- 186: Soil, Site All, Wed 23-May-2007 12:02:35 MDT, Change of Qsoil calibration to mineral soil
Alan suggests changing the Qsoil calibration from
Qsoil = 0.000695*Vqsoil(mV) - .29
to that for mineral soils, which is
Qsoil = 0.00119 * Vqsoil - .401.
Thus the archived data should be changed by
Q.new = 1.7122 * Q.old + 0.0955
- 185: Radiometers, Site West_Lower, Tue 15-May-2007 15:02:51 MDT, Horizontal Rnet at wl had wrong coefficients
2/9/07:
I decided to use west lower as the radiation system for CHATS and did a check
of the coefficients. I notice an error in the values used for the horizontal Q7.They had coefficients of 8.57 (+) and 10.53(-). The values should have been
9 (+) and 11.22 (-). I am assuming that the Q7 locations were not changed
during setup.
- 184: Sonic, Site All, Tue 01-May-2007 16:52:41 MDT, magnetic declination

- 182: Radiometers, Site All, Mon 09-Apr-2007 14:08:40 MDT, Licor shadowband sensors
During METCRAX 2 Licor pyranometers were used in a shadowband mode at the rim
site and the floor site. These sensors were sent back to Licor for
calibrations after the project. Below are the results of those calibrations.
During the calibration Licor noticed a scratch on the diffuser of PY7122.They
went ahead and repaired the sensor before any calibration. This resulted in
a major calibration change for this sensor. Therefore, the pre-project
calibration should be used for this sensor.

I have created a cal file for wu named P.2m.wu under dir METCRAX/ISFF/cal_files/P.2m.wu. Included are the removal of random dropouts of the data.
Everything else looks good at all stations.
- 166: Data, Site All, Mon 20-Nov-2006 15:57:44 MST, merge and new 5 minute statistics
The METCRAX dataset has been merged from
the separate flr_*,el_*, etc files into
isff_YYmmdd_HHMMSS.dat files.
The 5 minute statistics have been re-computed. All
the data in $ISFF/projects/METCRAX/ISFF/netcdf is
from the new run.
Known issues:
The nidas code can't yet do time-dependent calibrations
so the wrong cal coefficients were used at floor
and rim for some periods.
floor: krypton 1101 was at 2m initially, then replaced on Oct 9
by #1397. New statistics used the cal coeff for 1397 for
the entire project. Therefore the kh2o.2m data up to Oct 9
was computed with the wrong coefficients.
rim: krypton 1397 was initially at rim. It was removed on Oct 9
and then on Oct 20, 1394 was installed at rim.
New statistics were computed with 1397 cal coefs for the
entire time. Therefore the kh2o.3m data after Oct 9 was
computed with the wrong coefficients.

10/31/06: A final quick summary:
On site: Steve Oncley, Kurt Knudson, Chris Golubieski. We expect AJ to arrive
today.
IOP#7 ended with a whimper. 3 of Dave's people spent the night in the crater,
but only got 9 soundings with one tethersonde (as opposed to over 100 with 3
sondes during earlier IOPs) because of high winds. Our tower data didn't see
drainage flows develop.
Dave has now declared the end of operations. He has spent the morning tearing
out many of his "Hobos" and the 3 who were in the crater have been packing up
their tent.
Thus, ISFF has started teardown. sw is completely down and packed now. We also
went into the crater this morning and helped Sebastian start to remove sensors
from the radiative flux divergence tower at floor. [While there, we also
installed TP01 cabling in "flr"'s logger to be able to get 2 days of Csoil
values.]
Our understanding is that Lou was going to start dismantling the ISS radiosonde
system after this morning's 9AM sounding was complete.
Minor problem:
For the second day in a row, "covar" crashed on wl causing missing values in last night's web plots. restarting the adam data collection worked to get the
values updated again. Local storage of raw data appears to have been continuous
(no data were lost).

