- 323: LOG, Site 9, Wed 09-Oct-2002 08:46:47 MDT, Time error at station 9
I can't find any way to recover the missing data at station 9, on Jun 9.
I've added 5 hours to the time tags of all variables from 12:55 to 16:15 CDT,
so that they are now tagged as 17:55 to 21:15 CDT.
So now what we're missing is 12:45 to 17:50 CDT.

06/25/02 15:15-16:10
UW Discovered sampling at 10hz.
This is apparently the way it was and has been since getting
installed on 06/22 ~18:00
Decided to leave it at 10hz for the last day of the project
rather than further complicating the issue for post analysis.

- 312: Site_visit, Site 9, Wed 26-Jun-2002 08:29:20 CDT, Site 9 Visit: Final Trime sample, SDR "ShieldOff" start, PV removed
06/25/02 15:15 - 16:10 Local
Purpose: Final Trime Soil Measurement.
SDR 'Shield-Off' Test begun
Removed solar panels
SDR Test: See also entry #265 for more.
Tried to remove the shields with station still
running.....well duh...!
Blew main fuse with wire so station was down awhile.
Recovered, removed shields, downloaded
previous sdr data to panasonic.
15:45 began new test, sdr #3, st9_0625.dat
(it was using 24 hour cycling and looking good so stuck
with that naming.)
Trime measurements
ISFF 29.1(25), 29.1(26), 28.9(25), 29.0(26)

06/23/02 15:35-16:25 Local
Purpose: check Krypton mount, shoot boom angle, sdr start
Krypton: Steve wanted to make sure the mounting was correct.
It's exactly the same as at site 8: vertical orientation
on the north side of the UW aligned back from the sonic
sampling area, basically where the main support boom begins.
Alignments:
UW: 272.4 degrees looking towards the sonic/station
RMY: 184.0 degrees
Move_metppf done
SDR Started: see entry #265 for more.
NOTE I had quite a bit of trouble downloading/uploading
the modified config.dat using the flashdisk. Several
false file-system entries and a couple of bad file writes.
Could indicate a problem with the pcmcia drive of this
(new) 16mb flash.
- 296: Sonics, Site 9, Sun 23-Jun-2002 10:11:44 CDT, Sonic replaced at 9, jun22 17:30 - 18:45CDT
The K probe was replaced with a UW yesterday. The boom angle was
91 degrees, using a compass. This anle will be checked today with
the datascope.
- 295: Site_visit, Site 9, Sun 23-Jun-2002 10:05:53 CDT, Site 9 visit, Jun 22 17:30 - 18:45CDT
Visit to 9:
Replace K probe sonic with UW. Boom angle with compass: 91 degrees
The krypton was mounted on the north side in a vertical position.
It may need to be moved in toward the sonic boom. This will be checked today.
Cleaned the krypton and rad domes.
Install the SDR system. Did not start up because changes need to
be made to the config file and I did not have the information.
- 283: Site_visit, Site 9, Fri 21-Jun-2002 20:07:48 CDT, site 9 visit
A quick trip to 9 to install a new electric fence charger.
- 277: Site_visit, Site 9, Fri 21-Jun-2002 07:27:12 CDT, Site 9 visit, 6/20 13:45 - 14:45
I took a trip to 9 to do some repairs on the electric fence
and to replace the K probe sonic with a UW sonic.
The fence had lost some insulators. This caused the fence charger
to go bad. There was no visible cattle damage.
Unfortunately, the UW sonic was not fully assembled back in Boulder
so I was not able to install it.
I did find a nest with 4 mice in the rain gauge.
- 248: Site_visit, Site 9, Sat 15-Jun-2002 16:04:02 CDT, Site 9 visit
Walked in
Arrived 12:14
12:16 cleaned Kr
Cleaned domes, checked netrad level,
Sun shade test, captured to s9l.020615.
Note that the PSP values appear to
be a factor of 2 off for this station only. To be safe, I captured the entire
Mode 4 memory space and Mode 3 program into this same file. In normal logger
operation, the calibrated values looked okay.
Note, 7/23/02: This is consistent with logbook entry 44, Gordon did not
correct the PSP coefficients in the shading program. TWH
Departed 12:35
- 233: LOG, Site 9, Mon 10-Jun-2002 22:49:04 CDT, Bad s9 times
Yesterday, we reset the GOES and RTC clocks on stations 7-9. I must have done
something wrong (entered local time rather than GMT?) at 9, since the data from
yesterday from about 11-16 CDT appear to really be the data from 16-21 CDT
(5 hours different -- the difference between CDT and GMT).
The problem appears to have fixed itself at 21 CDT (02 Z).
9/30/02: As near as I can tell from the data, the time offset error
began at 12:45 CDT (17:45 GMT) June 9 and was correct after 21:20 CDT
(02:20 GMT, June 10). TWH

