soviet instrument archiving started 
 

archiving stopped for ussr 
 

Soviet archiving started 
 

sonic.4m.uw, t.4m, q_h20_uv.4m.uw shut down at about 1700 to install ir_sssf 
 

ussr archiving started 
 

archiving restarted for the hotwire 
 

HIGH WINDS! Winds have been steaadily increasing this 
afternoon, presently peaking at about 18 m/s. For much  
of the early part of the day we had many people out in 
the field, with vissiturs and people working on the 
NOAA sonic and Vim climbing on the uw tower, and Nappo 
driving his truck out just west of the towers. Starting 
at 21:17 GMT we had everyone cleared out of the tower 
area. Insrtument update: ATI u,v are spiking in the high 
winds.(Gary from ATI helped treshold the 13m ATI about 
noon, but it`s now spiking wildly again). However, the 
w components all look good. T's are all out on the uw tower,  
but good on the ATI. P's all look good. Haven't been 
able to look at the hot wire to see if it's still 
good---no one can get SPEC to work. If we can de-spike 
the ATI u,v we may be able to get the full TKE budget. 
Sskies are about 2/8 clouds, mostly fair weather cu. 
 

Soil moisture for 6 October  
 
Soil samples were taken in the early afternoon on Saturday, 
6 October. This was before any precipitation. The results are: 
 
      0-3cm    3-10cm   10-30cm 
       
      1.7%     7.7%      14.4% 
 

ati.4m#284#08:00:06 has some garbage in it. 
Look at it with data_stats before using, 
it will need a bit of editing to remove  
junk at the beginning. 
 
 
 

file system filled up, but caught quickly, 
some data files at this time may have glitches  
in them. 
 

NOAA sonic stopped sending data 
for about 2 hours - from 12:33 to 14:35. 
 

looks like archiving for marigold stopped  
at 22:43 on jd 286 - this is about the time 
that xgc raised havoc with the system. At 
that time system use of the cpu went to over  
50%. It looks like the marigold archiver shutdown  
at this time. 
 
 

psyc.15m moved to psyc/ yesterday about 2200 GMT 
 
 

psyc.15m#296#22:00:08 has some garbage in it 
 

gill#296#22:00:08 has some garbage in it 
 

ati.4m#297#06:00:02 has bad sample in it 
 

ati.4m#297#16:00:00 has some garbage in it 
 

glitch in marigold analog 
 
There is a glitch in all marigold analog data at  
1831 when the analog cards were disconnected to change 
the level sensor gain/offset jumpers. 
 

no marigold serial data 308:2139 to 309:1630 
 
marigold serial card did not reboot properly  
yesterday; just noticed that we were not  
getting serial data from the ati sonics and the 
serial pressure sensors. Analog data was 
collected. 
 

ingestors (and archive) stopped at 1238GMT 
 

data archive restarted at 1708