We have just discovered that the wiring to the Amp connector inside the logger
box for the TP01 is completely missing, thus we have never acquired data from
this sensor for METCRAX. My guess is that the wiring might have been removed
from this box to fix another box during either TREX or CuPIDO and never
replaced. We plan to put another logger box at this site tomorrow and thus
get 2 days of good data before flr's teardown.
- 154: Radiometers, Site , Mon 30-Oct-2006 11:09:53 MST, radiometer [post posting]
On September 28, Dave Whiteman requested the re-orientation of five
sawhorses -- floor, lower and upper east, and lower and upper west. The
remaining two were not adjusted -- the rim and the sodar site. The floor
sawhorse was moved to the northeast to reduce reflections from the salt
pan that was to the south of its original position. Adjustments to the
slope sawhorses were made as follows. First, we oriented the sawhorse
rails to an azimuth angle parallel to the fall line of the crater
sidewalls above the site, considering the fall line on a large scale
that was representative of the crater as a whole (i.e, ignoring any
local topography under the sawhorse). Secondly, we adjusted the
inclination angle of the rail so that it was parallel to the general
slope of the sidewall at that elevation, ignoring any local wrinkles in
the underlying topography. Thus, we think that the radiometers on the
sawhorses are now oriented so that they are parallel to the underlying
large-scale slope of the crater sidewalls.
We shot the azimuth and inclination angles of the slope site sawhorses
and got some GPS readings, as follows:
site, azimuth, inclination, lat, long, elevation

- 146: Sonic, Site Rim, Fri 27-Oct-2006 16:04:41 MST, rim boom angles
I've just tried the "theodolite-GPS" method of shooting the boom angles:
1. use the theodolite telescope to locate a postion aligned with the boom
2. walk with the GPS towards the tower, watching the heading
3. walk the reverse heading back to the theodolite
4. note the lat/lon of the theodolite.
Due to the heat, I couldn't get a good view of the sonic boom. I guessed
that, when it disappeared from view along the road east of the base, I was
still had a bit further east to go to be along the boom. At that point,
the walked heading was 001/181, lat/lon was 35d 00.871'N, 111d 01.753'W.
Thus, this estimate would be 181-1?deg for the boom angle.
I also used this method to shoot the prop angle. This I was more confident
of since I was closer, and it was later in the day with less heat.
The walked heading was 91/271, lat/lon was 35d 01.774'N, 111d 02.130'W.
(The GPS said its error in both cases was 5m.)
The, this estimate would be 271deg, which is close to perpendicular to 180deg
of the sonic (and amazingly close to cardinal 270deg!)
The lat/lon reported by the station is 35d 01.767'N, 111d 01.749'W. If the
boom angles were exactly 180 and 270, my prediction of the station lat/lon
would be 35d 01.774'N, 111d 01.753'W, which is off by only 0.007'N, 0.004'W
or ~14m, or off in boom angle by about 1 degree over these distances. Thus,
I think 181/271 should be used.

Tom asked that this be put into the records:
During the installation phase there was the need to move some of the
sawhorses. This required the reinstalltion of soem soil sensors.
The following was done.
On Sept 29 the floor soil samples were install
On Sept 28th, the soil sensors at West Upper were moved and reinstalled.
No other sensors were removed and installed due to the change in the sawhorse
location.

it going through this, but apparently the station voltage dropped to 11.4V

died at about 1245 and still not back up. The hard-wired logger does respond

- 127: Prop_Vane, Site Rim, Wed 25-Oct-2006 10:02:23 MST, Prop test at Rim
The prop test at rim was a success. There was very good agreement between the
~3m unit and the sonic. We will move the 3m prop up to the 10m height.
NOTE: It is too windy this afternoon to change lower the PAM mast. Will try to
do it first thing in the morning.
- 126: TRH, Site Floor, Wed 25-Oct-2006 09:14:54 MST, TRH.sht.5m dead
The 5m SHT sensor died last night. This the unit that does not have the solar
panel. So a full set of 3 AA batteries lastest about 1 week. A new solar
panel unit will be installed hopefully today.

