SHEBA: Site base Messages, 153 Entries..

I finally got around to adding the printers tonight.

I named these:
	color1	142.130.59.10	color laserjet 5M
	sp_1	142.130.59.50	B/W laserjet 6MP

I added to the PAM login:
	letenv LPDEST sp_1

I have not configured in a default system printer though.

PAMPOLL is down. There is no response over the net.
Data collection stopped at about 5:00 AM local time.

Reason:  the ship's net connection was broken - the hub in the
officer's lounge fell off the wall.

  The 200ft RF cable was put in series with the existing
cable to do a check. It appears to be ok; however, the additional
loss did effect communication with stations 2 and 3.

Weather: 

base: pampoll donw!

STATIONS:  all stations reporting up till pampoll went down
	   communication to 2 and 3 was weak over the last 24 hours
	   due to testing of antenna cable.

Weather: thick stratus clouds at about 0.8 km ASL, then clear

STATIONS:  up and running.
	   two short gaps in station 3 data

VOLTAGES/CURRENTS	voltages ok.  Florida's load current dropped due to 
				removing 4-component and fan for diagnosis on 					board the ship.

TBOX:	got a bit warm as the stratus passed over and the ambient air 
		temperatures rose.

TRH:	ok.  Warmer temperatures correspond to thick stratus passing over.

4-COMP: Atlanta and Baltimore domes probably rimed over.  Gap in Florida data 
		due to bringing 4-component indoors for diagnosis.

PRESS:	ok

T/GSOIL: ok

HFT: Sudden increase in Gsoil at Cleveland.  Earlier in day had instructed 
		Jumper on how to clear instruments of rime if/when he 
		happened to be out at the PAM sites.  He did this at Cleveland. 			He may have stepped on the snow over the flux plate.  
		Installation manual says to install temperature sensor over 
		flux plate.  If this was done, why wasn't there a change in 
		Tsoil?

SONICS: Can see where Jumper cleaned rime off sonics about 0Z (11/4/97).  
		Rimed up again within a couple of hours.

MISCELLANEOUS	

Weather: sustained winds > 10m/s most of day.  Cloud radar showed returns up 			to 5 km much of the day.

STATIONS:  up and running.
	   Gaps in station 3 data due to transmission failure.
		Gap in data for all 4 stations due to lost link between pam pc 
		and pampoll laptop.  May not be a gap in data stored on pampoll 
		laptop.  Should not be a gap in data on site flashcards.

VOLTAGES/CURRENTS: ok

TBOX:	ok

TRH:	ok.

4-COMP: Did more testing on Florida's 4-component.  Tried disconnecting one or 
	more radiometers at a time to see possible influence on pyg dome 
	temperatures.  Found that with pyg.in disconnected, other 3 
	radiometers gave good output.  When pyg.in cable is reconnected, both 
	pyg dome temperatures develop a positive offset.  Asking NCAR folks 
	for permission to open pyg.in and inspect wiring.

PRESS:	ok

TSOIL: ok

HFT: Gsoil output from Cleveland more variable than other sites.  Possibly 
	due to footprint near sensor causing greater influence from varying 
	air temperature.

SONICS: High winds and warmer temperatures cleaned frost off sonics.

MISCELLANEOUS	

Weather: overcast, thin stratus.

STATIONS:  up and running.
	"Visited" Florida.  Light snow cleaned off domes, on downwind side.  
		No frost on sonic.  Fresh layer of snow all around; no 
		footprints from previous visits.  Changed propane.  Old 
		tank weighed 35#, so still had 12.5# of propane in it.
		Chose not to change flash card this time.
	Visited Atlanta.  Light snow cleaned off domes.  Fresh layer of snow 
		all around; no footprints.  Changed propane and flash card.  
		Old tanks weighed 25 and 42 #s, so still had 22# of propane.
		No frost on sonic thanks to recent storm/wind. 
	Intended to visit Baltimore and possibly Cleveland tomorrow, but 
		a large lead opened up near the ship.  The trail to 
		Baltimore includes 300' of water/slush.  The trail to 
		Cleveland hasn't been checked all the way, but the view from 
		the bridge shows it may well be inaccessible as well. 

VOLTAGES/CURRENTS: ok

TBOX:	ok  Interesting how box temps vary between sites.

TRH:	ok.  Cleveland temps don't follow quite the pattern the other 3 sites 			do.
		During Atlanta site visit, Chris Fairall placed Vaisala 
		handheld temperature/humidity sensor that ETL uses as an 
		intercomparison standard near intake of TRH.  At 22:40 he 
		read -14.1C, and 84% relative humidity.

