SHEBA: Daily_Status Messages: 319 Entries..

TODAY:
	General ship unloading work, esp. w/Ed Andreas, Marty.
	Found Rocky, haven't configured it/anything yet.

CONCERNS:
	- Propane filling procedure.  Ship doesn't have a scale to
	verify weight/fill of the tanks.   Relying only on the tank's
	gauge could possibly lead to tanks that aren't filled completely
	and subsequent loss of our scant 20-day capacity.
	Consider bringing simple house-hold scale to weigh up to 50-lb.

	- Static pressure port.  This is going to ice up (everything does).
	Will that plug the port's holes?  This could be a problem.

	- Storage / work area.  This doesn't seem available.  The ETL
	crew may need to simply keep our spares in a box on deck(?) and
	work from their room.

COMMENTS:
	Consider bringing more WD40 (excellent for melting ice)

Tom,	Notes  8-Oct-97, 20:30 AK

IMPORTANT QUESTION/COMMENT FOR STEVE I NEED INPUT ON:
Campbell: I haven't been able to successfully load new coefficients.
	Through EVE talk (started or stopped condition) spurious characters
	keep coming through after the message.  Also, the 2718H method
	does not go into interactive mode at all and I don't know where a
	CR10X manual is.   Does this sound like an EVE configuration
	problem, or something that you've seen before.

Misc:	Steve: yes we have spare pcmcia cards.

Weather:
	25 knot winds began this afternoon, -12C.  Worse tonight.
	Difficult working conditions, low visibility, blowing snow.
	Losing sun at 18-min/night.
	Tomorrow a low pressure system is supposed to pass near here
	and the condition may not be any better.

Logistics:
	Having Kurt on the Louie and the subsequent transit time
	back and forth really cuts down on the working hours.
	He's been voluntarily skipping going back for lunches, but
	even at that, when the dinner starts at 4:30 and the 'shuttle'
	runs roughly at 9 to here, ll:15 to there, 1 to here, 4:15 to
	there, 5:45 to here and 6:45 to there, it hurts.
	The ships are going to transfer fuel beginning tomorrow and
	possibly through Friday.  Hopefully personnel xfr after that
	and maybe Kurt will be moved here Saturday.
	I don't know what these ship schedules will do to us when
	we go out for a station setup.

Site Survey:
	-- THIS IS BECOMING A MAJOR CONCERN BECAUSE IT STILL ISN'T DONE.--
	Still waiting on Helo, they're still prioritied to bouys and
	one pilot is ill.   Don't know when flying begins.
	I'm hoping that one possible site 2km out can be surveyed and
	then setup on Friday, but that might not be possible given the
	weather.  Have discussed situation with Ed.

Status:
	1-station up on battery last night.
	TEGs: Startup has been difficult.
		We got these running this am.
		It'll took all day to adjust these and I'm still not
		certain they're right yet.
	I now have all 4 boxes on the air and TEGs up as best we could do.
	Station 3 has a Campbell/TRH running along with EVE.
	Will need to continue tweaking to optimize TEGs tomorrow.
	I broke the 'TEG-input' Amp connector on sled-2's battery box
	in the cold (they're not as good as manuf. said).   I also sprung
	sled-1 lid's hinges when it was caught by the wind.  Now the box can't
	hold the lid upright any more, and can't fix it; will need
	to use a rope.  I might be able to get another set of hinges from
	Wilson Case later this year.
	Sleds had to have their hitched modified to match the machines here.
	Hopefully we'll try towing test tomorrow.

	Shebop / RF running.  Seems to be polling OK.  No time server here
	but Gordon's software seems be alright with that even if the data
	time sync is a bit slow.   Also haven't played with trying to
	print yet: no time to do.   Gordon's documentation was extremely
	helpful and accurate from what i've seen...thanks much.
	Direct 'tip' to EVE console works pretty well (best way to do 
	console operations given difficulty w/portables) but I've just been
	physically swapping the connector to ttyb instead of bringing up/down
	ppoll.

