+++++++++++++++++++++++

WEATHER:  breezy (15-20 mph) with occasional stronger gusts. Hot and
dry, with high overcast throughout the day, clearing in the evening,
low-level jet set up around 200-300 m. Then, we had another BORE
event just after 1100 UTC. 

IOP:  BL Evolution

SONDES: 0900, 1100*, 1300, 1500, 1700, 1900, 2000 UTC. (* sonde data
did not transfer to skew-t plot.)

MAPR: several sondes show up on MAPR as a positive vertical velocity.
Had some problems with maprdisplay operating in wind_rass mode today.
Lost 2 hours of data because of this failure. Finally changed to wind_only
mode. Ran in Rass-only mode for 1 hour starting at 2100 UTC.

Bore shows up very well on MAPR around 11 UTC.

Performed backups.

SODAR: data look good

MISC: TAOS operating from 0700 - 1900 UTC in profiling mode with 3 sensors.
Each ascent/descent took approx. 10 min.

RS-80A sonde launched with reference sonde.

trouble with launch included loosing first balloon (with chute) due to
a snapped tether.

second attempt resulted in balloon burstig in our faces

third attempt successfull! Took data during both ascent and descent - and it
looks reasonable other than some noise.

DAILY REPORT FOR June 19
+++++++++++++++++++++++

WEATHER: extremely windy (gusts over 40 mph) and hazy all day, anvil shield
moved overhead after 0000 UTC. Surface moisture jumped up at 0000 UTC.

IOP: CI and low-level jet missions (late night bore was also sampled)

SONDES: 1800, 2100, 0000, 0300*, 0600, 0800~ UTC (*with reference sonde,
~ launched by Raman crew)

Had some difficulties with the software and had to reload the GLASS v2.3.1 
and reboot,two sondes had problems transmitting winds (i.e., wind fields 
never updated in raw data window). We lost the 2nd sonde when the balloon
popped soon after launch.

MAPR: running fine today, good data collected, interesting features
evident above 2 km. Performed backups. Ran wind_rass_wrap at 1810 UTC.

SODAR: data look good

MISC: tried inflating balloons inside trailer within the wind bag - seems to
make operations a bit easier in the strong winds as you are not inflating
out in the gusty winds.

Launch time delayed by 30 minutes due to earlier problems. Including previous
two sondes not collecting any wind data, glass software having issues and 
needing to be reloaded, and one balloon popping just after launch. After 
getting this one in flight, it temporarily stopped collecting data between
640-616mb. Then at again 601(but for a shorter period this time). Otherwise, 
decent flight.

COMMENTS (data quality, unusual meteorological features, launch problems, etc.)
--------
This sounding was done in conjunction with the reference radiosonde flight.  High winds made launching difficult, but still possible. Signal strength changed from default to 406MHz. 
There was a lot of noise from ~170mb util termination.  sigal strength was unstable and some of the data was odd.

RH and T values were off initially because fan was not on. Once sonde was pulled out of holder, readings were fine.  This launch was done in conjunction with reference radio sonde. Therefore, signal was set to 405.625 db to avoid interference. Towards the end of the flight, had trouble with wind data.

Started up wind rass at 1230 UTC,

Problems with mapr terminal. I am unable to move around the
window system. Am waiting instruction on whether or not to
reboot.

Had to restart mapr display at 14:15 UTC because the maprdisplay
window went blank - approx. 10 min of data was lost. Error messages
indicate the archiving of data could not keep up with the data
production.

Seems to be a storage problem which crops up after rass mode.

Changed the number of levels to 12 (100 m spacing). This seems to
have solved the problem; however, will operate as wind_only mode
overnight to be safe.

152: RADAR, Site IHOP, Thu 13-Jun-2002 21:45:45 GMT, data storage problem on MAPR
/data directory 98% full this morning. I had checked the size last night
and there was only 4 gb taken up by the MAPR files so I set up backup
for a single tape. It turns out that there was much more space taken
up. The report_size command gives a different result depending on 
which shell script you are running. The correct size is given when you
are running a tcsh script. A much smaller size is given is you run
report_size within a csh script.

