* the power was out for about 24 hours....with the long power outage,
the FAST logger did not come back up cleanly (everything else did come
back up ok)...
* was able to reload the program into the FAST logger...it was not
easy...it did not work at first (or seem to hang)...it has a message
"compling program on the logger"....I tried re-loading the OS on the
logger...twice...the only thing I did before it worked was remove the
output serial cable from the logger...I also tried to download the
data files...while I was trying this, the wind was howling and I was
worried it was going to snap the door off the FAST logger
enclosure...files when the logger starts working again:

Hi Sasha,
I was able to upload version 1.13 OS to the cr23xs and it all seemed
to go fine. A few notes (and maybe you can clarify some of this for
me):
1. in the devconfig instructions (item 1) it says that you need a
SC32B and that this needs to be connected to the CS I/O port on the
23x. I didn't have a SC32B so I was a bit worried when I read this
(being up in the mountains)...but I found that connecting to the RS232
port on the cr23x also works. These instructions might make this a
bit clearer.
2. Using *B on the cr23x i found the following information on 2 of
our data loggers (before uploading the new OS):
New Logger (purchased in Spring, 2004):
Operating System Version number = 10916
Operating System Revision number = 0018
Old Logger:
Operating System Version number = 10000
Operating System Revision number = 0010
after uploading the 1.13 OS to the cr23x (cr23x_firmware18.exe)...I
rechecked the OS and the New Logger OS had not changed at all. . .so,
it's a bit confusing as to how to convert the OS numbers from the
logger (which it seems like is version 1.0916) to version 1.13. My
original e-mail to you was asking whether or not I need to the new
OS...you said that I should upload it (see your e-mail below), but, in
fact, it seems that I already had this version of the OS running on
the new logger!! When I uploaded the new version of the OS to the Old
logger it updated the version to be the same as what was on the New
logger. This was actually the thing i needed the most...
anyway, it was a bit confusing figuring out which version of the OS is
on the cr23x from the *B keypad command...if you have some insight
into what I'm not understanding please let me know.
thanks!
SpB.

* at 15:10 MST, wiped the snow off the subcanopy rad sensors (and the
sonic and IRGAs)
* at around 15:30 MST, tried to reboot the FLIR computer (didn't seem
to work)..too windy to bring up the monitor (plus I didn't have time
for that)...
* downloaded logger data:

Friday, December 3rd, 2021 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, NH
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check FLIR computer
Weather: An amazing/rare December day. Warm, calm and not very
much snow on the ground!
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Enterprise compact (and gave Natasha a ride)
* Duane was up there pumping air. He borrowed a ladder to look at
Deans shed. Said he could not use Dean's shed for anything...but he
put the pins back in (so it won't come apart)...
*
---------
* Span cylinder at 1400 psi, N2 at 1400 psi
* Natasha did several LAI profiles on the main tower...
* downloaded the data from the tree sway sensors..both sensors are now
working so replacing the battery for the "tree2" sensor seemed to have
fixed the issues with tree2! Times:
Tree Time Unplugged Time Re-plugged in

* at around 14:00 MST, rebooted the connection for the FLIR computer
(updated software so that NAU can now connect)...notes for the
future:
- the smaller monitor did not work (might need to investigate?)
- I think you need to hold the power button down to get it to reboot...
- the "reset" button did not seem to help...
- usb keyboard worked ok....
- need a mouse!
* at approx 15:10 MST, swiped krypton hygrometer (w/ vinegar)
* from 14:40-15:45 MST, replaced 2-micron Nupro filters in LI-6262
system (both at inlet and in the box)
- before swapping, aux=-799 mV, P= 46.9 kPa
- after swapping, aux=-324 mV, P= 54 kPa

I also moved the orange box next to the NCTC logger box...It seemed
like the cable was still long enough when the trees start swaying...we
will see!!
* at 13:10 MST, removed the AmeriFlux PQS1 PAR sensor (sn 140270) from
CNR logger (diff ch 9); note, I left the mounting hardware on the
tower (to be used next summer!)
* here is the info about the AmeriFlux PAR sensor:

Friday, October 8th, 2021 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: swap LI-7200 inlet, check on things
Weather: Rather calm, clear in the morning. Then it
clouded up and threatened rain in the afternoon.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB prius
* not many people at MRS...still some fall colors.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1750 psi, N2 at 690 psi
* from 11:15-11:20 MST, swapped LI-7200 inlet assembly
* at 11:25 MST, reset the LI-7200 clock (it was approx 20s slow)
* from 11:50-12:20 MST, replaced vanes in GAST pump
* Tried NiwotSapflux_V5.4.CR1 with Dave B's CR1000 (didn't work, so
went back to NiwotSapflux_V5.2.CR1)

* I tried to add the call to the time in the main program and this
didn't seem to work...I also tried using the CU campus time server
(rather than isffa) and that also did not appear to work. Here
is my final program additions:
--------------------

Could the NL201 not be allowing access to the time server? This link/discussion,

seems to imply that the NL201 should work without problems...

Tuesday, September 28th, 2021 Visit:
-------------------------------------
At the site: SpB, TV, RC, AM
Purpose of visit: meet with Tom/Rachel for trees, download logger data
Weather: Rather calm. Clear skies in the AM, then clouds moved in and
we heard thunder at around 1:30. Some light rain.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB prius
* caught a ride up to C-1 with Rachel/Tom and a ride down with Jen M!
* walked with Rachel/Tom as the recorded the dendrometer readings
* Andrew Metz (Phd student with Julie L) met me at the tower...
---------
* Span cylinder at 1790 psi, N2 at 800 psi
* 21.5m LI-7200 fan is still a bit high, but flow still ok.
* from 9:24-9:46 MST, I swapped out the tygon inlet tubing...it did
not seem to have much effect on the flow:
* Downloaded tree sway data (Mark R). Note: Tree1 appears to be the
larger tree....tree1 had 99 files, but tree2 only had 5 files (the
battery is probably dead?)....the data are zipped as:

To-do list (Fall 2021):
========================
1. fix broken thermocouples
2. pull old forestcam boom off the tower!
3. check dave bowling program (NiwotSapflux_V5.2.CR1) for the time
server info (looks like NetworkTimeProtocol() will do this.
4. replace LI-6262 inlet tubing
5. order more REBS domes!!
6. contact KZ about a new 4-component radiation sensor?
7. order new gas cylinders!
8. correct the niwot5 phenocam focus:
Hi Andrew,
FYI: I adjusted the focus on niwot5 earlier today (3/28)....it seemed
better, but might not be perfect...we are supposed to have high winds
tomorrow so will see if it moves out of focus again...the adjustment
seemed difficult to turn so I am hoping it will stay where it
is...however, if this happens again, I'll try to use some electrical
tape to hold it in place (or, if you have a better idea, let me
know)....
I'll respond to your email about the data later this week (have not
downloaded it yet, but will later this week)...
thanks!
SpB.

-------------------------------------
At the site: SpB, NL, +
Purpose of visit: check on gas cylinders, tour of tower w/ CU class
Weather: Pleasant, sunny, with a few high clouds. The aspen leaves
are just starting to change color on the trail to the tower.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB prius
*
---------
* Span cylinder at 50 --> 1950 psi, N2 at 1020 psi
* at 10:50 MST, swapped span cylinder; old=fb03874 new=cc235665
- the span cylinder was leaking slightly because I didn't put on the
teflon tape cleanly!!....detected the leak with windex...then, redid
the teflon tape and it seemed ok...
* Confirmed 3 (empty) gas cylinders to be picked up in snowshed
* 21.5m LI-7200 fan is at max, but flow still ok
* at 12:00 MST, turned off the fan in the LI-6262 box
* Downloaded tree sway data (Mark R). The time seemed to be
very far off....tree1 had 1000 files, but tree2 only had
around 350 files....the data are zipped as:

* what to do with data from Dave Bowlings logger?....
cp db_CR1000_Table15Min_210220.dat db_CR1000_Table15Min_2020.dat
then, edit those files so they contain a year of data, ie:

Friday, August 20th, 2021 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB, SK, A
Purpose of visit: find cored trees, check LI-7200 clock
Weather: Very windy and quite chilly. There were periods
of calm weather, but mostly very windy!
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB pruis
* met Steven Kannenberg and his partner Avery at the site.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1000 psi, N2 at 1450 psi
* Steve and Avery were re-coring some of the nwC trees.
* continued to look for the trees cored in 2012...the ones I
found were:
nwB: 2,4 2,5 2,6 3,1 3,2 3,4 3,5 3,6 4,2 4,3 4,4 4,5 4,6 6,3 6,5

nwB are all found except for B6,1
* they discontinued the endomondo app, so I'm using "alltrails" to get
the GPS locations of the trees (I run it for 30 sec, but it only
gives me a single location). The ones from 8/20 are:

980: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 19-Jul-2023 09:15:24 MDT, site visit on Thursday, July 15th, 2021 (SpB)
Thursday, July 15th, 2021 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: check gas cylinders, deploy PAR sensor going to T-van..
Weather: Sunny morning. A shower/clouds in the PM (at around 3pm).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB jeep
* taking the NOLS wilderness first aid class at MRS, so went up
before class started at 8 am...
---------
* Span cylinder at 190 psi, N2 at 380 psi
* while looking at the PAR sensors, I noticed that the U of Utah
upward-looking PAR sensor was laying on its side! Looking back at the
data, I think this happened around 1 January 2020....I didn't have a
lot of time, so I used electrical tape to put it so it is now
"standing up" again (see photos). I suspect the screw that was
holding it in place, came loose...
* added the PAR-LITE sensor that was originally sent to Jielun...she
gave it to me, and I gave it to Jen to use at the Tvan towers...we
decided it would be good to have a short time side-by-side with the
sensors on the US-NR1 tower...so, I put it where the usual AmeriFlux
PAR-LITE sensor goes (on the wooden block at the top of the
tower)...it's fairly level (see photos), but not perfect....details
about this sensor:
* at approx 7:00 MST, added PAR-LITE sensor (PAR2.up) to top tower level
-------------------------------------------------

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2021 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check stuff
Weather: Partly-sunny; the snow is long gone and the ground is
crunchy-dry. It has been warm. A bit of a scent of wood-smoke in the
air....
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB prius
* como creek is now past peak flow. the flow down the far side is
also gone.
* very quiet at MRS.
---------
* Span cylinder at 350 psi, N2 at 710 psi
* moved cylinder FB03874 (LBL, span) from C-1 trailer to tower shed
* the dome on the 25m REBS sensor is cracked (full of water!); the 2m REBS sensor also has cracked dome!
* from 14:00-14:15 MST, swapped the 21.5m LI-7200 inlet assembly (flow was restricted!)
* tried again to reboot the GPS at the tower (still has an issue, contact CSI?)

Hi Steve,
I (think?) I was able to locate your instrument..is this it?
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/210623/pic00005.jpg
I didn't look for a little NCAR property tag, but hopefully this is
all you need..other photos from my trip yesterday:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/photos_210623.html
there is still quite a bit of stuff over near that snow sensor...the
triangular tower is still there (w/o a sonic)...I think that Holly
Barnard has the sap flow sensors? Not sure which of those things are
actually up and running....there are also action-packers that likely
have batteries in them...so hopefully someone is looking after this
stuff...
btw, are the data from the snow ribbon thing very interesting?
SpB.

Sensor 6 seems to be having a major problem (large fluctuations in the
flux data)....tried to connect to it and it didn't work (not
surprising)...I power-cycled it hoping this would fix it...

Friday, June 4th, 2021 Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, move cylinders, reboot GPS
Weather: Clear and sunny; all open areas are snow-free; still snow
in the forest (about 70% snow-covered, 30% open).
--------- Misc Notes:
* Enterprise SUV rental (drove to C-1)
* the road to C-1 opened up around June 1st...I was going to go on
6/2, but postponed till Fri since the weather looked better...
* como creek is ripping along....still snow-covered on the far side of
the creek...
---------
* Span cylinder at 490 psi, N2 at 1100 psi
* moved new cylinders from MRS to C-1 trailer: cc491897 (n2), cc491784
(n2), cc704247 (n2), cc178630 (span), FB03909 (LBL), FB03874 (LBL)
* moved empties from C-1 trailer to MRS snowshed: cc442238 (n2),
cc234071 (n2), cc239886 (span)
* increased the delivery pressure on the N2 cylinder by around 10? psi
* noticed that the dome on the 25m REBS sensor is cracked (full of
water!); the 2m REBS sensor also has cracked dome! I need to bring
domes with me next time and replace both!...
* at 12:00 MST, cleaned the 21.5m LI-7500a windows (w/ vinegar)
* at approx 12:05 MST, swiped krypton hygrometer (w/ vinegar)
* tried to reboot the GPS at the tower (I don't think it fixed the issue)
see notes (and emails with Gordon) for details...
* also, rebooted isffa (chrony was not coming up); first reboot in around 260 days
* the EOS FD sensors have all melted out "hollow" areas around the
sensor (see photos). [so, they have some impact on the snow
surrounding them].
* downloaded logger data:

-------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check niwot5
Weather: There is still lots of snow on the ground! Seems like around
4" of fresh over the old snow. But it feels like spring. The snow
was wet. Sunny in the AM, then clouds moved in and there was a bit of
snow.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Enterprise rental
* lots of snow at MRS! And at the site. The road to MRS was packed snow
in the AM, when I left it was slush/mud.
* needed to break trail to the tower....did not visit the mini-tower
(planned to get the EOS FD sensor data, but I ran out of time!).
* Duane was up there pumping air (had had a visitor)
---------
* Span cylinder at 700 psi, N2 at 1550 psi
* tried again to fix the niwot5 focus problem...it looks like it might
be missing a set screw (didn't find it in the enclosure)? Put some
electrical tape on it...

Saturday, February 20th, 2021 Visit:
------------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check N2 tank
Weather: Near freezing. Flurries at time and partly-cloudy.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Prius
* Jen Morse and another person passed me on snowmobiles.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1100 psi, N2 at 410 psi; decided it would
be ok to wait and swap N2 on the next visit.
* Moved span cylinder cc239886 from tower to trailer at C-1
* Put n2 cylinder cc113101 into the TGA shed (it was in front of it)
* At around 12 MST, started collecting MRS snowprobe data (plugged in MRS logger)
* Checked DB's cr1000 logger (it was fine, the network cable in the
shed was disconnected). I did a manual download of the data:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns staff 410 Feb 20 12:58 db_CR1000_DataTableInfo_210220.dat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns staff 8750351 Feb 20 13:23 db_CR1000_Table15Min_210220.dat*
* note, that many of DB's upward-looking PAR sensors are covered with
snow (I cleared them). See photos.

Hi Dave,
I just confirmed that I can still ping the 198.11.18.38 IP from
campus...I can only ping it from campus, not anywhere else (ie, not
from NCAR, home, etc)...this is now true for all the equipment/IPs I
have at the tower...and I think they no longer allow pings from
off-campus, but I could be mistaken about this....the info I have is:
Static IP Address:
Hostname:
Subnet Mask:
Gateway:
DNS Severs:
Between around 2013-15 Campbell Sci was using this IP address and Ed
Swaitek connected remotely (from Longmont, I think)...I think at that
time we removed some of the firewall rules for the 198.11.18.38 IP
address...so, I don't think the firewall is expecting a specific
IP....are you using a U of Utah campus IP similar to what you had last
year? (or is this an IP outside of campus?).....if you think the
firewall might be the issue, I will have to email the network security
folks at CU and they can check/confirm the firewall settings....
here are the two data files from the logger:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/db_CR1000_DataTableInfo_210220.dat
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/db_CR1000_Table15Min_210220.dat
thanks!
SpB.

Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2021 11:00:13 -0700
Hi Dave,
it looks like I can still ping your logger, so I am assuming you have
been able to connect and download the data from it...if you need the
data file I downloaded with a direct connection,
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns staff 8750351 Feb 20 13:23 db_CR1000_Table15Min_210220.dat*
let me know and I can put it on urquell for you to download....it
looks like this data file covers the period from 2020-03-01 to
2021-02-20....
Also, while I was waiting for the data file to get downloaded, I looked at
the upward-looking PAR sensors on your towers...as I'm sure you are aware, =
they
can have snow pile up on them...the two that are the sensors only, have
either no snow or a small amount of snow...for example:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/210220/pic00017.jpg
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/210220/pic00022.jpg
However, the ones that are closer to the trees and are mounted on a
small alumnimum plate, tend to have a lot of snow piled on top of
them....I brushed the snow off them....here are some example photos of
before/after the snow has been removed:
Before: http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/210220/pic00024.jpg
After: http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/210220/pic00025.jpg
Before: http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/210220/pic00026.jpg
Before: http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/210220/pic00027.jpg
After: http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/210220/pic00028.jpg
Before: http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/210220/pic00031.jpg
After: http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/210220/pic00032.jpg
Anyhow, wintertime data from those PAR sensors could be a bit tricky
to interpret....
I'm glad to see your logger is still up and running!

Tuesday, January 19th, 2021 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: get LI-6262 running.
Weather: Quite a bit of snow since last week; not too windy.
--------- Misc Notes:
* saw a moose along the road to MRS just past the sourdough trail
parking lot.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1400 psi, N2 at 900 psi; started using these
cylinders again.
* from 12:00-13:30 MST, replaced 2-micron Nupro filters in LI-6262
system (both at inlet and in the box)
* At 13:36 MST, started collecting LI-6262 data
* Connected the inlet heating cable the LI-7200; also replaced the usb
disk with spare
* saved the configuration files for the LI-7200 and two LI-7500a's:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns staff 4868 Jan 19 11:27 li7200_2021_0119_Configuration.l7x*

Friday, January 15th, 2021 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, get LI-6262 running (which
never happened).
Weather: Windy, a few clouds, around freezing temps.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Duane was up there pumping air...he said the winds/weather
were much worse the day before!
---------
* Span cylinder at 1400 psi, N2 at 900 psi
(the same since the cylinder valve is closed!)
* from the trailer, rebooted the LI-7200 by sending the following
command to the instrument:
(LI7200(Program(Reset TRUE)))
- the spikes in the analog data seem to be gone...
-this restored the "data" directory, but I could not delete files from
there...and there are a bunch of strange files....I'm guessing the drive
is corrupted....however, I was able to eject the drive and delete files
using my laptop....new files are being saved there and I can then download
those via sftp...ie:
* just checked and it's no longer working!!

Subject: your data logger at the Niwot site?
Hi Dave,
has the data logger you have at the US-NR1 site been working recently?
I lost contact with the tower last night at around 1am MST...when this
happens I can sometimes ping your data logger (if power is ok), ie:

Tower Visit Notes: November 1st, 2020
=====================================
1. Arrived at trailer 10:00am MST (time changed back to MST 2am this
morning). Clear, blue skies for the first time in weeks. Mild with
occasional gusty winds. Didn't see a soul all day due to site access
restrictions by the Forest Service.
2. Gast pump off and both the zero and span tanks closed by Jen on
Thursday or Friday.
3. Opened tanks to get readings: CO2 = 1400 PSI; N2 = 900 PSI. Closed
both valves on tanks after taking reading.
4. Climber tower to replace 7200 intake. Added cable ties to some
loose wires on the way up. Turned off flow motor at the 7200 control
box. Motor drive was 100%. Removed old inlet assembly. Replaced with
new, clean assembly that was located in the green shed. Secured with 3
cable ties. Fabric strap disintegrated when I tried to replace, so
discarded. Turned flow motor back on at control box and checked motor
drive flow. Now 54%. Left old 7200 intake in the green shed. Connected
laptop via Ethernet on tower to the 7200. Looked at the "diagnostics"
tab; all looked normal.
5. Downloaded data from the MET logger on main tower. Three downloads
were required. The second due to the normal "time out", and the third
because the laptop battery unexpectedly died despite being charged for
several hours the pervious day. Charged the laptop at the green shed
until reached 50% before completing download.
6. Downloaded data from the UCB logger at the subcanopy tower. Two
downloads required due to the normal "time out". Verified blue ribbon
cable was reconnected to the logger's RS-232 port.
7. Took several snow depth readings in the vicinity of the subcanopy
tower: 4,6,6,7,9 cm snow depth.
8. Downloaded data from the EOS CO2 chambers "3" and "4" at the
subcanopy tower. Summary table stated "negative fluxes 0.43% of the
time" for chamber 3 (I believe). No connection issues this
time. Returned to green shed to charge up laptop.
9. Downloaded data from the TC logger on the North canopy tower. Two
downloads required due to the normal "time out". Kept laptop plugged
in during this time.
10. Downloaded data from the "Noah" logger on the North canopy tower.
11. Downloaded data from the SOIL logger on the path to the North
canopy tower. Two downloads required due to the normal "time out".
12. Climbed back up tower to make sure 7200 inlet still secured and
motor flow rate stable. Everything looked okay. Motor flow 53%
(checked on the 7200 control box on the tower).
13. Left tower at 2:35 MST (first day back to Standard Time).

Saturday, October 3rd, 2020 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: PB
Purpose of visit: download logger data
Weather: cool, clear, calm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Peter covered the site visit while I am in Taiwan.
* looks like there are still a few leaves left on the Aspens...
---------
* Span cylinder at 1600 psi, N2 at 1250 psi
* Peter downloaded the following data files:

Tower Visit Notes: October 3, 2020
==================================
1. Arrived at tower around 11:30 AM MDT. Weather cool, calm, and clear
with smoke in the area.
2. Checked CO2 and N2 tanks:
CO2: 1600 PSI and Flow 14 PSI
N2: 1250 PSI and Flow 16 PSI
3. Everything looked normal around the shed. Climbed tower. Everything
looked normal. Opened 7200 Flow Module box. Motor felt warm but not
hot. Obvious that pump is working hard. Inspected tube and metal
filter right at the module to check for obvious blockage and to see if
removing filter decreased motor drive; Filter looked clean and removal
had no effect on motor drive. Metal filter was put back in
place. Looked at the inlets for both the 6262 and 7200 (took pictures)
without moving anything. No obvious blockages. Would have been a good
day to replace filters, but smoke is still in the area and forecasted
to remain for at least another week. Once the smoke clears, the
weather will likely turn cold and windy.
4. I found the spare 7200 inlet, and 2 Nupro filters, in the shed.
I'm not sure what to use for replacement filters once these are used.
5. Turned on Noah's CR10X on the North tower: Plugged in transformer
into power strip; turned on power strip (red light on); plugged in
power at 10X; turned "power to 12V terminal" to "on"
position. Connected and set clock. Everything appeared normal.
6. Downloaded the TC Logger. I noticed the time taken to connect was a
bit slow. Two downloads were required as procedure stopped after about
20 minutes. Set clock to PC time (difference was about 20 seconds).
7. Downloaded the SOIL Logger. Two downloads were required as
procedure stopped after about 20 minutes. Set clock to PC time
(difference was about 10 seconds).
8. Walked over to see if Dean's shed/red shed had been removed. They
have not.
9. Downloaded the EOS Soil Flux Chambers. Software would not connect
to chamber 3 or 4. Check connections, tried the other cable, restarted
software, but no luck. Used a voltmeter to check batteries for power
(both were fine ~ 13.5 volts), then noticed positive power (red) wires
were not connected to the battery terminal. Must of come off when I
connect cable to download. I hope this didn't mess up configuration
files, but everything appeared to be fine after I reconnected red
wires to battery terminal. Chamber 3 connected immediately, but it
took a few tried to connect to Chamber 4.
10. Left trailer around 3:00 PM MST. Cool, slight breeze, and more
smoke noticeable.