Suggest you bring:
	Cigarette Lighters	(but available on ship here also 4z)
	Flint Striker, Cold weather Leak Detect Fluid, Procomm Manual
	Scale: bath style best to set tank on; spring OK but not as good.
	Black Compaq carrying case.  Pat should have this
		at home because I brought the Compaq without its case.
		Rocky case is lousy for the field, compaq is better.
	Tom, please ask Pat to send email to me, the addr. I have is
	wrong...thanks.

Field Computer:
	The Rocky screen 'died' last night within 15-min and it's battery
	doesn't last long, plus the mouse is hard to use.  Today it worked
	a bit better when placed directly over the TEG.  The Compaq screen
	doesn`t last.
	It is quite difficult to use.
	Service personnel will absolutely need hand warmers for the screen.
	The black compaq case is better for that purpose.

RE GORDON:
Polling Machine:
	Yes, bring the Laptop per Gordon's suggestion.
	Call it	`pampoll'	142.130.59.206
	shebop = 142.130.59.204
	rocky  = 142.130.59.205
	pampoll= 142.130.59.206
	domainname = spo.ca
	mask   = 255.255.252.0
	printer = 142.130.59.50	hp laserjet 'shebaprinter' 6M PostSc.
	printer = 142.130.59.10	hp color laserjet 5M PostSc.

RE GORDON/STEVE:
TRH / Config. Mismatch / Splus:
	The TRH data appears to have a timeout problem in the config that
	causes it to be interpreted by EVE incorrectly part of the time
	because of inconsistent parsing.  I'll try to fix 
	that by setting timeout=.5 seconds in the sbus command.
	We seem to be using fmt0055.dat now.   That's what I'll edit,
	plus on the portable.
	I also still need to confirm configurations between the EVE/Base
	versions.

	Splus came up but i couldn't read the sparse baro data from
	the station last night: error = 
		---------------------------
Error in plot.ats(x, xlim = ..1, type = ..2, col =..: all data in timeseries is
        NA
Dumped
Error in dialog.send(paste("dialog setcurrent", di..: Dialog handling system not
        started!
Error during wrapup
		---------------------------
	I assume this problem relates to inconsistencies in the config.?
	Or else because I naively asked for data from all stations when
	only 1 was up?
	So far I have only been able to try it once, there hasn't been
	much time to play with it.  Maybe the next go around it'll work.

Re GAME Transmitter:
	Not much time or documentation here to really go over this.
	My initial impression is that they've done things OK but I must
	take a better look at the message.
	I recommend watching the transmission using a RF wattmeter
	while it comes up at the scheduled time
	to make certain that the cable/antenna is OK by confirming there
	is about 10-Watts forward power and ~.7-Watts reflected.
	A bad connection/antenna will reflect considerably more and
	prevent the signal going to the spacecraft.
	There's also a possibility that the transmitter's battery voltage
	detect circuit thinks there isn't enough juice and is canceling
	the transmission itself.   If the message doesn't go out with
	10-Watts forward power, that's a possibility.   I believe there's
	something in the EVE cheat-sheet manual referencing to this circuit
	or else in the regular Signal Engineering document.   Anyway,
	I believe that if the battery droops below roughly 11.5VDC when
	the transmitter turns on, that circuit will cancel the message.

More Later, JM

Tom,	Notes  9-Oct-97, 22:45 AK


Weather: Today was better for working.  5-ish m/s, -10-ish,
	intermittent snow showers.
	Expecting calm enough conditions for the next 2-3 days, but
	it's uncertain about cloud/visibility.

Personnel: Pat and I just canceled our AK vacation.  Either Kurt or I
	can/will be prepared to stay (probably me).   No guarantees
	for rides out on the 20th.  Will play it by ear.  I'll trust
	that you (Tom) will be able to fill all the holes in the base
	with new code/expertise/time, etc.   I'll grab the ftp's from
	Gordon when available and can get to it.
	Tom: Can you have Celia change my airline reservations to
	return all the way to Denver and open-end it?

Project: The Louis repositioned adjacent to the D.G. and the fuel
	transfer began today.  It will finish 
	tomorrow.  The Louis leaves on Saturday the 11th.
	Tomorrow is the last opportunity for flying at all.  If
	conditions permit, one helo will be devoted for photo-survey
	including PAM sites.  No guarantee.  If we cannot fly, the
	sites necessarily must be found by snow-mobile and will be
	much closer to the ship.

