this before the next electrical storm.
2. I seem to recall seeing that the battery voltage was low. This might be
a mis-seated AD0 connector on the EVEAD (they are hard to align!) I should
have checked this as well.

- 177: GOES, Site , Sat 01-Jun-2002 21:49:48 CDT, NESDIS problems
Here is my comment:
GOES data were not available for the last 24 hours until late today, and only
about a 20-hour buffer was retrievable. Thus, we lost about 4 hours of GOES
data from about 13-17CDT yesterday (5/31). The data from s1-3 should be on
the Panasonic by now, and we will download the /cards at s4-6 tomorrow, so
all of the data should be available by this time tomorrow.
Here is more from Gordon:
Something was wrong with the NOAA NESDIS systems, and we were
not able to fetch our data from the GOES ground systems from 14:00 CDT
May 31 up to now, the morning of June 1.
However the last fetch did finally work, and [all but 4 hours of] the missing
data should be filled in. So, the web plots should be back in shape
by 10:00 CDT this morning.

- 172: Status, Site , Fri 31-May-2002 22:42:56 CDT, Daily Status
Abbreviated status late Friday, May 31:
The ISFF crew (Oncley & Delany) will be in transit to stations 1-3 tomorrow
and plan to return Sunday. If Sunday's report is missing, it won't be because
we're loafing!
Visits on Friday (a full day!):
- s6: clean krypton, download data, check GOES interference, turn off GOES
- s5: verified that GOES transmitter was switched off
- s4: download data, check GOES interference, fixed krypton interference,
turn off GOES
- s7: download data, check GOES interference, fixed GOES interference!!
- s8: download data (both), check GOES interference, fixed GOES interference,
fixed bad radiometer fan, replaced prop assembly
Anomolies:
GOES transmission from s4-6 are now turned off and will remain this way until
Sunday or Monday. This is intentional to avoid interference of the analog
data (specifically krypton hygrometer and surface temperature) by the GOES
data transmitter. ALL DATA CONTINUE TO BE ARCHIVED ON SITE, so no data should
be lost.
We now know the fix for this problem -- better shielding in our data system
boxes -- and have implemented this fix on s7&8. Thus, GOES data from s8 should
now be back. (Though I see that reception of GOES data in Boulder died this
afternoon.) We will apply this fix at s1-3 tomorrow.
We know of a bad radiometer for outgoing visible radiation at s1 which is
probably a cable problem. We also know that the incoming infrared radiation
at s2 is odd at times. We plan to work on both of these problems tomorrow.
We know that water vapor fluxes reported at least at s7-9, are low. Our best
guess is a problem with the calibrations being used for these sensors. This
is our second-highest priority and will be our highest by Monday.
We have an ongoing problem with noise on the soil moisture profile sensors,
despite the efforts of many people. This is a low priority for us since
Richard Cuenca thinks that the data are still useful. Nevertheless, we will
try one more fix tomorrow, if we have time.

We got to s4 about 1216. I captured a lot of stuff onto file s4.020531.
During this time, we captured a GOES transmission with Tsfc, I think, then
turned the station off from about 1222-1229 while I put braid (ground strap)
around the krypton signal cable in the EVE box. Upon restarting, the serializer
didn't come up, but did after I disconnected and reconnected the DB9 on it.
I then captured the KH2O during a transmission -- a jump was not apparent,
but the krypton signal was highly variable.
Turned GOES off at 1238.
Saw the King-Air go by E-W about 1/2mi north about 1300, turn around, and come
back a few minutes later. Took several boring photos of it -- Tony thinks he
got a good one with our tower in the foreground.
Took a dirt clod sample at 1320 and left the site.
- 169: GOES, Site 5, Fri 31-May-2002 13:49:14 CDT, GOES was off at Site 5
We did a QUICK stop (1203-1205) at s5 and verified that I had left the GOES
transmitter (SE110) off. We left it off and did nothing else at this site.
- 168: Site_visit, Site 6, Fri 31-May-2002 11:33:35 CDT, GOES off at s6
We just finished a site visit to s6. (I'm writing this on aster on the road
to s4!) Since the King-Air is flying today 12:30-16:00 over the Central legs,
we decided to turn off all GOES transmitters from 4-6. (s5's we apparently
forgot to turn on at the end of yesterday, so it is already off.)
Our sequence was:
- 10:46 turned off GOES (SE120)
- a few minutes later decided to turn back on and log "jump"
- captured end of Tsfc jump -- not very apparent -- as "s6" (will rename later)
- had to reboot EVE and restart minicom since console locked up
- captured KH2O jump (not obvious, but large fluctuations) and next Tsfc jump
(160 counts = 16mV) as "s6.2"
- copied /card to Panasonic
- decided that krypton voltage was low (~150mV), so we cleaned by quickly
dropping the mast, cleaning ~11:00, and reraising. New value is ~320mV.
(We want good krypton data for today's flight.)
- 11:06 unplugged GOES again and headed off to s4.
Noted that TRH fan was okay and prop was spinning.

