Thursday, September 20th, 2007 Visit:
-------------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, MP, SL

Purpose of visit: GPS hydra inlets.  do a blow test at
the inlets.  test 2-d ati.

Weather: An excellent fall day.  Calm and warm.  And
the Aspens are all turning yellow.


--------- Misc Notes:

* drove up in the CU grey jeep.

---------

* Jeff GPS'ed all inlets (file called, "towinlets").  We did
not have time to pull these data off the GPS (do next time).

* blow tests at the HYDRA inlets (rotameter set to "35"):

Monday, August 6th, 2007 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB

Purpose of visit: finish setup of HYDRA data system.

Weather: Not bad at all.


--------- Misc Notes:

* drove up in the CU SUV.

* my stomach started hurting in the afternoon...

---------

* got some cylinders organized with Kurt, ie:

 From:    Jeffrey Mark Beauregard 
 Subject: your N2 cylinders

 Hi Kurt.

 I checked on those two N2 cylinders for you. They are both full. Here are the specifics:

 cylinder #CC198690    @2000psi
 cylinder #CC243067    @2000psi

 I chained these back up with the others in front of the trailer.

 Jeff

* re-started HYDRA.  started using two of the 6L cylinders, and a zero
air cylinder in the reference cell.  Found a leak in one of the 6L
cylinders (JJ16850) and are currently leak-checking the others.

* in the afternoon we played around some more with the webcam...we
were trying to make it possible to see the sky (and indian peaks) with
the webcam.  It worked, but it's tilted quite a bit (which seems
strange).

Friday, July 27th, 2007 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, RKM, RaM, RpM

Purpose of visit: finish setup of HYDRA data system.

Weather: It threatened rain several times.  Then at around 14:00-15:00
MDT it released a deluge.  We sprinted from the tram line back to the
trailer and were all drenched.


--------- Misc Notes:

* drove up in the CU jeep.

---------

* at 11:50 MST, started collecting co2 data with HYDRA.

* lineflow set to "40".  russ setup an inlet at the CU tower (0.5 or
  1m?) and it took around 5min for his puff of air to reach us.

* time check between isff.colorado.edu and specialk (and my mac at
  home):

    isff:  Fri Jul 27 17:23:01 MDT 2007
specialk:  Fri Jul 27 17:27:11 MDT 2007

    isff:  Fri Jul 27 17:26:40 MDT 2007
     mac:  Fri Jul 27 17:30:50 MDT 2007

* connected everything to HYDRA.  The connected inlets are:

* re-zeroed HYDRA (using N2 and the JJ14766 span gas from lynette/britt).

* data files:

hydra program, "hydra_prog_como.txt".  The old program was
saved as, "hydra_prog_old.txt".

Tuesday, July 25th, 2007 Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, LL, RKM, JS, AT, RaM

Purpose of visit: work on HYDRA data system.

Weather: Around noon it was hailing/raining fairly hard and everyone
was taking shelter.  This lasted for around 1/2-hr.  After this
everything was wet, but it didn't rain hard again...


--------- Misc Notes:

* rode up in the jeep.

* andrew was doing his sampling at the CU tower.

---------

* there was a problem with one of the fitting on the profile
system...which caused a large leak in the system (discovered during
the blow tests)...it seemed to start when the dessicant was being
changed so not a big problem.  however data during this day might be a
bit off...fixed it by re-doing the swagelok fitting on the small tube
that attaches to the dessicant tube.

* Russ and Jielun were setting up the inlets for HYDRA...here is the
  info:

 From:    Russell Keith Monson 
 Subject: Re: inlets...

 Hi Sean,

 All inlets are ready to go, except the one that extends to the CU
 tower. There should be 15 currently (16 once we check the one to th e
 CU tower). The inlets should be labeled at the Hydra end and most are
 coiled and hung on trees near the Hydra. Here are the codes:

 U, Como 1 -- middle of Como Creek (short)
 U, Como 2 -- middle of Como Creek (long)
 U S 1 -- South of Como Creek (short)
 U S 2 -- South of Como Creek (long)
 U N 1 -- North of Como Creek (short)
 U N 2 -- North of Como Creek (long)
 T 1 U -- Tram tower 1 (upper)
 T 1 L -- Tram tower 1 (lower)
 T 4 U -- Tram tower 4 (upper)
 T 4 M -- Tram tower 4 (middle)
 T 4 L -- Tram tower 4 (lower)
 T 9 U -- Tram tower 9 (upper)
 T 9 L -- Tram tower 9 (lower)
 T 11 U -- Tram tower 11 (upper)
 T 11 L -- Tram tower 11 (lower)

 These are all ready for connection to Hydra. I'll be up on Friday and
 will check out the long line to the CU tower, then it will be r eady
 for hooking to Hydra by Friday midday.

 Thanks,

 Russ

179: hydra, Site hydra, Fri 02-Apr-2004 12:32:06 MST, Hydra slow sucking (night of 3/30)
On the night of 3/30 modified the hydra to sample with large pauses
between the sucks, then 3-4 quick samples to see if there is any
effect....i had everything idle when pausing...might try this again
with air sucking during "rest" period.

some details:

modified the opto 22 program to do nothing for 90 minutes then
do a bunch of samples....

05/03:  tare= 738g.  very warm today.  depth hoar starts somewhere between 20-30cm.
        layers at:  76, 65, 40 (very hard ice layer), and 25cm (below 25cm it's 
        all depth hoar).

04/25:  tare= 737g.  It snowed ~38-60cm the past 3 days.  Serious ice layer at 80cm.
        layers at:  112 (powder above here), 80 (very hard ice layer), 52 (very hard ice layer), 
        and 37cm (below 37cm it's all depth hoar).

04/19:  layers at:  85, 75, 58, 45, 40, 18cm (ET 58-85, TG below 58cm, grain size ~ 6-8mm).  Clouds are high/thin.

04/12:  tare= 742 g.  layers at:  130, 125, 100, 90, 70, 60, 40cm (ET 90-130, TG below 90cm).

04/01:  tare= 736g.  Somewhere between 30-40cm sugar snow starts.  It's been very
        warm the past few days (around 40-45F).  
        layers at:  62, 58 (very hard layer), and 41cm (below 41cm it's all depth hoar).

03/26:  tare= 735g.  Below 30-40cm is sugar snow.  We are getting toward the far
        end of our clearing...snow depth is decreasing for this reason as well as 
        melting.          layers at:  65 and 40cm

03/17:  tare= 732g.  Below 42cm all sugar snow.  Hard layer at 82cm.