Subject: DSM at the tower...
Hi Peter,
As I mention below, there have been issues with the DSM at the
tower....yesterday morning I tried to reboot it (remotely)...I have
been hesitant to do this (because it was working), but it clearly had
a problem and something needed to be done...not too surpring, it
didn't come back up cleanly....I was able to get it partially running,
but data from only one channel were being saved...so, with the spare
DSM, I was going up there to swap it out....however, the spare DSM had
an older version of the OS...with some fiddling it would likely have
worked, but it would have been much better to "flash" the same OS on
the spare as is on the broken one...the instructions to do this are
here:
https://github.com/ncareol/embedded-linux/wiki/Installing-Debian-8-on-a-Eurotech-Titan
Throughout this issue with the DSM, I have been in contact with NCAR
and leeting them know what was going on as well as asking
advice...mostly Gordon Maclean (who is mostly retired)....anyhow,
after I told him I tried to reboot the DSM at the tower and it didn't
come back cleanly he offerred to go to the site with me to help with
swapping the Titan (it was his suggestion to update the OS on our
"spare" DSM)...since he is the one who has figured this entire process
and written most of the NIDAS code, this was extremely helpful....it
took us most of the afternoon to update the OS.....we swapped it with
the (broken) DSM on the tower at around 7:45 pm...there's a few small
things that still need fixing, but we are now collecting all the data
again...it was very kind of Gordon to help out (but also an excuse to
escape to where it was a bit cooler)....
Anyhow, I have the broken DSM...I plan to set it up on campus (and
I'll go there today to do this)....if we are lucky (ie, the hardware
is not damaged) we can re-flash the OS on it and then reinstall the
NIDAS software....it is definitely very useful to have a backup
on-hand that is ready to swap at the tower (and I had some plan to
update the OS on our spare DSM, but kept putting it off)....if this
one cannot be recovered, then I suggest we look into trying to find
one to buy (I don't think they make them anymore, but we can likely
find one 2nd hand)....new, I think they were on the order of
$100-200...
I assume it's still fine for me to go to campus and I'll fill out the
on-line form as required....if this is not the case, please let me
know...
thanks!
SpB.

Sunday, July 5th, 2020 Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check on site
Weather: When I arrived there was only a small cloud in the sky..this
could quickly turned dark and menacing. It started dropping
rain/graupel on my at around 10:30. There were also some crashes of
lightning just to the North of me. By the time I left, it seemed like
the storm had moved east....
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Pruis
* I just returned from Taiwan on 7/2. Things appear to have worked
pretty well while I was away...
*
---------
* Span cylinder at 700 psi, N2 at 1000 psi
* from Taiwan I tried to login to isffa and it failed (last login was May 28th!):

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2020 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check on site
Weather: A wonderful day at the site---the snow is about 99% gone, the
creek was flowing high, the trail was a bit muddy. A brief snow/grappel
storm hit the tower just before I left. Spring has finally arrived!
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Pruis
* Duane was pumping air at C-1.
* Saw a large Moose in the meadow along the peak-to-peak highway (just
south of turn into MRS road). It was at the far end of the meadow and
then ran into the trees...
* found a bird nest (dark-eyed Junco) with 4 eggs near the trailer.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1000 psi, N2 at 1400 psi
* at 10:45 MST, added a PVC "shield" around the snowtherm sensor sn 7794
(not sure if this is useful or not!)
* from 11:15-11:30 MST, swapped LI-7200 inlet assembly (old one was

Here is a photo of the 3 sensors:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/200603/pic00016.jpg
sensor 4 is in the front
sensor 3 is on the right by the tree
sensor 6 is in the back...
they seemed to survive being under the snow ok....two guy wires for
sensor 6 were broken so it was tilting...here is a photo of it:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/200603/pic00019.jpg
it was the collar that was tilting...I re-tied one of the broken guy
wires and tried to straighten it up....more photos are here:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/photos_200603.html
here are a few more notes:
EOS FD Sensor Dist to Living Tree Tilt
003 38 cm 0 deg
004 125 cm 5 deg
006 90 cm 20 deg (fixed to near 0)
* distance between chambers 3 and 4: 125 cm
* distance between chambers 3 and 6: 300 cm
* unfortunately, we don't have soil temp sensors located next to any
of the chamber locations...this might be something we could add this
summer (if we are able to keep them for longer?)...the soil temp and
moisture data included in the data file above are at 5cm depth and
located about 50-100 cm away from sensor 006 (near the mini-tower)....
thanks!

* Discovered that the "A" AM25T connected to the soil logger broke
(need to double-check which day) (I'll have to replace this when I
return in July)....I checked a few things and it seems like either
the CLK or RES line is not working...
* I held snow in front of several of the Tir sensors..the times and
ones I did are (it was mostly cloudy and started rain/freezing
raining while I was doing the A. Richardson ones):
Time (MST) Sensor / Location
------------------- ---------------------
14:00:00 - 14:00:30 TI-121 at mini-tower (also briefly held under down-looking IR sensor)
14:04:10 - 14:04:40 "Snowtherm" Tir sensor sn 7794
14:04:45 - 14:05:15 "Snowtherm" Tir sensor sn 7792
14:08:00 - 14:09:00 A Richardson TI-121 Tir sensor (the one looking E/NE)
14:09:00 - 14:10:00 A Richardson TI-121 Tir sensor (the one looking E)

* at around 14:30 MST, I turned on the fan in the LI-6262 box...I
noticed a strange jump in h2o.ec on cockpit back in the
trailer...should look at the timing of this?...
* can now see the undersnow EOS FD sensors...took some distance
measurements between them, etc.

Sunday, May 17th, 2020 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, fix snowtherm sensor
Weather: A beautiful day at the site---some bursts of wind, but
generally calm. Spring is arriving, but the trail is still full of
snow.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Pruis
* the power line (and all open areas) are snow-free.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1100 psi, N2 at 1600 psi
* modified the prof logger to ingest another snowtherm sensor...rather
than creating a new variable, I'm using analog_1 or "co2.prof" to
collect the data (this way, no ops mods were made)...though maybe I
should increase ops to ops100 so that I name it correctly....could
also do this for ops99!
* new prf logger program--note that the prf logger continues to give
me problems when I try to upload new programs...I've found I can use
pc200w to upload new firmware to the cr23x logger and then it accepts
a new program...otherwise, it seems to hang when it gets to the stage
of "compiling program" on the logger...very odd!
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns staff 17379 May 17 13:30 prf_06.csi*
* the setup of of the snowtherm T.ir sensors
- note, you cannot trust the connectors! (I wrapped them in electrical tape)
- need to put a jump wire between the signal L and GND (I didn't do this on 5/3)
- in lab tests 7792 had a slight low bias, e.g.:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/plot_snowtherm_lab.png
also see:
23560 May 5 15:34 /home/staff/sburns/emails_about_everest_snowtherm_sensor_ventzi.txt
- both looking at a clump of trees approx 15-20 m from the main tower.
- here is the general setup at the tower:
sn 7794, added on 5/3, pointed toward the east, level (approx 0 deg), (offset issue due to missing jumper)
sn 7792, added on 5/17, also pointed toward east, approx 10 deg downward angle (using a clamp to hold it)
- note that the tilt angle of Andrew's apogee sensors is on the order of 35 deg...see photos...

Sunday, May 3rd, 2020 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check on photospec
Weather: Mostly clear skies and quite warm, blustery at times, but
calm when I left. The snow is really melting quickly!
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Pruis
* the power line is about half snow-covered.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1200 psi, N2 at 1750 psi
* moved cc113101 (n2) from C-1 to the tower
* swapped radCAM SD card (appears to be working ok, curious to see the
big storm from 2 weeks ago!)
* tried to fix the MBR on the photospec computer (brought along a Win7
(32-bit) DVD and a USB DVD drive; unplugged the USB hub (no keyboard
or mouse); it was working when I left. I also changed the BIOS from
"dual" to "legacy" (see photos).
* deployed a snowtherm IR sensor (SN 7794) with PRF logger; it's looking at canopy to SE of main tower
* Modified niwot.xml, replaced T1.3m with Tir.sn7794.mV (started using ops99)

---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap N2
Weather: There were some clouds, some sun. Not too windy on arrival,
but it picked into the afternoon. The last storm dumped a LOT of
snow. Even after a week to settle, there is quite a bit of snow at
the site.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Pruis
* found some keys along the road, then found the owner looking
for his keys!
---------
* Span cylinder at 1250 psi, N2 at 550 ---> 1800 psi
* decided it was best to swap the N2 (even though it would last
another 2-3 weeks)...so, did:
- at approx 14:30 MST, removed cc40798 (n2) at 550 psi and started
cc234071 at 1800 psi
* started running new logger programs to save data every 10 min rather
than every 5 min:

but it did not cleanly load into the logger? (so not sure which
program is actually running...)

Saturday, April 11th, 2020 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data
Weather: partly cloudy, warm. Very windy at times and absolute
calm at other times.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Pruis
* not much snow since my last visit, but an Easter storm in the
forecast for tomorrow (Sunday)
---------
* Span cylinder at 1400 psi, N2 at 700 psi
* moved n2 cylinder cc442238 from the trailer to the tower
* moved co2 cylinder cc262858 from the tower to the trailer
* emailed Troy about turning back on photospec computer...it initially
came back up ok, but in the end it still seems to be having problems!
Seems like it rebooted ok on a hard reboot, but a soft reboot led to a
message about "no bootable device"...
* downloaded data from the EOS FD sensors:

* for the MRS logger: had a message that the PC card had a low
battery...after a few tries it worked, but this could be an issue
going forward (looks like the battery was last replaced in 2012).

Sunday, March 29th, 2020 Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data
Weather: partly cloudy, not too windy. Just below freezing.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
* it has snowed quite a bit since my last visit...stepping over the
fence now..
* MRS is officially closed due to COVID-19. Had to break trail to the
tower.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1490 psi, N2 at 800 psi
* at 12:30 MST, decreased the flow rate for the span/N2 into the
LI-6262.

Friday, March 6th, 2020 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, fix span, add SN-500
Weather: a mix of clouds and sun, but quite warm (almost 50F?)
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Enterprise rental
* took a photo of the USCRN station..
* left my cookies in the shed from last visit; noticed a few small
bite marks on them!
---------
* Span cylinder at 1700 psi, N2 at 1100 psi
* the span had been giving a low flow rate, the regulator looked ok,
so I re-did the connection---it might have been an issue with the
valve on the delivery-side of the regulator?...not sure, but it seemed
to be working better now....I slightly decreased the N2 delivery
pressure.
* already had SN-500 variables in UCB logger program (and data system
xml file). So, it was just a matter of setting it up and connecting 4
wires.

Wednesday, December 18th, 2019 Visit:
--------------------------------------
At the site: SpB, MR
Purpose of visit: download logger data
Weather: Very light winds. sunny skies and warm. as good as it gets
in December!
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Enterprise rental (they gave me an upgrade since they
didn't have enough cars).
* Mark R was at the site downloading his accelerometer data
* snow was around knee to mid-thigh deep...was following a nice
ski trail (destroying it!) and kept post-holing! ugh!
* there was a long power outage the weekend after thanksgiving (and
some really strong winds)....most everything came back up ok. wind
damage was minimal...I should check which loggers still have 5-min
data during the power outage...
---------
* Span cylinder at 500 psi, N2 at 700 psi
* moved span cylinder cc325800 from the trailer to the tower
* at around 13:15 MST, power-cycled the 2.5 CSAT3 (now working again). here
is what the before and after data look like:

that is the problem)...

* here is an email summary of the deployment:
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2019 09:51:11 -0700
To: Michaela.Jackson@colorado.edu,

From: Sean Burns
Subject: Re: eosFD's
Hi Mariah/Michaela,
For whatever it's worth, here are the hourly data files from the
Cristol lab (ie, when two of the eos FD sensors were sitting
side-by-side on the bench):
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/FD_20170003_2019-11-12_10-37-55.csv
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/FD_20170004_2019-11-12_10-46-11.csv
I also downloaded the cal files for each sensor which are:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/FD_20170003_settings.cal
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/FD_20170004_settings.cal
I should have probably downloaded these "cal" files prior to updating
the firmware on the sensors last month...Michaela, did you ever
download these files over the summer?
I continue to have problems connecting/communicating with the eos FD
sensor (20170006) that is connected to the data system...I thought I
had downloaded the data file from that sensor yesterday, but
apparently, I did not. Software communication with the other two eos
FD sensors has been fine...
Yesterday, Mariah and myself setup the two eos FD sensors between the
mini-tower and the main tower...if we had done this before the snow
arrived we might have picked a different spot...but this spot was
chosen because of fairly easy access to an existing battery and also
not wanting to disturb other sensors under the snowpack...we tried to
setup one sensor (20170003) closer to a tree and one sensor
(20170004) in a more open location...I'll download the data from
these 2 sensors next time I visit the site (sometime within the next
2 weeks, hopefully before thanksgiving). We left the eos FD cable
adaptor to connect to these sensors at the site in the action-packer
box near the sensors (where the battery is located)...I think the
other (black) eos FD serial cable is still in Cristol?? It's either
still on the bench near where the sensors were located or else I put
it with the spare laptop...I'll need to check for this next time I'm
in Cristol (which won't be this week since I'm out of town on
Thu/Fri)...
a few photos from the install yesterday are here:

thanks!

Thursday, November 7th, 2019 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap N2
Weather: Fairly calm and warm. The snow had settled quite
a bit. Was just over my boots.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep (left hand canyon was a bit icy!).
* started using the motorolla radios from MRS...posted my name and
radio info on the board at MRS...returned it at the end of the day.
* Duane was working and used the snowcat...
---------
* Span cylinder at 900 psi, N2 at <100 --> 1400 psi
* at approx 13:00 MST, removed cc442228 (n2) and started cc443317 at
1400 psi (seemed lower than it should be!!)
* was able to download a data file from the EOS FD sensor,
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns staff 310168 Nov 7 14:33 2019-11-07_14-32-37.csv*
* still had issues connecting and modifying the settings---bit after a
couple of tries, it did seem to accept the hourly sampling rate...it seemed
like the older program,
313236 09-14-2017 09:26 eosLink-FD_v2.4.1__TEST_47.exe
was the one that worked. Nick sent the following programs:
211511 10-21-2015 08:33 eosLink-FD_v2.3.0.exe <---- did not find the correct com port?
313236 09-14-2017 09:26 eosLink-FD_v2.4.1__TEST_47.exe
314291 07-24-2018 14:29 eosLink-FD_v2.4.4.exe <---- same as what I already have...
* swapped the SD card from the subcanopy camera:

Thursday, September 26th, 2019 Visit:
-------------------------------------
At the site: SpB, KK, K, D
Purpose of visit: try to tighten the tower guy wires
Weather: Windy. Feels like Fall is here. All the aspen
trees near the tower are bright yellow.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB prius.
* I met Kurt, Karl, and Dan at MRS. They brought 2 transits and a
tensiometer (we also have a tensiometer at the tower).
---------
* Span cylinder at 1350 psi, N2 at 900 psi
* We set things up and pulled a few guy wires free of trees..then, it
was decided that it was too windy to do a proper job of re-tensioning
the tower guy wires.
* new guy wire tensions:

Hi Troy,
A short followup to yesterday...
Here is what the screen looks like after I did the reboot:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/190926/pic00002.jpg
here is my attempt to take a photo of the back of the computer:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/190926/pic00029.jpg
this is another view of the computer and you can see the usb hub on
the right of the computer:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/190926/pic00030.jpg
I labeled the usb cable that went to the keyboard (ie, the one that I
unplugged from the hub)...I left the usb hub sitting on top of the
computer...this what it looked like before I closed up the door to the
"cage":
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/190926/pic00031.jpg
Do you know what the other 2 usb cables connected to the usb hub (one
white, one black) go to? If they are not critical, it might also be
helpful to just unplug the hub from the computer...it is difficult to
trace the cables because there is quite a bit of stuff in that small
space...
thanks!

Subject: Re: Radiometer Available for GEOG 1001 Lab? (Next Week: 9/9)
Hi All,
A few more details about the SN-500 and CR-310...after I saw them back
together I recalled more clearly what we/Bryan had done so we could
use the SN-500 at the AmeriFlux site....Bryan had made a separate box
that the SN-500 connected to and output bare wires so the SN-500 could
connect to our CR-23X data logger up at the AmeriFlux site...the
connector at the end of the SN-500 (ie, the end of the metal tube) can
also connect directly to the CR-310 box...this is shown here:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/190910/pic00032.jpg
Bryan can correct me if I have any mistake about what we did...
We also used the CR-310 data logger (unrelated to the SN-500)..to do
this, I removed both of the 4-pin AMP-like connectors that were in the
side of the CR-310 box (you can see one of the 4-pin connectors
sitting in the top of the box in the photo..this one still needs to be
put back in place where the hole is on the side of the box...I removed
this amp connector to use this hole to run power for the charger into
the box)...the wires coming out of the amp connector are labeled to
where they need to go (or at least what they were connected to when I
started using the data logger)...
So, I think all that needs to be done is:
1. re-connect these 4 wires from the amp connector to the correct
CR-310 ports; connect the SN-500 to the other side of this connector
(which is how we left it in the lab)
2. re-connect the power to the battery.
The charger for the batter is the black power cube inside this
box....to charge the battery, use the alligator clips. When I was
using it in the field the connection to the battery looked like this:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/190910/pic00009.jpg
The program I put back on the CR-310 data logger yesterday is:

and I'll attach a listing of this program at the end of this
email...you can also get it from this zip file:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/cr310_files_for_bryan.zip
If the SN-500 doesn't work for some reason, let me (or Bryan) know and
we can try to figure out what the problem is...
Thanks and apologies that you had to modify your class schedule!
SpB.

capacity!
---------
* Span cylinder at 1700 psi, N2 at 1500 psi
* from 10:33-10:35 MST, did a 3-pt cal of the lysimeter
10:33:00 - 10:33:30 MST, 10 g
10:33:40 - 10:34:30 MST, 100 g
10:34:30 - 10:35:00 MST, 200 g

939: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 29-Jul-2020 15:08:27 MDT, site visit on Wednesday, July 31st, 2019 (SpB, DL)
Wednesday, July 31st, 2019 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB, DL
Purpose of visit: swap N2 cylinder, find more trees
Weather: There was clouds, thunder and light rain in the morning.
Then, it cleared up and was partly-cloudy.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB prius. Met Don at NCAR and then we drove up left-hand
canyon. Boulder canyon construction is to be avoided.
*
---------
* Span cylinder at 1900 psi, N2 at 200 --> 1950 psi
* at approx 10:30 MST, removed eb0034401 (n2) and started cc442228 at 1950 psi
* from 11:10-11:15 MST, measured diameter of the lysimeter sample
container (remove these data), we found the inner diameter to be about
19 cm. We also tried to measure the depth of the soil sample, but not
sure how well this worked.
* found many more of the (old) dendrometer trees (Don helped with
this, and took notes)..when possible, I tried to reset the band to
a setting of "5"...here is a summary:
- 11:11 MDT, Tree 6
- 11:16 MDT, Tree 1
- 11:20 MDT, Tree 2 (dead tree)

to shed at base of tower. It was rather heavy so I didn't want to
haul it back to the trailer.

Saturday, July 27th, 2019 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB, MJ
Purpose of visit: deploy the microlysimeter
Weather: Seemed like it might rain, but it only sprinkled
lightly. Partly-cloudy.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB prius. Met Michaela at MRS and then she
drove up to C-1.
* pumped up the tires of the cart and used it. hauled back
a bunch of cables/sensors from Deans red shed.
---------
* I should have check the cylinder pressures, but forgot to do it!
* swapped both batteries for the two EOS FD sensors at the creek.
Slightly re-positioned the camera looking at the EOS FD sensors
(Michaela plans to move the float so it's in deeper water, near the
center of the creek).
* from approx 10:30-12 MST, deployed the microlysimeter near the mini-tower
* at 10:30 MST, started ops97 (started ucb_26.csi, removed Judd
variables + EOS FD temp, added lysimeter.mV)

-----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: fix FAST cr23x data logger (following an overnight
power outage)
Weather: Warm and sunny. Not too windy. Still lots of snow, but
locations in the sun are starting to melt out. Bridge over Como Creek
is only half covered.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Pruis.
* saw a mouse in the bowling/tga shed!
* two guys were working at the network tower (top of the power line), they
said a radio there had died...network was still fine.
---------
* Span cylinder at 700 psi. N2 at 1700 psi
* issues with fast logger:

Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: lost contact w/ US-NR1 site...
Hi,
the data logger and weather gods were kind to me....when I arrived the
CR23X was in some kind of suspended state...I had to re-send the OS to
the CR23X to wake it up..then it was giving me an E10 low voltage
error and wouldn't accept the program...I was ready to swap the
internal batteries, but tried to send the program one last time and it
worked...perhaps the internal batteries needed some time to
re-charge...not sure, but this summer I should probably do a
pre-emptive change of the batties in the loggers...
I could see rain/snow in the distance (and even a rumble of thunder),
but it only spit a few snowflakes on me...
anyhow, it seems to be working and we are ingesting these 10 Hz data
into the data system...hopefully we don't have another extended power
outage as we did last night...one other note, while I was pulling
things out of the shed at the base of the tower, a mouse walked
out..it saw me and went back into the shed...then about 3 minutes
later it came out again and walked down the edge of the shed and
disappeared under the shed...if there is one, there is probably more,
but I don't see much sign of them (ie, scat)....I didn't see any sign
that they had been able to get into the photospec box...i should
probably pull out the rest of that fluffy insulation which they seem
to like...
I'll be checking the tower data while I'm away, but if anything like
this happens I won't be able to do much (until the end of May)...Peter
will be around while I'm gone and can fix things on the weekend (if
needed)...
thanks!
SpB.