Graphic: | GOES interference
I just looked at the variation of the jumps from the high-rate data at s1&8
on 5/23. (The code is in ../S/jumpsort.q) The attached plot shows that the
variations in time can be large, and that the effect on each site and each
channel can be different. This is going to be a problem...
- 166: Site_visit, Site 4, Thu 30-May-2002 19:16:39 CDT, Site 4 visit
Arrived at 16:00.
There were oil-field workers doing things near the site.
The mast was not lowered.
The Kr was cleaned and signal improved from 150 mv to 460 mv
The TRH fan sounded OK as did the radstand multiplexer.
Following the procedure adapted at site 5 we removed the GOES DCP transmitter
and repositioned it outside and below the EVE box, with a tupperware cover.
Then we discovered that there still was GOES interference of 180 counts on Tsfc.
(Unfortunately we had not tested for noise before making the change)
We also captured the data from /card.
- 165: Site_visit, Site 5, Thu 30-May-2002 18:59:16 CDT, Site 5 visit
Arrived at site 5 at ~ 13:30 and began a series of test on the GOES interference
At 13:50 began data capture, at 13:58:20 stopped data capture. This to record
the Tsfc and KH2O steps during a GOES transmission. This file saved to
captures/s5.020530.
At 14:05 dropped mast and cleaned the Kr windows.
The signal increased (only) from 900 to 940 mV. This like a good
level, but the dailyplots show bad data. Hopefully, it is just a connector
problem (though Gordon and Tom had looked at this before.)
At 14:15 demounted the Kr #1392 and replaced it with Kr # 1101. This Kr sensor
had been brought into the base and had had the obvious corrosion inside the
electronics box removed and fresh silica gel in a cloth bag included. The
electronics box was also better sealed.
The signal changed Kr #1392 900mv to Kr # 1101 300 mv ( a decrease but hopefully
a more stable sensor).
The TRH fan sounded fine, the Rad stand multiplexer sounded fine and the
propvane spun with no noise. The ports in the mast had already been duct taped and so it was assumed that the Y cable had been inspected.
The GOES tests result:
noise even when Yagi deployed 10 m away
noise even with a dummy load
reduction of noise on Tsfc from 250 counts to 15 counts when GOES transmitter
box outside the Eve box
As a result we rigged the cables out through a hole in the bottom of the box
and placed the GOES box atop a battery box with a tupper ware cover.
We also captured the data from /card.
P.S. GOES data have stopped from this site. We may have left the switch on the
transmitter off. We'll have to run out again -- I don't think now, since it
is late and Tony has left. We'll plan on a run tomorrow -- they're planning on
flying this area anyway!

- 163: Status, Site , Wed 29-May-2002 23:44:02 CDT, thoughts about GOES problem
After talking with Steve Semmer, Tom, and Gordon today, there were several
thoughts:
Gordon: The error should be quantified, even if we fix it, for historical
purposes.
a. This can be done manually (tedious and error prone)
b. This can be done using mincom.cap (not all samples on serializer)
c. This could be done using the "spare" SDR unit, but would have to
at least slightly modify the station config to enable the SDR
(using an unused port 5?)
d. We should look at the high-rate data from s1 and s8 to see if the
error is constant, constant for each station, or varies with time.
e. If it depends on the position of the antenna, only option "b" is
available now for s7 [and I'll have to put the minicom.cap file
someplace!]
Steve: Since the problem goes away with the dummy RF load, it may be possible to
eliminate the problem by relocating the antenna (using a longer RF cable
which Steve doesn't think will be a problem) and/or by changing back to
the yagi antennae (we should have a complete set of spares)
Tom: The error in a flux due to a step change theoretically is zero. (He says
I should work it out myself.)
Me: Although I agree with all of the above, especially Steve's idea that the
problem should be fixed, rather than worked around, I still think that
figuring out a new configuration that transmits a short message only every
hour would be useful -- especially if it takes a while to track down the
correct solution. On the other hand, it would only take one more visit back
to s7 to try our best solution (a yagi far away).
- 162: Site_visit, Site 8, Wed 29-May-2002 23:28:05 CDT, Site 8 visit
We also hit s8 today, after s7 (approx 1600-1840) and did lots of things:
- We discovered the ventilator fan on LW.out was dead. Checked it was fan and
not the power by swapping power with LW.in.
- We checked the gas cylinder pressures of Scott's CO2 system
In order from the west (could not view all writing on cylinders):
Site 8/4, 415.1 ppmv 2000 psi/8 psi
Site 8/1, capped
Site 8/3 2150 psi/8 psi
Nitrogen 850 psi/4.5 psi
Site 8/2, 355.8 ppmv 2000 psi/8 psi
- We lowered the mast about 1700-1830. During this time, we:
- cleaned the krypton
- noted that the prop was stuck with dirty bearings. We unscrewed the
prop end and sprayed with contact cleaner which got the shaft running
much better, though there still is a grinding noise
- examined the Y junction in the S-bus cable and decided it was okay.
We taped most of the holes with duct tape anyway.
- We disconnected power to the GOES transmitter and left it off. (After
verifying that the A/D problem still was present, though only about 70
counts here.)
- We tightened all the CR10x screws -- some were loose.
- We tightened all the screws in the soil profile box -- many weren't tight.
(after labeling the Echo probe wires, so we could put it back together)
- We disconnected 229 heating for a while to see if heating is causing the
noise. This was a bad test, I think, since the 229 output went offscale
and became 9999. (I don't understand why!)
- We connected all the 229 shields directly to power supply ground.
- We downloaded /card (twice!) (to examine the 229 data)
- We swapped the microdrive disk (replaced 2 with 5)
Tony found a tick crawling on the Eve box. Steve killed it.
Upon returning to the base, we did a "save_metppf" to get the data to Boulder.
This script died during the rsync to linus, so I repeated the last 2 steps
manually from ASTER.
P.S. The data seem to show no effect of the shield wire change or the screw
tightening efforts.
For next visit we need to take a radiometer ventilator fan and a propvane
- 161: Site_visit, Site 7, Wed 29-May-2002 23:19:08 CDT, Site 7 visit
We did several things at site 7. Our primary reason for the visit was to see
if the glitch in the analog channels seen in the high-rate data at s8 also
occurred at non-supersites. Using "sbusdebug" to watch Tsfc voltages, it was
obvious that the glitch does occur here. The counts = 0.1mV changed by ~250
when the GOES transmitter was on. I captured a bit of this on the Panasonic
using minicom (this file is now in $PAM/projects/IHOP02/captures/s7.020529).
We further found out
by attaching the dummy RF load that this problem disappears. Thus, it is an
RF interference problem. We moved the antenna from the SW to E leg of the
tripod, but this didn't appear to work. (Note that we left it in this position
which is rather close to the sonic.) During the process, I rebooted a few
times and even powered-off the station once. Note that the /card data should
recover much of the data while the GOES was off.
We left the station with GOES back running and the antenna near the sonic.
During all of this, an EVE error started appearing: "Illegal Address, 21 ticks".
Since all of the data channels appeared to be working, we ignored this.
Also, it seemed to me that the CR10x data didn't get started after one of the
reboots, so I used "lineon 2"; "lineoff 2" to get it going again. I'm assuming
that this really wasn't necessary.
- 160: Radiation, Site 1, Wed 29-May-2002 12:39:07 CDT, screws tightened
Josh just called to let us know that he is at site 1 and has just tightened all the terminal block screws in our logger box. He said that two "purple wires"
were at bit loose. We'll have to see if this improves the Rsw.out data.
P.S. The data from Rsw.out is even worse now. Thus, this fix did not work. The
next step apparently is to swap out radiometers. (We brought spares with us,
but might not have calibrations for them -- I'll have to check this.)

