KRYPTON CALIBRATIONS: 
 
	Below is calibration and A/D channel 
assignments for the Krypton sensors. 
 
sensor		S/N		calibration 
 
q_h2o.ati.4m	1101		path  = 1.006 
				Kw    = -.118 
				Ln(V) = 8.055827 
 
q_h2o.ati.10m	1133		path  = 1.354 
				Kw    = -.147 
				Ln(V) = 8.564874 
 
NOTE: the calibration parameters are for the 
dry vapor range. 
 
A/D settings: 
 
sensor		channel		gain/offset 
 
q_h20.ati.4m	102		1/- 
q_h20.ati.10m	103		1/-

KRYPTON at 4m: 
 
	The Krypton at 4m was disconnected 
to see if it was the cause of spiking on 
the 4m ati sonic. Unfortunately it was not 
the cause of the spiking. 
Time disconnected: ~18:00 GMT 
Time connected: 18:27 GMT

10m KRYPTON REMOVED: 
 
	THe 10m krypton was removed this 
morning in preparation to install the 
10 m sonic.

Cleaned krypton hygrometer connectors at the boom - 
disconnected them, blew moisture out, and 
reconnected them. 
 
Charlie first did this to the 4m sensor, and the 
specific humidity reading came back on scale gradually 
over about 30 minutes. 
 
He then cleaned the 10m krypton connector and its 
reading gradually came on scale.

looking at cockpit, I see a ghost in q_h2o.ati.4m  
where the reading went very high (offscale - above 
15), and then came back down to normal over the 
course of about a minute. Operation looks normal right 
now though. 
 
 
111: KRYPTON , Site none, Wed 19-Feb-1992 19:22:58 GMT, Changed krypton hyg. calibration
Changed krypton hygrometer calibration function (q_kh20_2a.c) 
so that it outputs 0. when the voltage was <=0.  Previously, 
it was only screening values < 0., before it took the log(). 
 I believe this was the source of the "log SING" errors on 
the aster console, and the -Inf's and NaN's in the covars.  
 
The 0 voltages were being generated by the misperforming 
hygrometers. 
 
This necessitated shuting down and restarting the covars.