Thursday, April 18th, 2019 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap N2, swap inlet filter
(never did this, again!)
Weather: Warm (40s F?), bright sun with some clouds and a bit blustery
at times (the clouds were really moving). The snow is still deep, but
melt has definitely started. Much of the road near C-1 is snow-free.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Enterprise rental.
* Duane was there as I left.
---------
* Span cylinder at 300 psi. N2 at 30 ---> 1950 psi
* from 13:40-13:50 MST, removed N2 cylinder cc264960, started N2
cylinder eb0034401 at 1950 psi (note, slightly smaller cylinder!)
* removed N2 cylinder cc41189 from the base and moved from the tower
back to the trailer at C-1
* at 11:00 MST, deployed the CR310-WIFI logger at mid-tower (to
collect GPS data w/ Garmin, GPS35-HVS). The program it is running:
-rw-r--r-- 1 sburns staff 2982 Apr 16 15:09 gps_04.cr300
* at 11:22 MST, rotated the isff GPS (GPS16X-HVS) about 6cm from
current location (this was to align it to be directly off the
diagonal across the tower).
* went out and visited the two USGS sheds...could walk over the snow
fairly easily...in the shed at USGS base, found the CSAT3 power/SDM
cable (it's very short!). double-checked it by briefly unplugging
the "EOL" CSAT3 on the tower and plugging in this cable--it fit
perfectly.
* the subcanopy rad sensors were all clear; downloaded radCAM photos
(photos look ok since last visit, position of camera is good),
-rw-r--r-- 1 sburns staff 276152320 Apr 22 09:50 /data/photos_webcam_mark/photos_subcanopy_tower_190418.tar
* noticed that the REBS Q7-1 Rnet sensor has major tilt (see photos);
did not have time to fix it (will do this next time!). Note:
surprisingly, this has not happened before (at least not since
2003)...
* downloaded logger data (times are not correct):

Wednesday, March 27th, 2019 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap inlet filter (never did
this)
Weather: Quite warm (50 F?), some clouds and wind, but also periods of
calm. The snow is still deep, but starting to warm up and melt. The
road to C-1 is still snow covered, but starting to get slushy on way
down.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Pruis.
* left one pair of snow shoes in the tga shed at the tower.
* Jen and crew were heading up for snowcat training.
---------
* Span cylinder at 950 psi. N2 at 750 psi
* dragged N2 cylinder cc181030 from the trailer at C-1 to the tower (did not
bring one back, since it was at the base of the tower).
* went out and visited the two USGS sheds...some post-holing, but
mostly could walk over the snow (w/o snow shoes). Was looking for the
CSAT3 white box...did not find it, but Dean did find it at USGS.
* downloaded logger data:

Friday, March 8th, 2019 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, deploy the apogee Rnet sensor
Weather: Mostly calm and overcast. Quite warm and feels more
spring-like than previous visits. Lots of snow!
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* bumped into the snow pit team at MRS. They didn't go out to the
tower..however, it looked like one person did since they snow pit kit
was taken while I was there.
* brought up 2 clean nupro filters, also two inlet assemblies with
cleaned filters for the LI-7200. Was going to replace the inlet
filter for the LI-6262, but didn't have time.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1000 psi. N2 at 750 psi
* at 13:00 MST, cleared the snow from the subcanopy rad sensors (see
photos)
* at 13:30, swapped radCAM and towerCAM SD cards. Archived the photos as:

Subject: Re: Niwot walk-up tower pole diameter?
Hi Bryan/Peter,
I was (finally) able to deploy the SN-500 Rnet sensor at the tower on
Friday...Bryan, I have the caps and foam that was around the sensor
head...I debated if I should leave those at the tower, but decided to
bring them back so they don't get lost in the shed up there. Sometime
this week, I'll bring these things to the lab and put them with the
Apogee box...
here's where/how I deployed the sensor:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/190308/pic00025.jpg
A few other photos are here:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/photos_190308.html
it's closer to the REBS Rnet sensor....I'll be curious to see if the
REBS measurement changes because of this sensor/boom being close to
it...the more useful comparison will be with the other apogee sensors
which are about 1-2m from the sn500 sensor (I wanted to keep some
distance between sensors so as to not affect those
measurements)...after the snow is gone, I'll measure the sensor
location more carefully...
there was some light snow as I was leaving on Friday, and it looks
like it snowed some that night so this will make interpretation of the
data a bit complicated (recall that we have a camera pointed at the
sensors which will allow us to better know when snow is on the
sensor)...after some snow on Friday evening/night, it didn't snow too
much at the site the rest of the weekend (even though it was supposed
to)...here is a quick plot/check of the data since Friday:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/example_apogee_sn500.png
I'm not showing incoming shortwave since these data are mixed with
-9999s (so when the standard 5-min statistics are calculated, this
throws the numbers off)...for example, here is what the incoming 1 Hz
data from the SN-500 look like:
Rsw.in Rsw.out Rlw.in Rlw.out T.Judd D.Judd
2019 03 11 16:21:54.2032 1 80 -99999 43.42 297.72 294.02 -115.79 117.85

2019 03 11 16:22:02.2029 1 80 -99999 44.15 297.63 294.43 -115.79 117.85
2019 03 11 16:22:03.2037 1.001 80 -99999 44.15 297.63 294.43 -115.79 117.85
you can see that every 5 seconds the sensor updates using the SDI-12
protocol..for whatever reason, the Rsw.in data is filled with "-99999"
between sensor updates while the other 3 SN-500 variables have
constant values...when I process the 1-hz data I'll have to remove all
those -99999s from the Rsw.in data and then the statistics should be
ok...
At some point I will do a comparison with the other radiation sensors
at the site...also, if the subcanopy radiation sensors are comparing
well, I will consider rotating the SN-500 by 90 deg (so the sensors
are looking horizontally at the trees rather than at the ground and
sky)...I would be curious to see what information this provides (and
it should also provide a rough idea of the bulk canopy temperature)...
Anyhow, thanks for your help in preparing the SN500 sensor and for
letting us use it at the tower....
Also, if you have any plans to put the radar system on the tower this
winter, please let me know when that might be..I'll be out of town for
several weeks in May...is there still a radar in the lab to test with
the data system? It's not super critical we do this, but it was
something we talked about doing previously...
thanks!

Friday, February 15th, 2019 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data
Weather: A bit windy in the morning with some periods of snow (mostly
blown from higher up). Snow still nice, cold, deep. Fairly warm. As
I was leaving, winds calmed down and it was quite nice.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Enterprise rental
* bumped into the snow pit team again. They broke trail for me!
---------
* Span cylinder at 1200 psi. N2 at 1100 psi
* hauled cc40798 (n2) from the trailer to the TGA shed
* at 13:21 MST, cleared the snow from the subcanopy rad sensors (see
photos).
* Swapped the SD card in the RADCAM. It did not respond right away,
but after ejecting the battery pack it did "wake up"...batteries
seemed ok?...The camera stopped working on 1/14/19 at 7am. So,
missing 1 month of photos (1/14-2/15)...The photos I downloaded are:
-rw-r--r-- 70389760 Feb 18 11:32 /data/photos_webcam_mark/photos_subcanopy_tower_190215.tar
* at 14:15 MST, noticed the REBS sensor had rotated (in the wind?),
moved it back to close to where it was (good thing I had marked the
position on the bar)...need to check the data to figure out if
shifted...
* from 14:55-15:10 MST, swapped nupro filter in 6262 box (did not help
with flow rate)
* thought that swapping the nupro filter in the LI-6262 box would help
increase the flow rate and lower the pressure drop...it didn't
change it at all. My guess is that the filter at the inlet (21.5m)
needs to be swapped.
* at 15:25 MST, started fast_27.csi (increased voltage range of p.ec
from 1000 mV to 5000 mV)...this was instead of taking the time to
swap the inlet filter at 21.5m!

* hauled cc702603 back to the trailer (sitting on floor of the
trailer)
* at 12:20 MST, at the request of Troy, I power-cycled (QE1 and QE2)
power for photospec..these two power cords were connected to the UPS
inside the silver box (it's fairly easy to see them after opening the
silver box).
* at 12:55 MST, cleared the snow from the subcanopy rad sensors (see
photos). This would be a good day to examine the effect of clearing
these sensors of snow.

Hi Sean,
We use this one: https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/80509904
Looks to be around $250, but worth the investment. I really like it. Not sure
about the iPhone app but wouldn’t be surprised if it also works pretty well!

Troy,
great--thanks for the update....I'm not sure those blocks need to be moved
under the legs or not, but wanted to know if you attempted it...
one final question: what model of electronic level did you use and are you
happy with it? I've seen a bubble level app for an iphone and am wondering
how well they work...have you tried using those?

918: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 28-Jul-2020 16:52:10 MDT, site visit on Thursday, September 27th, 2018 (SpB, MR, DA)
Thursday, September 27th, 2018 Visit:
------------------------------------
At the site: SpB, MR, DA
Purpose of visit: meet Mark R and install subcanopy radiation instruments
Weather: Fairly warm, a bit of breezy at times
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up an enterprise SUV (to move cylinders)
* met Mark R at MRS
* since there isn't any LI-6262, the gas cylinders at the tower base
are closed.
* Dean was removing the USGS North tower (and doing other
things)...Mark and I helped him at the end of the day (he was up on
the tower, we were using a davit and rope from below).
---------
* New cylinders moved from snowshed to C1 on 9/27/2018:
Six N2: cc442228 (fcw388), cc181030 (ddg654), cc442238 (fcw406),
cc264960 (htr498), cc234071 (htr497), cc443317 (fcw644)
Two span: cc239886 (bcw047), co2=431.4; cc234104 (bcy329), co2=404.9
* most of the day was spent installing the subcanopy radiation sensors
on the mini-tower..here is an email summary:

Subject: Re: site visit
Hi Mark,
Thanks for coming up yesterday and installing the apogee sensors on
our subcanopy tower...here are a few photos from our trip and of the
sensors on the tower:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/photos_180927.html
the thermistors on the SL-510 and SI-121 sensors appear to be working
properly (e.g., getting warm in the morning, etc)...I used the
information in the apogee manuals to calculate the temperature from
each thermistor...here is an example time series with a comparison to
our aspirated air temp measured on our main tower at 8m and 21m:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/apogee_thermistors_180928.png
There is an offset of about 2 C between the SL-510 and SI-121
thermistors..is that reasonable? did you compare the thermistor
temperature between the SL-510 and SI-121 in the lab tests?
I've done some rough calculations for the radiative flux measurements,
but want to wait until I'm using the actual calibration coefficients
for each specific sensor...sometime early next week I'll send you some
of the raw (voltage) data and will look at everything a bit more
carefully...
anyhow, I will wait until I have the calibration coefficients from
you, before doing anything else...the serial numbers I have are
(please correct if any are wrong):
SP-510-SS-1334
SP-610-1105
SL-510-SS-1077
SI-121-SS-7468
thanks!
SpB.

* did not connect the judd snow depth sensor to ucb logger...it seems
like it needs delays in the program which might be a problem? (plan
to test one of these judd sensors with the data system in the lab
before deploying it). Note, the judd sensor is on the mini-tower
boom and the wires are run into the ucb logger box.
* distance from judd snow depth sensor to ground: 209.5 cm
* removed the 2-d viasala sonic and the stand it was on (this
was just in front of the subcanopy tower, the sensor has not
worked for many years, but was still connected to diff ch8!).
* started ops92 to take into account the changes to variable names.
* the number of variables output by the UCB logger was kept the same,
but I removed all the extra thermocouples (from the data system
output) and the program has been changed quite a bit:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns staff 11028 Sep 27 14:19 ucb_19.csi*

- an LI-7000 (no cables or tubing)
- a KZ CNR1 net radiometer
- two REBS Rnet sensors?
- broken vaisala handar 2-d sonic...

Thursday, September 13th, 2018 Visit:
------------------------------------
At the site: SpB,
Purpose of visit: meet electrician Dan, download data.
Weather: Clear blue skies all day, a bit of a breeze at times, but
warm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Pruis
* caught a ride down with Henry (it was his LAST day!)
* Dean was hauling away the USGS stuff...
---------
* Span cylinder at 600 psi. N2 at 350 psi (I closed both of these main
valves after removing the LI-6262).
* from 8:30-9:25 MST, eletricity to tower cut; power lines to USGS
tower removed
* from 12:15-12:30 MST, swapped inlet assembly for LI-7200 (now using
heated one)
* from 13:00-13:30 MST, removed LI-6262 (gast pump turned off)
* cable tensions on tower:

Purpose of visit: investigate FLIR issues, download data.
Weather: Big clouds, seemed like it might rain, but never
happened. Rather cool.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Pruis
* a pair of sharp-shinned hawks (I think?) were circling the tower..
* some very large SCAT (mt lion?) on the trail to the tower
* met Jim Le Moine from NAU at MRS, he checked on the FLIR camera.
* a few trees are hung up on the guy wires....we tried to free one,
but it didn't work out...need to check with Peter and/or Kris about
this...
---------
* Span cylinder at xx psi. N2 at xxx psi
* Jim determined that the FLIR camera seems to have an issue..so, it
was removed from the tower (the enclosure was left on the tower).
* from 13:35-13:45 MST, adjusted cal gas flow in LI-6262
* at around 14:15 MST, rebooted the LI-7200 to reset/sync the time
with GPS...I initially tried rebooting via linux, but that did not
work...the time now seems ok (checked on 8/23). The files from the
reboot are here:

915: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 28-Jul-2020 16:21:12 MDT, site visit on Friday, August 17th, 2018 (SpB)
Friday, August 17th, 2018 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: investigate network outage..
Weather: There was some threat of rain while hiking up, but
the weather cleared and it was quite pleasant.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
* spent the night in the limber cabin with family..came up
a bit early to reset the radio modem at the tower.
---------
* Span cylinder at xx psi. N2 at xxx psi
* the network was down following storms on Tue, Aug 14th...
* after power-cycling the wireless modem at the tower, the network
came back up ok and I could log in with my phone, etc...however I
still could not ping isffa!...
* with my laptop, I used a direct-connect serial cable plugged into
port 1 on the titan serial ports....this enabled me to log into the
data system, then I could ping the outside world and the network card
in the titan started working ok...
* was going to setup the new fixed IP for the flir computer, but I
didn't have time to do this...need to check for a usb hub (I think
there is one in the old quacker box at the base of the tower!)...
* after getting isffa back on the network, the data appear to be ok...
-------------------------------
From my time the lab on Monday, August 6th...
For the titan, realized that I need a usb connector and this requires
a special cable...attached below is my email to Steve O about it...
also, talked to kurt and the connector type is called "idc" (10 pins)
still need to get the pinouts in order to create the cable...here is

914: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 28-Jul-2020 16:16:07 MDT, site visit on Wednesday, August 7th, 2018 (SpB)
Wednesday, August 7th, 2018 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: move cylinders, swap krypton
Weather: warm and fairly calm. there were periods
with clouds.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Enterprise SUV (to move cylinders).
* It is still quite smokey/hazy (there are big fires on the Western
US).
---------
* Span cylinder at 900 psi. N2 at 1000 psi
* moved six gas cylinders from C-1 to MRS snowshed: cc453607,
cc488560, cc443821, cc448922, cc153444 (span), cc175573 (span)
* CU will pickup from MRS later this week and drop-off six new ones...
* from 12:00-13:00 MST, removed krypton hygrometer (sn 1249) and
replaced it with krypton (sn 1104). this was one of the kryptons
from the USGS and the following information is from a cal sheet was
included with it:
KH2O s/n 1104
date: 10-oct-12
cal ID: 1104-14
windows: scaled
comments: RMA 16505
path (X) 1.240 cm
----------------------------------
windows "scaled":
Full Vapor Range: 1.82-19.38 g/m3
Coefficient (XKw) -0.181 ln(mV) m3/g Contstant (Vo) 8.174 ln(mV)
Kw -0.146 ln(mV) m3/g/cm Intercept 3547 mV
Dry Vapor Range: 1.82-9.24 g/m3
Coefficient (XKw) -0.190 ln(mV) m3/g Contstant (Vo) 8.220 ln(mV)
Kw -0.153 ln(mV) m3/g/cm Intercept 3715 mV
Wet Vapor Range: 8.01-19.38 g/m3
Coefficient (XKw) -0.178 ln(mV) m3/g Contstant (Vo) 8.127 ln(mV)
Kw -0.144 ln(mV) m3/g/cm Intercept 3386 mV
----------------------------------
windows "clean": (no information)
* I was not sure if I replaced it in the same orientation as the
previous krypton, but according to the manual the longer tube should
be on the TOP..however, according to CHATS photos I think it's the
other way around? on 9/7, I checked some older photos of the prior
deployment, and it looks like I've done it the same way (with the
longer tube on the upper side)...
* I modified the FAST logger (fast_25.csi) so that the range for the h2o.ec
variable is larger (increased from 0-1000mV to 0-5000mV)...
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns staff 10181 Aug 7 13:07 fast_25.csi*
now the variables from p.ec onward are output in "high"
resolution...this change was done by:

* tested the network cable in the upper power box and measured the

From: Sean Burns
Subject: Re: Niwot walk-up tower pole diameter?
Hi Bryan,
I'm connecting via the network cable near the top of the tower..so, it
works! there is a not a lot of extra slack, but it will get you to
the middle of the 2nd highest level...if you position your box
appropriately, it should work for you...probably a good idea to check
the cable for nicks, etc when you actually setup...the dimensions of
each level:
57.5 cm wide by 150 cm long....
there is a 5cm wide solid section around the edge of each level which
covers the grating...so for the dimensions of the grating itself
subtract 10cm from what I wrote above (if it's not clear what I mean
by this, look at a photo I sent previously or let me know)...
nice day up here!

Thursday, August 2nd, 2018 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check FLIR
Weather: high clouds, warm. clouds built up a bit in the afternoon,
but never rained.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
* there was a NEON tech person (Jordan) working in Como Creek.
* It was quite smokey/hazy (there are big fires in California right
now).
* Duane gave me a ride up to C-1 (I was running late).
---------
* Span cylinder at 970 psi. N2 at 1170 psi
* from 12:00-12:40 MST, moved a connection box for the REBS Q-7.1 sensor closer to the CNR enclosure/box
* from 12:40-13:00 MST, replaced domes on REBS Q-7.1 Rnet sensor
* from 14:30-15:00 MST, swapped the inlet assembly for the LI-7200
(flow was at zero, perhaps due to all the recent smoke?). Even after
replacing it the fan percent power was quite high (order 60 %).
* did some investigation into FLIR issues (forgot to bring the monitor
cable which was in trailer at C-1!!)...here are the emails:

--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
---------
* Span cylinder at 1100 psi. N2 at 1400 psi
* at 13:15 MST, replaced tc4 in NCTC logger with a new thermocouple
(old one was broken; all 12 appear to be working!)
* at ~15:30 MST, moved par.kz1_old to downward-looking, and couple
with par.kz2_new (upward-looking), placed on boom off the platform
* there was a bit of trouble with the NCTC data coming back into the
data system...not sure why, but data were missing...this cleared up
after a power cycle (not sure if that actually fixed it?)...
* tried to reposition the needles in the photosynthesis stuff (on
the bowling canopy towers, east of the main tower).

Monday, June 18th, 2018 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: swap nupro filter (p.ec pressure was clipping)...
Weather: Cool, damp, big Cu on arrival, overcast on departure. Drove
through rain on way up and there was a big rain shower almost the
entire way down Boulder Canyon.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Pruis
* this was a quick visit to try and get the LI-6262 flow working better
before leaving for vacation. (of course the pump died on 6/25!)
---------
* Span cylinder at 1300 psi. N2 at 1900 psi
* at approx 15:30 MST, REBS Rnet.22m is doing something strange?
* also, I tightned the barometric pressure tubing..
* from 14:55-15:10 MST, swapped nupro filter in the LI-6262 box (now p.ec is "ok")
* after filter swap:

Sunday, June 10th, 2018 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB, PsT, JvB, BsT
Purpose of visit: reboot photospec, turn on fan in 6262 box (escape
the heat of the plains!).
Weather: Very warm and clear blue skies. A bit gusty at times. the
trail to the tower was quite dry.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
* put the family in the jeep for the drive from MRS to C-1
---------
* Span cylinder at 1440 psi. N2 at 350 psi
* rebooted the photospec...note, I have some notes in the shed on how
to do this...it seemed to take a while to come back up, but eventually
it did that and rebooted ok (I think it needed to check the disk after
the hard shutdown)...
* at around 12:15 MST, turned on the fan in the LI-6262 box (it's been
a very warm and dry this June).
* Jia and Bo enjoyed dipping thier feet in Como Creek!