Did a solder & tape repair of the broken cable in profile 9 at site 9,
May 25, 19:30 - 20:00 CDT. I haven't mastered soldering while kneeling
in the mud - so don't expect a beautiful repair.
This is the cable that was apparently broken by an inquisitive cow
before the electric fence was installed. There are several cables
exposed, about 5 feet from the electronics box for profile 9. The only
obvious damage there was a broken black 3 wire cable with
black, red, and shield conductors.
Had to splice in a 1 inch piece of wire on the red conductor.
From the data, it appears that this cable is the ECH2O probe at level 1,
Qsp.l1.p9, since that signal jumps into better agreement with
the others at 20:00 CDT.

-Site 3 PAM station radiometers cleaned with 'kim wipes' at 1315 - domes
intact, net radiometer level, and all domes relatively free from debris
though some dust was on surface.
-CU flux station (for site 10) placed at site 3 for cross calibration
approximately 35 m WSW (221 degrees) of the site 3 PAM station (elevation
of CU station placement approximately 1m lower elevation than site 3
PAM station).
-The sonic anemometer and krypton hygrometer on the CU flux station
oriented to face true north per the instruction of Dr. Blanken. However,
since the dominant winds in the region are from the south, when the
tower is relocated to Site 10 these instruments will be oriented facing
east. The pyrometer and net radiometer are facing south and the IR
thermometer is monitoring surface temperature to the southeast of
the tower.
- The soil measurements associated with the CU flux station are taken
such that the CS615 probes collect soil moisture content at 5, 7.5, and
15cm; the pair of soil heat flux plates are placed on either side of the
CS615s at a distance of 10cm from center and at a depth of 5cm; the soil
temperature probe (not functional) is placed directly above the column
of CS615 at a depth 2.5cm. The entire collection of sensors is located to
the south west of the tower just outside the view of the net radiometer.
-CU flux station soil temperature sensor not functional due to missing
resistor.

- 117: Power, Site 1, Wed 22-May-2002 19:41:53 CDT, Added power supply & battery
This site had one 12V power supply for all systems:
EVE & sensors, CO2 pumps, valves and CO2 data system.
Since we're seeing low voltage at the campbell boxes (11.2V) at this
site (and site 8) we'll try adding a power supply and see if that
helps the soil profiles.
A white 4x8x3 inch power supply (5A?), is in a cooler at
the mast along with a battery.
EVE, power supply and the battery are all wired in
parallel, using a multi-branch power cable.
An extension cord runs back to the chem shelter.
We're using the outlet on the transformer that the chem shelter
air conditioner was on. The air conditioner is now off - Kurt
doesn't think it is necessary to cool the transformer.
Bring an outlet strip if you want to power up the AC.
This switch was possible without powering down the CO2 system.
Finished at about 18:00 CDT.
We're now seeing 13.8V at EVE and 13.2 at the campbell boxes.
- 116: Fast_KH2O, Site 1, Wed 22-May-2002 19:36:32 CDT, Cleaned kh2o sensor at site 1
May 22
Tom opened up kryton box (SN 1395), cleaned connections on
power/analog-out connector with contact cleaner.
This one had oxidation, but no loose chunks like several others.
Cleaned head with distilled water & Qtip at approx 16:50 CDT