PAM Status:
	We had a mini-mtg w/Ed,Marty,Kerry,Kurt,I which helped us get
	better organized (will be nice to have everyone together).
	We pulled all 4 sleds today ~250m to adjacent the met hut.
	That went OK, but it was nice to be going on beaten down
	tracks with only a few drifts from the wind storm.  It's going
	to be very challenging to pull these things around 'out there'
	where light and contrast are problematic.  It'll be all too easy
	to get stuck.

	One full station setup today with sensors.  All four reporting
	to base.
	Played with TEGs on 3 Sleds.  For most part they're close to
	being acceptable.
	Found first dead 4-comp fan today.
	Ed/Kerry helped quite a bit today.  Marty/ETL has already
	finished their phase-1 goals for doing before the first wave
	arrives.

Gill:	aligned with 'u' north to parallel the north on the TRH
	compass so that they are reporting similarly even though the
	xarms are 90-deg off.   We'll need to talk about how to back
	out the wdir data from the gps and magnetic deviation data
	later.   Suggestions?


Configuration / Splus:
	I rebuilt fmt0055 on the base and put that onto all stations.
	That 'timeout=.5' seems to have fixed the TRH/EVE sync
	problem: good.
	If Gordon/Steve's new fmt0050 comes here, it must have that in
	the sbus command for the TRH, or else i'll do it before
	downloading to stations.
	I haven't yet tried plotting data with the new format yet, and
	in fact haven't restarted the DAQ/pdecode yet....just did now
	at 10pm.  Will look at data hopefully early
	tomorrow......nope, no go.

	Gordon:
	Can't remember what i said before but have noticed stnplot
	doesn't seem to let me select just 1 station.
	The dialog handling system doesn't seem to be starting which is
	causing crash problems.   Should i remake splus, or wait for
	your new versions per the other message?

TRH Notes:
	Using EVE talk, the beacon came on as advertized, but it's a big
	problem not having an "OK" reply from the sensor/eve that it
	works.  Getting
		Enter Command --> BEACON
		ERROR: No response from sBus
	Is unacceptable when you're getting ready to go out into the
	night.  If there's time a new ROM with a simple reply entry in
	that command option would really help.

	PVC Mounting shields are insecure.  The panduit ties used
	don't appear to be low temp. grade.  The parts are slipping.
	We'll use our better ties, but this must be addressed.
	Perhaps some low-temp. tape?  Is that available that you
	(Steve) can get?   The as we fix it will probably work, but
	i'd hate to see the shield fall into the snow.

Logger Notes:
	Borrowed Campbell keypad and programmed sled-2 CR10X.  Worked
	very well.  RECOMMEND STEVE GET ONE ON ORDER IF NOT BRING ONE
	HERE, however we might be able to continue to borrow one as
	needed.  The EVE talk method described in our cheat sheet came
	closer to working with a different CR10X than the first one i
	tried, but it appeared to hang in the interactive mode without
	ever allowing access to the memory location.
	Will program remaining coefficients tomorrow using keypad.
	With the new EVE config. and CR10X reprogrammed I noticed on
	the startup that the logger stayed with 5-second reporting and
	I didn't see any more of the spurious characters previously
	reported.  I haven't had a chance to go through the
	config./CR10 message format to confirm this is a fix.  Will
	know when i look at the others tomorrow.

Data:	The 4-comp. data appeared a bit odd but maybe in the ball park.
	We confirmed that the physical sensor is being reported on the
	correct EVE variable.  From 7:00 tonight during low twilight,
	thin but essentially complete cloud cover, here's a rep. of the data:
	PSP in = 0, out = 0
	PYG in = 248, out = 270 (warmer ocean than air)
	Tdry = -10.15, Tdry2 = -10.26, RH = 89.05
	Baro = 1018.32  (note box temp later showed +11 when outside
	=-12, so the TEGs are definitely warming things up)
	u/v/w = consistent with observed.