Wednesday, May 30th, 2018 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check N2 cylinder
Weather: Sunny with some convective clouds. The snowpack is 99% gone
and the trail to the tower was only wet in a few spots.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Pruis
* the road from MRS to C-1 was opened last Wed (one week ago).
* MRS now has a sign with more info about MRS...
---------
* Span cylinder at 1450 psi. N2 at 500 psi
* from 12:11-12:13 MST, adjusted span/N2 flow for LI-6262 (probably
need to swap out the filters fairly soon..confirmed there are two
filters up in the TGA shed).
* at around 12 MRS, turned off the LI-6251
* forgot to turn on the fan for the LI-6262 box!! (can wait until
next visit).
* took a few photos of the picarro for Dean Anderson...
* moved the raspberry pi back to the trailer (need to try it out
there).
* hiked up the road to create a new GPS file with endomondo:

Friday, May 11th, 2018 Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data
Weather: Sunny with some convective clouds. Warm, calm. The snowpack
is starting to melt out, but the trail to the tower is still
completely covered. Tree boles starting to open up, some post-holing
on trail to the tower.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
* spring commencemet was the previous day.
* Duane was at the site with a visitor.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1600 psi. N2 at 800 psi
* from 11:29-11:31 MST, adjusted span/N2 flow for LI-6262
* at 11:37 MST, rebooted the 21.5-m LI-7500A (time series looked spiky?)
* opened/checked the LI-7200 fan box and found no water or
condensation (it was ok)
* downloaded logger data:

Wednesday, April 19th, 2018 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check breaker box
Weather: Fairly light winds. Sunny and warm. The snowpack is still
fairly solid (at least along the trail)...the road near C-1 was
soft/muddy. Just starting to see the snow melting near a few trees...
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB PriusC
* hiked up to C-1 w/ Duane. contractors were cutting some trees near
MRS.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1700 psi. N2 at 1150 psi (seems like too big of a drop?)
* dragged span cc262930 from the TGA shed back to trailer
* check the breaker box---No strange sounds and everything seemed "normal"...
* from 12:10-12:11 MST, adjusted span/N2 flow for LI-6262 (this was
during the normal calibration period)...
* tried to find the model number of the apogee radiometer used by
Andrew Richardson group...couldn't see it...it has a round window (so
circular FOV)...should email him...
* the top of the enclosure near the 21.5m level was not latched...it
had clearly been blowing up and down (there were marks on the
enclosure)...and this action partially smushed the LI-6262 inlet
tubing!...it looked like it was not broken (I blew on it and could
check for CO2 spikes?), but I wrapped it with electrical tape just in
case it was...this might be why the flow rate increased recently?
* more wind-related stuff: a swagelok connection between the pressure
port inlet and the transducer had come loose---I reconnected the
tubing to the pressure inlet (probably still need to tighten)
* also, I found 3 grounding wires from boxes on the tower had become
disconnected from the lugs...I reconnected them as best I could...
* I opened the LI-7200 fan box and found quite a bit of
water/condensation inside the box..probably should add some dessicant
to this box since this has been a problem in the past...dried it out
as best I could...
* downloaded logger data (NCTC logger was over 2 min slow, others ok):

Wednesday, April 4th, 2018 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap gas cyclinders, check on
photospec..
Weather: Very windy. Still snow in the forest, but open locations are
snow-free..it's been windy for several days...
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB PriusC
*
---------
* Span cylinder at 20 ---> 1790 psi. N2 at 0 ---> 1810 psi
* replaced span cc262930 at approx 20 psi with cc320784 at 1790 psi (airgas value= 389.6 ppm)
* replaced N2 cc453607 at 0 psi with cc488576 at 1810 psi
* there was a network issue at MRS...messed around a bit with this in
the morning (with Henry)...interesting that I could still reach the
tower computer, but other things were not working..emails about issues
with photo spec:

Subject: Breaker Box at Tower...
Hi Peter,
when I was at the tower today I heard a clicking sound...it was very
windy and I thought it was a cable (or something) slapping against
something...however, after I investigated a bit more I noticed the
sound was coming from the breaker box...I made a video with the sound:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/video_180404_IMG_4557_breaker_clicking.mov
the wind makes it a bit hard to hear, but if you listen carefully you
should be able to hear it...I also took the panel cover off and looked
for any obvious problem...here is what that looks like:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/180404/pic00015.jpg
I didn't notice anything hot or smell anything...I tugged on a few
wires, but it all seemed ok..I thought about trying to turn the
breakers off/on, but I didn't want to suddenly power off everyones
stuff...anyhow, I googled this and found it might be something arc'ing
inside the box...ie:
http://forums.mikeholt.com/showthread.php?t=101644
of course you can find lots of opinions and ideas on the web...to me,
the clicking sounds more like a relay going on and off?...of course,
I'm not sure exactly what arc'ing would sound like..
anyhow, my plan would be to contact an electrician at facman and share
this video with them and see what they think...I'll do this tomorrow
unless you have some other suggestion...
SpB.

* downloaded logger data: NOTE that met4_4.dat is only a partial file!
(I didn't download the entire file)...not sure what time zone this
time stamp is from?

Thursday, March 8th, 2018 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data
Weather: Warm, windy, snow knee-deep in the forest. Clear skies.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
* Chatted with Duane about Hill's Mill...
---------
* Span cylinder at 300 psi. N2 at 500 psi
* at 12:15 MST, reconnected the MET cr23x data logger serial port
(this had come loose and explains why there was no MET data into the
data system for the past few weeks!)...
* fiddled with the LI-6262 mks mass flow meter (seemed to stop the
oscillations?); brought the spare GAST pump to the tower (it's left
in the TGA shed)...checking cockpit on the morning of 3/12/18 and it
looks like ec.Ftot has been stable over the weekend!
* after talking to Duane and emails with Bill B., I checked on a few
stumps near tower (see photos). There are many more than I thought!
* downloaded logger data (there was some troubles with the PC card in
the MRS cr10 logger, but I think I eventually was able to extract
all the data):

902: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 28-Jul-2020 12:37:03 MDT, site visit on Wednesday, February 14th, 2018 (SpB)
Wednesday, February 14th, 2018 Visit:
-------------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap N2
Weather: Warm, windy, snow knee-deep in the forest. Spitting
snow at times. Calmed down in the late afternoon.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Enterprise vehicle
* could not find the red shovel! finally, found it in the blue tub
with the snow kit.
* could not find the windex! finally found it on the floor of the TGA
shed beneath the table (must have gotten knocked back there?)..
* Duane and his colleague gave me a ride up in the snowcat...
---------
* Span cylinder at 500 psi. N2 at 0 --> 1100 psi
* moved cc702603 (N2) from trailer to TGA shed
* from 12-13 MST, removed N2 cylinder cc488560 (empty!), started
cc453607 (N2) at 1100 psi (not sure why it was not at full
pressure!!)..this has now happened twice in the past few years...
* the N2 cylinder ran out around 2/5....so about 10 days without any
N2! I'm not sure if fluxes can still be calculated or not (can try
this)...the co2/h2o seemed to come back to normal after I replaced
the cylinder...
* downloaded logger data (no major time issues):

Hi Katja,
thanks for the instructions...I printed them out and will bring them
with me when I go to the site...I'm planning to head to the site on
Thursday...
I took a quick look and the power outage(s) on 12/29 and 12/30...they
were not very long...I have two ways of checking this....one is based
on the flow rate from the pump that we use with our LI-6262...during a
power outage the flow rate will drop dramatically...here is what those
data look like:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/usnr1_flow_rate_2017_12.png
We also have a few LI-COR IRGAs that will reboot whenever the power
goes out...the LI-COR reboots are consistent with what the flow rate
shows...ie:
Power outage between 4-5 MST on 12/29:

A *.data file means the file was not finished writing (due to the
power outage) while a *.ghg file is a zipped file that was closed
properly...mulitple *.data files means the power was going off and
coming back on again...so you can get an idea of how much the power
cycling there was...also, note that all of the outages were quite
short (none longer than 10-min or so)....this suggests that your
battery backup power lasts only a short time...
I get an email from xcel about power outages in the Nederland/MRS
area...they are often a bit vague and sometimes not accurate, but it
gives me a heads-up to check on things....btw, you can check for xcel
power outages yourself from this website:
https://www.outagemap-xcelenergy.com/outagemap/
Anyhow, I will let you know after I turn your computer back on this
Thursday...it will likely be around mid-day...
cheers!
SpB.

Hi Kris,
Thanks much for this update----I can confirm that we have power at the
AmeriFlux tower (and a network connection to out tower is working)...
In looking at our data, there were several short power outages on
12/30 between 17:00-18:00 MST....but then everything came back without
problems and I have access to the tower, etc...
cheers!
SpB.

Subject: Niwot Ridge Power Outage
Hi All,
We currently have a power outage on Niwot Ridge. The outage is
effecting several locations including T-Van, Tundra Lab, NEON tower,
NEON @ Como creek, etc. Not all facilities at C1 are effected, as it
sounds like the Ameriflux tower is still receiving power. Note that
power is believed to have went down Sat (12/30) night, so backup power
batteries may be nearing their limits. Likely related to the high
winds we saw over the weekend.
We assessed the issue at C1 this morning and it is on the “CU side” so
Xcel Energy was not able to fix. However, the issue has been
identified and it is expected to be a quick fix once people are
on-site. We are working with CU Facilities Management to get the
power restored as soon as possible. Once I have an estimated time for
power restoration I will send an e-mail update with that info.
Thanks,
Kris Hess

* downloaded logger data:
* the new laptop was using MDT...also, it seemed like the CR23X
loggers at the site were also using MDT?? Luckily I noticed this
and switched them back to MST....might need to check the dates/times
in the files carefully...
postscript: I was confused!! the laptop was using MST, so I changed the
time on these loggers when I shouldn't have--this was fixed on 11/30/17!

896: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 28-Jul-2020 12:18:20 MDT, site visit on Thursday, October 19th, 2017 (SpB, MG, JPL Team)
Thursday, October 19th, 2017 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, MG, JPL Team
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap N2
Weather: Perfect. Warm and Dead Calm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Enterprise vehicle (All-wheel drive)
* Guy helped me move out all of the junk by the side of the trailer.
*
---------
* Span cylinder at XXX psi. N2 at XX psi
* moved two N2 cylinders from snowshed at MRS to C-1,
swapped N2 cylinder at the tower
* tried to re-do the protection for the opening in the NCTC logger
(bag/tape on west side).
* messed around with the CNR2 probe on mini-tower (need to remove?)
* ask Maria/Dave, what's going on with the power cable?
* ask JPL, what's the power draw for the heaters?
* logger data files (note, the time is off by about 6 hours, but why?
seems like a UTC vs MST issues...rather than copied to russter2, I
copied them to toyon from thumb drive!):

Friday, September 29th, 2017 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data
Weather: Just above the clouds.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Enterprise vehicle
* at C-1 the wifi network is called, "FreeWave"
* setup the WP201 radio (5GHz freq) at the tower to use: Security
WPA/PSK TKIP+AES w/ Passphrase: Blanken_flux
for changes, it shows:
wireless.w1_index0.wps_configured=1
wireless.w1_index0.key=Blanken_flux
wireless.w1_index0.encryption=psk tkip+aes
-wireless.w1_index0.maclist
-wireless.w1_index0.macpolicy
made some backups,
bash-3.2# ls -lag backup-WP201-2017-09-29_at_tower_ver*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 18933 Sep 29 10:58 backup-WP201-2017-09-29_at_tower_ver0.tar.gz

* after switching Dave Bowlings logger back to the fiber network, his
connectivity has been fine (this is very odd!)...it seems if I can
ping it from urquell, then it works for him as well (when it was on
the wp201 modem network, I could only intermittently ping it from
urquell)...there is something going on here, that I don't understand!
* I could not run cockpit on the Rpi2 in the shed---I tried
disconnecting the photospec and Dave Bowlings logger from the network
and it still didn't work---it worked ok earlier in the summer and when
I was on the wifi network---again, something I don't quite understand!
I could test this by connecting the Rpi2 to the wifi network and see
if it works or not...
* various pings:

"data_stats" were both dead...and messages such as this were in the

Monday, September 11th, 2017 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, test photospec, etc
Weather: Cloudy, then sunny. Then heard some thunder which was rather
nearby (seemed like it might rain, but only rained lightly).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Enterprise compact vehicle
* two NEON trucks were at C-1 and working on the stream
sediment...they told me there is a small met tower along como creek
(we must have missed it when we hiked by there).
* chatted with Jen at MRS about going up the tower at C-1 to better
secure the WP201 radio and grounding of the PoE for the radio modem
there. We will try for the week of Sept 25th.
---------
* Span cylinder at XXX psi. N2 at XX psi
* added the new blackbox fiber-to-copper converters (model LHC013A-R3)
and now the fiber line network is working again! cleaned the ends of
the fiber line before connecting (used an Opticlean pad from NCAR)...
* re-arranged the network a bit---now the fiber line is going directly
to the green shed and the wireless modems are connecting everything
for the tower. One interesting development---when I tried to display
cockpit on the Rpi2 in the green shed, it no longer worked! I'm a bit
surprised by this....
On 9/11/17, pings to devices from urquell using either the fiber or
the wireless modems have the same approx travel time:

Hi Dave,
there didn't seem to be anything written on the PAR sensors themselves
(I noticed there was a serial number written on at least a few of them
on the canopy towers), but the cable going into the logger had the
serial numbers on them...what I found was:
ch. 10 = sn 1381 = upward-looking sensor
ch. 12 = sn 1383 = downward-looking sensor
So, I should be all set....it wasn't sunny when I was at the top of
the tower so I couldn't tell if they were being shaded by the tower or
not....
thanks!

Hi All,
I'm not going to make it to the site until next Monday (not Sunday as
I thought I might)...my short list of tasks related to your stuff is:
* reboot photospec following Katja's directions
* swap out power supply in Dave/Maria logger
* add new media converters to (hopefully) get the network using the
fiber optic cable again.
* check the serial numbers of the PAR sensors at ower top (those added
by Dave/Maria a few months ago).
* swap photospec dessicant
If I'm forgetting anything, please let me know....also, If you could
please be on the watch for an email at around mid-day on Monday to
confirm all is working before I leave the site that would be
helpful....
thanks!

this is what I was referring to where the "Link Status" is UP...does
this mean the radios are communicating with each other? I'm planning
to go to the site tomorrow and will investigate further. . .
If there are other commands I can use to check the connection status
between the two WP201 radios, please let me know...
thanks!

Hi Jesse,
Thanks for the quick reply...I was hoping there was something I could
check without physically going to the tower...does the fact that under
"Connections" under "Link Status" it says "Up" mean anything? Does
that mean the two radios are in contact with each other?
Today, I changed the login password on the radio at C-1 (from the
default of "admin"), but since I can't reach the tower I can't change
anything on the radio at the tower
"CAUTION: NAWDS is enabled, please assign the Channel on both
frequency bands manually for settings to take effect."
I set the time manually...
sounds like I need to make a trip to the tower to figure out what is
happening with the radio at the tower end...will try to head up there
in the next few days..I'll also try to check with the CU networking
group for possible firewall things (but I don't think they would
change anything without a good reason)...
thanks!

As far as the time and NTP servers go, you'll need to put in the IP
address of the network router in the "Gateway" field of IP setup. That
should help that.
Assuming no settings have changed while you were gone, I don't think
the issue lies in our network settings, which leaves us with physical
issues (cable or mount somewhere coming loose), power issues, or
external network issues (check with your IT department). I'm not quite
sure what to make of those log entries, but I've copied our tech
support guru, Jay Moretz, on here in case he has further insight. Did
you change the default login information from the devices when you
deployed them?
Thanks,
Jesse

I think I can work with the networking group at CU to try and cut down

If you have any advice about what to try/test to figure out why the

the tower later this week...

From: Dave Bowling
Subject: Niwot update
Hi all,
Maria and I had a (mostly) successful field trip to Niwot. Here's a
summary:
1) We did measurements of the light dependence of leaf-level
chlorophyll fluorescence (at ambient leaf T) from the tower, which
took 2 full days. 9 measurements on lodgepole trees with attached
fascicles, and 6 on spruce with detached needles. This included
measurement at ambient PAR, but also 200, 500, and 1600 uE.
Simultaneous CO2/H2O gas exchange was not successful due to the small
amount of biomass in the broadleaf cuvette. A plot summarizing these
data is at bottom, with pine in blue and spruce in red. The y-axis is
the overall PSII efficiency in the light. We collected leaf samples
for pigment analysis from all these tissues. We will back off with
replication a bit for subsequent visits unless more variability is
apparent. Two of the pine trees and one of the spruce are in the view
of the PhotoSpec, phenocam, and thermal IR cam (although we are on the
east side of the spruce and you can image the west).
2) We did not collect additional leaf samples over a diel time course
for pigment analysis, for comparison with PhotoSpec data. I had
planned to do this but highly variable light levels on the available
days made me feel it would not be useful. I have asked Barry to
schedule a meeting to chat with the California team about the best
field sampling plan to match the PhotoSpec data with leaf pigments.
It is likely we can do this in mid-August.
3) Oxygen gas exchange measurements are not yet working. We will
pursue this in mid-August, and this will be with detached needles. We
will work with all 3 species (pine, spruce, fir)
4) We nearly started a fire with a bizarre sapflux system malfunction,
and I have decided to end the sapflux work at Niwot for this reason.
We will remove all the cabling when we get a chance (before winter).
5) We installed 14 new calibrated PAR sensors to monitor APAR. These
are paired up/down and there is one pair above canopy. These do not
fully account for the variability in canopy structure at the site due
to limitations on cable length, but will allow us to make a rough stab
at seasonality of APAR.
6) The current schedule next involves field work Aug 8-12, so please
plan ahead and keep all your instruments functioning during that
period!

* from XX-XX MST, swapped N2 cylinder...
* water got on the keyboard of my Dell field laptop and it was giving
me some trouble after that...strange beeping and an error on boot-up
like "Pre-boot System Assessment Build 3008":
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/20007749
Hi, so my laptop crashed and couldnt make it past the dell spash
screen so i tried advice i found on another forum post and it said if
it came up with an error to let someone know so here:
Error Code 2000-01 42
Validation 68052
Msg: Hard Drive 0 - S/N W0VC1TJN, Short self test unsuccessful
I should also note that my laptop is also making beeping noises at me.
HELP!!!
Unplug the system, remove or disconnect the battery and hold the power
button for 30 sec. Remove the hard drive from the system and remove
and reinstall the memory modules. Plug the system in without the hard
drive and power up. If you still get that series of beeps, you have a
bad mainboard in addition to the bad hard drive.
If the beeps cease, replace the hard drive with a new one, reload the
operating system and you should be all set.

It has been significantly improved with a view to streamlining the
entire diagnostic process. Enhancements include simultaneous testing
on multiple devices, automatic execution that can be interrupted to
allow interactive test selection and an intuitive graphical user
interface. Diagnostic executional intensity can be maximized by
selecting Thorough Mode. There are enhancements affecting all
diagnostic programs within ePSA and include:
* Graphical User Interface
* Automatic Default Operation- runs test on all devices, allowing a user to interrupt and select any device
* Checks the Master Boot Record for readiness to boot into a full OS environment
* Notebook panel test (notebooks only)
* Video memory test
* Battery test (notebooks only)
* Charger test (notebooks only)
* Fan test
* Event log scan
* Multiprocessor cache test
* Configuration - displaying cable connectivity and Bluetooth, WLAN, WWAN devices installation status
* System Health - displaying fan, battery, thermal, connectivity indicators
* Restart the system
* At the Dell logo screen press F12. Some systems do not have an F12
key, to access the boot options you have to press the 0 (zero) key
at the Dell logo screen
* At the One Time Boot menu, press the Down arrow key to highlight
Diagnostics, then press Enter to begin PSA Diagnostics
* Write down any error codes listed
* Go here to see the codes:

I finally found something regarding the Pre-boot System Assessment Build 3008 -- check out:
http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?c=us&docid=D6517FB1B2425B46E030A68F27282400&journalid=C17153CCF5BB11DA83667D9B96330098&l=en&s=gen#1
For those too lazy to go check, it says that the PSA starts up when
you hold down a non-keyboard button down while turning on the
power. This explains why it'd only enter that mode when
cold-starting.
So I figured since it's not a keyboard issue, I'd check the LED flex
cable, which seems to also control the power button and the
AccessDirect button (That little "i" button). I pulled it out and
reinserted it, and it works fine now.

* needed to change the "pdiode1 and pdiode2" ranges to be 1000 mV for
Dave/Maria's PAR sensors which are:
https://www.apogeeinstruments.com/sq-110-sun-calibration-quantum-sensor/
Actually, I think that Dave's PAR sensors are the apogee SQ-500 sensors:
https://www.apogeeinstruments.com/sq-500-full-spectrum-quantum-sensor/
;for photodiode sensors:
10: Volt (Diff) (P2)
1: 1 Reps
2: 23 200 mV, 60 Hz Reject, Slow Range
3: 10 DIFF Channel
4: 12 Loc [ pdiode_1 ]
5: 1.0 Mult
6: 0.0 Offset
11: Volt (Diff) (P2)
1: 1 Reps
2: 23 200 mV, 60 Hz Reject, Slow Range
3: 12 DIFF Channel
4: 13 Loc [ pdiode_2 ]
5: 1.0 Mult
6: 0.0 Offset
* So, I can just replace "pdio1" and "pdio2" with Dave Bowlings PAR sensors...
* old setup in niwot.xml:
* from XX:XX-XX:XX MST, installed KZ PAR-LITE at top of tower.
Notes: uses DIFF ch.9, this is "PAR2.up" in data system.
wiring:
white wire = H
green wire = L

Friday, June 16th, 2017 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB, DB, MG, DE, CF, KG, TM
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap LI-COR bottles
(never did that)
Weather: A bit breezy, and sunny.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
* all the tower sections (from west robot, leaning tower, and old NCAR
tower) were now near the main tower. The two Daves, Maria, and Troy
were erecting the first new subcanopy tower near a large spruce tree
(S3) in the sap flow area. It was hard work.
* the spectrometer telescope is now at the top tower level (Troy and
Katja did this the previous day). all the cables are going into the
shed. Christian was building a rodent-fence around the computer and
electronics box. Katja gave me a quick description of how to reboot
the computer, etc.
---------
* Span cylinder at 870 psi. N2 at 750 psi
* at 13:07 MST, changed the li7200 power setpoint from 3.5 Watts to 2.0 Watts
* note: initially, could not connect to LI-7200...could not ping
'lynette'...checked cables/network connections, then it started
working...not sure how long this connection has been out? (i think
the only thing it will affect is the clock syncing)...
* at 12:45 MST, started mark_12.csi

Weather: Sunny and a bit breezy. There was a big storm a week earlier
that laid down about 2-3' of snow at the site...there was still a
remnant of this snow everywhere (especially in the forest). However,
a lot melted near C1 and MRS while we were at the site. Como creek
is flowing nicely.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Enterprise economy rental.

was having a problem...Peter F and I took up the keyboard, mouse, and
monitor and hooked up to the computer and it appears the usb D: drive
was dead...not sure if that was the primary problem, but the FLING
software they used was doing something strange. did a soft reboot and
then it was ok and Andrew R logged in and started doing stuff...note:
I left the problematic usb drive taped to the bottom of the box with
the computer in it...