old: EVE 4/21/02 6047
new IHOP02 5/14/02 0xA7BA
Downloaded slow data.
Removed microdrive #2
Inserted #3.
Left #1 and #6 inside EVE box.
Krypton had slight oxidation, see entry 116
Voltage at soil profile multiplexer and campbell logger: 11.2V
Installed new power supply & battery, see entry #117, which brought
voltage up to 13.2V at Campbell boxes, and 13.8V at EVE.
Nitrogen: 425 PSI (Scott called and will try to have that cylinder
replaced this weekend).
Left around 18:30
- 114: Fast_KH2O, Site 2, Wed 22-May-2002 19:22:42 CDT, Cleaned kh2o at site 2
Tom opened up the krypton box at site 2, S/N 1133.
Connections inside were in good shape - no oxidation.
Fastened it back up without new sealant.
Cleaned head (distilled water and Qtip) sometime between
15:40 and 16:00 CDT

May 22, approx 14:20 CDT
Tom opened up kryton box (SN 1389), cleaned inside connections on
power/analog-out connector with contact cleaner.
Removed a chunk of oxidation between +12V and ground lugs.
Sealed with seal&peel.
Cleaned head with distilled water & Qtip
- 111: Site_visit, Site 3, Wed 22-May-2002 19:00:34 CDT, Site 3 visit

Installed new EVE eprom (won't print console message on non-zero CSAT diags)
old: EVE 4/21/02 6047
new: IHOP02 5/14/02 0xA7BA
Note: this station does not have anything connected to the PULSE
port on the VME front panel. Is that right? The Profile
variable is cycling through its values 0-2. The logger must be
doing it itself?
On power up, the 5A main fuse on the front panel blew. Relaced it
and next power-up was successful.
Downloaded slow data
Voltage at soil profile multiplexer and logger: 13.6 V
Tom opened up and cleaned krypton box: see entry 112.

- 97: Sonics, Site 6, Sun 19-May-2002 10:14:45 CDT, Sonic saga at station 6
Someone requested several days ago that a zero calibration should
be done on the sonic at site 6, which is NUW#5.
After returning to site 6, May 18th, and installing the fixed krypton we
tried to do the zero calibration.
Swapped in serial cable within EVE to bypass serializer.
Blue styrofoam zero-wind chamber on the transducer axis aligned
with U.
talked to UW, sonic, requested a calibration from menu, selected U axis.
Did not have an exact temp and RH, so we entered a guess for the
first time through. Sonic answered that it was performing
the calibration, followed by series of dots ........
It never returned to a prompt. After several minutes we powered
it down and back up. On power up it would then only report:
Bad factory checksum!
Bad user checksum!
We returned to the base and brought back the "known state" cable for ATI
sonics. We powered up the sonic several times with the known-state wire
shorted to the ground wire, but each time the sonic only reported
the same bad checksums. We also tried connecting known-state to ground
while it was powered up, still no response. Did not try grounding
the reset pin.
So we then installed a K probe, 980202. The krypton head is oriented
horizontally.
Mast back up at 19:00
- 96: Fast_KH2O, Site 5, Sat 18-May-2002 15:11:16 CDT, Cleaned kh2o sensor at station 6
Gordon cleaned the windows on the kh2o sensor head and I opened the
electronics box to clean the internal connectors on the bulkhead
power connector. The latter were heavily corroded.
We returned to the base where Gordon repaired a broken internal connector
on the red (power) wire. He sealed the box and connectors with Peel
and Seal.
- 95: Site_visit, Site 6, Sat 18-May-2002 15:07:54 CDT, Site 6 visit
Gordon and Tom visted site 6 13:50 - 19:10 CDT, May 18, including two
trips back to Wichita base.
We cleaned the kh2o head and the power connector inside the electonics
box, checked the clock, and downloaded the local data storage.
We returned to the base, leaving the mast down, in order to repair
a broken connector inside the kh2o electronics and again to get a
cable needed to zero the NUW sonic.
See entry #97 about the attempted zeroing of the NUW#5 sonic, and
the eventual replacement with a K probe #980202.
Measured the power voltage at the campbell logger and multiplexer: 12.8 V.
The mast was down from 13:55 - 19:00 CDT.
Talked with Ken Andra at site.
- 94: Fast_KH2O, Site 5, Sat 18-May-2002 15:04:51 CDT, Cleaned kh2o sensor at station 5
I cleaned the windows on the kh2o sensor head and opened the electronics
box to clean the internal connectors on the bulkhead power connector.
The latter were heavily corroded. I sealed the box with Peel and Seal.
- 93: Site_visit, Site 5, Sat 18-May-2002 14:59:35 CDT, Site 5 visit
Gordon and Tom visted site 5 11:00 - 12:00 CDT, May 18.
We cleaned the kh2o head and the power connector inside the electonics
box, reset the clock (from 2 sec fast to 1 sec slow), and downloaded
the local data storage.
Gordon sealed the Y in the Sbus cable with splicing tape and Peel
and Seal. He also filed the inside of the TRH boom and remounted
the TRH inside the boom.
The mast was down from 11:10 - 11:50 CDT.
- 92: EVE, Site 4, Sat 18-May-2002 14:55:53 CDT, Swapped prom in EVE
Gordon swapped the prom in EVE. He replaced EVE 4/19/02 4FC6 with
IHOP02 5/14/02 0xA7BA.
He also checked the clock, which had only a 1 sec error compared to
the GPS time.
Rebooted at 10:27 CDT.
Power variables look okay.
- 91: Fast_KH2O, Site 4, Sat 18-May-2002 14:52:50 CDT, Cleaned kh2o sensor at station 4
I cleaned the windows on the kh2o sensor head and opened the electronics
box to clean the internal connectors on the bulkhead power connector.
The latter were heavily corroded. I sealed the box with Peel and Seal.
After cleaning the kh2o, the output was 1.3 V; back on at 10:36 CDT.