Schwarz Note:
	Moving the pentapod with the schwarz takes 2 people and is
	awkward.  Plus the entire station is unstable unless it is
	directly to the south tripod leg.   Note we haven't tried the
	anchoring technique yet.  I wonder how well that small fender
	washer will work.  Hopefully tomorrow, but the time really
	does fly (if not us).

GPS Notes:
	There's a lot of drift of the ice.  Simply having
	lat/lon. probably won't be enough to find the sites, relative
	bearing and marking of the trail is needed.   (We moved about
	12 miles in the wind yesterday.)   We'll try to use the
	electric fence posts as markers.
	Having an Splus plot of ice-station drift would be helpful,
	but low priority at this point.   It would be nice at some
	point to reprogram the gps to provide heading information via
	EVE. 

Later, JM

Station 1 was setup today, Saturday 11-Oct-97.

It is approximately 1.5 miles north of the ship on smoothe ice at this time.
The weather held off nicely and stayed calm with thin high stratus cover
and temps in the -14 range.

TEG / Propane Status
	2 full bottles.

Gps Location:	75:24:21.48
		-144:33:32.09

Gill Sonic:  Carl Friehe's R2 sonisc s/n 112 (?i think) was installed

Compass/Gill Orientation:
	The physical alignment of the gill and the electronic compass both
	are pointing in the same direction: toward the mast as viewed from
	the hygrothermometer.   At the present time, this is looking pretty
	close to due west.
	Compass reading = 228.96
	Adjusted for Dec= 266.66  (ie declination = 38 which is consistent)

Station Orientation:
	The 4-component system is directly south of the station at the
	present time.  The sled is pointing towards the station and about
	10-m to the WSW.  The sun shadows will be longer from there but
	the scientific need is to obtain the maximum readings which will
	be more likely from due south.

Rad. Level: x=-.23, y=.1

Station 3 was setup today, Sunday 12-Oct-97.

It is approximately 2 miles east of the ship on smooth first year ice
that is surrounded by older, hummocky ice.  There is about 2cm of snow
cover.
The weather held off nicely with low wind, partial sun and thin high
stratus cover.  Temps did drop into the -20 range.

TEG / Propane Status
	2 full bottles.

RF / LOS / Remote Console Problem
	Station Data is getting into the packet files, but the first
	attempt at remote console didn't work.  More careful typing
	might allow this operation.
	The ship's stack or perhaps the rear mast, appears to be
	slightly blocking the view of this station even though it is
	clearly in sight from the bridge area.

Caution: Logger connection
	The logger wasn't coming in at first.  The RJ45 connector on
	the electronics box power/connector panel was a bit loose.
	This could possibly happen again during a station move.


Gill Sonic:  NCAR asymmetric R2A sonic s/n 119 (?i think) was installed.

Compass/Gill Orientation:
	The physical alignment of the gill and the electronic compass both
	are pointing in the same direction: toward the mast as viewed from
	the hygrothermometer.   At the present time, this is looking pretty
	close to due west.
	Compass reading = 226.38
	Adjusted for Dec= 264.28  (ie declination = 38 which is
					consistent)
	Hand compass (with 38 decl) alignment of TRH xarm = 265


Station Orientation:
	The 4-component system is directly south of the station at the
	present time.  The sled is pointing away from the station and about
	10-m to the WSW.  The sun shadows will be longer from there but
	the scientific need is to obtain the maximum readings which will
	be more likely from due south.

Rad. Level: x=1.2, y=2.8
	NOTE: The electronic level was considerable off for this
	station.  A buble level confirmed visual inspection.  The
	readings shown represent the values after leveling with the
	bubble.

Hardware:
	The sawhorse was extremely difficult to setup because the legs
	were totally frozen in the tubing.  It took considerable
	effort to pound, screw, etc. them out.

	NOTE: it appears the bending of the sawhorse arrangement and
	the flex in the configuration may wobble the legs and cause
	movement, perhaps in high winds.

Station 2 was setup today, Tuesday 12-Oct-97.

It is approximately 2 miles south of the ship on rough ice.

The weather is continuing to hold off with low wind, partial sun and thin
stratus cover.  Temps did drop into the -20 range.