The net result was that data were lost between 7 and 16 utc.


Note1: MAPR was run in rim_rass mode today for about an hour between
1830 and 1930z.


Note2: I worked with Brian Donovan and Steve Fraiser to get FMCW back
up and running after a power surge knocked it off line sometime
this morning (maybe due to MCS).


Note3: Cleaned tape 0

Note4: created 3 backup tapes today.

Note5: Dotto, Hal and Jun here this morning, successfully
launched reference radiosonde with an old vaisala sonde.









151: DAILY, Site IHOP, Thu 13-Jun-2002 20:35:54 GMT, Daily Report : June 13
DAILY REPORT FOR June 13
+++++++++++++++++++++++

WEATHER: MCS passed through around 10z, quit raining by 13z,
remainder of day characterized by low stratocu and light winds.

IOP: BL heteorogeneity mission - cancelled due to undesirable conditions

SONDES: 15z -reference sonde, 18z (rh seemed low, never got above 90% despite
passing through cloud layer).

MAPR: system down between 07 and 16z due to filled data directory (see 
      RADAR log).

SODAR: data look good

MISC: FCMW crashed overnight likely due to a power surge. Surge protector
for monitor and modem triggered. During trouble shooting, accidentally
switched off power to radio ethernet which affected maprlab and mapr.
maprlab was rebooted. FMCW computer rebooted manually via instruction by
B. Donovan @ UMASS.

146: SOUNDING, Site IHOP, Wed 12-Jun-2002 18:19:41 GMT, sonde data drop outs

It seems we are running into some sort of interference on 
a regular basis with the sondes. The signal turns into a
sort of buzzing noise and the raw data and 10s data stop
updating for 30 secs or so. This seems to occur most often
above 500 mb, but not always. The signal then returns and
all the data begin updating again. Usually this only happens
once per flight.

112: DAILY, Site IHOP, Fri 07-Jun-2002 23:30:49 GMT, Daily Report : June 7
DAILY REPORT FOR June 7
+++++++++++++++++++++++

WEATHER: sunny and clear. low is 16C and high today is 33C. 

IOP: BL with king Air, Falcon, P3

SONDES: 18z regular but delayed until about 19z because of waiting for reference
	to be ready. This sonde was on a pole with a reference sonde, both
	supported by a big ballon with 90 ft^3 helium in. But more heilum
	is needed for this combination, the ascending rate is only about
	2 m/s in this case.
	21z sonde for BL field support

MAPR: interesting double-layer structure with wave appearance was shown
	at 2-4km, 03z to 11z, which accompanied by significant wind shear.
      did rim_rass experiement for about half hour, see radar tklog 


MISC: check with S-pol, their dish antenna for wireless comm. points roughly
	at homestead. So, the antenna orientation on both end looks fine,
	the signal strength may be an enviromental effect.
      The new pre-amp works beautifully today, signals strength is about 95dB
	on the ground and about 50dB towarding 100mb.
      Hal and Junhung did a reference sonde with us. 
      show Balaj and Palow how to make a sounding
	
          

































111: RADAR, Site IHOP, Fri 07-Jun-2002 23:25:37 GMT, RIM_RASS test on MPAR from 2152z ~ 2224z
RASS was tested in a multi-frequency mode, the new mode is called 
wind200mode_4freq2b_rass. I did test for four different parameter set.

1. NCI=10, ng= 5, PRT=4.0e-5, started at 2152z
2. NCI=10, ng=10, PRT=4.0e-5, started at 2203z
3. NCI=15, ng=10, PRT=2.5e-5, started at 2215z
4. NCI=12, ng=10, PRT=3.0e-5, started at 2221z

But none of them seems to show RASS signals from the real-time spectra on
maprdisplay.







110: RADAR, Site IHOP, Fri 07-Jun-2002 23:23:35 GMT, reboot MAPR at 2116z due to the networking problem
the network on MAPR was crashed because I rebooted the networking computer
to install the UPS. MAPR works OK after rebooting.