- 86: Soil, Site 8, Thu 16-May-2002 14:15:22 MDT, Checked Soil profile connections at 8
We checked the connections from the CONXALL connector inside the
logger and soil profile multiplexer boxes.
Multiplexer: all connections from CONXALL were OK.
Measured less than 1mV between ground and AG.
Logger: looked OK. Saw 11.5 V at power connector. Is this sufficient?
Also measured < 1mV between ground and AG.
- 85: EVE, Site 8, Thu 16-May-2002 14:10:01 MDT, Swapped microdrive (again) at station 8
To be sure new SDR configuration is working, we swapped microdrives
at 8. Josh was out there and did it for us:
Removed #1, inserted #5.
- 84: EVE, Site 8, Thu 16-May-2002 13:35:28 MDT, Procedure to swap microdrive in SDR
The SDR (serial data recorder) is in the EVE VME cage, the card
with a yellow button and 4 LEDs:
top LED: fault
received data
recording
bottom: power
Eject button is right above the microdrive.
When you arrive, the power and recording lights should be solid on,
and the received data flickering.
1. Press the yellow button, recording light should go out.
2. Press black eject button. Remove microdrive
3. Insert empty microdrive until eject button is flush with side of
card. Note number (1-6) of microdrive.
4. Press yellow button. Recording light should go on <-- important.
5. Close and secure the EVE door. Don't pinch any cables
when you close it.
That's it! You've done your work for today. Drive 200 miles back
to Wichita.
If you have the panasonic notebook, you can check the contents of
the drive you removed:
put microdrive in PCMCIA adaptor
insert adaptor in either PCMCIA slot
do the following from a shell window
mount /mnt/pccard
ls -l /mnt/pccard
umount /mnt/pccard
- 83: CO2, Site 8, Thu 16-May-2002 13:20:46 MDT, CO2 statistics
From EVE menu, displayed the FASTSAVE message to see the CO2 statistics:
co2mr: 454.6
u'co2mr': -0.283
v'co2mr': 0.06577
w'co2mr': 0.01845
co2mr'co2mr': 2.511
Saw exactly these same values in the netcdf file for May 15 17:27:30 CDT.
So it appears the statistics are being sent over GOES correctly.
- 82: EVE, Site 8, Thu 16-May-2002 13:10:14 MDT, Changed microdrive at stn 8
Swapped microdrives at 8.
Removed #6 XHA78295 99B
Inserted #1 XHAV9598 09D
Left #5 (XHA76012 99B) in eve box. It is empty and ready to use.
File sizes at site 8: 14.1 Mbyte/8 hours = 42.3 Mbyte/day
This is like station 1 (see entry #71), a 358 Mbyte
microdrive should take a week's data.
See entry #80 about the barometer & SDR. The SDR at station 8 is
not being commanded from EVE and will be doing its own file
opening/closing, with the period set to 8 hours.
- 81: GOES, Site 8, Thu 16-May-2002 12:44:35 MDT, GOES at 8
GOES at 8 has been showing low modulation and fair data quality with
some periods of constantly < 3 good checksums (May 14 21:00 - May 15 02:00)
Transmitter: SE120, SN 3515.
Measured output: 12W forward, 1/2 W back.
The antenna is pointing at 146 deg azimuth, which according to John is
correct. Did not measure the elevation angle.
A one point I connected the GOES power plug to the wrong connector
on the front panel, and the transmitter wasn't reponding. Talked
to John later - he said those other power plugs have 1 amp fuses,
and I probably blew its fuse, since GOES draws more than 1 amp during
transmissions. The GOES power connector has a hidden label, and is the
one without a fuse.
Once it was on the right power plug it worked again.
Result - no changes were made to GOES, and as of May 16 it is still
showing low modulation and fair data quality - but checksums look
about as good as any other site.
- 80: Barometer, Site 8, Thu 16-May-2002 12:35:04 MDT, barometer at stn8
During site visit of May 15.
Barometer at 8 has been out, since set-up I believe.
We added a 9 pin gender-changer in order to connect it to the sbus.
It interfered with the sbus - no other sensors would respond after
it was connected. Tried resetting the bus - no luck.
Resorted to the backup scheme of putting the barometer on tyCo/5,
and removing the SDR command link.
Changed the SDR file close from "NO" to 28800 seconds (8 hours). So
now the SDR files will be managed by the SDR itself, not EVE.
Updated fmt0124.dat and installed it on EVE.
Barometer is reporting.
- 79: Site_visit, Site 8, Thu 16-May-2002 10:58:05 CDT, Site 8 visit
Visited site 8 on May 16, to fix barometer, get fast & slow data,
and check GOES.
See entries 80,81,82
- 78: Soil, Site 9, Thu 16-May-2002 10:32:59 CDT, Checked Soil profile connections
Per Steve Semmer's suggestion, checked soil profile connections in the
logger and AM16/32 multiplexers at site 9.
We checked the connections from the CONXALL connector inside the
logger and profile multiplexes boxes.. Steve wants to make sure
the power ground (pin 3 on CONXALL) and AG (analog ground?, pin 4)
were separate connections.
Profile #8: all connections from CONXALL were OK.
Banana plug connector for H2O #4 was disconnected - they come apart
easily.
Measured 9mV between ground and AG.
Profile #9: CONXALL connections OK. 9mV between grounds.
Profile #13: CONXALL connections OK. 9mV between grounds.
Reconnected banana plug connection for H2O #5.
Logger: likewise ok. 9mV between ground and AGs.