4-COMP: pyg.in still disconnected at Florida.  ~22:00gmt, replaced pyg.out 
		cable with pyg.in cable to test pyg.in cable.  ~02:00gmt, 
		transfered pyg.out cable to pyg.in bulkhead connector on 
		CSI black box.
	Not concerned with levels on Florida's 4-component until pyg problem 
		is solved.  Level cable remains unattached.

PRESS:	ok

TSOIL: ok

HFT: Gsoil at Baltimore shows much more variation today than before.  Could 
	storm have scoured some of its snow cover away?

SONICS: ok!

MISCELLANEOUS	

Weather: light winds, low, variable stratus.

STATIONS:  up and running.
	Visited Cleveland.  Very light frost on sonic, mostly on frame and 			arms, not heads.  Brushed most of it off with a feather 
		duster.  Residue remained.  Used (initially) warm fingers 
		to melt and wipe off frost/water.
	      Changed propane and flashcard.  Returned propane tanks 
		weighed 32# and 52#.  52# tank will not be refilled!
	      Had to cross new lead (not the 300' wide one), that was 6-8' 
		wide in most places.  Followed it for ~1/4 mile to find good 
		crossing.

VOLTAGES/CURRENTS: ok

TBOX:	ok

TRH:	ok.  Noticed temporary increase in RH at Atlanta compared to other 
		sites.  THEN heard a lead opened up between the ship and 
		the Atlanta site.  Wahoo!

4-COMP: Made additional tests on 4-component in-situ at Florida.  Will study 
	result later tonight.

PRESS:	ok

TSOIL: ok  Tsoil at Atlanta very stable compared to others.  Explains near 
		constant and low heat flux noted below.

GSOIL: Gsoil at Cleveland seems to have recovered from possible footprint near 
	or on it.  Recent storm probably blew in fresh snow cover.  Atlanta 
	Gsoil, though, looks nearly flat compared to other 3 sites.

SONICS: As noted above, thoroughly cleaned all frost off sonic heads at 
	Cleveland.  Good data for all of an hour before they started riming 
	again.  Other sites rimed up as well.

MISCELLANEOUS	

Weather: 

STATIONS:  up and running.
	George (SHEBA staff) investigated the route to Baltimore.  Impossible.

VOLTAGES/CURRENTS: ok

TBOX:	Dips in box temperatures at Cleveland and Florida due to lid being 
	open for maintenance.  Atlanta box temperature approaching 45C.  Over 
	past week, box temperatures at sited have ranged from 15-45C.

TRH:	ok

4-COMP: Brought in Florida's 4-component and Campbell box for diagnosis.  It 
	worked fine indoors.  Took it to met hut where I could test it again 
	with the 4-component and Campbell box outside in the cold.  Still 
	worked find.  Took it to Florida and reinstalled it.  It continued to 
	work fine.  Don't know what made the difference nor how long it will 
	continue to work.
		Installed fan with 4 independent outlets and a resistor 
	heater.

	Tubing connecting fan to radiometers was insulated with fiberglass
	pipe wrap.

TBOX:	Dips in box temperature at Florida due to lid being 
	open for maintenance.  

TRH:	ok

4-COMP: Atlanta, Cleveland, and Baltimore obviously invalidated by rime.  
	Numbers from Florida implyh that fan with 4 independent outlets and
	a resistor heater is keeping rime off. Data from Florida went bad at
	about 0700 GMT, following usual pattern of delayed failure.  Note 
	that this occurred when air temperature went below -16 C, but doubt
	significance.

A "shutdown" of the shebop pc caused the logbook entries for 11/15/97-11/24/97 
to be lost from the logbook.  Entries for 11/15-11/20 were recovered from an 
email copy and re-stored in the logbook as entry #124.  Entries for 11/21-11/24 
are not recoverable, but contained little besides routine comments.  The one 
exception is that on 11/22, Florida's propane tank was changed.  
Coincidentally, it had run out of propane one hour earlier, having used up 
its propane at a rate slightly higher than before.  (Or possibly the zero on 
the scale had been bumped and the propane weight was wrong.)  The TEG was 
still warm and started right up.

The site formerly known as Cleveland is now known as Lake Erie.

Wx:  Cold,somewhat cloudy, moderate winds.

STATIONS: Cleveland was dismantled last Saturday and the bones are stored in
cold hut. I will inspect them soon to see about salvage .