Subject: tree sampling/damage near US-NR1 AmeriFlux tower?
Hi,
I was at the site yesterday and we noticed two of the trees right next
to the fence around the tower had some scraping/damage done to
them...it looks like a nail was driven into them and bark was removed?
Here are two photos:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/170524/pic00019.jpg
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/170524/pic00020.jpg
It could be that this has been here for quite a while and I never
noticed it before...but the duct tape around the trees looks rather
new...and I don't recall seeing this before...so my question:
Does anyone know what was done to these two trees?
I know many of the trees at the site have been poked and prodded and
probed over the years..but I would be curious to know what was done to
these two and why (being right next to the tower, these are rather
important trees)...they are just outside the fence around the tower,
to the west of the tower...
thanks for any info/help!
SpB.

Hi Sean-
Great example of why we ask for the research application forms. I am not aware
who did this or what the project is. Dave Bowling is starting up a new
project, though I don't think this was his handiwork. Maybe Jen might have an
idea.

Hi all,
This was a part of my ongoing canopy interception project at Niwot -
the original application was in March 2014 (time lapse camera
network), though it has morphed/expanded a little since then. I
probably should have notified and updated the permit before this
particular activity, so I apologize for that. Please let me know what
I need to do to rectify that mistake.
The bark removal and nails were for an impact excitation test that I
conducted in March 2017. Basically I was trying to measure the speed
of sound propagated upward through the tree bole from tapping of a
nail. This information can be used to approximate the flexibility
(modulus of elasticity) of the trees. I realize these are important
trees, being next to the tower, so I tried to minimize damage. These
happen to be the trees where I have accelerometers installed (through
coordination with Sean Burns) to measure tree sway (and to get at
interception).
Please follow up with me directly if you need more information.
Thanks,
Mark

"canopy towers" and using the davit:

Hi Dave/Maria,
I was at the site yesterday...later today or tomorrow, I'll send an
update about the snow and include the UCLA/JPL group....here are a few
photos of the canopy towers and how they are guyed...
North canopy tower and "leaning" towers are each 5-sections...note
that each tower section is around 183.5 cm tall so 5 sections will get
you to almost 10m:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/170524/pic00012.jpg
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/170524/pic00021.jpg
Also, note that we will continue to use the N canopy tower so it
should remain where it is (as you already know)...When Andrew
Turnipseed (and/or his helpers) setup these canopy towers (before my
time so I'm not sure exactly when, but sometime before Jan 2003) they
simply wrapped the guy wires around trees which they used as anchors
along with a turnbuckle for tension adjustments amd wire cable clamps
to hold the guy wire in place...ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/170524/pic00015.jpg
this is not the best method because it has essentially girdled all the
trees being used as anchors...you could probably use some rubber
tubing to make this a bit better, but I much prefer how NCAR did it
which is:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/160729/pic00032.jpg
At the tower end, there is a ring on each tower section...so the cable
can be looped through this ring, ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/170524/pic00016.jpg
For the 5-tower sections, only the top section is anchored...and there
is one anchor line coming off from each corner of the tower...it's
probably ok, but if the leaning tower had another level of anchors it
might not have tipped...and, perhaps one of the guy wires came
loose?...the guy wires appear to be 1/8" cable, ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/170524/pic00023.jpg
If you need any other info, please let me know....
thanks!

Hi Dave,
good question...I helped with the davit a few times, but it was a long
time ago...there are photos here which are helpful (and much better
than my memory!):
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/photos_030613.html
it looks like the davit connects to the tower sections like this:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/030613/pic00006.jpg
the davit sticks up above the section it's attached to and you can haul
up/down the tower sections with people on the ground using a
rope/pulley, ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/030613/pic00011.jpg
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/030613/pic00009.jpg
I cannot say what type of condition the rope on the davit will be in
(or even if it's still there or not)...but there is some rope in the
TGA shed at the tower which would likely work...or, if you have an old
climbing rope that would probably be even better..
also, you might need a crowbar or some such device to pry some of the
sections apart?....
SpB.

Thursday, May 4th, 2017 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap LI-COR bottles
(never did that)
Weather: Sunny and warm. Calm. Snow from last weekend. the
snowpack is holding up pretty well. But supposed to be very
warm the next few days...
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Enterprise economy rental.
* picked up some plastic bins, zip ties to bring to
the shed.
* continued to remove the feces-laden insulation in the TGA shed
(yuck!). [today I removed 3 bags of it].
* duane took up some of this stuff in the new snowcat.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1170 psi. N2 at 1300 psi
* snow depths:
closest to tree = top 10cm visible
TP101 461 middle probe = 88 cm
farthest probe = 93 cm
* I prepared the little bottles for the LI-COR IRGAs, but then I
didn't have a chance to swap them (ran out of time). Left the new
little bottles double-wrapped in a plasitic bag in the TGA shed...
* from 13:52-13:55 MST, adjusted flow of N2/Span for LI-6262 (flow rate
is VERY high, over 10 lpm)...
* figured out the issue with Rpi2...it's now working! The problem was
in the .profile file, ie:
pi@raspberrypi ~# ls -lag .profile*
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi 676 Apr 27 20:43 .profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi 1395 Dec 1 2015 .profile~
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi 1395 Dec 1 2015 .profile_orig
pi@raspberrypi ~#
I had done some mods to this file to make nidas work....a good file
to check when problems happen:
pi@raspberrypi ~# ls -lag .xsession-errors*
-rw------- 1 pi 8679 Apr 27 20:51 .xsession-errors
-rw------- 1 pi 203 Mar 30 23:51 .xsession-errors.old

this was where the error was listed:

/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: 43: /home/pi/.profile: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "fi")
* downloaded logger data (note, the time on the files is OFF!..but the
times should be fine on the Dell latitude laptop...perhaps this
happened because I copied the files to the Rpi2):

---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap Nupro filters, clean
LI-7200
Weather: Sunny and warm. Not much wind.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* a mountain lion crossed 10' in front of my jeep at the mouth of
boulder canyon!
* removed the pile of snow off the roof of the TGA shed
* started removing the feces-laden insulation in the TGA shed (yuck!).
* Kris Hess and Henry B. came out with a chain saw and removed the trees along
the trail as well as two at the tower (one leaning tree was resting on a guy
wire, the other was a dead tree with a large crack in the base which was leaning
towards the tower).
---------
* Span cylinder at 1370 psi. N2 at 1600 psi
* brought ccXXXXXX from C-1 trailer to the tower (in shed)
* snow depths:
closest to tree = top 10cm visible
TP101 461 middle probe = 90 cm
farthest probe = 98 cm
* from 13:20-14:10 MST, cleaned the LI-7200 windows and cell
* from 15:00-16:00 MST, swapped the 2-micron Nupro filter at LI-6262
inlet (big increase in the flow rate!)
Aux Flow Aux= cell pressure voltage
prior to swap -893 8.13
after swap -246 10.2
* for Rpi2: worked ok, but needed to update the IP for urquell in

Thursday, March 30th, 2017 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap N2
Weather: Calm and warm. Still lots of snow on the ground, but
easy to walk on. The melt has started and quite a bit of bare
ground opened up at MRS while I was at the site...
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* wasn't planning to come up today, but a big storm is forecast for
Fri-Sat. First visit since my back injury...
* a NEW tree was knocked down and crosses the trail just past
como creek (about 300' past the one from last visit!)...
* two NEON people were working just upstream from the bridge
at Como Creek (they were working on "sensors")...
* met the new LTER field tech, Curtis
---------
* Span cylinder at 1600 psi. N2 at 400 psi
* from 14:00-14:15 MST, stopped cc267882 (N2) and started cc488594 at 1800 psi.
* moved cc443821 (N2) from C-1 trailer to tower base; moved cc267882
(N2, empty) from tower to inside trailer; moved cc488594 from TGA
shed to tower base (and started using it).
* snow depths:
closest to tree = top 15cm visible
TP101 461 middle probe = 95 cm
farthest probe = 95 cm
* russter2 still booted (barely!)
* tried to setup the Rpi2 at the shed...it worked, booted ok, came up
with network, etc. However, 'startx' fails (see photos for errors).
* To-DO list:
- setup the Rpi2 out in the bowling TGA shed...
- setup a new prop-vane at the top of the tower (connect to CNR logger!)
- move the last working camera (?) to point at fence...
* downloaded logger data:

Weather: Very windy and warm. Still lots of snow on the ground, but
easy to walk on (frozen layer covered with thin layer of fresh).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up enterprise rental.
* a tree was knocked down and crosses the trail just past
como creek (let MRS know)...
* duane was pumping...

878: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Fri 10-Jul-2020 12:59:26 MDT, site visit on Monday, February 13th, 2017 (SpB)
Monday, February 13th, 2017 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap span tank
Weather: Lots of snow on the ground. Calm and overcast most of
the day. Near freezing. It was very warm/windy last Fri and the
snow apparently melted.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up enterprise rental.
* power outage from last Fri-Sat evening
* the snow in front of the door to the trailer was quite deep!
* lots of needles/branches/debris on the snowpack...saw about 12 trees
that had been snapped off (typically at about 10m above the snow
surface). One near the snowtemp probes, luckily nothing hit the
tower. Note: The tree that fell several years ago is starting to lean
a bit on a guy wire...
* went and checked on Dean/USGS tower (no trees hit it). Seems like
there was more tree damage near his tower...
* a group of people had been out to the tower (on snowshoes)...it
looks like they didn't veer from the trail, but opened the TGA
shed. Also, a snow-mobile made the trip to the tower (so the trail
was very well-packed).
---------
* Span cylinder at < 100 psi --> 1800 psi. N2 at 900 psi
* from approx 15:30-15:40 MST, removed cc175573 (span) and started
cc153444 at 1800 psi
* found a small leak in the 1/4" tubing connection to the regulator
(tightened it, and it seemed better). It also sounded like air was
leaking out of the main cylinder valve (but this seemed to go away
after a short time?)...
* the RM Young prop-vane at 25m, lost it's "prop".
* the power outage knocked out the battery for the 2.5m LI-7500A. I
unplugged power, but might also need to reset the charger (not sure it
will recover or not)...
* downloaded logger data:

Monday, January 23rd, 2017 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data
Weather: Lots of snow on the ground. Calm conditions with steady, light
snow falling all day. Fairly warm. Supposed to be colder later in
the week.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* met the new MRS manager (Kris Hess, kris.hess@colorado.edu). He lives in Ned.
* last week: visited the CU property services to find a 2nd laptop
to backup the Dell Latitude that I'm using at the site.
* someone had been out to near the tower (on snowshoes)...it seems
like they left something in the TGA shed (a snow measurement kit?)...
---------
* Span cylinder at 200 psi. N2 at 1200 psi
* moved cc488594 (n2) from trailer to tower, moved cc319297 (n2) from
tower to trailer
* Fixed T3 and T11 at the NCTC logger, still need to fix/replace the
26-m prop vane + replace dome on the 2m REBS Q*7.1
* brought up ascarite II (co2 scrubber) and small LI-COR bottles to
replace in the LI-CORs at the tower.
* downloaded logger data:

Sunday, January 1st, 2017 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data
Weather: Lots of snow on the ground at the site (except in wind-blown
places). Rather windy. Winds were calmer just before leaving so able
to download CNR logger data. A big cold front is supposed to arrive
this week so I pushed to do the trip on 1/1.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* pretty quiet at the MRS. Noticed that a metal cover on the building
of the MRS lodge was flapping in the wind (email Bill B).
* No more snowmobile, so broke trail to the tower (going to need to
use snowshoes quite a bit this winter).
* happy new year!
---------
* Span cylinder at 410 psi. N2 at 1550 psi
* the prop vane at the top of the tower is in rough shape (not turning
smoothly in a low or medium wind)...
* downloaded all logger data:

Thursday, December 15th, 2016 Visit:
-------------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap N2
Weather: Lots of snow at the site (over my knee). Rather
windy, but warm (severe cold front coming on Friday night!).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* left red snow shovel in the TGA shed.
* Caught a ride with Duane in the sweet new/used snowcat!
* since they no longer drive the snowmobile out to service the TGA, it
was hard work breaking trail and dragging cylinders! (need to spend
more time, used snowshoes, etc).
---------
* Span cylinder at 600 psi. N2 at 250 --> 1900 psi
* from 15:00-15:15 MST, stopped cc448922 (N2) and started cc267882 at 1900 psi.
* moved cc262930 (span) from C-1 trailer to TGA shed; moved cc316615 (N2,
empty) from tower to inside trailer
* downloaded logger data:

-rw-r--r-- 1 sburns aster 806870 Dec 14 2016 ucb11_14.dat
note, the clock on the laptop might have the wrong month? ie, what I
saw was:

* It turned out the issue was more than an issue with just the
firewall. Here is a summary from Gordon:
---------------
Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2016 07:39:19 MST
To: Sean Burns
From: Gordon Maclean
Subject: titan and Tcpu
Things look good.
I added the cpu temperature. It is called Tcpu in the xml. Reports
every 10 seconds.
To see it in real time:
data_dump -i 1,26 -p
When you do a "dup" or on boot, a little shell script runs, called
get_cpu_temp.sh. It is in /home/daq/isfs/projects/NIWOT/ISFS/scripts.
It copies the temperature to a file that nidas reads.
Re: the ethernet problem. The bad message is
Nov 11 00:03:21 localhost kernel: dm9000 dm9000.0: status check fail: 179
That message is from /var/log/kern.log.1, which was when it died
Thursday night at 0Z.
So, from time to time you should check if they are happening:
fgrep "check fail" /var/log/kern.log
You can also check for messages from the net_check.sh script:
fgrep net_check /var/log/daemon
You'll see some from when I was testing things:
Nov 14 20:45:02 localhost net_check.sh[6072]: doing ifdown eth0
Nov 14 20:45:02 localhost net_check.sh[6072]: doing ifup eth0
That is an indication that the ping failed and net_check.sh did its
ifup/ifdown thing.

Friday, November 11th, 2016 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: check on titan DSM
Weather: cool and dark in afternoon.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
---------
* Span cylinder at xxx psi. N2 at xxx psi
* we were heading up in the afternoon, but then Gordon had an idea
that perhaps a cron job on the titan changed the firewall to exclude
CU access.
* we checked with CU network ops and they opened the CU firewall to
access from NCAR, but we still could not log into isffa.
* so at 3:30 I headed up to the tower to make sure data were being
collected---data were being collected (which was the main priority),
and it was not quite clear how/why the system was not accessible from
CU or NCAR...

Purpose of visit: deploy updated titan DSM, download logger data
Weather: Fairly calm and warm, clouded up in PM.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
* Gordon came along to help with the installation
---------
* Span cylinder at 1000 psi. N2 at 1400 psi
---it was working when we left the site, but when it started the rsycn
job from urquell at 0Z, we lost contact with isffa and the UDP process
stopped!!

Friday, October 21st, 2016 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: move gas cylinders, install LI-7200 heated inlet
Weather: Mostly overcast and cool.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Avis rental (suv), my BIKE was stolen while at the site!
* met Clay from NEON who was setting up the creek station (he showed
me the inside of the box near C-1...they have a satellite internet
connection).
* Duane K was pumping air at C-1 so my exit was delayed by 30-min! At
this time bumped into John Knowles and Will Wieder who were working
higher up on the ridge (on the way down the hill).
* put electrical tape on a few spots where the fiber optic cable is
looking damaged.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1000 psi. N2 at 1400 psi
* moved cylinders from the snowshed up to C-1...here are the cylinders
I moved:
New cylinders moved from snowshed to C1 on 10/21/2016:
N2: cc443821 (fcw630), cc488560 (elh118), cc488594 (elh119), cc488576 (elh120)
co2/span: cc262858 (bde549) 387.4 ppm, cc262930 (apw499) 411.1 ppm.

Subject: Re: Cylinders
Hi Jim, all,
I moved my cylinders from the snowshed to C-1 today...there are still
6 cylinders in the snowshed and I have no record of ordering any of
them...Maria or Jen, are these your cylinders? Or, Heather, can you
track when/who ordered them using the cylinder numbers I list below?
Does anyone else store cylinders in the snowshed? Anyway, I moved
them all against the wall and put the rope around them...here are the
ones that are still there:
-------------------
Other cylinders in the snowshed (checked on 10/21/2016, I have no
record of me ordering any of these cylinders, moved all against the
wall of snowshed):
N2 dde968 (no cap)
N2 apv104 cc141649
N2 apx697 cc319266
5% co2 apw529 sg9159637
5% co2 bps237 cc63066
5% co2 apl788 cc262422
-------------------
Also, after the dust cleared in the TGA shed, I found an extra
cap...on my way down I'll put that extra cap on the N2 cylinder in the
snowshed that doesn't have a cap...
In May or June, I'll move my empty cylinders back down to the snowshed
and likely order a few more cylinders...so you will hear from me again
around that time...
thanks!
SpB.
* from 14:20-15:00 MST, swapped the LI-7200 inlet tube (for the heated tube)
- prior to swapping inlets, noted the following:
-- for LI-7200, flow rate is set to 10.3 SLPM
--> also note, the motor drive is at 90%!?!?
at 14:20 MST, turned off flow
- swapped inlet...what to set heater to? the manual suggests 4 watts
(6 for a humid location)...I set it to 3.5 W.
- Note: I put an extra layer of insulation around the entire tube (the
black foam pipe insulation that is everywhere at the site)...
at 15:08 MST, flow module back on...now drive motor is at 32%!
pressure drop much smaller....so the old filter must be dirty!

Hi Dave,
Yesterday, I took another walk over to the west robot and confirmed
that the tower sections I found on my 7/29 visit were actually the
west robot tower sections...
I also dug into old emails and found that we moved the two old east
robot tower sections and added them to what was left of the NIWOT02
tower..we did this on July 11th, 2007....there are a few photos from
when we did this here:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/photos_070711.html
I think the idea was that Maggie (post-doc with Russ) wanted to access
higher up in the trees with her PAR wands...
To summarize here are the tower sections which are available:
West robot (2 tower sections)
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/160729/pic00027.jpg
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/160817/pic00019.jpg
"Leaning tower" (5 tower sections)
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/160729/pic00024.jpg
NIWOT02 tower (w/ East Robot) (4 sections)
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/160729/pic00029.jpg
The locations of the west robot and NIWOT02 tower are shown on this
map:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/plots_cme/niwot_map_040818.png
where the NIWOT02 tower is labeled as "NCAR Tower (2002)". The
"leaning tower" is shown as a small circle about 25 m due west of the
main AmeriFlux tower...

Hi Dave,
the leaning canopy access tower (ie, the one closest to the main
tower) has 5 sections...looks like:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/160729/pic00024.jpg
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/160729/pic00025.jpg
it took some searching, but I found the old "NIWOT02" ncar
tower...don't know who these sections actually belong to...I
think Alex Guenther, but he left NCAR several years ago...there
are 4 sections there and the davit:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/160729/pic00028.jpg
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/160729/pic00029.jpg
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/160729/pic00030.jpg
there are two trees leaning on the top of the tower, ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/160729/pic00031.jpg
and some hardware still there:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/160729/pic00032.jpg
two sections from the "west robot" are still there, ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/160729/pic00027.jpg
i went to the east robot and there was nothing there...I searched
through some old emails and it seems like Maggie Prater (post-doc with
Russ) moved them in 2007...I'll have to look more at my emails next
week to see if I can figure out where they moved them to...she just
wrote that she wanted to move them "somewhere North"...it could also
be that what I thought was the west robot was actually the two
sections Maggie moved...I'll double check this next time I'm at the
site...
so, more next week, but that is a quick summary of what's
available...we also have a long ladder, ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/160729/pic00023.jpg
but that is probably not very useful for winter sampling...
do you know where you plan to move the tower sections?
thanks!
SpB.

863: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Thu 01-Sep-2016 14:17:21 MDT, site visit on Wednesday, July 6th, 2016 (SpB., DB, MG, B)
Wednesday, July 6th, 2016 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB, DB, MG, B
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap out the niwot5 phenocam
Weather: Hot and rather windy for the summer.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep (parked at MRS).
* hiked up the power line.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1850 psi. N2 at 1050 psi
* Dave Bowling and Maria and Brett were at the site cleaning up the
TGA...Dave got it working again and they are making preparations for
it's removal later in the summer.
* swapped the niwot4 camera (one of the color channels appears to have
shifted) with a new niwot5 camera. Several emails with Andrew
Richardson and Steve K about this...

Thursday, June 16th, 2016 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check on span, swap TGA cr5000.
Weather: Very warm and clear. I could find one small patch of snow
about 100' from the road in the forest...other than that, no snow to
be seen. And the flow down the trail was actually quite small...Como
was high, but not too high. Summer has arrived!
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep (parked at MRS). There was a tour and BBQ
so it was very busy at MRS...
* there was a "CFIS" overflight by Christian Frankenberg at caltech.
They were at approx 17k feet...I didn't see the plane...
* it was extremely hazy and smoggy looking down onto the
plains...also, there seemed to be some smoke in the mts too?
* hiked up the power line.
---------
* Span cylinder at 50 ---> 2000 psi. N2 1300 psi
* at approx 13:00 MST, removed cc355203 and started cc175573 at 2000 psi
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 0
TP101 461 middle probe = 0
farthest probe = 0
* at 13:05 MST, disconnected 5V power to Az sensors (MARK logger)
* from 13:07-13:10 MST, adjusted span/zero flow in LI-6262
* turned on fan for LI-6251 enclosure
* spent some time swapping the TGA CR5000...there was
still a problem...so this didn't fix the issue...
* note, removed the one working PCMCIA card (it's in the
reader)...left one there to test...need to test all these cards!
* downloaded logger data:

Thursday, June 2nd, 2016 Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB, HB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check on span,
try to fix TGA cr5000.
Weather: warm, some breezes, and a few clouds. Surprisingly, still
plenty in the forest....not as much melting near trees as I would
expect. Supposed to warm up over the next week. I expect the snow
will go quickly....
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep (parked at MRS).
* Road to C-1 is OPEN...there is a bit of a mess there...I guess the
trench NEON dug last fall turned in quicksand...a MRS SUV got stuck
there...futher up the road, the snowcat is sitting DOA.
* the water at Barker Res was going over the spillway (with a quite
good flow rate!).
* hiked up the power line.
---------
* Span cylinder at 200 psi. N2 1510 psi
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 34
TP101 461 middle probe = 50
farthest probe = 58
* recorded the SNs for the UC and MARK 23X loggers...
UC: sn 2091
MARK: sn 2768
UCB: sn 6425
* hauled a deep-cycle battery and battery maintainer from the trailer
to the shed (to use with the TGA CR5000).