- 124: Prop_Vane, Site Rim, Tue 24-Oct-2006 16:54:32 MST, 2.8m(?) prop at rim
Since there is not an IOP going on we decided to run a test at rim.
The 10m prop is consistantly reading lower than the 3m sonic so we mounted
another prop at about 2.8m. The prop data now is at the lower height (decided
to use ttyS4 since it was configured correctly). If the lower prop and sonic
agree then we will move the lower prop to the 10m height.
NOTE: the boom angle was not set therefore direction is bad!
This visit took place from 15:30 to 14:15 local time.
- 123: Radiometers, Site East_Upper, Tue 24-Oct-2006 15:26:51 MST, logger wires broke
While turning off the logger for RF testing, the power wires broke at the
switch. I shoved them back in, but this wiring needs to be redone.
- 122: Network, Site , Tue 24-Oct-2006 15:04:35 MST, RF interference test
We finally tried the test of network interference from the loggers.
From about 1100 to 1300, we progressively turned off the loggers and
receiving Xbee radios at wl, el, and eu. (flr and wu are hardwired)
rim was still running.
Using simply "ping aster" (from both eu and el), I saw no difference --
usually about 5ms, but some much longer (130-480ms). We restarted the
loggers in the reverse order.
- 121: Radiometers, Site East_Lower, Tue 24-Oct-2006 14:38:02 MST, Battery change at logger EL
Steve and I decided to change the logger battery at EL to see if it is causing
the logger outages during the middle of the day. This took place during a
crater visit between 11:30 and 13:00 local time.
- 120: Sonic, Site East_Lower, Tue 24-Oct-2006 10:21:10 MST, .5m sonic down at EL
The .5m sonic went down last night around 16:00 local time. Was able to get
it going again by logging in to LE, sr 5, and typing a "D".
- 119: Prop_Vane, Site Rim, Tue 24-Oct-2006 09:22:12 MST, Prop head replaced at rim
This work took place on Oct 23.
After replacing the sonic at rim, it was noted that the prop speed was
consistently lower than the sonic. When replacing the sonic Steve O. noticed
that the prop head bearings sounded rough. So replaced the prop head.
Mast down approximately between 11:00 and 12:00.
- 118: Sonic, Site Rim, Tue 24-Oct-2006 09:18:48 MST, sonic replacement at rim
This event took place on Oct 22.
The sonic at rim was replaced with the PSU sonic 376. A serializer was mounted
in this unit since the NCAR sonic from wl failed to work.
This work took place between 12:00 and 13:00.

Steve S. downloaded data from all crater sites this afternoon (while I ran
around and took soil cores). With the download of rim earlier this afternoon,
we did every site except sw.
- 115: Station_Visit, Site Rim, Sun 22-Oct-2006 13:32:14 MST, site visit (mast down)
Visited rim to:
- exchange sonics (earlier visit by Steve S. retrieved sonic electronics with
serializer, which was swapped into PSU 376 in the base).
- data download
- shoot boom angles (sonic: 358, prop 108 -- clearly something is wrong --
probably compass dip angle)
- measure heights of TRH (89.5" from roughly ground to top of boom) and
GPS (roughly 48" above local ground)
- Prop-vane bearing is a bit "growly", but seemed okay
Mast down about 12:20-12:45.
- 114: Sonic, Site Rim, Sun 22-Oct-2006 11:04:41 MST, testing of PSU 376
The PSU sonic that we are about to install at rim is reading in a shipping box
with foam cut-out
-1.0 cm/s U
+0.7 cm/s V
-1.0 cm/s W
(values are approximate, read from the CSI plot using +/- 2cm/s full scale)
We think this is good enough!

- 112: Station_Visit, Site Floor, Sat 21-Oct-2006 15:54:50 MST, XML floor changed
The configuraton XML file was changed to handle the new SHT output message.
- 111: TRH, Site Floor, Sat 21-Oct-2006 15:52:48 MST, SHT output change
I changed the output message of the SHt probes so that we are collecting the
raw data for temperature and RH. This took place during our visit today, around
1:30pm.
- 110: LOG, Site Base, Sat 21-Oct-2006 15:48:29 MST, Now have 2 Pocketec copies of data
Since /data is now 100% full (just squeezed in the last downloads, I think),
we need to make space. We had one local copy of all the data on Pocketec,
and another should now be in Boulder [could someone confirm this?], so I used
another one of our "shuttle" Pocketecs to make an additional local copy.
Hopefully, this should be enough of a safety factor.
- 109: Sonic, Site West_Lower, Sat 21-Oct-2006 15:44:10 MST, wl.0.5m sonic up
We got the 0.5m sonic going today. With the Toughbook, it was possible to see
that the sonic was in fact just fine. (Too bad we lugged the other PennState
spare all the way down!!) We determined that the problem was with serial
port 5. We switched to port 16 (which was somewhat difficult to reconfigure
using just the PDA!) It turned out that the PDA cable didn't work for the
laptop, so we couldn't use the Toughbook to reconfigure. Oh well...
- 108: Soil, Site , Sat 21-Oct-2006 15:32:53 MST, gravimetric measurements
I took the first gravimetric measurements today.
Since we couldn't find the brass rings, I simply used the whole corer, which
samples deeper. With a tape measure, I tried to estimate the depth of the
core (I didn't quite get either core full). The corer without rings is about
2 1/4" diameter.
Also note that, since the TRIME battery was dead, no measurements could be
made. It is now charging back in the base.
The weight of the cores exceeds the scale range (200g), so they have been
arbitrarily split into 2 trays, hence the sum of 2 numbers below.
flr: core extracted ~1315 10/21, core depth ~3 7/8"
total weight: 130.8+165.9g = 296.7
dry: 124.5+156.7g = 281.2 (5.5%)
eu: core extracted 1332 10/21, depth ~2 3/8" [hit a rock, so couldn't go
further]
total weight: 122.9+116.8g = 239.7
dry: 118.6+112.9g = 231.5 (3.5%)
Measurements taken 10/22:
[Found brass rings, so these are 0-6cm samples. Note that the core often wasn't
full to the top when taken apart, but I'm guessing that the mass is about right
and that the soil compacted upon being cored. Nevertheless, there usually was
spillage, so bulk densities would be slightly underestimated.]
[Also had TRIME charged, so took readings coincident with the cores.]
wu: time: 1502, TRIME: 5.7%
total: 153.3g
dry: 148.9g
wl: time: 1517, TRIME: 2.2%
total: 114.0+64.9g = 178.9g