TEG / Propane Status
	2 full bottles.
	Removed the vent insulation and cover plate after seeing the
	other stations last night getting too warm inside.

RF / LOS / Remote Console
	Station Data is getting into the packet files, and the remote
	console seems to be working quite well.

Gill Sonic:  ETL asymmetric R2A sonic s/n

TRH:	s/n 4	-18.9C, 83%

Compass/Gill Orientation:
	The electronic compass is oriented with its 'north' point back
	towards the mast as viewed from the hygrothermometer.
	At the present time, this is looking close to due west.
	Elec. Compass reading = 226.85
	   Adjusted for Dec   = 264.45  (ie declination = 38 )
		Note difference between this and the hand-held compass:
	Hand compass	      = 275	(with 38 declination)

	The alignment of the gill is oriented with it's 'north'
	axis pointing correctly: essentially north, along/parallel
	with its xarm.   It is within compass accuracy of 90-deg from
	the trh xarm: 275+90 = 5-deg.

Station Orientation:
	The 4-component system is directly south of the station. 
	The sled is pointing toward the station and about 10-m to the
	ESE.  The sun shadows will be longer from there but
	the scientific need is to obtain the maximum readings which will
	be more likely from due south.

Logger / 4-Comp.:	s/n 3
	Rad. Level: x=.84, y=.94
	We didn't attempt to correct these readings or confirm them
	with the bubble level in order to not disturb the snow.
	Visually these numbers seemed reasonable. 
	We used conduit to put the surface cables up most of the
	sawhorse leg.

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.

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

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

~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

SONICS: At 0930 AST a down spike in sample% for all three stations. This was
probably due to the loading of new software on Pampoll.Except for an early 
period for Atl sample% were 100 for all three stations
u and v all stations OK

			4/11 removed wind gen. which was causing monitor

			there is a question about the 'earth' ground
			and internal wiring because of difference between
			unit NCAR wired per instructions and ABS Alaska did.
	   All stations with PV are showing some charging via that
			generally appears to be about .36-A per

VOLTAGES:  OK, except Baltimore failed and Jeff jury rigged it 
		by bypassing the battery.  So Baltimore voltages show down
		but station is running. 


DATA:     Atl Sea  Balt Fla OK

LEADS:    No new leads, but lead east of Seattle (really, just a crack)
		continues to be active.

5/15/98 1600 - 5/16/98 1600 GMT


CURRENT WEATHER:  Windy (from the east), thin clouds,
		temperature -6.5 C at 7:35 a.m. local.  Drifting snow last
		evening.      

BASE:	pampoll up, SHEBOP up 

STATIONS:  Atl:  Up,	
	   Sea:  Up
           Bal:  Up
	   Fla:  Up

SONICS:	  All OK, though w's at Baltimore and Florida continue to show averages
		that are not zero.  I checked the alignment of the sonic at
		Baltimore yesterday, and it was level to my eye.
		
RADIOMETERS:  Frost-free at Baltimore and Seattle yesterday and surely
		everywhere else.		

VOLTAGES:  OK, especially Baltimore, where we substituted the new battery box
		and adjusted the output of the wind generator yesterday.

DATA:     Atl, Sea, Balt, Fla OK

LEADS:    No new leads in the immediate vicinity.  The lead that was open near
		Baltimore on Wednesday is mostly closed.  The cracks east of
		Seattle are still active.  Dan and I crossed them on foot
		last evening to resupply the station with propane.  Notice,
		these cracks are east of Seattle and the winds have been
		easterly.
		
UPDATED SITE CONDITIONS:
	At Baltimore yesterday, I remeasured some of the station variables
	that I measured when we installed the station in October.
	Snow depth:  50 cm	(compared to about 5 cm in Oct)
	Ice thickness:  1.4 m	(compared to about 0.4 m in Oct)
	Height of sonic w:  2.34 m
	Height of T/RH intake:  1.43 m	
	Head-on direction for sonic:  61 degrees true (assumes 21 deg east
		declination)
	2.8 miles by snowmobile from the ship
	
COMMENTS:  With about 45 cm more snow at Baltimore and with the ATI sonic
	there rather than the Gill, the sonic anemometer is now about 1 meter
	nearer the surface than it was in the fall.  With a 15-cm path on that
	sonic, a height of 2.34 m is probably not enough to get all the 
	momentum and sensible heat flux by covariance techniques.  The rule of
	thumb I use is that the instrument height must be 20 time the path
	length.