The logger has failed and it will not compile the program that it
was running on Monday.
We cannot collect any data until the logger is replaced. As we
discussed, the main reason to continue to collect data is to
support your profile measurements - I'm ready to pull the plug now.
Please close the tank valves on all the tanks (should be 8) and
turn off the power to the pumps. When you can get back to make the
changes we'll fire it back up.
Hills, we still need to keep it cold (LN2 fills) and keep
collecting needles. We need to keep the internet stuff going and
power for the sapflux system.
Thanks Sean,

is that why it doesn't compile? I don't have

At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap N2.
Weather: warm, light breezes, and high clouds. The snow in open
places is gone...still plenty in the forest, but not much post-holing

* was planning to use cc319297, but found that it's pressure was only
at 800 psi!! (so I suspect it has a leak in the tank?)....check it
next time and, if stable, could probably use it...

Hi all,
A new update: I managed to outsmart myself. In addition to the
regular data tables, I had the logger saving table files each
night. Turns out that the table files were still available from
March 17 through last night at midnight.
I've downloaded all of them, and updated the datalogger
programs. Now the loggers are saving 30sec data and 5min data,
along with the 5min table files. That means the 5min table is good
for more than 50 days of storage.
That means, I think we are only missing 2 hrs of IRR data from this
morning (6:30 - 8:30am MST) when I was messing around with
everything on the computer and dataloggers. I'll verify all of this
after I download and backup all the images and pair/plot data.

successful bootup was on March 23rd..here is what the screen looked
like when I first plugged in the monitor:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/160421/pic00014.jpg
I rebooted and a similar screen came up...it said "Attempting repairs"
and that little blue bar in the middle was going back and
forth...seemed to be hanging up there....and, if I recall correctly, I
hit "cancel" and then it bypassed this screen and finished booting
correctly. After that, it booted up ok.
Other photos from yesteday are here:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/photos_160421.html
The computer in the shed is shown here:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/160421/pic00029.jpg
I left it with the monitor turned off (but the monitor, keyboard, and
mouse are all attached to the computer)...it's probably good to have
this as a backup in case the same thing happens with the old
computer..
it's a bummer that those images were lost at a time when the forest is
becoming active...I would be interested to see the canopy IR data
when/if you have a chance to share them...
thanks!
SpB.

Subject: Thermal camera report
Good morning everyone,
The primary computer on the tower rebooted and reconnected to the
thermal camera just fine last night. Automated image logging is back
to normal.
I checked and I can properly connect to the camera using the backup
computer now located in the shed. That computer is just going to sit
idle and unused, unless we have another issue with the primary
computer.
We are missing images from 12:00AM on March 23 until 1:15PM on April
21.
Since the computer was hanging up on a system screen before the
Windows OS started, the datalogger data were never downloaded until
yesterday. Unfortunately, our data rate means that the datalogger
table fill time is about 18 days for the 5-minute measurements
because I am also keeping 1 day of raw data (5-second data). That
means we are missing IRR canopy temperatures for March 23 until April
4. Dave, can you check the bole temperatures re cord on the trees
whose heat ratio sap flux sensors are still working and let me know
if this IRR data goes back far enough to overlap with when the trunks
were still frozen? Andrew, should I stop logging the raw data and
simply record 5-minute records with the datalogger? I was saving the
raw data so that if we changed image frequency, we always had data to
compare to. Or I could change the raw data interval to 30sec.
Thank you again to Sean and Hills for all your help with this. Its a
frustrating problem to have a computer error wreak havoc, but at least
we dont have any completely dead equipment.
Cheers,
~Don

the computer appeared to be hung-up doing a system check....I'll send
a photo tomorrow or early next week...we rebooted it a few times (hard
and soft) and it came back ok...Don will know more details...
the 2nd computer is setup in the shed by the TGA (with monitor,
keyboard, mouse)..hills, hopefully it is not in your way. your
backpack is hanging on a peg in the shed.

-------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check
on the flir camera
Weather: cool (near freezing), light breeze, and sunny. lots
of new snow since my last visit!
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* hiked up the snow mobile track.
* couldn't make it all the way to MRS---parked along the road below
MRS. While I was at the site almost all the snow on the road melted!
---------
* Span cylinder at 600 psi. N2 1000 0 psi
* checked the serial numbers on the CR23Xs..they are:
RAD/rad: sn 2089

Hi Don,
thanks...back in trailer now...hopefully it comes back up after
midnight...your list of stuff looks correct. I'll have
a few photos that I'll post later...
also, next week I can email the CU network folks and maybe
they can tell us the IP addresses of everything on our
subnet....from that we might be able to figure out what
that computer is using (or whether it actually has an IP)...

I don't think it's TC junction itself..looks like the wires have been
twisted at the base of the metal support...so swapped the TC at the
connector with one of the TCs connected to the "mark" cr23x...it's one
of the ones that is just below the platform. after that, it worked
ok...the T9 temperature seemed reasonable (but there might be some
change at this level?)...
I left the TC junction from Mark cr23x open (nothing connected to
it)....

Friday, January 29th, 2016 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap N2?
Weather: windy, but not too cold.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Avis Kia (brand new!).
* caught a ride from Duane in the snowcat to C1. the "snow pit" crew
of about 5 people was out near the tower doing a snow pit (they were
heading down the trail as I was arriving).
* found some "eldo" sunscreen in the shed, also there
is a small mammal trap there..who to contact?
---------
* Span cylinder at 1100 psi. N2 at 430 psi (was planning to swap N2,
but pressure seems "ok", so left as-is).
* hauled cc448922 (n2) to the tower.
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 49 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 60 cm
farthest probe = 67 cm
* since the pcmcia cards for the MRS logger are a bit suspicious, I
brought the memory card reader (MCR1) with me and downloaded at the
site. Need a csi card storage module (CSM1) to test the older cards.
* from 14:08-14:10 MST, adjusted span/N2 flow in the LI-6262 system.
* checked the soil logger voltage and the charger swap I made on 18
January fixed the slowly dropping voltage!
* downloaded logger data:

Weather: very windy, sunny, cold. plenty of snow on the trail and in
the forest.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* Hills was doing TGA stuff.
* last visit of the year!

* Span cylinder at 1400 psi. N2 at 1200 psi
* was going to add the snow-therm IR sensor, but decided to prepare it
in town (bring next time!). ch12 on met logger is open.
* the PCMCIA card from Jen labeled "soddie 3-23-12" had a problem (see
screen shot).
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 484040 Dec 18 15:47 screenshot_151218_pccard_issue.png
* at around 14:40 MST, swapped out the battery charger for LI-7500A
(21.5m)...this was the yuasa XXX...on Monday, 12/21, had lost contact
with the 21.5m LI-7500A again! (ugh!)...
lost a lot of data from this IRGA in the past month..here is a summary:

Hi Jen,
I found the pcmcia cards...one of them appears to have a dead battery,
but the others all seemed fine...there was some data on some of them
(most of it quite old)..I downloaded the data just in case you have
any use for it...the data files I found were:

I put these three files in a zip file that you can download from here
in case they are needed:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/pcmcia_files_jen.zip
these cards will be quite helpful--thanks again!
looks like the winds are blowing hard today!

* the towerCAMtree had dead batteries....and the cloudCAMwest camera
was dead...so I moved the towerCAMtree up to the cloudCAMwest location
(it seemed to be working ok when I left). For all cameras, I lowered
the photo sample timing from every 5-min to every 10-min.

850: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Thu 01-Sep-2016 11:38:36 MDT, site visit on Friday, November 13th, 2015 (SpB)
Friday, November 13th, 2015 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: swap N2 tank, download logger data, diagnose
problem with LI-6251.
Weather: Sunny and breezy. Snow on the trail and in the forest.
Possible BIG storm early next week.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Avis subcompact (CU motor pool no longer rents
vehicles).
* forgot to bring AA batteries for my camera, so borrowed them
from Jen at MRS.
* Duane drove old snocat up to C1. Found a shovel in front of
the trailer---moved it inside.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1700 psi. N2 at 200-->1870 psi
* snow depths (from top of tape!):
closest to tree = 29 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 28 cm
farthest probe = 20 cm
* at approx 14:00 MST swapped N2, removed cc153282 (N2) started
cc453413 at 1870 psi
* dragged two empty cylinders back to C1: cc254814 (span), cc153282 (N2)
put them in front of the trailer.
* from 13:00-14:00 MST, turned off pumps (knf and big pump) to LI-6251
(prof). The prof system has not been working (it had some issues,
but really stopped working in July, 2015). The pumps both seemed to
be ok, but it seems like the valves are not changing properly. This
will require more serious dismantling and probably can't be done
until following snowmelt next spring....for now, I left the LI-6251
itself running, but can probably turn it off on a future visit.
* the middle prof inlet (14m?) had come loose from the support...since
no longer using prof system, just zip-tied it to the tower.
* at around 15:00 MST, rebooted charger for LI-7500A (21.5m)...it was
working briefly, but within several hours appears to be off-line
again. this battery charger is not working!!
* at around 15:15 MST, repaired tc.csat4..this was a broken fine-wire
TC...now it's a "thick" tc.
* removed power supply and SDM cable for old LI-7500 (sent to
AmeriFlux)...was hoping to use this power supply for the 21.5m
LI-7500A/LI-7550, but the power connector is not the same. So,
removed the box from the tower (it's in the TGA shed).
* tried to fix up east looking cam...downloaded data from it:
-rw-r--r-- 1 sburns aster 2655344640 Nov 23 2015 /data3/photos_webcam_mark/photos_cloudcam_east_151113.tar
* took a screenshot of TC logger desktop during download (this shows
which channels have problems!):
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 473879 Nov 13 12:19 screenshot_151113a.png*
* added the PC card to the MRS logger (download is for only previous 3
days)

Monday, November 2nd, 2015 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: swap span tank, download logger data, collect
data from LI-7500a (21.5m) with data system.
Weather: warm, sunny, calm. Snow expected later in the week. First
site visit this fall with snow on the ground.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep. had a mishap trying to get up the road---slid
down and off the road. was able to get back on road with some small
damage...ugh!
* it looks like our cart has been destroyed, ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/151102/pic00004.jpg
....(see emails below, with Nick from NEON)...
*
---------
* Span cylinder at < 100 psi. N2 at 400 psi
* swapped span (details)
* at 16:19 MST, started ops86: removed accel1 output from mark logger
(started mark_11.csi), added analog DAC ouput from LI-7550 connected
to 21.5m LI-7500a.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 sean mmm 9913 Nov 2 14:44 fast_24.csi*
* Also saved the configuration files for both LI-7500A's:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 sean mmm 4753 Nov 2 09:50 LI7500A_op2_21.5m_151102.l7x*
* added DAC ouput from 21.5m LI-7500A (this is the same setup as the
2.5m LI-7500A):
LI-7500A, DAC1 co2 umol/mol 0 V = 360 ppm --> 5V = 450 ppm
DAC2 h20 mmol/mol 0 V = 0 mmol/mol --> 5V = 30 mmol/mol
* moved some of the TCs connected to the am25t mux (mx3) in the
clearing around...the channels I changed were (see photos):
note: mx3 = MUXB = am25t sn 1396
moved sensor that was in mx3_04 to mx3_04, and completely
removed sensor from mx3_04 ie:
removed: Tc_snow_clearing_100cm_mx3_04
moved: Tc_bole_pine16_0m_3cm_mx3_03 to Tc_bole_pine16_0m_3cm_mx3_04
added: Tc_bole_fir2_0_5m_3cm_mx3 to ch 03 --> Tc_bole_fir2_0_5m_3cm_mx3_03
broken TC: Tc_bole_fir2_1_5m_3cm
- Also, added TCs to empty channels 17-21:
original:
---------
'38. Tc_bole_pine16_0m_3cm_mx3_03 '; % added on sept 20th (day 263)
'39. Tc_snow_clearing_100cm_mx3_04 '; % note, stopped working in mid-summer, 2007; used to be "Tc_bole_pine5_0m_3cm_mx3_04", added on day 281 (oct 8t\
h), used to be "Tc_soil_pine16_0m_5cm_mx3_04"
...
'52. Tc_empty_mx3_17 '; % not connected!!
'53. Tc_empty_mx3_18 '; % not connected!!
'54. Tc_empty_mx3_19 '; % not connected!!
'55. Tc_empty_mx3_20 '; % not connected!!
'56. Tc_empty_mx3_21 '; % not connected!!
modified:
---------
'38. Tc_bole_fir2_0_5m_3cm_mx3_03 '; % III.19, brown cable, T-type tc, campbell A3537
'39. Tc_bole_pine16_0m_3cm_mx3_04 '; % brown cable, T-type tc, campbell A3537
...
'52. Tc_bole_spr2_0m_3cm_mx3_17 '; % III.12, T-type tc, campbell A3537
'53. Tc_bole_spr2_1_5m_3cm_mx3_18 '; % III.10, T-type tc, campbell A3537
'54. Tc_bole_spr2_0_5m_3cm_mx3_19 '; % III.11, T-type tc, campbell A3537
'55. Tc_mx3_20 '; % blue tape with "3" on it, T-type tc, campbell A3537 (need to check it in spring)
'56. Tc_bole_fir4_0m_3cm_mx3_20 '; % III.16, T-type tc, campbell A3537
The channels that were not working are: mx3_07, mx3_13, mx3_16
Also, Tc_bole_fir2_1_5m_3cm apparently has a broken TC junction.

Subject: Re: lost contact with tower (again)...
Hi All,
Similar to last week, It looks like we lost contact with tower late on
Friday afternoon (around 5-6pm).
Other sites on Niwot ridge seem ok (such as C1), so this appears to be
a problem only with the network going from C1 to the tower---I'm
planning a trip up on Tuesday to investigate. If anything was done
related to the network late in the afternoon last Friday (9 Oct),
please let me know.
thanks,
SpB.

Hi Jen, that is extremely helpful---thank you! If the network is not
fixed today, I'll call MRS for an update tomorrow.
Hope that Oren is feeling better soon...
cheers,

847: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Thu 01-Sep-2016 11:26:10 MDT, site visit on Wednesday, September 30th, 2015 (SpB, PB, GS, JK)
Wednesday, September 30th, 2015 Visit:
--------------------------------------
At the site: SpB, PB, GS, JK
Purpose of visit: finish removal of eol CSATs, DSM,
cables, etc.
Weather: cloudy with some very light rain. very calm during
removal of equipment.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Suburban. met Peter at foothills lab and Graham
Sexstone (from USGS/CSU) at settlers park.
* it was a busy day at the site (NEON was hauling stuff up/down the
road by C1). John Knowles was helping with the snow fence and
stopped by toward the end of the day.
* this is the LAST day that CU fleet-services will be renting
vehicles.
---------
* Span cylinder at ?? psi. N2 at ? psi (didn't check pressures)
* took down the LI-7500 control box and brought both the head and box
back to CU (to mail to Sebastian). Note, many of the cables and the
power supply (unplugged) are still on the tower.
* in the morning shutdown the "forestcam/sonic" DSM and transferred
all the data to urquell. I also saved all the config files as:

* here is a summary of changes to the thermocouples:
* Updated fine-wire thermocouple deployment info:
variable diff channel Nominal Ht / other info
------- ------------- ---------------------------------------
Ttc.Ttype 6 co-located with "15m" CSAT3 (started on Sept 4th, 2015)
Ttc.csat1 7 4.8m, co-located with "20m" CSAT, at end of boom (need to check this, see below)
Ttc.csat2 8 8m, co-located with TC from NCTC logger ("T3")
Ttc.csat3 9 8.55m, co-located with "10m" CSAT3, moved to end of boom on 7/21 (on 8/18 PM, looks like Ttc.csat3 is having dropouts!)
Ttc.csat4 10 12.25m, co-located with "15m" CSAT3, moved to end of boom and replaced with fine-wire on 8/6 (having dropout issues!!)
Ttc.csat5 11 co-located with 5m CSAT3, on 8/14/15: changed from thick to to fine-wire (and moved closer to path)
Ttc.csat6 12 8.55m, co-located with "10m" CSAT3, fine-wire, deployed on 7/21
* fine-wire thermocouples:
Ttc.csat6, started on 7/21, co-located with "10m" CSAT3
Ttc.csat4, started on 8/6, co-located with "15m" CSAT3 (appears to have dropouts!)
Ttc.csat5, started on 8/14, co-located with "5m" CSAT3
On Sept 4th, made the following changes:
* added a thick T-type thermocouple to 15m level (using diff ch6).
* from 14:30-14:40 MST, in mark logger: swapped diff chan 9
(Ttc.csat3) with diff chan 8 (Ttc.csat2)
- this was an attempt to see if the dropouts in the Ttc.csat3
data are related to Diff ch9 or the wire which goes to the
thermocouple? (this change actually seemed to fix the dropouts?
need to check more carefully).
On Sept 21st, changed the sample rate from 20-Hz to 10Hz.
On Sept 30th, made the following changes (and updated the table): STILL NEED TO FINISH!!
Ttc.Ttype 6 co-located with "15m" CSAT3 (started on Sept 4th, 2015)
Ttc.csat1 7 4.8m, co-located with "20m" CSAT, at end of boom (need to check this, see below)
Ttc.csat2 8 8m, co-located with TC from NCTC logger ("T3")
Ttc.csat3 9 8.55m, co-located with "10m" CSAT3, moved to end of boom on 7/21 (on 8/18 PM, looks like Ttc.csat3 is having dropouts!)
Ttc.csat4 10 ONLY one that was left as a fine-wire (broke on Oct XX 2015)
Ttc.csat5 11 co-located with 5m CSAT3, on 8/14/15: changed from thick to to fine-wire (and moved closer to path)
Ttc.csat6 12 removed fine-wire on 9/30, added to IC
846: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 10-May-2016 11:55:06 MDT, site visit on Monday, September 28th, 2015 (SpB, MR)
Monday, September 28th, 2015 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, MR
Purpose of visit: start removal of eol CSATs, move
gas cylinders.
Weather: cloudy with some sun breaks. a bit of wind, but
nothing too strong. pleasant day.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Suburban. Before leaving town, picked up 7 CSAT3 boxes
from NCAR, picked up 3 gas cylinder from shipping/distribution (Jim at
3300 Walnut), bought two 10' sections of 12 gauge unistrut from Home
Depot.
* ran into Mark Raleigh at MRS (he was going to Soddie + tower, so gave
him and cooley a lift to C1)
---------
* Span cylinder at 400 psi. N2 at 1500 psi
* brought up 2 new N2 cyls, one span (add numbers); moved ccXXXX (n2)
to snowshed
* laptop updates:
1. before coming to the site, swapped the monitor between plumwood
(broken laptop, good monitor) and podocarp (good laptop, broken
monitor).
2. after arriving at the site, the "new" Dell laptop would not boot.
moved the old hard drive back to podocarp. this seems to be
working ok, the hard drive is not the problem!
3. brought the new laptop back to Boulder for more testing...the "A"
light seems to flash on attempted bootup.
* confirmed that the prof pump is up and running (need to investigate
what is going on with the prof system!?).
* removed power from LI-7200 (try running only the LI-7500A with the
battery/charger on tower). The charger was one again showing a
fault error? Here are when the breaks occurred in the power/data:

Monday, September 21st, 2015 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download data, swap AM25T at tc logger.
Weather: sunny, a bit of a breeze. quite warm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Prius. A suburban is scheduled for next Tue/Wed.
* ran into two NEON people (Dylan Monahan and Hannah ?) working in the
stream at bridge over Como creek. They were collecting sediment.
* came up with a possible solution to protect the fiber optic cable at
the bridge--use uni-strut!?!? Perhaps by one long and bring up to the
site next week.
* "new" Dell laptop seems to be working ok.
---------
* Span cylinder at 400 psi. N2 at 1500 psi
call CU and check about new cylinders!!
* battery charger for LI-7200/LI-7550 was showing a fault, reset it (not
sure this will fix it?), pump flow is off
* from 12:30-14:15 MST, at tc23x logger: swapped am25t sn1616 with
sn4370. Checked on a few trees and sensors (need to take photos of
ALL trees with sensor location, etc). Also, there are some sensors
which are not hooked up in the far am25t box.
* at approx 14:30 MST, started mark_09.csi (changed sampling from 20-Hz
to 10-Hz)
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 4812 Sep 21 14:13 mark_09.csi*
* from 15:20-15:30 MST, moved boom for "30m" CSAT from straight to
angled (so now aligned with subcanopy sensors)
* powered up the NOAH cr10x logger.

Friday, September 4th, 2015 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: logger download, work on thermocouples.
Weather: overcast. could see rain in the distance. it sprinkled rain
a bit throughout the day. actually rained a bit in the late
afternoon, but never too hard.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* caught a ride up to C1 with Duane--he mentioned that NEON is putting
in some instruments and power to Como Creek. There was spray paint
near the fiber cable (which appears to be compromised!) at the bridge
over Como (this prompted an email exchange with Bill Bowman and
workers at NEON).
* started using a new dell latitude laptop from ebay...it seemed
to work great, but then when I was in the trailer it acted up.
The "A" light near the start button was flashing and it wouldn't
boot?

---------
* Span cylinder at 550 psi. N2 at 1820 psi
* at 12:00 MST, a slight decrease in sample flow rate of LI-6251 (prof)
* at 12:30 MST, changed bandpass in 2.5m LI-7500 from 20-Hz to 5-Hz

* from 14:30-14:40 MST, in mark logger: swapped diff chan 9
(Ttc.csat3) with diff chan 8 (Ttc.csat2)
- this was an attempt to see if the dropouts in the Ttc.csat3
data are related to Diff ch9 or the wire which goes to the
thermocouple? (this change actually seemed to fix the dropouts?
need to check more carefully).
* I made a distance measurement for Don Aubrecht (note, there is a
long tape measure a the tower, but the 1st 1m has been cut off (it
seems ok). I first measured from the tower corner to the fence and
then from the fence to the locations. Here are emails about this:

Hi Don,
here is what I found:
from tower corner to rock: 922 cm
from tower corner to tree_P1: 1252 cm
The rock measurement was to the pointy side
of the rock which was the side farthest from
the tower...
Also, I moved the big blue box that was somewhat
in the way...
hope that helps!