VOLTAGES/CURRENTS: FLA is ok.  BAL good, Atl is marginal The effect of two-
hourly sonic heaters is apparent.

BOX TEMPS: All operating systems declined from ~25 to ~ 15degreeC

SONICS: FLA good all time.  ATL and BAL irregular until ~1800 when sample level increased to ~100% Bal heater turned on for one hour at 1900 
When Tcount < 99% then u and v noisy
When Tcount > 99% then u and v smoother
Even more pronounced effect with w

PRES: Atl, Bal and Fla all equiv

TRHP: Atl and Bal similar, Fla Rh lower

4-COMP: Fla domes were cleaned at ~1200 AKST .Effect seen on R.pile.in. Tdome 
and Tcase look OK

T and G: ok.  

LEVELS and COMPASS: Effect of heater on compass. From compass data apparently
Bal position changing wrt others.
Bal level still bad

MISCELLANEOUS:  Lead west of ship has iced over..

Wx:  Cold,somewhat cloudy, moderate to strong winds.

STATIONS: Inspected Florida in order to decide how to replace Gill sonic
with ATI sonic and how to disconnect and bring the four component radiometer
array into the ship.
Inspected the Cleveland tripod/radiometer boom. The rebuild could possibly
be mostly be done here at Shebaship with only a few pieces brought from Boulder.

VOLTAGES/CURRENTS: Again FLA is ok.  BAL good, Atl is marginal The effect of two
hourly sonic heaters is apparent.

BOX TEMPS: All boxes in range 13 to 22 degreeC

SONICS: Flor and Balt have good sample %, Atl range from 60% - 100%
u and v Flo and Bal smooth Atl ragged
w Flo and Balt OK, Atl mostly out of range +ve

PRES: Atl, Bal and Fla all equiv

T: Bal Ttherm and Tplat very similar, Atl and Fla Ttherm 0.05 lower than Tplat

RH: Fla RH 2% lower than Bal and Fla RH, generally same form

4-COMP: sw albedo should be ~95% but Balt shows ~ 70%. Maybe effect of only
upper dome icing.
lw Fla showed -60 Wm-2 from last evening 
The top domes and cases are systematically ~0.1 degreeC cooler than the bottom
domes and cases.
(Fla upper domes cleaned at 1425 AST on 20 Feb)

T and G: ok.  

LEVELS and COMPASS: Effect of heater on compass. From compass data apparently
Again Bal position changing wrt other two stations
Bal level still bad

MISCELLANEOUS:  Did inspection of Fla to look at cabling of sonic and four
component radiometer array. NB the fan in the four comp ventilator still
running

2/20 ~22:00
	Installed latest software upgrade, which includes sonic heater 
control based on tcount.

2/21 ~16:30
	Remotely changed heaton=300 and heatoff=3600 at Atlanta, Florida, 
and Baltimore.

Wx:  Cold, 8/10 stratos and cirrostratos, moderate to strong winds.

STATIONS: Friday, 20 Feb, evening at ~1600 AST there were hull sounds 
as the ice moved. A new crack opened along the line of the pressure ridge
between the ship and Ocean City. A party went out in the evening to move
a barrel store away from the crack, but the crack has not widened further.

VOLTAGES/CURRENTS: The new software for the sonic heater became active at
~1300 AST on Friday See logbook entry # 268. Jeff is still modifying
the parameters

BOX TEMPS: All boxes in range 13 to 22 degreeC. The effect of our visit
to Fla when the lid was opened at 1300AST is apparent

I removed the -S option from the pollup script on pampoll.  I will FTP 
/var/log/pam.log to Gordon.

FYI  ->  before I did the mods ~1300 Alaskan  I found pampoll in the suspend mode.  I had to hit the reboot/power button twice.  I held it for one sec then release.  The first time it cleared the suspend icon ( still locked up, though ), then once more to reboot it.

Dave

I reset the time on pampoll with the date command.  It was slow about ten mins.

Last week I asked the ship's tech to check out the base antenna after we had
lost the data link during the rain.  He didn't find anything wrong then, but
yesterday he was up on the mast and checked the N connector between the ship's
heliax and the NCAR antenna cable. The connector was full of water.  He dried
and taped it back up.  This should help out on those rainy days.

dmc

The packet files from the "flash" and "polled" directories on
shebop were read from the backup tape that Tom/John made just
before shutdown.  These files were merged with the ones
we had here on /net/pam, and the data copied into the netcdf
files.  

Therefore, the netcdf files here at NCAR should be complete.