- 107: TRH, Site Floor, Sat 21-Oct-2006 09:31:48 MST, SHT data
The 5 minute averages compared to the TRH sensors are not as good as expected.
I believe this may be due to the wireless link. Each unit uses a radio talking
to a common master tied to the ADAM. The radios due not have a high level of
collision protection so some data messages may be bad. I saw this event during
lab tests. Therefore the 5 minute data may have bad data averaged in. I'll
need to look at the raw data.
- 106: TRH, Site Floor, Sat 21-Oct-2006 09:04:14 MST, SHT probes
On Wednesday, 18th, we installed 3 prototype Sensirion SHT75 temperature/
humidity probes. They are collocated with TRH sensors at .5m, 2m, and 5m
heights. The probes were mounted instide the TRH shield.
- 105: TRH, Site Floor, Fri 20-Oct-2006 18:59:41 MST, TRH fans swapped
We've seen that T.2m.flr is always higher than T.0.5m.flr, even in the day.
This usually is a symptom of a bad fan at 2m, that would cause it to read
high. We inspected these fans today, but all were working (though 2m was
quieter and seemed to have slightly less flow). Nevertheless, we decided
to swap the fans between these two sensors. This was done by Steve S. between
1200-1300. Now the profile changes as expected. (Though is 0.5m could now bee
too high/low??)
He also took advantage of the opened-up sensors to check and possibly adjust
the SHT75 sensors he installed yesterday (or was it the other way around?)
- 104: Sonic, Site Rim, Fri 20-Oct-2006 18:28:35 MST, Re-installed rim sonic
We reinstalled the rim sonic (6xx) late this afternoon. The mast would have
been down from about 16:15-17:15. We also installed krypton 1394 with it.
(I note that the config now shows 1397 for this site, but 1397 probably is
being used in the crater instead of 1101, which is in the base with a "bad"
label.
Unfortunately, the data for this sonic seems bad despite its working this
morning at wl.0.5m and later testing in the base trailer. Perhaps it was
damaged as we packed it up without using its (heavy) shipping box, but
Steve and I are both skeptical of this hypothesis. We're not sure what
action to take to remedy this problem. The symptom is that it reports some
values, but with a status nibble of "8" for about 5 seconds, then reports
values of all 8000 with a status nibble of "F" for another 5 seconds, then
repeats this cycle. We assume this is a "reacquire signal" cycle, due to a
weak signal.
TWH: This is s/n 673; see logbook entry 38.
- 103: Sonic, Site West_Lower, Fri 20-Oct-2006 18:23:39 MST, swapped wl.0.5m sonic
We swapped this sonic (637?) with 367 that just arrived from PennState, since
it had a serializer in it that we needed at rim. However, we couldn't
configure it and it now puts out a strange message with the status "nibble"
reporting a value of "E". I also added a strange CSATB serial sensor on
the station's copy of isff.xml (not a full config) to use an end-message
of 55ab, not 55aa.
Obviously this is a sick sonic. The other PennState loaner (376) seemed to
work much better in the trailer.
We did the swap about 11:00, but didn't get the new configuration working until
we were back in the base trailer, at about 15:30.
TWH:
The sonic removed from wl was s/n 673; see logbook entry 38.
- 102: Data, Site All, Fri 20-Oct-2006 18:22:56 MST, downloaded all site data today
See subject.
- 101: TRH, Site Floor, Fri 20-Oct-2006 09:29:42 MST, sht RH calibration problem
The SHTs give bad (high) RH values when the temperature is below zero. Steve
Semmer thinks this is an error in the unsigned math used by the PIC. We'll
see if it is correctable, but in any case won't worry about it.
- 100: Sonic, Site , Fri 20-Oct-2006 09:26:27 MST, sonic tilts
Yesterday I briefly looked at a few sonic tilt plots. Surprisingly, it appeared
that much of the data fit a plane, with tilts of 2 deg at flr, 7 deg at el,
and 20 deg at eu. I only looked at 2-3m sonics. I'll look at more values
later, but this in general was quite encouraging.