109: SOFTWARE, Site IHOP, Fri 07-Jun-2002 23:20:38 GMT, install UPS for the computer of wireless comm., reboot maprlab
Put a UPS for the computer dealing the wireless communication. After
that the ISS (maprlab) and MAPR have to be reboot in order to make
the network work.

good flight. signals strength is high at 95dB  when sonde is on ground,
even close to 100mb, the signal still got 50dB, which is much stronger
than before. The new pre-amp seems to function properly. 
I showed Balaj and Palow from SRL how to make sounding.

DAILY REPORT FOR June 6
+++++++++++++++++++++++

WEATHER: sunny and clear. low is 12C and high today is 27C. The wind is pretty
	constant throughout the day with average of 5 m/s.

IOP: BL with Falcon flew above homestead. 

SONDES: 18z and 1939z, the later one was a test flight for the new pre-amp.

MAPR: wind shears were observed at abotu 1.2km after 12z, lots of interesting
	features (wave motion, KH billows) were shown on FMCW plots, some
	of them can also be shown on RIM plot too. These layer structures
	seems to well correlated with the wind shear.   

MISC: Lou came in this afternoon to replace pre-amp of the sounding system 
	and did a test flight. 
      the signal strength of wireless link is as low as 10 dB, checking
	the dish by eye, did see obvious disorientation. will monitor
	the signal strength. 
      Hal and Jounghung came to visit.
      Visitors from U of Missouri came to homestead. 
	
         































105: SOUNDING, Site IHOP, Thu 06-Jun-2002 23:03:13 GMT, replace the pre-amp of sounding system
Lou came in this afternoon to replace the pre-amp of the souding system and
did a test flight. The signal was 88 dB before launch, which is a few dBs 
higher. When the flight reached 100mb, the signal strength still has
40dB, which is much higher than the old pre-amp.

DAILY REPORT FOR June 5
+++++++++++++++++++++++

WEATHER: cloudy in the morning and starts to clear up in the afternoon, but 
	 still partly cloudy. 

IOP: down day

SONDES: 18z regular and 19z which lou came to test the glass system, but 19z
	one did well. The ground receiver lost the satellite track after
	about 780 mb for 18z flight. There was a period signals were down
	to zero, the ERR light on the rack is on since then.

MAPR: restart MAPR at about 1530 and MAPR works fine. design a new mode
	called wind_rim_rain_comp, which should be used during a thunderstorm.
	The purpose is to verify the high resolution wind by alternating
	two modes, wind_rain300mode_4freq2b and wind_rain100mod. But be aware
	that mapr probably won't be able to catch up after a couple hours,
	because # of gates was a lot in both modes.

MISC: Lou came in this afternoon did a test sounding and bring a UPS which
	is going to be used by network computer.
      A new version of Aspen was installed today.

lost signals at about 780mb, the signal came back about 30 second later,
but the # of sate's tracked by gnd rcvr is zero. So, afterwards, there
are no wind data coming in. 






























































































99: RADAR, Site IHOP, Wed 05-Jun-2002 16:46:54 GMT, synchronize sodar's clock to maprlab's
Synchronize the sodar's clock to maplab at 16:46:30. Before the synchronization,
the sodar clock is 2 min 29 sec slower. ie. the maprlab is 16:45:05 and the time
on sodar is 16:42:36.  





98: RADAR, Site IHOP, Wed 05-Jun-2002 16:37:58 GMT, MAPR was down at 00z, June 5, restarted at 1519z, June 5
MAPR was acting weired probably caused by the power surge. Bill helped Dotto
to restart mapr, but mapr crashed at about 00z, June 5. When I came in this
morning, mapr display was blank and no data were written out. I quit the 
program and shut the TX off for about 5 min. I restarted mapr using wind_rass
mode at 1519z, signals looks fine and SNR is OK. Then I switched to wind_rass
mode at 1545z, the signals looked OK and SNR is lower than the
wind_rass mode as expected.  Checked the power meter on TX, it's on full scale
for both modes. 

Clean the TX house a little, lots of moth hiding in there.





97: SOFTWARE, Site IHOP, Wed 05-Jun-2002 16:20:27 GMT, network and maprlab were down probably caused by lighting
the network and maprlab were down probably caused by the lightening.