[This typed in 6 Jun for stuff done 5 Jun since I was too soggy yesterday.]
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!)
s8: 1630-1700 (walked in) had error downloading /card; DID NOT GRAB SDR

Dropped mast, cleaned Kr, checked Y cable and taped up all the ports on the mast
Checked/tightened rad stand multiplexer screws
For the three soil multiplexers, tightened screws and grounded common shields
Ventilator fan on downlooking K&Z not operating. Replaced with spare Nitec.
Then disconnected power to all ventilator fans.
Dropped mast for a second time and after trying the electronics and head of
1392, which had been taken from site 5 on 30 May, reinstalled the original Kr
1392 will be Fed Ex'd to Steve Semmer this evening
Tony checked the electric fence.
Departed at 12:58
- 140: Loggers, Site 9, Sun 26-May-2002 10:51:18 CDT, Tightened multiplexer terminal connections
During visit to site 9, we noted that Rsw, Rlw, Rnet, Tsoil, Gsoil
data all missing. Removed logger enclosure from radiation sawhorse to
replace multiplexer. Started to replace multiplexer and found some loose
terminal screws, in particular the L1 common terminal between the 6 and
7 groups of terminals. Tightened them and replaced logger on sawhorse.

Recorded soil profile data on independent data loggers for profiles
9 and 13.
Noted that Rsw, Rlw, Rnet, Tsoil, Gsoil data all missing. Removed logger
enclosure from radiation sawhorse to replace multiplexer. Started to
replace multiplexer and found some loose terminal screws, in particular
the L1 common terminal between the 6 and 7 groups of terminals.
Tightened them and replaced logger on sawhorse.
Gordon also repaired an exposed, broken wire on soil profile 9.
- 138: Soil, Site 9, Sun 26-May-2002 08:49:53 CDT, Repaired cable in profile 9
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.

TWH extracted the following from Josh Uebelherr and Joseph Alfieri
email recieved 5/25/02
6) Site 9: 5/16/02
Arrival: 1017
Departure: 1400
Conditions: heavy overcast, moderate SE winds
-Radiometers cleaned at 1318, relatively free of debris prior to cleaning
though some dust present
- One of the thin black wires leading to Profiler 9 found to have a cut
in the sheathing. The wire was repaired and flagged with electrical
tape. Additionally, one of the heavy black wires leading to profiler
9 was found to be severed and could not be repaired. - One of the
thin black wires leading to Profiler 8 was found to have a cut in the
sheathing. The wire was repaired and flagged with electrical tape.
-Surface characterization measurements taken:
(i) IR surface temperature distribution with vegetation height in field
of view of Site 9 flux station IR temperature instrument
(ii) IR surface temperature distribution with vegetation height in field
of view of Site 9 flux station IR temperature instrument; 4 samples
taken at two different times
(iii) Gravimetric soil core taken at 1122 approximately 5m west of
radiometer instrumentation just outside perimeter of 'cow fencer' next to
the fourth 'cow fencer' post from the right of the fencer entrance gate.
(iv) IR surface temperature distribution with vegetation height taken
on western transect every 5m for 20m including endpoints
(v) IR surface temperature distribution with vegetation height taken on
southern transect every 5m for 20m including endpoints
(vi) Leaf area index measured along the western transect every 5m for
20m including end points.
(vii) Leaf area index measure along the southern transect every 5m for
200m including the endpoints.
(viii) Trime measurements taken next to each of the soil profilers and
the site where the soil core was taken.
(ix) Trime measurements taken along the western transect every 5m for
20m including endpoints.
(x) Trime measurements taken along the southern transect every 5m for20m
including the endpoints.
(xi) Photographs of the site taken in each of the cardinal directions;
additional images of selected vegetation taken.

- 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.
- 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
- 66: Fast_KH2O, Site 9, Wed 15-May-2002 10:04:42 CDT, Installed fast kh20 hygrometer
Installed kh2o s/n 1394. I previously installed s/n 1101, but it appears
to have blown the main power fuse in EVE.
Need to change the EVE config to have the correct calibration for 1394.
Current configuration is for 1101(?)
- 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.
- 63: Site_visit, Site 9, Tue 14-May-2002 09:26:10 CDT, Site 9 visit
Gordon and I visited site 9 from about 1830 - 2030 CDT to work on
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
- 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.
old new
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.
7/29/02: The post-project values of the logger coefficients in the
shading program were
51 +259.50
52 +0.0000
53 +80.257
54 +0.0000
