IHOP02: Site 3 Messages, 20 Entries..

06/24/02  11:50 - 12:15 Local

Purpose: Steve went to the west early today for the
	Final Trime Soil Measurement.

Cleaned RAD,kH2o

Trime measurements:
ISFF	6.1
P4	5.8

06/22 13:45-14:05 Local

SDR Test Stopped  See entry 265 for times.

Move_metppf

Left 'fastout' config running rather than stop/start

06/21 17:20-17:45 Local

Purpose: Install SDR
	Check RainGauge

Rain Gauge: It was OK, and level; ie no mice (but then again
	I'd bet there are many snakes guarding this site!)

SDR Test initiated: Shield On.  See entry 265 for times.

Site 3
06/19/02 07:35 - 08:15 Local, visit


The File System crashed last night at about 0Z.
This may have occured/begun when the ramdisk copy metppf
file to /card was attempted based upon examination of the
syslog file.  Same old symptom: file sizes = 0 and inability
to access them.  I didn't notice if the /card led light was
lit indicating that board had locked up causing this...

Otherwise the system kept running including GOES and continued to
write to metppf for some reason....strange.

Note:	'Reboot' did not recover this problem
	Apparently the take-down of the running processes locked
	up (fileout) and meanwhile the watchdog pulse task was
	still going preventing the w.d.board from doing the reset.
	'Reset' button on CPU did solve this problem.
	It was not necessary to power cycle the system.
	Change take-down task-delete the watchdog up-front.

From syslog:
06/19-00:00:00 0x14d218 (METPPF-Fil): ERROR:
	FileToCard: Can't create "/CARD/METPPF.169"
	       0x14d218 (METPPF-Fil): ERROR:
	File Stat Call - /RAMDISK/METPPF.165


POTENTIAL METPPF PROBLEM:
I didn't notice this when booting up after creating the
sdr-hr config file, but the additional spaced used for that may
have prevented eve from properly calculating and starting the main
metppf save process.
From syslog....

This problem may have also happened at 2, and at 6 when starting up
the SDR local storage.  I did put some safeguards in to force it to
write what it can, but maybe not in this case and I should be able
to determine that when visiting site 6 today.

Arrival: 1200
Departure: 1628
Conditions: Sunny, light SSW wind increasing to strong SSW wind as
day progressed
Observers: JA & JU

-Radiometers cleaned @ 1623

- Surface Characterization:

(i) Gravimetric soil core sample collected due west of the radiometer
sawhorses at the perimeter of the fence at 1620.

(iii) Trime measurements next to soil moisture profiler and soil core,
as well as along western and southern transects.

(iv) IR surface temperature distribution with vegetation height taken in
field of view of flux tower IR instrument, 4 samples taken at 2 different
times. IR surface temperature distribution with vegetation height also
taken along western and southern transects

(v) MSR readings taken along western and southern transects as well as
in field of view of Site 2 PAM flux tower IR instrument.

(vi) Porometry data collected along the western and southern
transects. Both of the dominant species, sage and "thorny bush", are
sampled. Note, final values can not be calculated until the actual LAI
is measure in the lab.

(vii) Photographs taken of 4 cardinal directions and along western and
southern transect  and of the dominant plants.

(viii) Digital photos taken of 4 cardinal directions and along western
and southern transect.

-Began disassembly of CU flux station after data download. Due to a
"hiccup" with the software the data was downloaded via laptop. This
appears to have reset the program as follow-up test downloads to the
SM4 storage module have proceeded as normal.

-Digital pictures of Site 3 four cardinal directions taken at ~1453

-Surface characterization transects selected:

(i) western transect beginning located 20m north and 20m west of solar
panel array (NW corner of fencer), extends for 20m and is marked by
orange flags every 5m

(ii) southern transect beginning located 20m south of flux tower cow
fencer directly south of net radiometer, extends 20m and is marked with
orange flags every 5m

2) Site 3: 5/11/02
Arrival: 1000
Departure: 1140
Conditions: partly cloudy, windy

-Soil heat flux sensor 1 connection loose, therefore no data logged for
that parameter for the preceding 24 hours.  Cause: loose wire, corrected
by Joe Alfieri

-Soil temperature probe 10 Ohm resistor installed, probe still not
functional.  Cause: 100 Ohm resistor required instead of 10 Ohm resistor
-> to be installed on 5/18/02 when CU flux station is moved to Site 10.

-CU flux tower net radiometer leveled, pyrometer leveled, and surface
IR temperature sensor knob adjusted 100% clockwise for proper adjustment
of emissivity of 1.

-Photographs taken of both Site 3 PAM flux station and CU flux station
as well as Site 3 landscape in 4 cardinal directions.

email recieved 5/25/02

1) Site 3: 5/10/02 
Arrival: 1015
Departure: 1600 
Conditions: heavy overcast, very windy

-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.

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

May 22  14:00CDT

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.

Left at 14:40 CDT  

checked logger coefficients at site 3

 two were wrong:
	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

Arrived 12:50, CDT

Attached eve box ground strap

downloaded metppfs to panasonic

cleaned radiometers

cleaned krypton: 
	before: 657 mV, 10.35 gm/m^3
	after:  779 mV,  9.45

checked logger coefficients, two were wrong, see entry #73

took trime soil moisture readings, 

TWH note (7/18/02): Gordon forgot to enter the Trime measurements in
the logbook.  Here they are from his field notes:

   %vol   TDR
   3.9    57
   2.7    59
   4.4    55

took photos of site, including CU flux station
left 13:50

Site 3 installed today.Here is some additional information
about the site.
Sonic serial number: 0536
Sonic height: 2.7 m
Sonic angle: 94 degrees
Krypton serial number: 13-489
Prop serial number: 00245
Prop angle: 185 degrees
Tsfc serial number: 357
TRH serial number: 004
profile box: 4
radiation height: 2.1 m

  The radiation stand is along a 230-240 degree angle from
the tripod. A 15m cable was used to get to a representative
site. The profile box along with the rain gauge are northeast
of the darkhorse between the tripod and darkhorse.