Arrived 17:30, CDT
Prop vane reporting constant wind direction, -99
Prop PO command reported jibberish.
TRH out.
Replaced TRH 104 with 704. 704 reported data.
Removing TRH was difficult, needs crossarm expansion fix
TRH704 is lashed under cross arm rather than inserted in end
TRH cable was dripping water. Water in TRH connector.
Removed end cap of TRH housing, electronics were dry.
Somehow water is coming down within cable inside of
mast or is a result of condensation. Shook water
drops from cable repeatedly, until, by end
of visit, cable was not dripping as much.
Tested #104 after blowing water out of connector.
#104 works, but left 704 in.
After these fixes, prop starting working - so it appears
the prop vane's problem was due to water in the sbus
cable.
Lowered mast to check for source of water entry, found
nothing obvious. Did not remove cable from mast. Raised mast.
From the sonic w and prop Spd data it appears the mast was lowered
at about 18:10 CDT and raised at 18:55.
Note (7/17/02): Looks more like 1815 - 1850 CDT. TWH
Shot angles with KVH data scope. See entries #75,76

E-29136 PYGIN 02 259.50 corrected to 230.95
E-26226 PSPIN 04 80.257 corrected to 118.20
correction was done May 12, during the site visit, sometime between
12:50 and 13:50. From a plot of Rsw.in, I'd guess that the
change happened sometime during the break in the data from 13:00 to 13:30 CDT
7/29/02: Logger coefficients at locations 51 and 53 were the correct
values at the end of the project, suggesting that these were also
changed on May 12. See logbook entry 16. TWH

Drove to ISS site, and back to stn1 with Bill Brown.
Showed Bill how to swap microdrives.
The archive at stn1 is 40 Mbyte/day, so we can get
a week on a 340 Mbyte microdrive. Asked Bill to
do the swap on Saturdays

- 69: Sonics, Site 9, Thu 16-May-2002 09:17:29 CDT, Replaced sonic at site 9
The ATI-K sonic at site 9 (980302) was not operating. Gordon and I
replaced it with 980303 (in a 20 m/sec wind!)
Mast lowered at 19:25 GMT, raised at 20:00.
Times based on looking at Tsfc, after the visit.
Because something caused the fuse to blow yesterday we checked
current loads to the ATI and krypton, using John's white cable:
ATI 980303: 4-5 mA
krypton 1394: 26 mA
On May 16, in the lab, measured current draw of the following:
krypton 1101: 10.5 mA
ATI 980302: 0 mA (It's dead Jim)
ATI 980202: 80 mA

- 65: Sonics, Site 9, Wed 15-May-2002 09:59:32 CDT, Replaced sonic at station 9
NUW sonic at station 9 (B-NUW7-C) has been intermittent; since the
u,w,tc data go bad but v looks okay, it appears to be a problem in
path a. The problem often appears to be triggered by a site visit
and lowering and raising the mast.
The new sonic at station is ATIK 980302 (#2).
The mast was lowered at 4:45 pm CDT and raised at 7:05 pm.

the kh2o. I cleaned the radiometers and Gordon downloaded the local
data storage.
- 62: Fast_KH2O, Site 9, Tue 14-May-2002 09:16:35 CDT, kh2o at station 9
Gordon and I visited site 9 late yesterday afternoon to replace the
krypton fast h2o sensor. We were unsuccessful, since both the old
kh2o (1394) and replacement (1101) appeared to not be working. We
brought both kh2o sensors back to the base.
In the process, we lowered and raised the mast twice. It was down
from ?? to 1855 CDT and again from 1922 - 2022 CDT.
Note (7/17/02): From w'w', it appears that the mast was first lowered
at 1825 CDT. TWH
Note(7/19/02): At the base, Gordon repaired coax connector on central
cable of 1101 and reinforced with black splicing tape. Tom purchased
Seal&Peal on 5/14 (2:11 pm) to seal kh2o boxes. TWH

Site 1 visit, May 11 John and Gordon
Lowered mast to swap everest.
Swapped in new everest, no change. Tried new cable, no change.
Problem of bad Tsfc was actually the slow ad. It was running,
but all quantities, Tsfc, Plicor, Tlicor, Qlicor were constant,
bad values.
After cycling power on slow ad the data came back. Will
watch it tonight and perhaps swap in a new a/d tomorrow
morning.

