What's New for October 1996

  1. Online access is now available to river and rain gage data relevant to the CASES site. Check out the new CASES Instrumentation page which has links to the above data.

  2. A radar coverage map depicting the location of the Walnut watershed with respect to the WSR-88Ds at Wichita, Tulsa, Topeka and Vance AFB has been created showing the interception distances to the watershed. Data from Wichita, Tulsa and Topeka can be accessed online from this map. Efforts are underway to also bring Vance AFB online.

  3. Visit the Links page for an updated list of related web sites.

  4. Progress continues at Argonne regarding the boundary layer instrumentation.

    1. For the remote sensing site (RSS) at Oxford, KS, the City of Oxford has approved the agreement and Argonne is now awaiting approval of the FAA for installation of the 915-MHz radar wind profiler and RASS.

    2. For the RSS near Whitewater, KS, negotiations still continue with the landowner. DoE approved wording in the lease agreement with regard to the indemnification issue, and the landowner is now reviewing the wording.

    3. For both the Oxford and Whitewater RSSs, the equipement for the RWP-RASSs and minisodars is mostly assembled at Argonne and nearly ready for for deployment. Statements of work for the power, telephone, and infrastructure at the two locations were in preparation.

    4. For the central site near Augusta, KS, negotiations on the lease agreement are still continuing with regard to wording on restoring the property back to its original condition.

    5. Orders have been placed for the eddy correlation gear for two surface flux stations (SFSs). Orders have also been placed for sets of sensors for standard surface meteorological observations at the two SFSs and for the three RSSs.

    6. A slight name change from Argonne Boundary Layer Facility (ABLF) to Argonne Boundary Layer Experiments (ABLE) facility has been effected by Argonne to more accurately represent the functions of the facility.