Vbatt.rad = 11.5 - 13.5 V, east lower lowest
Iload ~ 2.1-2.6 A at crater sites other than eu [3.3A]
peak Isolar ~ 12 A at crater stations, except eu
data storage:
- all sites exchanged yesterday
- aster: /data is 94% full [2G free] with only October data after yesterday's downloads
[we will delete more old data when we get acknowlegement from Gordon that data came
back via Charlie]
- local Pocketec is 65% full [20G free] with all data
- other Pocketec should have been brought to Boulder by Charlie with all data through 10/16?

- 98: Data, Site All, Wed 18-Oct-2006 11:52:48 MST, how to upload local data storage to aster and calculate covars
Plug full media into aster usb port
run copy_usbdisk.sh
click OK on window that pops up
data will be copied and removed from usb media
unplug media for future use
edit scripts/run_stats.sh to process new high rate data,
e.g. for particular stations and range of dates
run run_stats.sh
- 97: Data, Site All, Wed 18-Oct-2006 11:51:57 MST, uploaded data from sw and rim

- 96: Data, Site All, Wed 18-Oct-2006 10:08:51 MST, purged *200609* (september) data files from /data
Gordon has copied all data files to a pocketek attached to isff and Charlie has taken a 200 GB with all data to Boulder, so I deleted all September data files
from /data on aster in order to make room for new data. /data is now down to
80% full with 6.6 GB available.

It appears that the repeater quit at 8:25 again this morning. Fixed by
recyling power on the inverter at that site.

I have left a spare inverter in the base trailer (please return
to Charlie after project). If the inverter at the ap24 flakes

The power led on the etherant was on, but the
ethenet led and the wireless led were both dark.
Login over the serial connection showed that
the systems was still running and storing locally.
Power cycle on the etherant brought it right
back and on the network.
This etherant went offline at around the time
that thinderstorms were in the area. We had
a similar experience a few days ago with the etherant
at flr. Sebastion reported that they had lost
a couple of data loggers during the same period,probably
due to lightning.

Retrieved local data storage from all sites this afternoon.
- 79: Sonic, Site All, Sun 15-Oct-2006 16:22:09 MST, Boom heights, angles
Measured the sonic boom heights and azimuths. Boom heights are top of
sonic boom. The azimuths were measured with the data scope facing
into the sonic, so a sonic pointing towards S would read 0 degrees.
5/1/07:
Note that the data scope was set up with a declination of 12.2 deg E,
but the NOAA web site says 11.4 deg E. Thus need to subtract 0.8 degree
from the following data scope readings.

Visited rim and sw sites to get rad/soil sensor serial numbers
Problem summary:
eu stopped transmission at 19:45 10/13
RH bad at 3m el and eu
no sonic or kh2o at rim
no w'kh2o' in NetCDF files
u* plots very intermittent
Need to:
Measure sonic angles
Measure sensor boom heights
Take soil moisture samples with Trime and gravimetric
Archive sonic configurations
Power:
V batt = 13.5-14.0 V at crater and rim stations
Vbatt.rad = 13 V
! Iload ~ 3.2 Amps at eu, 2.2-2.6 amps at other crater sites
! peak Isolar ~ 10 amps at crater stations, except eu
USB data storage:
sw: 12% of 3.7G thumb drive
rim: 3% of 3.7G thumb drive
wu: 1% of 55G pocketek
wl: 1% of 55G pocketek
flr: 1% of 55G pocketek
el: 1% of 55G pocketek
eu: no data transmission

Tsoil: good
Qsoil:
! negative at el and ~0 at wl
Gsoil: good
! Cvsoil: not found in lookup; apparently need s/n's for cal coefficients.
kh2oV: 0.3-0.9 V
kh2o: ~ 6-9 gm/m^3 last night
w'kh2o': only seeing data from the floor station