COMMENTS (data quality, unusual meteorolical features, launch problems, etc.)
--------
The sonde hit the ground when it took off due to the gusty (~15 m/s).
Helium is 34 ft^3, it might need a little more next time when gusty occurs.
The raw pressure showed increasing with height around 580mb for tens of seconds.
It might be caught by some downdraft. doesn't look like the sonde having probelm
caused by the touch-down when it was released.

DAILY REPORT FOR MAY 30
+++++++++++++++++++++++

WEATHER: sunny and partly clouds. low is 14C and high 32C.

IOP: BL mission 

SONDES: 18z. glass was hung for a few second and generate odd points like
	minus pressure. This should be the reason to cause weired skew-t
	on the display. signals are not stable and lost signal totally at
	about 100mb. The antenna gain is still relativey low. check antenna
	connection and hope it gets better tomorrow.   

MAPR: works well today. signals and winds are up to 2km. KH billow like 
	structures were observed around 1230~1330 UT around 3~4km. However,
	the signals strength is too low for RIM to perform reasonable results.
	try to decrease the PRT and increase NCI (save in wind200mode_4freq)
	in order to improve the SNR. However, it gets worse, the first gate
	was extremely low and can't observe as high as using old parameters.
	Therefore, switch to old mode called wind200mode_4freq_old. 

MISC: FMCW did not transmit only receiving till 20UT today. Steve and Gordon
	from UMASS tried to isolate the pproblem of horizontal shown in their
	images.
      Tian and Dotto went to S-pol this afternoon.

The software had a hard time of reading the coeff.  Again, entering the # repeatedly was necessary. A few minutes after launching, signal was fluctuating greatly. Raw MET data was delayed, and recorded some odd pressures.  The signal got lost at the end of the flight and pressures recorded were inaccurate.

DAILY REPORT FOR MAY 29
+++++++++++++++++++++++

WEATHER: sunny and partly low clouds. wind picks up in the afternoon.

IOP: BL mission, king air was flying over homestead site 

SONDES: 15z, 18z, and 21z. the 18z sonde was not showing wind (999.9) when 
	it's on ground although the # of satellites are OK for all three.
	The problem was sloved by restart the soundign process.
	The wind for 21z sonde was locked up due to 0 satellite received
	on the ground receiver. Called Ned and Lou, the only way to fix 
	it is to reclcye power on the rack, however, the data will be lost.
	So, I leave the sonde till the end. Therefore, no wind for 21z 
	sonde for most of time. In addition, the signal strength for 21z
	is relatively weak. 
	The new glass software worked after repeat the process of "coefficient
	failed" three time for each sounding.   

MAPR: work well today. wind_rass mode since yesterday. Signals were up to about
	2 km.

MISC: maprlab was hanging and was fixed by rebooting.
      NASA lidar groups tried to communicate with King Air by radio and shut
	off lidars when the airplan approached. However, the pilot on King
	Air did not notice us when king air approached. Instaed, the king air
	was flying about 500m away from the homestead.
      A snake was spooted near the toilet in the morning.

DAILY REPORT FOR MAY 24
+++++++++++++++++++++++

WEATHER: cloudy and drizzing all day. surface wind starts to pick up in
	 the afternoon


IOP: CI mission, focused on the east TX and west OK, not homestead site 

SONDES: launched at 18z, sounding show the atmopshere dry out at about 1.8km
	 above ground  

MAPR: good signals and wind measurements up to about 2km, matching the sounding
      results. MAPR is running in M-freq mode and seemed OK.
      Modify Bill's IDL plotting routine to improve the Capon images.  

MISC: check mapr, everying is tighted up OK.
      Reprocess the D file of sounding D200205230140 by modifying the M file.
      	the original M file was saved as copy_of_M**., the new D file looked
      	reasonable.
      From now on, please Run Aspen after each sounding to generate 
	QC and WMO files.

good flight, sunny and sligt winds.  The winds were coming from NW direction andthe baloon traced a circular-like path.  
