5/16/98 1600 - 5/17/98 1600 GMT


CURRENT WEATHER:  Windy (from the east), thin clouds,
		temperature -7.5 C at 7:54 a.m. local time,
		pressure continues to rise, 1018.2 mb.
		
BASE:	pampoll up, SHEBOP up 

STATIONS:  Atl:  Up
	   Sea:  Up
           Bal:  Up
           Fla:  Up

SONICS:	  All OK.

TSOIL:  Erratic behavior of Tsoil at Atlanta.  It's much more variable than
	at the other sites.

T/RH:	Erratic behavior of relative humidity sensor at Baltimore.  Values
	vary from 50 to 96%, while all the other sensors hover around 90%.
		
VOLTAGES:  OK

DATA:     Atl, Sea, Fla OK.  Data interruption at Baltimore at about
		1200 GMT on the 17th, reason unknown to this reporter

LEADS:    No new leads in the immediate vicinity.
		
UPDATED SITE CONDITIONS:
	At Seattle, I documented some of the station variables.
	This site is surrounded by newly broken ice but, according to the
	ice guys, is on a multiyear floe 2-2.5 m thick.
	Snow depth:  19 cm (which seems thin if the floe is multiyear)	
	Height of sonic w:  2.87 m
	Height of T/RH intake:  1.81 m	
	Head-on direction for sonic:  4 degrees true (assumes 22 deg east

BASE:	pampoll up, SHEBOP up 

STATIONS:  Atl:  Up
	   Sea:  Up
           Bal:  Up
           Fla:  Down after a propane change last evening.

SONICS:	  All OK.  Cleared light rime from Florida yesterday morning (about
	1800 GMT), but the transducer faces were clear.  Wind and sun likely
	cleared other sites naturally, since the higher reaches of our main
	met tower became frost-free as the day progressed.
	
RADIOMETERS:  Also cleared light rime from up-looking pyranometer at Florida
	yesterday morning.  Radiometers agreed that at midday yesterday,
	solar flux was over 500 watts per square meter
	
TSOIL:  Erratic behavior of Tsoil at Atlanta.  It's much more variable than
	at the other sites.  Perhaps water is infiltrating the ice-snow
	interface.

T/RH:	Erratic behavior of relative humidity sensor continues at Baltimore.
	Values vary from 50 to 96%, while all the other sensors hover around
	90%.
		
VOLTAGES:  OK, except at Florida.

DATA:  Atl, Sea, Balt OK.  Florida not transmitting; unknown whether it's
	collecting.

LEADS:    No new leads in the immediate vicinity.
		
UPDATED SITE CONDITIONS:
	At Florida I documented some of the station variables.
	This is a picturesque site on multiyear ice that is reported to be
	roughly 2.5 m thick.  There is broken (i.e., rough) ice to the west
	and north and fairly smooth ice to the east; the camp starts 100 m to
	the south but has a fairly low profile now.
	Snow depth:  32 cm 	
	Height of sonic w:  3.42 m (Gill sonic)
	Height of T/RH intake:  1.88 m	
	Head-on direction for sonic:  7 degrees true (assumes 22 deg east
		declination)
	1/2 mile by snowmobile from the ship

STATIONS:  Atl:  Up
	   Sea:  Up
           Bal:  Up
           Fla:  Up.

SONICS:	  All OK. 

RADIOMETERS:  Cleaned light frost off up-looking short-wave radiometer at
	Florida, also at main-camp instrument.  So other sites likely also
	had frost early that cleared naturally in the sun. 

T/RH:  Still errratic low-humidity spikes of duration, typically, one hour
	at Baltimore
		
VOLTAGES:  OK

DATA:  Atl, Fla, Sea, Balt OK. 

LEADS:  No new leads in the immediate vicinity.