Subject: make a distance measurement at the tower for me?
Hi Sean and Hills,
I just realized that we forgot to get two distances measured last
week when we were installing the new thermal camera on the tower.
I need these measurements to help calibrate some of the corrections
for the thermal images. In the attached photo, I’ve marked two
spots near the base of the tower, on the east side. One is the
base of Dave’s sap flux tree labelled “P1”, and the other is the
pointy corner of a nearby rock. Next time either of you are at the
tower, could you take a long tape measure and measure the
straight-line distance along the ground between the southeast tower
leg and each of these points?
Thank you very much,
~Don

Hi Bill,
We have been looking into various options for getting power across
the road at Como Creek. We are planning on trenching approximately
85 feet across the road there, which is the most straight forward
option for getting power across the road. This was shown on the
original drawing that I sent you (attached).
We are still working on scheduling, just a heads up on the
trenching activity, let me know if I can provide any additional
info.
Thank you,

Subject: Power/Instruments at Como Creek near C1?
Hi Bill/Matt,
I noticed some spray paint on the ground at C1 and Duane mentioned
that NEON is planning to add a transformer at C1 and run power to
Como Creek...today I noticed conduit staged in the forest near our
trailer, ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/150904/pic00032.jpg
Right now our fiber optic line at the bridge has been chewed on and
looks compromised in a few places...I have been careful not to move
it and need to put something more sturdy around it for more
protection. Can you put me in contact with the people doing this
work (I think Duane mentioned Rainbow Electric?)...and also whoever
is in charge of the entire setup (someone at NEON?)...please ask
them NOT TO MOVE our fiber optic cable...this is our only link to
the tower and if it breaks we lose contact with the tower.
also, it would be very useful to know what/where things are things
being installed...how much power do they need? Do they know that
there is already power not too far from the creek (Dave Bowling
added this a few years ago)?
thanks for your help and any additional information you have!
SpB.

Subject: Fiber Optic Cable near Como Creek (on way to AmeriFlux tower)
Hi Hills,
Yesterday, I marked the spot where the fiber optic cable seems damaged near
Como Creek...all I had time to do was pound in a few metal stakes, ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/150821/pic00028.jpg
I'll followup and make this more visible by adding flagging, etc. I
will also put some kind of a wooden frame around the cable to try and
prevent further damage...I think it's damaged enough that I can see
the individual fibers as shown here:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/150814/pic00019.jpg
Our hope is that if we protect the cable well enough it will keep on
working and not get damaged further...I think there is still plenty of
room for the ATV and/or snowmobile to get by...but let me know if this
is an issue. Note, this location is just past the bridge over como
creek on the way to the tower...
thanks!
SpB.

Thursday, August 27th, 2015 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB, AR, DA
Purpose of visit: meet Andrew R. and Don for IR camera, swap
N2 cylinder.
Weather: overcast.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU prius.
* put some wood around/near the fiber optic cable near the creek (try
to protect it)---can I get some split tubing (either PVC or metal) to
protect the cable better?
---------
* Updated the firmware of LI-7500A OP2 (from embedded version 7.0.1 to 7.5.0)
also updated bootloader (from ver 8 to 9) and checked FPGA (ver 6.0.3), update
not needed.
* time re-check (seems ok):
LI-7200: Fri Aug 28 22:24:35 UTC 2015
urquell: Fri Aug 28 22:24:35 UTC 2015
* at 10:30 MST, reboot LI-7200 (seemed to fix the time issue?)
note: the time on the LI-7200 appears to be slow by around 10 seconds?
LI-7200: Wed Aug 26 18:52:50 UTC 2015
urquell: Wed Aug 26 18:53:00 UTC 2015
LI-7500A, OP1: Wed Aug 26 18:57:50 UTC 2015

LI-7500A, OP2: Wed Aug 26 18:59:18 UTC 2015
urquell: Wed Aug 26 18:59:18 UTC 2015
(both LI-7500A's look good)
the time on isffa seems good:
isffa: Wed Aug 26 18:54:37 GMT 2015
urquell: Wed Aug 26 18:54:37 UTC 2015
is ptpd working? why is LI-7200 not using it?
it appears to be running, ie:

Sunday, August 23rd, 2015 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: investigate prof logger.
Weather: high clouds, still hazy. warm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the SpB bmw wagon.
*
---------
* This was a quick trip with Pei/Jia (who both stayed at MRS) to
investigate why the prof logger went off-line on Friday.
* when moving stuff around last Friday in the power box near the
platform, the prof logger accidentally became unplugged. Plugging it
back in fixed the problem I checked the logger time and made sure the
prf logger program was running properly.
* downloaded logger data:

Friday, August 21st, 2015 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB, DB
Purpose of visit: try new power supply for LI-7200,
swap N2 cylinder.
Weather: Warm with some wind in the afternoon. Very hazy and smoke
from fires in CA, OR, WA is coming into our area.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up in MRS shuttle
*
---------
* Span cylinder at 650 psi. N2 at < 100 psi --> 300 psi.
* at approx 8:30 MST, removed cc142673 (100 psi) re-started cc316422
(n2) at 300 psi (cc316422 is a cylinder used previously that is not
quite empty).
* had a surprise: plumwood would not boot...pulled the hard drive out
of plumwood and put it in podocarp. this booted ok. Unclear why
plumwood is not booting. So, I'm down to one field laptop (should get
a backup). I put the hard drive from podocarp into plumwood (should
probably bring back to campus for further evaluation)
* updated LI-7500A (OP1) firmware from ver 7.0.1 to ver 7.5.0
-- program to use: update7x00.exe (in LI7200_embedded-7 folder)
-- did this change the root password back to default? (yes, it does!)
-- I also updated the boot loader...it said that FPGA update was not
needed (it's at 6.0.3)
see file:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 127894 Aug 21 07:50 li7500A_op1_150821_firmware_update.png*
* added a new charger battery charger (CTEK MUS 4.3) which is supposed
to be able to deal with 4.3 Amps (and should run the LI-7200/pump
module and the LI-7500A). It also has a "cold-weather"
setting/option.
* here are the LI-7200 data files:

* removed the old power supply that was from Hank Loescher (when I
picked it up water came out of it!!). The old power supply was
from xp power and was model ecc100us12, ie:
http://www.xppower.com/EN/100529/ECC100-Series
http://www.plccenter.com/Buy/XP%20POWER/ECC100US12
* at 12:10 MST, adjusted the flow for the LI-6262.
* just before leaving the tower; swapped the 0.9 A charger connected
to the LI-7500A_OP1 with a 1.5A Yuasa "smart shot" charger (the one
that was being used with the LI-7200). Hopefully this will be enough
to stop the LI-7500A_OP1 from dying every two weeks!
* tried to protect the fiber cable near the creek..details are here:

variable diff channel Nominal Ht / other info
------- ------------- ---------------------------------------
Ttc.csat1 7 4.8m, co-located with "20m" CSAT, at end of boom (need to check this, see below)
Ttc.csat2 8 8m, co-located with TC from NCTC logger ("T3")
Ttc.csat3 9 8.55m, co-located with "10m" CSAT3, moved to end of boom on 7/21 (on 8/18 PM, looks like Ttc.csat3 is having dropouts!)
Ttc.csat4 10 12.25m, co-located with "15m" CSAT3, moved to end of boom and replaced with fine-wire on 8/6 (having dropout issues!!)
Ttc.csat5 11 co-located with 5m CSAT3, on 8/14/15: changed from thick to to fine-wire (and moved closer to path)
Ttc.csat6 12 8.55m, co-located with "10m" CSAT3, fine-wire, deployed on 7/21
which one with is with 5m CSAT3?? Either csat1 or csat5....the other is with the "20m" CSAT3.
plot(s_jd_mst,[s_Ttc_csat1 s_tc_20m s_tc_5m]) % this confirms s_Ttc_csat1 is with "20m" CSAT3
plot(s_jd_mst,[s_Ttc_csat5 s_tc_20m s_tc_5m]) % this confirms s_Ttc_csat5 is with "5m" CSAT3
set(gca,'xlim', [226 227])
* fine-wire thermocouples:
Ttc.csat6, started on 7/21, co-located with "10m" CSAT3
Ttc.csat4, started on 8/6, co-located with "15m" CSAT3 (appears to have dropouts!)
Ttc.csat5, started on 8/14, co-located with "5m" CSAT3

839: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 02-Mar-2016 11:29:11 MST, site visit on Thursday, August 6th, 2015 (SpB)
Thursday, August 6th, 2015 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, replace prof pump
Weather:
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up in MRS shuttle
*
---------
* Span cylinder at xxx psi. N2 at xxx psi.
* at 7:00 MST, was able to reboot the LI-7200 by sending the following
command to the instrument:
(LI7200(Program(Reset TRUE)))
* a new profiler micro pump: KNF unmp830kni Dt: 07/2015, No. 1.8503659
* found the tap/die set in the trailer (mine?): tapped out holes to
mount inside the prof enclosure. used tap: 6NC32 (it seemed to be the
only one that would work). the bolts are not perfectly snug, but it
should work ok (note: turn tap clockwise, then counter-clockwise,
repeat).
* at around xx:xx MST, installed KZ PAR-LITE at top of tower.
Notes: uses DIFF ch.9, this is "PAR2.up" in data system.
wiring:
white wire = H
green wire = L
shield = GND.

838: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 02-Mar-2016 11:25:44 MST, site visit on Thursday, July 21st 2015 (SpB, ES, RC, IB, BC)
Tuesday, July 21st, 2015 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB, ES, CSI+
Purpose of visit: CSI removing instruments, move LI-7500, setup TCs.
Weather: Thick clouds most of the day, rain storm in the afternoon,
then clear.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU prius
* the NSF flux class started (saw Dave Moore, Russ).
* CSI was removing all of their equipment from the tower.
---------
* Span cylinder at 860 psi. N2 at 810 psi.
* from 8-10:30 MST, CSI removed CPEC200 and three CSATs from the tower
* at 9:00 MST, completely shutdown/unplugged the picarro shed
* from approx 9-10 MST, moved LI-7500 from 21.5m to be co-located with "20m" CSAT at approx 14m
- the LI-7500 should be moved a bit further out and re-positioned
during a future site visit!
* at 13:45 MST, started ops79: from FAST logger, removed ec155 voltage
added back analog h2o voltage from the LI-7200 h2o.li7200; from MARK
logger, added one more Ttc.sonic6 (started mark_05.csi); removed CSI
CSAT (27m) from sonic dsm. The two new logger programs:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 9372 Jul 21 14:57 fast_23.csi*
the range of h2o.li7200 output on dac2 was: h2o dry (mmol/mol) 0V = 0 5V= 30 mmol/mol
(this is what it was previously)

Thursday, July 16th, 2015 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: make CSAT measurements, download logger data.
Weather: Quite windy and cool. It was clear, then cloudy with a brief
rain shower. Then clear again.
--------- Misc Notes:
* rode up in MRS shuttle.
* researcher from near barcelona was collecting phytoplankton from GL4.
*
---------
* Span cylinder at 900 psi. N2 at 990 psi.
* setup the rope and pulley system for Ed and co-horts at CSI (they
are taking all the CSI stuff off the tower).
* at around 11:00 MST, started ops78: removed accels 3,4,5 increase
sample rate to 20-hz (started mark_04.csi). I first tried to do
this with only removing two accelerometers, but then the sample rate
was at 15 Hz...with only sampling ONE accel then it worked at
20Hz.

* I had to re-start the LI-7200 AGAIN!! it seems like the time was
locked up. I did re-start with the LI-COR software and that seemed to
fix it (however, it seems like the time between these problems is
getting shorter and shorter)...took a few screen shots:

To get the distance to the middle of the CSAT sampling path then the
distance from the top of the strut to the CSAT path needs to be taken
into account..this is:
distance from top of strut to top of boom = 4.5 cm (height of boom,
check measurement)
distance from top of boom to mid-CSAT sampling path = 5cm (this
assumes that the lower transducers are at the same level as the lower
part of the electronics box in head).
so, approx 9.5 cm should be added to the strut heights.

Hi Andrew/Steve,
Thanks for the followup....here is a photo of the enclosure:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/150716/pic00031.jpg
This photo also shows why it is difficult to capture the sky...the
camera is pointed in a direction with a mountain in the
background...so looking in that direction with a limited field of view
(the old camera had a much wider fov) it will be very difficult to get
the sky and look at any trees the old camera was looking at (which may
or may not be important?). I think I'll leave it to Andrew to make
any camera-pointing adjustments when he is here next month...
Also, here is a photo of the inside of the old enclosure:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/150716/pic00013.jpg
this is why I didn't see any tracks in the bottom...this also shows
the "tilt" that was in the old camera...at some point last January it
became unattached from that little metal piece...it also shows how
dirty the window was! I actually don't think I have opened this
enclosure since it was installed (about 6 years ago?)...and I probably
should have (my apologies for that)...
here is the new camera wedged with foam (I also cleaned the window):

ok. Was this overheating problem occurring when the system shutdown

Hi Sean,
It looks like measurements are being made, but the instrument is not
in perfect condition. I see it reading the CPU temperature above 100C,
which may mean a CPU cooling fan failure. The optical cavity is
reporting a correct 80C, and the instrument itself is warm and about
the right temperature.
If you're still there, can you stick you hand near the instrument to
feel if there is air movement. This is likely to be an inconclusive
test, but useful to know if the the chassis fan is running (I assume
yes, and that is it just the fan on the CPU which is bad.
Cheers,
David

Hi Jen/Hills,
It looks like we lost the network connection to the tower at around
17:40 MDT today (Thursday, 9 July)...and when I looked at the on-line
C1 data they appear to have stopped at around that same time....any
idea if this is a power issue or network issue? It looks like I can
ping some of the IP addresses higher up on the ridge so it seems like
this only a C1 problem?
If you have any additional info, please let us know....I'm out of town
until next week, but heard it's been stormy in CO (I'm hoping this is
a network issue and not a power outage or lightning-damage
problem!)....
thanks!

Hi All,
Today Henry and I investigated the network outage at C1...it looks
like the fiber-to-copper converter box at C1 has failed. It appears
to be damage due to lightning (no lights or power on the box). Here
is what failed:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/150713/pic00002.jpg
Henry has been in contact with the CU IT/Network group and they have a
spare one that will replace this one. Not sure when it will be
replaced, but Henry will keep us advised....sounds like it should
happen this week. Henry, you might check with them if the one they
have available has at least 8 network ports (since all 8 were being
used in the old one).
There was power at the tower and as best as I can tell things are
working there. Max/Dave N, I think the picarro has a different issue
(and one that started before this network outage). The big pump was
running, but I could not get anything to come up on the PC monitor or
reboot it...so there appears to be some problem with the computer.
Apparently last week Mon-Thursday was quite wet/rainy/stormy....

Hi All,

Dave N/Max, please let me know if the picarro is truly having
problems. If so, I will unplug power to your shed later this week
(unless there is a reason to keep the big pump and everything else
plugged in?)....

* drove up CU suburban (to move gas cylinders)
* Como creek is flowing quite strongly, but appears to have already reached
max flow rate. The Aspens and willows are leafing out.
* found a set of slightly keys just outside the fence around the tower
(they belong to Ed Swiatek). Tried to cleanup some of the detruis around
the tower (old zip ties, etc).
* Gave Jacques and ? (new student) a ride from MRS to C1.
* Duane was pumping air.

* Span cylinder at 1110 psi. N2 at 1600 psi.
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 0 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 0 cm
farthest probe = 0 cm
* moved 4 new N2 cylinders from MRS to C1 (it seemed like maybe AIRGAS
delivered the cylinders directly to MRS?):

* from 11:40-11:59 MST, added 2-micron filter back to the LI-6262 box
* from 12:20-12:30 MST, rebooted LI-7200 + swapped LI-7550 power supply w/ LI-7500A
(this was an attempt to figure out why the LI-7200 keeps on losing contact with
the network and stops saving data files on the usb drive).
* turned on the fan in the picarro shed (for Max B.)
* turned on the fan in the LI-6251 box
* from 12:55-13:05 MST, Changed profiler (li-6251) dessicant (now using the
backup dessicant which is in the 6251 box).
* attempted to reboot LI-7500A, OP1, but it was having some issues. So left it with
power disconnected (seems to be having some power-related problems?).
* downloaded photos from cloudCAMwest and snowCAM:

833: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 29-Feb-2016 12:00:11 MST, site visit on Monday, June 8th, 2015 (SpB)
Monday, June 8th, 2015 Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: check LI-6262, download logger data.
Weather: sunny and warm. Some clouds. There is still quite a bit of
snow in the forest (more than I expected). The trail to the tower is
mostly snow-covered, but everything around C1 (and road to C1) is
snow-free.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU malibu (tried to get Jeep, but failed).
* Como creek is flowing quite strongly. The Aspens and willows at C1
are just starting to leaf out.
* some strange scat in the snow on the way to mini-tower. Also, it
appears that short-tailed weasles have taken over the TGA shed. They
were running around excitedly and kept looking at me when I was
pulling stuff out of the shed. Tried to get a photo, but they were
too quick.
* a family of weasels appears to have taken over the TGA shed (they
were quite curious about what I was doing).
---------
* Span cylinder at 1150 psi. N2 at 1750 psi.
* looked in snowshed on way up..three cylinders for pickup there:
cc328553 n2, cc198600 n2, cc436183 co2 (none of these appear to be
mine). There is also a full shipment of cylinders from Dave B.
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 20 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 40 cm
farthest probe = 38 cm
* placed 4 cylinders for pickup in front of the trailer:
cc197414 N2 trlr/front moved back to trailer on 5/22/15, stopped on 5/22/15 at 20psi, started on 2/20/15 at 1850 psi, moved to tower 7/9/14, moved to trailer on 6/24/14 (barcode, apv109)
cc329280 N2 trlr/front moved to trailer on 12/11/14, retired on 8/22/14 at 100 psi, started on 6/2/14 at 1900 psi, moved to tower on 5/16/14, moved to trailer 6/27/13

cc153241 zeroair trlr/front moved back to trailer on 11/21/14, retired on 10/24/14 at 190psi, started on 8/22/14 at 1300 psi
* ptpd seems to be disabled on russter2 (still very slow to boot!).
* at 13:30 MST, fixed LI-6262 flow constriction problem:
- it appears that the Nupro filter INSIDE the LI-6262 box was
clogged and causing the flow issues with the LI-6262 air sample.
Did not have a spare filter (they were in Cristol on
campus!)....so replaced the filter with a union and am now running
the LI-6262 with only one Nupro filter (the one at the inlet).
I'll add the 2nd filter back in on my next site visit.
* at 12:15 MST, re-leveled subcanopy cnr2 (it was at a pretty sharp
angle!), didn't measure the angle, but tried to take a few photos.
* from 14:07-14:10, swiped krypton hygrometer
* turned on the fan in the LI-6262 box
* downloaded photos from cloudCAMeast:
-rw-r--r-- 1 sburns aster 1927219200 Jun 9 16:29 photos_cloudcam_east_150608.tar
* the DSM box was in the sun and seemed quite warm...I added section
of plywood to platform to try and shade the DSM box a bit (might not
want to leave this over the winter?)...
* rebooted the LI-7200. here is what the files look like:
-rwxrw-rw- 1 root root 4825089 Jun 5 18:00 2015-06-05T170000_AIU-1250.ghg

* I'm not sure why this keeps on happening...I've swapped usb drives
so that does not seem to be the issue. I would next suspect the power
supply. And I could swap power supplies with the LI-7500A.

831: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 29-Feb-2016 11:53:23 MST, site visit on Friday, May 1st, 2015 (SpB)
Friday, May 1st, 2015 Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: check on NCTC logger, download logger data.
Weather: Sunny, clear in morning. Clouds on the plains. Then clouded
up and some thunder lightning. Some snow/rain.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
* still some snow from the big storm last week, but it's very
warm and melting fast.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1310 psi. N2 at 500 psi.
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 69 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 86 cm
farthest probe = 89 cm
* updated NCTC logger program (nctc_05.csi):
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 2939 May 1 13:52 nctc_05.csi*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 1477 May 1 13:52 nctc_05.dld*
* because of the small opening/hole in the NCTC logger box, it was
necessary to have a serial connector between the NCTC logger and the
DSM. In the fall 2014 (when I set this up) I put the connector
inside a plastic bag and underneath the enclosure with the big
battery. Somehow, this bag filled with water/snow and the connector
was sitting in the water (this explains why there were dropouts for
the NCTC data in the dsm!). I removed the bag, let the db9
components dry-out and then re-did the connection (now stuffing the
connector underneath the enclosure, without the plastic bag).
* coiled up the last working Tir sensor and put it inside the NCTC
enclosure (need to figure out a plan for these sensors).
* after making these changes, I returned to the trailer and didn't
see any data from the NCTC logger!
* at first, it was not working...I hiked back to tower and tried
several things (e.g., went back to old program, etc), but a storm was
coming so needed to hurry....left it setup, but not working....checked
it again in the evening of 5/1/15 and it was working!:
* updated OPS to ops76? I was originally leaving the Tir data output
as repeats...but in testing, decided to remove those variables.

not...perhaps there was still water in the cable/connector?