41: DAILY, Site IHOP, Thu 23-May-2002 01:47:29 GMT, Daily Report : May 22
DAILY REPORT FOR MAY 22
+++++++++++++++++++++++

WEATHER: gusty at surface all day (15-17 m/s), some cirrus clouds 


IOP: CI mission dry line moved back and forth between S-pol and homestead site,
     MIPS, MGLASS, DOWs, are depolyed. P3, King air were flying. 

SONDES:  plan to launch starting at 1pm to 9m LT every 2 hours, but we miss
         1pm sonde because of the software problem and broken of the helium
	 regulator. The software problem was sloved by restarting the computer
	 and receiver. To make sure recycling the power of receiver seemed to
	 be the key. We tried to use the new regulator for the sondes at 5pm 
	 and 7pm, the 5pm one looks OK, but the 7pm sonde was lost satelitte
	 track most of time and pops out only at about 670mb. The reason is 
	 not sure. We launch another sonde a few minute after 7pm. But not
	 enough helium was put into the ballon. So, the sonde hit the ground
	 when we release it and no wind measurement. The ascending rate is 
	 rediculous. We killed it at 8pm and get ready for the next lanch.
	 The 9pm sonde works and we switch back the old regulator to have
	 the right gauge of helium. We have to use the skew driver to push
	 the valve very hard to make it work. 
	 PS: It's getting harder and harder to lanch ballon in such a high
	     wind condition, we lost at least 4 ballons because the wind
	     blow ballons out of the bag and balloon just pops
	 9pm sonde has problems too. The raw data look OK on the screen, but
	 appear to be -999 in the D file. Look at the M file, it is OK, but
	 there are two odd points about where the D file start to generate
	 -999. 

MAPR: The boundary grows up to above 4km in the late afternoon. The 5-min wind
	measurements look good, but for some reasons, the wind in 24hr display
        looks odd, only a few wind bars were shown. Sharp gradient of SNR was
	shown at about 800 m, which does not look like really. possible
	cause by the ground clutter.

poor flight, rather gusty, balloon struggled to lift because it was not inflatedcorrectly, as a result of this, sonde hit ground during lift.  Wind data was sporadic and is skeptical.  However, 10 s data seems to be working.

nice flight but it's really hard to hold ballon in such high wind.
10 s data have problem (T, RH, P) although raw data look good.
the regulator was broken, will try to use the new one for next ballon.
Glass has problem, reboot computer and recycle the RX power solve it.

DAILY REPORT FOR MAY 21
+++++++++++++++++++++++

WEATHER: Fineall day.  Relatively strong gusty at surface 
(15-16 m/s southerly). Some thin clouds occur during the day. 


IOP: ABL mission but not focused on the homestead site. 

SONDES:  Launch at 1800Z

MAPR: No obvious structures above the boundary layer. The maprdisplay was dead
at 1700UT for no reason. Restart maprdisplay using wind_rass mode 
(1 frequency) and works OK. Turn on the RASS tms file at 2147UT. 

MISC: clean both tape drivers.
The Glass system was fixed by Ned this morning. It seem like that the coff for
the sonde was missing from the backup disc.

Attempted sounding at 3UT (10PM Local).
=======================================

Attempted to launch sounding at 9:30pm in support of Raman calibration.

Error reported in GLASS Labview software:  Sending coef failed!!!

Retried numerous times, rebooted 4 times, reloaded software
from distribution disk, tried the original coefts disks
and a backup coefts disks, tried a second sonde, 
checked cables in back to serial port and expander box,
tried to diagnose problems over the phone to Ned and Mike, 
and even entered the coeffts manually.

Nothing worked so abandoned attempt after an hour.

DAILY REPORT FOR MAY 13
+++++++++++++++++++++++

WEATHER: Fine, clear skies, light wind, warm

IOP:  No IOP today

SONDES:  One launch at 18Z

MAPR:  Running single frequency mode all day,
       RASS from 20Z - seems to be okay, though lowest gates dropping out.

MISC:  King Air flew over twice on test flight
           21:10 flew N to S at about 900'
           21:23 flew NE to SW at about 850'
           Radio contact wasn't great, only clear within 10 or so
           miles of site.