- 49: Prop_Vane, Site 6, Sat 11-May-2002 16:56:15 CDT, Recalibrated prop vane direction encoder
The wind direction at site 6 was stuck at ~ 260 degrees. This was
fixed around 1830 GMT by recalibrating the prop vane direction encoder.
It appears from the sonic data that the mast was lowered
from 18:15 - 18:30 GMT, May 11.
- 48: Radiation, Site 5, Sat 11-May-2002 16:50:39 CDT, Changed radiometer coefficient at station 5
Compared logger coefficients at Site 5 to those listed in logbook entry 18.
Those for PYGIN and PSPIN were incorrect and were changed as follows
Sensor Logger coefficient Old New
PYGIN 02 & 51 259.5 286.533
PYGOUT 04 & 53 80.257 110.254
It appears that this change was made around 1945 GMT, since the logger
data quit at that time. SRS suspects that he forgot to restart the
logger after talking with it via the console port.
5/12/02, 3:50 pm CDT:
Steve returned to the site last night at restarted the logger. TWH
Note (7/16/02): Logger coefficient 04 corresponds to PSPIN and site 5
only had incoming radiometers, so the entries in the table above most

- 44: Radiation, Site 9, Sat 11-May-2002 08:47:04 CDT, Changed PSP in/out and PYG out coefficients
Rsw.in/out have been reading high, so we checked the coefficients
in the logger program.
The coefficients for PYGOUT, PSPIN and PSPOUT did not agree
with the correct values - see logbook entry #22. We changed
the following coefficients to their new values, at about 15:30 CDT, May 10.

PYGIN 259.5 259.605
PYGOUT 259.5 280.859
PSPIN 80.257 44.053
PSPOUT 80.256 51.177
Checked other coefficients from Q7 down to A0 of Tsoil, and
all were correct.
Note that we did not change the second values for the PYG and PSPs that
are used in the shading program.

Finished setting up site one. John found a faulty
barometer that was causing problems on the SBUS.
Kurt had to make some mechanical changes to the tripod
in order for the wench tool to work correctly.
He also took care of the AC power.
The radiation stand was moved from its original
placement yesterday. It was moved ~7 meters to the
west. It is now overlooking plowed soil. The profile
boxes are to the east. Profile 2, box 5, is due east ~8
meters. Profile 0, box 11, is northeast ~3 meters. Profile
1, box 7, is southeast ~3 meters. Time was spent shoveling the
soil near the darkhorse to get it representative of the
site. It is recommended that the same thing be done to the
remaining soil around the profile boxes.
The rain gauge was installed in the middle of the triangle
created by the profile boxes.

We had to make a few changes to the layout at site 2.
(1) The angle from the tripod to the rad stand is 230 degrees. At 240
degrees, the mast in a down position was close to the dark horse so we
moved the dark horse more toward the south.
(2) The rain gauge, due to cable length, is about 2 meters due east of
the profile box.
(3) The profile box is 4 meters due NNW, 335 degrees, of the west leg
of the dark horse.

- 13: EVE, Site none, Wed 24-Apr-2002 18:08:47 MDT, Serializer / SlowAD VDC Check
Serializer and SlowAD were checked against a 'dial-a-volt' reference
for consistency.
Reference: 2.3995 (based on 4.5 digit dvm. output varied slightly
between boards from about 2.3993 to 2.3998)
A/D Values reported are nominal of what was observed.
A/D Consistency: The 4 channels on each pmb-ad board were consistent within a
few counts between the channels and between readings.
Serializer Values: The measurement was that reported by EVE after scaling of
the raw readings. These include the divide-by-2 cable used
to scale the krypton voltage and represent mV.
Note that for every unit, the nominal values shown had
noise of about "1" mV total during the brief test.
Serial Numbers: Dash numbers represent the residual reference voltage reading
taken by Steve Oncley used in adjusting the output.
For example"-07" represents 2.5007, "-93" represents 2.4993.
PMB boards were tagged "A1" and "S1", etc.

Note 1) Station 1 was sitting in the cal-lab adjacent to the running
co2 system. There was quite a bit of noise on the a/d counts
while taking the readings inside to box there. The readings were
roughly 23740/23770 and were changing by up to 100. The readings
shown above were taken in a different box in a different location
and the a/d counts were extremely consistent. I did not repeat
the testing to determine whether the noise was endemic to station
1's box or not. Note that the readings for station 8 were taken
in the same location.