5/20/98 1600 - 5/21/98 1600 GMT


CURRENT WEATHER:  Light winds; thick fog in last 10 hours;

SONICS:	  Spotty in last 10 hours, presumably riming.

RADIOMETERS:  No frost at Florida yesterday morning, though in-camp, up-looking
		pryanometer was lightly frosted.
		
VOLTAGES:  OK

DATA:  Atl, Fla, Sea, Balt OK. 

LEADS:  No new leads in the immediate vicinity.  But the crack enroute to
	Seattle remains active.  Couldn't reach Seattle yesterday because the
	floes had come back together and depressed the trail below sea level;
	it was flooded.	

5/21/98 1600 - 5/22/98 1600 GMT


CURRENT WEATHER:  Light winds; a few high, thin clouds;
		temperature -8.5 C at 7:52 a.m. local time;
		pressure high, 1032.8 mb.
		
BASE:	pampoll up, SHEBOP up 

STATIONS:  Atl:  Up
	   Sea:  Up
           Bal:  Up
           Fla:  Up

SONICS:	  All OK.  Some riming up to 2000 on May 21.  Cleared this from
	Florida, Seattle, and Atlanta.  Data missing from Atl and Sea for
	1600-1900 on the 21st because heaters there do not seem to be working.
	
RADIOMETERS:  No rime on Florida, Atlanta, and Seattle radiometers.
	

T/RH:	The erratic behavior of the relative humidity sensor at Baltimore
	seems to be diurnal.  For the few hours around solar noon, we see
	humidity periodically falling to about 50%, while it behaves
	well at other times.
 		
VOLTAGES:  OK

DATA:  All OK

LEADS:  No new leads in the immediate vicinity.
		
UPDATED SITE CONDITIONS:
	Here are updated site variables for Atlanta.
	This site is on multiyear ice.  There are many new ridges to the
	north and northeast, starting within 100 m of station.  The ice is
	fairly smooth in the other directions.
	Snow depth:  30 cm 	
	Height of sonic w:  2.22 m 
	Height of T/RH intake:  1.27 m	
	Head-on direction for sonic:  86 degrees true (assumes 22 deg east

SONICS:	  All OK. 
	
RADIOMETERS:  No rime on Florida on the morning of the 22nd (about 1800 GMT)
	although light rime on the main-camp instruments.  For the last few
	days, all the pyranometers have been consistently showing an incoming 
	shortwave flux around solar noon in excess of 600 W/m**2.  Really!
	The snow was wet enough late yesterday that I could make a good
	snowball.	

T/RH:	Still erratic behavior of the relative humidity sensor at Baltimore,
	although not as prevalent in the last 24 hours.
 		
VOLTAGES:  OK

DATA:  Atl, Sea, Fla OK.  Some weird glitches in the data from Baltimore between
	1600 and 2000 GMT on the 22nd.  Will investigate further.

RADIOMETERS:  OK

T/RH:	Swapped T/RH and compass at Baltimore.  Relative humidity now seems
	OK, and we did not goof up the temperatures or compass in the switch.
	All the stations reported temperatures above 0 deg C for an hour or so
	yesterday afternoon (roughly 2300 GMT on the 25 to 0000 on the 26th).
 		
VOLTAGES:  OK

DATA:  Atl, Balt, Sea, Fla all OK. 

LEADS:  No new leads in the immediate vicinity.  And the 2.8-mile snowmobile
	trail to Baltimore was surprisingly intact.

5/26/98 1600 - 5/27/98 1600 GMT

SONICS:	  All OK.  Heaters on in last 4 hours at Sea and Balt; not at
	Atl or Fla.
	
RADIOMETERS:  OK

T/RH:	T/RH at Baltimore now agrees with other stations and shows none of
	the dropouts.  We considered the exposure problem there, but the only
	real difference is the height above the snow.  It`s closer than at
	Seattle and Florida but not as close as Atlanta's T/RH.
 		
VOLTAGES:  OK.  Box temperature at Florida about 5 deg C.

DATA:  Atl, Balt, Sea, Fla all OK. 