Charlie working on networking etc.  Rebooted computers several times
so some brief data interuptions. (See seperate entries).

Joe VanAndel & Brandon here working with U.Mass hooking up
fiber network around the site.


15: SOFTWARE, Site IHOP, Tue 14-May-2002 22:43:11 GMT, ZEBRA time line rescaling
I think the option to change the time span is not enabled in ZEBRA. It was originally done using the right mouse button I believe and I can't seem to find it currently. It needs to be reinabled or I need to be shown how to use it.
14: RADAR, Site IHOP, Tue 14-May-2002 22:41:05 GMT, MAPR crashed approx 21:15z due to disk full.
/data was 100% full. I transfered data to jestor/jaz/susedik_mapr. Unfortunately I did it as root, so it will have to be corrected. It was all from the RASS directory. None of the wind data was moved and no data was deleted.

9: SOFTWARE, Site IHOP, Tue 14-May-2002 00:49:38 GMT, IDL hostid
the hostid on mapr just decided to change itself in
the middle of the day, without any prompting. Bill says
that Gary say this behavior on maprlab, during Reno.

I discoverd a little C program on maprlab, sethostid.c,
which can be used to set the hostid. Maprlab's /etc/rc.local
was trying to run it, but failing because it was not found in
/etc. I copied the executable to /etc, and so it runs
at boot time.

I copied the program to mapr, and ran it 
there once, however at the momment I haven't
set it up to run automatically. If we see the problem
again, we'll add it to the bootup sequence.

8: SOFTWARE, Site IHOP, Tue 14-May-2002 00:38:00 GMT, Network configuration
We are now setup to use either the UMass/SPOL network or the
OfficeConnect/PTSI network.

To switch between them, first power down all of the 
computers (iss2class, maprlab, sodar and mapr).

Connect the network of choice into the "Uplink" port
of the D-Link DSS-8+ switch. This will either be the
twisted pair cable from the UMass/Netgear 8 port switch,
or the cable from the 3Com/OfficeConnect box.

Reboot the computers. It is best to get maprlab running
first, since it exports disks and runs samba.

DHCP on both UMass and OfficeConnect is configured
as follows, serving out fixed IP addresses:

network:  192.168.5.0
mapr      192.168.5.1
maprlab   192.168.5.2
iss2class 192.168.5.3
sodar     192.168.5.4

NOTE that the OfficeConnect is configured
as 192.168.5.10; you willhave to use that 
address in your browser. http://3com.oc.lanmodem
should work also.

I think the reset button on the OfficeConnect 
can be used to reset it to factory defaults,
which would restore its IP to its standard 192.168.1.1.
We will want to do this at the end of the project,
so that Gordon doesn't become totlly frustrated
trying to access the box months from now.

These IP addresses have been put into
maprlab:/iss/etc/hosts, mapr:/etc/hosts,
and iss2class:windows/hosts

5: SOFTWARE, Site IHOP, Sun 12-May-2002 17:43:42 GMT, Mods to ISS software for Liunx operation
init.d/datasend: 
- change class platform file pattern from cdf to nc

- changed ping paramters for timing out; solaris version
continues to ping fo 180 counts.

- changed /bin/test reference to /usr/bin/test

init.d/archive:
- changed /bin/test reference to /usr/bin/test
- added migrate commands for /data/sodar/data and
/data/sodar/rawdata.

init.d/init.iss: 
- added sodar module startup
- removed soap startup and shutdown.

init.d/sodar:
- added

init.d/display:
- added xterm -C to provide console output for Campbell

init.d/ingest:
- fixed exec command for ingest scheduler; redirecting output
to $console. The conditional 
- moved the sleep command out of the subshell that invokes
"surface start". Maybe I can move this back in, as a fixed sleep 
rather than the variable. All I know is that having the variable call 
in there stoped cam_ingest from running; moving it out fixed it. Will have
to look further at this.

init.d/root.iss:
diabled network, jazdevice, autofs and dtlogin startup.

/etc/rc5.d:
added S99zISS and K99zISS links to root.iss. NOTE that level 5 is the
default runlevel on maprlab.
