SHEBA: Base_Software Messages: 12 Entries..

Gordon's new ftp file was received today which included 
$PAM/config/fmt0050.dat

I edited the file to increase the trh timeout from .25 to .5 seconds,
and EVEmaked the sta00x.dat files.

These files were transferred to the Laptop and the remote stations....or
at least that's my intention to do now...

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.

12/18 06:20gmt
	Installed 971215 logbook software upgrade from Gordon.

Error message in log: nc_server not responding: RPC: Timed out.

FOLLOW-UP:  PAMPOLL had to be rebooted to get nc_server running
properly. No data was lost. Trying to restart nc_server with the
script nc_server.up did not work. Tryed doing polldn then pollup.
This did not work either.

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.

2/22 ~04:10
	Remotely changed heaton=5 and heatoff=3600 at Atlanta, Florida, 
and Baltimore.

	Still investigating problem with Florida where the sonic heaters cycle 
on and off every 5 minutes.

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.

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

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.

Hi all!

I just put two files of data on our anonymous location, one has hourly means
and the other has daily means.  These files combine the data from the sonics
and the "slow" sensors at the met tower site. The files have averages of all
the instruments and all 5 levels (when relevant) at the tower site for the
entire year.  This includes sensible heat fluxes, u*, radiative fluxes,
etc., as well as surface pressure & true wind direction.  It will not
include anything from the ophir, nor does it include the Barnes or the
original relative humidities (there are columns for the latter two, so they
will be in the final version after more calibrations, etc.).  The
calibrations include all pre-experiment calibrations (e.g., CMDL
calibrations of radiometers), but not the intercomparisons during the field
program.  Eppley-derived surface temperatures use emissivity of 0.99.
Tower-orientation & pressure is obtained from Florida adjusted for the
various moves of this site.  The daily averages for sonic data exclude the
times flagged as anomalous (manually and automatically).  These are fresh
out of a new/revised matlab program, so let me know if there are problems.

I envision that this would not be the public release data files, but rather
the files that we PIs work from and that NCAR personell can use for QC work.
Let me know if there are other parameters, formats, etc, you want in the
final version of these files.  For instance, do you want the mean sonic
temperatures?  How about the dome and case temperatures from the
radiometers?  Should we also put in the ophir data and latent heat fluxes
once someone gets working on that?  The file is already quite big, esp. with
all the sonic variances and structure functions.  (Peter, note that u* and w
only have increased accuracy for about 30 days in the spring and after JD
221, as only this sonic data was processed after you made the request.  When
the final sonics are reprocessed a final time, all data will have the
increased accuracy).

The files are tab-delimited text files, have headers for each column, run
from JD302 1997 - JD273 1998, and are called

prof_file_all.txt
prof_file_davg_all.txt

If you have any questions, just ask.