- 8: Sonics, Site , Fri 19-Apr-2002 12:04:10 MDT, Configuration of ATI K-probes
I configured the ATI-K sonics today with shadow correction turned on
and an assumed error of 0 from 90-70 degrees and an assumed error of
20% for 0 degrees (wind parallel to path). They were also configured
to average 10 pulses per output or a data rate of 20 Hz (200 Hz
pulse rate).
This was done for serial numbers

S/N 980505 had a bad v axis.
- 7: Fast_KH2O, Site all, Wed 17-Apr-2002 10:02:04 MDT, Krypton hygrometer locations/mounting
At this time we have 6 functioning kryptons. The other 4 have been
sent to CSI for repair.
The plan is the put the 6 at sites 1-6. For simplicity
they're in serial number order:
Site Krypton S/N
1 1101
2 1133
3 1389
4 1390
5 1392
6 1397
When the others arrive
7 1391
8 1393
9 1394
spare 1395
If any krypton is not installed as above, or if the spare is swapped
in anywhere, then the EVE configuration must be changed for that station.
SteveS determined new calibration coefs for the 6 units. The new coefficients
have been entered into the EVE configs, so those 6 are good-to-go.
The krypton calibration files are in $PAM/config/calfiles/kryXXXXs.dat.
When a flash card is created for a station, one of the the
calfiles/kryXXXXs.dat is copied to krypton.dat, which is included
within config.dat.
(8/8/02) The krypton hygrometers were mounted on the sonic booms as
follows:
Place the KH2O sensors 30 cm behind the intersection of the paths
for the CSAT3 and ATI-NUW sonics.
For the CSAT3, mount the KH2O vertically below the boom.
For the ATI-NUW, mount the KH2O vertically north of the boom
Place the KH2O sensors 30 cm behind the vertical path for the
ATI-K sonics.
For the ATI-K, mount the KH2O horizontally below and up close to the
boom.

Index
Graphic: | simulated w'co2' computed on EVE and ASTER
EVE will be applying a fixed sample lag prior to computing
covariances between the sonic winds and the fast co2 data.
This is necessary because it takes a second or two for air to
travel down the tube from the sonic to the Licor.
Tony plans to estimate this lag by doing correlation vs lag
analysis of (the recently completed) FLOSS project data, and
scale the lag by the ratio of the tubing length at IHOP and
FLOSS (assumes that we can get approximately equal flow rates).
The CO2 lag time should be subtracted from the time tags of the
co2 samples,then re-match the CO2 samples against a buffer of sonic winds
before computing covariances.
The high-rate data is being saved on compact flash at the stations
with a CO2 sensor, so we can do correlation vs lag analysis on the
IHOP data, and apply corrected lags (possibly time-varying) for
the final dataset. Note that this won't occur in real-time - at best
a week later.
The pertinent EVE configuration lines are
(this example shows a lag of 2.5 secs):
SYNC: Sync20 20Hz
SONIC.U
SONIC.V
SONIC.W
SONIC.co2 DELAY=2.5
:
To check things, John created an EVE
config which created a co2 value equal to the sonic tc, then applied the
lag before computing the wind-co2 covariances. The high rate data was
also saved, and the data were passed through the ASTER covar process
and the results compared.
The attached plot of simulated w'co2'
computed on EVE and ASTER shows the agreement: w'tc'.s2a is the
ASTER covariance computed with a phase entry in prep.config of:
p=2.50 f=none d=(tc).s2a
I verified in the aster processing that the phase value is SUBTRACTED from
the time tags of the given variables. Since the data match quite closely
(and zero lags and lags of the reverse sign don't) we can assume that EVE
is also SUBTRACTING the above delay value to the time tags of the wind.
John has verified that in the EVE code.

- 2: Planning, Site all, Fri 04-Jan-2002 10:08:30 MST, Site layout considerations
IHOP layout of Flux-PAM mast, radiation stand, and solar panels
IHOP latitude ~ Oklahoma/Kansas border = 37 deg N.
Operation dates: May 1 - June 30
Need to place radiation stand and solar panels beyond shadow of
10m mast.
Daytime shadows extend north of sunrise/sunset azimuths + 180 deg.
Sunrise/sunset azimuths
-----------------------
Date 35 deg N latitude 40 deg N latitude
---- ----------------- -----------------
May 1 73/287 72/288
June 22 60/300 58/302
Thus okay to place radstand or solar panels south of 58/302 + 180 =
122-238 deg.
If radstand and mast are placed more than 8.5 m from the mast,
shadow of mast will not reach them for solar elevation > 50 deg.
Azimuth for solar elevation of 50 deg
-------------------------------------
Date 35 deg N latitude 40 deg N latitude
---- ----------------- -----------------
May 1 112/248 119/241
June 22 95/265 102/258
Thus okay to place radstand or solar panels north of 119/241 + 180 =
61-299 deg.
Conclusion
----------
Excluded azimuths for radstand and solar panels with respect to
the Flux-PAM mast are 61-122 degrees and 238-299 degrees,
roughly 30 degrees N&S of E&W.
Note that the rain gauge should if possible be placed north of the
radiation stand to avoid shading the ground under the radiometers.