LEADS:  No new leads in the immediate vicinity, but the lead 100 m north of
	Atlanta is still somewhat active.  We visited Atlanta yesterday and
	saw ridging of the new ice in the lead and some water (or newly
	frozen ice) standing on the surface.  From the bridge this morning,
	I could see open water around the border of the floe, about 1-2 miles
	away, to the west, north, and east.

5/27/98 1600 - 5/28/98 1600 GMT

T/RH:  OK.  Temperatures hovering around zero; relative humidity 98% and
	greater.  
 
VOLTAGES:  OK.

LEADS:  Dave and I made it to Seattle yesterday morning on a thread of a bridge.
	Yesterday evening that Seattle lead had reopened again.  It's about
	150 m south of Seattle, a few meters wide, and was impassible this
	morning (to check out Seattle, the polar bear this morning had to
	swim it).  There is also a larger lead system north of Seattle, maybe
	300 m, that extends east all the way beyond Atlanta.  There also seems
	to be new open water west of Baltimore.

	I've reported PAM site variables occasionally in some of the daily
status reports.  I thought it might be useful to summarize all those variables
in one table.  The date noted refers to the time of the compass readings for
sonic heading and bearing from ship.

SITE CHARACTERISTICS

ATLANTA:  Multiyear ice; rough north and northeast starting with refrozen lead
	100 m north of the station.
	
BALTIMORE:  First-year ice; was a big lead last fall; refrozen lead and rougher
	ice southeast; fairly smooth elsewhere.
	
FLORIDA:  Multiyear floe; major ridge 200 m west; refrozen lead and ridging
	200 m north; very smooth east; camp 100-500 m south, though low profile
	for nearest 200 m.
	
SEATTLE:  As if in a fortress; rimmed 100-200 m in all directions with ridges

Pampoll had stopped passing data to Shebop at about 0530 local.  Pampoll was
locked up so I had to reboot.  After reboot, pampoll locked up again so I had
to reboot a second time.  Balt., Fla., and Maui caught up to 0900 local on the
Shebop graphs, however found that pampoll was locked up at 1300 local (aug. 8)
 and that
none of the graphs had been updated in Shebop since 0900 local.  Rebooted 
pampoll, maui caught up to 1330, and Fla. started data at 1330.  Balt. and
Atlanta did not respond.  (Both Fla. and Maui stopped updating to Shebop at
1530 local.)  Tried to sign on to stations from Pampoll, the minuite that I
typed eve_console , I started getting lines of data scrolling by that
began with TRH003.  After some detective work I tracked this problem down to
the fact that Alanta was stuck in some kind of transmit mode transmitting this
TRH line, therefore not letting any of the stations to transmitt back to Pam
poll.  Went to Alanta this evening (aug. 8) and rebooted eve.  Alanta stopped
transmitting this TRH line and all other stations have started reporting.  

Snow Surface:  Temperatures rose overnight, snow/ice surface has softened up
conciderably overnight.

LEADS:  Lead north of Florida stayed opened wide yesterday and lead near Maui   closed somewhat.  

WATER PONDS: Getting slightly wider overnight with the warmer temepratures.
Most melt ponds have lost their thin ice cover.

VOLTAGES: OK 

MELT PONDS:  All covered with a dusting of snow

LEADS:  Lead just north of Maui remains open. 

RIDGES:  No new ridges.

SURFACE:  Got a little darker yesterday as the high temperature and blowing
	snow wetted the surface and preferrentially reexposed the melt ponds.
	
SUMMARY:  The weather has us grounded for a third day.  We really need to get
out to find Baltimore because the ice has covered a lot of ground in the last
three days.  It may not be where we last saw it.  We can currently get
to Maui only by helicopter, too.  So the problems we are seeing there may not
get the attention they deserve either.  We crossed 80 deg North yesterday
evening.

MELT PONDS:  Snow covered but slushy

LEADS:  Lead just north of Maui closed, but several-kilometer-long lead opened

RIDGES:  We saw from the bridge this morning that the lead at Maui, which
	was 100 m wide two days ago had closed and there was obvious ridging.
	The station configuration had obviously changed appearance.  See the
	site Visit_Log.

SURFACE:  Snow firmed up over night but was still slushy in the low spots, where
	seawater probably has infiltrated under the weight of the new snow.
