weather: clear and cloudy today. Clouds have been coming and going. No wind
System crashed sometime around 23:00 12/23 GMT. Seems strange, the program windows go away (are gone), but the computer is still running. Is this normal?? Restarted adam at 05:00 12/24 GMT, everything seems to be working fine.

weather: cloudy for most of the day, a few periods of clear. Adam been working just fine. Did data backup - apparently was problem with CD and then backup moved files so that they couldn't be found when retried. Cleaned rime off of all TRH sensors at ~03:30 GMT.
System is working with the adam on the snow rather than on the tower mount. No glitches today.

weather: clear weather with changes only to wind speeds (you guys see that) and smooooth sailing for the adam since last entry. Last night was the first overcast period, ~09:00 12/19 GMT.
System is working with the adam on the snow rather than on the tower mount. Came in this morning ~21:00 12/19 GMT and system was off, everything. Restarted everything and it all looks OK now. Other than that no glitches. Since last entry.

General status note - several restarts over the last few days. everything running fine for now. What data there is from the last week is backed up.
- 106: status, Site , Fri 01-Dec-2000 07:43:06 NZDT, failure
the adam failed / stopped again after five minutes. No time for this. Perhaps there is a buffer somewhere that fills up. Unless some advise for better operation comes down the pike this experiment is over. Happily, a reasonable quantity of very interesting data has been bagged.
Ciao

I restarted the adam at ~ 0740 LT. Don't know when it quit.

Steve and I set up the adam on the ground next to the tower after bringing it back to the lab and having it run. We slowly connected everything - allowing time for failure between changes. Right now it is completely connected and has been running for a while. I need to check to see if the 22m fan is turned on.

All the aster equipment is now on the tower. The

Marty hopes to setup his NO machine tomorrow.
- 23: status, Site , Wed 22-Nov-2000 23:04:15 NZDT, STATUS
The system has been moved out to the tower. At this time,
The ADAM and 4 TRH units are up and running.
- 10: status, Site , Mon 20-Nov-2000 22:58:59 NZDT, today's progress
Today was pretty productive. After conversing with Gordon and Steve O
about some software / sonic issues, I started work on the infrastructure.
At the end of the day, all booms mounted, the adam platform mounted,
the intercomparison boom mounted, and cabling for the 3 upper TRHs done.
I hope to finish all the cable work tomorrow. I still need to run tests
on the NO system so I may be delayed a day before I can deploy.