830: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 29-Feb-2016 11:51:03 MST, site visit on Wednesday, April 15th, 2015 (SpB)
Wednesday, April 15th, 2015 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, reset the LI-7200
Weather: Some sun, but mostly clouds. There was a quick snow squall
while on the tower. A storm is supposed to hit tonight and tomorrow.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
* the snowpack is very low...road to C1 is snow-free (and dry)...como
creek has a "gurgle" to it...snow was extremely firm/hard and could
walk almost anywhere.
* met the new MRS manager: Matt (Matthew.Malick@colorado.edu)
---------
* Span cylinder at 1400 psi. N2 at 800 psi.
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 51 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 63 cm
farthest probe = 69 cm
* reset the LI-7200 by pushing the "reset" button..it has been
running, but I have been unable to log into it...maybe the usb thumb
drive locked up?? It seemed to recover, but we lost a few weeks of
data, ie:

829: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 29-Feb-2016 11:47:35 MST, site visit on Saturday, March 28th, 2015 (SpB)
Saturday, March 28th, 2015 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data
Weather: Warm, Breezy
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
* the snowpack has taken a real hit...not much snow and warm weather
recently...still some snow on the road below trailer, but water
starting to flow. walking over snowpack was great--no need for
snowshoes and still fairly firm.
* Ed left some thermocouple holders in the shed (got them).
---------
* Span cylinder at 1600 psi. N2 at 1200 psi.
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 66 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 80 cm
farthest probe = 89 cm
* at around 12:40 MST, moved REBS #4 down to 2m. NOTE: aspiration
fans are still not connected!
* also, most moved REBs AM25T from the plastic box to a campbell
enclosure (needed to redo all the wiring, but worth it in the long
run). Campbell enclosure was "borrowed" from lab (carried up to site
on last visit).
* from around 13:00-14:00 MST, re-did wiring...details:
* swapped SD cards from cloudCAM / snowtempCAM

828: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 29-Feb-2016 11:44:25 MST, site visit on Saturday, March 7th, 2015 (SpB)
Saturday, March 7th, 2015 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data
Weather: Warm, powerful sun, calm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Prius
* could not quite make it up the final stretch of road to MRS..parked
at sourdough trailhead and walked from there...
* brought the campbell enclosure (from cristol) to use with REBS TRH
sensors (Peter said it was ok to take an older one)...note, this was
left in the laser shed...
* lots of new snow since last visit--some melting in upper layers, but
cold below.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1690 psi. N2 at 1510 psi.
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 80 cm (at top mark, but covered with snow so couldn't read it!)
TP101 461 middle probe = 100 cm
farthest probe = 109 cm
* from 14:24-14:47 MST, Changed profiler (li-6251) dessicant
* measured CSAT booms, here are details (all measurements are in cm):

* Critical measurement: from mid-strut to mid-strut the east side of the tower is 129.3 cm
(for some reason I had this as 127.5 cm last time??)
* swapped SD cards from cloudCAM / snowtempCAM

Saturday, February 7th, 2015 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Swap gas cylinders, download logger data, finish
setup of REBS T/RH probes, resetup picarro.
Weather: Quite windy and very warm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Prius
* took several videos of the wind and the trees.
* moved the old dell inspiron (quacker backup) laptop from the trailer
back to campus (do I know the password?).
---------
* Span cylinder at 250 psi. N2 at 600 psi.
* moved cc319297 to the tower and put along the fence
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 56 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 68 cm
farthest probe = 70 cm
* re-setup the picarro back in the picarro shed (Dave Bowling had
disconnected it and moved it to his shed in January). There were
instructions from Max and David Noone about how to do this. It seems
like things have been re-configured (re-plumbed) since Max has been
there...it all seemed to come back up ok.
* russter2 was up and running (rebooted itself!)...I guess I need to
unplug it when I leave...
* killed ptp on russter2, ie:
bash-3.2# ntpq -pn

Hi Gordon,
looks like it worked!...the times on the instruments are now close to

or to -857926051
I still don't see anything showing up in the logs on the titan...ie:

but as long as it's working ok, then this is not critical....
I did see:
Jan 13 03:23:33 titan2 ptpd: Port state changed to init
Jan 13 03:23:33 titan2 ptpd: Port state changed to lstn
Jan 13 03:23:53 titan2 ptpd: Port state changed to mst
in /var/log/isfs/messages on the titan (as you also saw).
thanks for your help!

*after trying to use ptpd2, we found out this was not compatible with
the LI-7550 (see email to LI-COR, Kevin and Mike)....so Gordon setup
ptpV1...installed it on isffa and here is what logs show:

did:
root@titan2 tmp# /etc/init.d/ptpd2 stop
Stopping PTP server: ptpd2.
then,
root@titan2 tmp# /etc/init.d/ptpd start
Starting PTP V1 server: ptpd done.

[can't access log for LI-7200 since I don't have root access, but time is good!]

824: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 29-Feb-2016 11:28:13 MST, site visit on Friday, January 2nd, 2015 (SpB, DB)
Friday, January 2nd, 2015 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB, DB
Purpose of visit: download logger data.
Weather: Warm and clear. Extremely cold earlier
in the week, but this is not bad. Low winds.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Prius.
* Dave Bowling was working on the TGA.
---------
* Span cylinder at 500 psi. N2 at 1200 psi.
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 44 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 55 cm
farthest probe = 55 cm
* the LI-7500A OP1 power light was blinking on/off...it seems like the
battery is losing power? I noticed the power connection inside the
LI-7550 box was loose...in the late afternoon, I disconnected it
from power using the connector inside the LI-7550 box (hopefully,
the battery can fully recover).
* from 14:55-15:00 MST, adjusted flow in LI-6262 span/n2 gases.
* moved the wingscape "eastcam" (which never seemed to work very
well!) so that it is now downward-looking at the CSATs and trees.
* downloaded photos from wingscape cameras:

823: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 29-Feb-2016 11:23:35 MST, site visit on Thursday, December 11th, 2014 (SpB)
Thursday, December 11th, 2014 Visit:
------------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: setup the REBS T/RH sensors, download
logger data.
Weather: Quite warm and very sunny. There has not been any
snow in the past week.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* Moose tracks on the trail. Also looked like the moose were foraging
in the creekbed (for willows?) by Como Creek.
* Ed Swiatek showed up with some long tubing (ran from top of tower to
base).
* Dean Anderson passed by on his way to check USGS.
* should be my final visit of 2014!
---------
* Span cylinder at 690 psi. N2 at 1700 psi.
* moved cc329280 (N2) from tower to C1 (inside trailer)
* snow depths (didn't measure, but they were low):
closest to tree = xx cm
TP101 461 middle probe = xx cm
farthest probe = xx cm
* adjusted regulator delivery pressure for N2 (lowered from around 22
psi to 17 psi)
* at around 11:30 MST, re-set LI-7500A OP1 (seems to lose the network
connection and usb archiving?)
* started running met_10.csi (needed to update connections to input
channels, see channels list at start of met_10.csi):
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 15601 Dec 11 15:29 met_10.csi*

REBS1 = sensor THP98002
REBS2 = sensor THP98004
* REBS T/RH wiring:
purple = ground
orange = +12V
diff H = yellow RH.mV.REBS
L = green
diff H = wht T.air.REBS
L = black
diff H = gry T.cavity.REBS
L = blue
in AM416 these are connected as:
sensor THP98002
---------------
(block 1):
H1 = yellow RH
L1 = green
H2 = white T.air
L2 = black
(block 2):
H1 = unused
L1 = unused
H2 = grey T.cav
L2 = blue
this is repeated in block 3/4 for sensor 2 (THP98004).
note: the T.air and T.cav sensors use the same voltage range so
they are compatible with eachother.
- for wiring from am416 to met logger used:
signals:
white = H1 diff (am416 com block) --> diff ch4 H
red = L1 diff (am416 com block) --> diff ch4 L
green = H2 diff (am416 com block) --> diff ch5 H
black = L2 diff (am416 com block) --> diff ch5 L
power and controls: for power I cut the old 2m HMP sensor cable and
used that. (I also noticed there is a spare power cable, with green
plug, going into the met logger box!)
red = +12V
black = ground
white = RES (am416) ---> C5 (on cr23x)
black = CLK (am416) ---> C6 (on cr23x)
[still need to get power for the aspiration fans!]

Subject: upping the samping of CSATs..
Hi Gordon,
Doing "ddn" and "dup" fixed the network issues due to changing the IP
of urquell yesterday. thanks!
I was hoping to try and increase the sampling rate of the CSATs on the
tower...I think you mentioned that the main thing I need to modify is
the "rate" variable in:
/usr/local/isff/projects/NIWOT/ISFF/config/sonics.xml
on the viper/forestcam dsm...
ie:
So, I can just change from rate="20" to rate="30", then do "ddn/dup"?
Since the 30-Hz data are not oversampled (as far as I can tell from
the CSAT manual) do I also need to change,
to false? Is there anything else that I need to change?
Also, tomorrow I plan to add the CSAT from Campbell to the viper
DSM...it will be running in a different mode than the other CSATs (ie,
controlled by the DSM)...so, should I just add another line to the xml
file like:
I also recall that you mentioned there was a way to make sure it
doesn't try to send any configs to the CSAT....can you remind me what
that option was again and where/how would I add that info to the xml
file? I guess it will be fine if the tower CSATs are all outputting
data at 30-Hz and the Campbell one is outputting data at 20-Hz...
Here is the xml currently being used by the viper/forestcam:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/sonics_141027.xml
Also, I just rebooted the dreamplug on campus...after the reboot, when
I tried to do dup I get the following error:
root@dreamplug-debian ~# dup
dsm: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libnidas_dynld.so.1: undefined symbol: SampleOutputStreamC1EPNS_4core9IOChannelEPNS2_25SampleConnectionRequesterE

ck_xml: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libnidas_dynld.so.1: undefined symbol: SampleOutputStreamC1EPNS_4core9IOChannelEPNS2_25SampleConnectionRequesterE
this is not that critical, but thought it might be meaningful to
you....

822: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 29-Feb-2016 11:14:04 MST, site visit on Thursday, December 4th, 2014 (SpB, MG)
Thursday, December 4th, 2014 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, MG
Purpose of visit: swap Zero Air Cylinder, check on power issues in
TGA shed, setup HMP sensors (never got to it).
Weather: Very calm with a threat of snow all day (that never happened).
Low clouds. Quite warm for Dec!
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Prius.
* Duane took the snowcat to C1.
* met Maria Garcia from Utah (DB lab) who was updating a card in the TGA.
It seems that power in TGA shed might be ok?...
---------
* Span cylinder at 700 psi. ZeroAir at 120 psi.
* at around 14:00 MST, swapped ZeroAir cyliner with new N2 cylinder;
old=cc140756 (Zero Air), new= cc316422 (N2)
* moved the zero air regulator back to trailer at C1 (it worked well).
* moved cc355203 (span) from C1 to tower (along fence)
* moved cc140756 (zero air) from tower to C1 (inside trailer)
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 18 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 27 cm
farthest probe = 27 cm
* brought a heated inlet for the LI-7200 out to the tower, but never
had time to swap it with current (unheated) inlet. [left it in the
TGA shed].
* tightened/checked some of the U-bolts for the CSATs. The all seem to
be holding up well (we have had some quite strong winds).
* checked voltage at lower outlets...it was at around 117 VAC.
note: 4 circuits at tower,
1. GFI outlet (picarro pump)
2. lowest set of outlets
3. outlets on 2nd level.
4. all outlets above that....
* Maria accidentally disconnected the Picarro pump for a short time
* Maria updated the card in the TGA and this seemed like it might have
fixed some issues they have been having with that system?...
* at 11:52 MST, re-set LI-7500A OP1 (seems to lose the network
connection and usb archiving?)...I am suspicious about the charger
connected to this battery. When I disconnected it, the battery
voltage went to near zero! Attached a new charger and it seemed to
come back to 12V (and OP1 was working ok)....not sure if battery is
damaged or not (it's a new battery).
* swapped usb thumb drive on isffa (bigger drive)

* between 12-13 MST, swapped gelman filters on upper two prof
inlets...the CO2 profile from the summer was very strange looking
and possibly filters have been dirty??
* at around 15:00 MST, replaced battery charger for LI-7500A OP1 (as
described above), also added new battery + charger (these are the
ones that John Knowles brought out to the TGA shed) for UC logger.
I want to make sure UC logger works all winter (if UC logger stops
working not so critical)....
note, it is still resetting from time-to-time!?!

and I noticed that the network cable labeled "From Tower" was diconnected.
After plugging this back in, it all worked.

to replace them)...
* downloaded some wingscape photos (both cameras stopped working in

Subject: Re: Questions about LI-7550...
Mike,
thanks very much for clarifications...i can try to install ptpd on
another system at the site and see if it can act as a ptp server to
replace the one which is going away...this week, I'll look into
this...if you have more thoughts (or find out more) about using ntp on
the LI-7550 please let me know...
on Friday, I had CU networking increase the firewall protection to the
LI-7550 instruments (this cuts down on the break-in attempts and you
might recall that I believe someone hacked into our LI-7550 last Feb
and crashed the system)...these "break-in" attempts fill the logs and
look like:

after increasing the firewall security, all of those sshd messages
went away, but a new message started showing up which is:

I also see some messages like:

I tried to google info about the "mDNSPlatformSendUDP got error
101"....but couldn't find anything that useful...it seems like
mDNSResponder is related to something by apple/itunes that runs in
windows/bonjour?? ie:
http://www.groovypost.com/howto/groovytip/what-is-mdnsresponder-exe-and-why-is-it-running/
any ideas why these messages are showing up? The time on the LI-7550
seems to be fine when checked versus the NIST clock (so I think the
ptpd is still keeping the time accurate)...
thanks!

Subject: Re: Questions about LI-7550...
Sean,
The processor in the 7550 is an OMAP with an ARM core. It is not an x86
processor like you have in your computer. When you cross-compile, you
compile code on one architecture like the x86 and target another
architecture. The tool chain is everything you need to compile everything.
I would be hesitant to run NTP since we are already running PTP. We have
the control loop with gas sampling and the clock working and tested. I
can do a little research to see it does not cause any problems.

821: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 08-Feb-2016 14:59:30 MST, site visit on Friday, November 21st, 2014 (SpB)
Friday, November 21st, 2014 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, connect CSI csat 0328 to
viper DSM.
Weather: Winter finally arrived. Ground is snow covered (maybe 4-5"?), but
it was relatively warm (near freezing) and only gusty at times (calm in
the afternoon).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
* Duane (and Bear) gave me a ride from MRS to the 2nd gate. (walked
from there).
---------
* Span cylinder at 750 psi. ZeroAir at 460 psi.
* moved cc153282 (N2) from C1 to tower (along fence)
* moved cc153241 (zero air) from tower to C1 (inside trailer)
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 14 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 18 cm
farthest probe = 19 cm
* brought down a 16Gb thumb drive for partitioning (to use with
isffa/titan).
* the two fire extinguishers at the site are:
- in trailer at C1: Kiddie dry chemical extinguisher (date was from 1998)
- at tower in TGA shed: "First Alert", model FE3A40GR
* grounded the CR23x logger that is collecting tree accel data.
* started ops73, added campbell sci CSAT3 sn0328 to the viper/forestcam
DSM (/dev/ttyS11). Ed, setup the RS232 output from the CSAT3.

* the new data system has been running well...
* re-measured the distances between CSAT levels...it's: 183.5 cm
(need to get lowest CSAT to ground, then everything else should
come from that)...
* rebooted LI-7500a OP1 (at mini-tower)...this fixed the network issue
and it then started re-archiving the data on the usb drive.
[followup: as of Monday morning 11/24, the connection was down
again?? Perhaps this is a power issue? Should replace the battery
charger].
* the camera pointed to the east still did not seem to be
working!...downloaded other photos and these are in
/data3/photos_webcam_mark/ as:

* moved the camera from como creek over to the snowtemp probes...the
straps holding it there probably need to be cleaned up.
* the battery in the MRS logger pcmcia card for the MCR1 card reader
was dead! (should replace both batteries in both cards). Note,
battery in the card with "*works 12/2012" written on it was replaced
on 12/1/2014 on campus and worked with PC there).
* downloaded logger data (note: now putting logger data in
/data3/backup_russter2/data_logger/):

Thursday, November 6th, 2014 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, ES, MR, JK, +
Purpose of visit: change met logger output
Weather: There was a little bit of snow on the ground. It was
warm and sunny with some wind gusts.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
* Dean was finishing up the Methane system, John K was moving some
liquid N2, Mark was adding new accelerometers, Ed S. was working on
the CSATs (busy day up there).
---------
* Span cylinder at 900 psi. ZeroAir at 700 psi.
* tried to mount the WD usb disk (for russter2 backup) and it failed
to mount..after a reboot, it could mount. (copying files is SLOW!)
* fixed up the tape and straightened the snow temp probes.
* downloaded logger data:

- removed RH1.3m from the MET logger (it's been broken for a long
time)...added output from the REBS T/RH sensors, but didn't have
time to hook them up (note, I needed to modify which control ports
the program uses..initially it was interferring with the cal of
the EC system!):

* tested the snowtherm sensors on the NCTC logger and they did not
seem to work...then, I had some trouble when I moved the sensor that
DID work (Tir.1)...so, I've now switched the power for NCTC logger
from the small power supply to the big battery in the campbell box
on the platform (I'm also monitoring the battery voltage,
"Vbatt_isffa".
* updated the root password for LI-7500A OP1/OP2 to the old quacker
root password...need to check the firewall for these IPs...

Friday, October 24th, 2014 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: finish setup up new data system..
Weather: warm and sunny, calm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
*
*
---------
* Span cylinder at 1000 psi. ZeroAir at 190 --> 950 psi.
* at 12:40 MST, swapped ZeroAir cylinder; old= cc153241 (zero air),
new= cc140756 (zero air)
* swapped the network switches in the quacker box (so now the CU
network has the netgear 5-port switch, and the local network is the
older switch (with a broken port) has the other switch.
* added 5-port netgear switch to power box mid-tower (this is where
Ed can connect his new stuff).
* at approx 1500 MST, started data collection with 2nd LI-7500A (OP2)
at 21.5m (on EOL CSAT3 boom)
- swapped out the Campbell box from Stefan (currently in the TGA
shed) and added a bigger box that could house a deep-cycle
battery. This battery is powering the LI-7500A, op2.
- setup the LI-7550 box on the level below the 21.5m level.
- attached the LI07500A with a nu-rail fitting (1" and 3/4") to a
pipe that is right along the EOL CSAT boom (might want to arrange
this better at some point).

up to the platform/titan...the old NCTC cable is stuck INSIDE the NCTC
logger box (the cable won't fit through the hole!)...so I have this
connection made at the hole in the nctc logger box (one screw is
securing it).

logger to the quacker box, spliced a new section of cable to go from
the quacker box to the platform/dsm. The light was flashing on the

problems in niwot.xml:

Thursday, October 16th, 2014 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: followup on the IP address change on the cr5000 and
tga, start moving to new data system/titan.
Weather: warm and sunny in morning, breezy in afternoon.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up spb jeep.
* Duane found a lexar usb drive on the ground near the trailer...this
turned out to be from USGS/Dean. left the thumb drive on the cr23x in
the trailer.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1100 psi. ZeroAir at 400 psi.
* in AM, replaced LI-7500A OP1 sensor cable from field update kit
* moved the GPS from serial port 7 to serial port 3. Here is
the advice from Gordon:

To: Sean Burns
From: Gordon Maclean
Subject: Re: setup on isffa...
You change /etc/gps.conf, then stop/start ntpd, but you don't change the
XML. The dsm process reads from the pseudo-terminal provided by tee_tty
which is started by /etc/init.d/ntpd.
minicom isn't usually needed, and you won't have much luck using minicom on
the port that tee_tty is also using.
I typically put a timeout on the CSAT3 sonics. Then if you swap sonics, the
dsm process will get a timeout on that port, and re-query the parameters
such as serial number from a sonic when it is pugged in.

Wednesday, October 15th, 2014 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JK, PB, DA, +
Purpose of visit: met john k. to change the IP addresses
on the cr5000 and tga, start moving to new data system/titan.
Weather: warm and sunny in morning, breezy in afternoon.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up spb jeep.
* Peter B was busy helping Dean (and other USGS volunteer) setup a
methane sensor. They pulled out all the old glass volumes (these are
now in the trailer at C1).
* met John at the trailer in morning.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1100 psi. ZeroAir at 400 psi.
* cal cylinder on loan from D. Bowling (cc185237); put at tower base
* brought up two spanking new deep-cycle batteries (hopefully to fix
the power issues with the LI-7500A (OP1)). John hauled these to the
tower in ATV (atv had a near-flat at end of day!)...
* in AM, installed new battery to power the LI-7500A (OP1). When I
put in the new battery, I also swapped the charger (to the other new
one from Yusua).
* hauled most of the batteries in the trailer back to Boulder for load
testing at battery shop....about 5 failed and I brought two back that
were deemed to be "ok". Need to keep batteries on a battery
"maintainer" or else they will not last long!!
* downloaded some wingscape photos:

* we moved the cable going to the 8-port switch in the TGA shed from
the local (ie, 10.0.0.x) network to the CU network...then we moved the
network cable that was going to picarro to this same switch. Now the
entire shed is on the CU network (and there are two extra network
cables going to the shed that are not connected...but could be used if
needed).
* John and I were able to change the IP info for the cr5000...the info
was actually in the NL100....connect to this with the CSI device
configuration utility (follow instructions there). This worked.
Note, the dev config utility can be found via loggernet (I have an older
version, that worked)....
* we ran into trouble when trying to change the TGA IP address..in the
process it lost the mac address of the TGA. Therefore, it didn't work
on the network (I could ping it from russter2, but not
campus/urquell). There were many email exchanges with Maria in Utah
and we could not figure it out....we also used the toughbook laptop
from MRS (with a newer version). To make a long story short, the TGA
manual had an error (see note from 10/16). When we left, we added a
serial cable to the far end of the TGA so we could access it without
taking off the cover.

Purpose of visit: move titan to the tower, setup REBS T/RH
sensors, check on OP-1.
Weather: sunny, breezy, some remants of snow from 2 days ago.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up spb jeep.
* Theo and Keith (Noah grad students) were working on the snow depth
sensors...
* Ed and Erin (and a pack of dogs) showed up to replace the EC155
body...it was apparently giving back a flag that the thermoelectric
cooler? was bad...but didn't seem to be bad?
---------
* Span cylinder at 1100 psi. ZeroAir at 400 psi.
* need to test the old batteries in the trailer!
* the battery for the LI-7500A/OP1 seemed to be bad...when I checked
it, the battery charger had both lights flashing on/off (indicates a
problematic battery). Replaced it with a different old battery (not
sure if this one is any better?!)...but files are being saved, ie:

* replaced the 5-port netgear switch (model fs 109) at the 10-m power
box with a 8-port netgear "prosafe" switch (model GS108E) that was in
the trailer (John Knowles borrowed and/or replaced this at some
point?)...one question: the 5-port switch has a grounding connector in
the back, but the 8-port switch does not...does this matter?
* downloaded logger data:

813: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 08-Feb-2016 14:10:31 MST, site visit on Tuesday, October 7th, 2014 (SpB)
Tuesday, October 7th, 2014 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: swap the LI-7200, setup LI-7500A (OP2)
and REBS T/RH sensors.
Weather: Warm, calm and sunny.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU jeep...before going up, went to campus and got CSI
enclosure, REBs T/RH, dessicant, things bought at McGuckins; then went
to NCAR and picked up other supplies (split loom, cameras, network
cables, thermocouple wire).
* John Knowles was there (brought down ln2 dewar to snowshed for him).
---------
* Span cylinder at 1200 psi. ZeroAir at 500 psi.
* moved two older cylinders from the trailer down to the snowshed:
cc264923 N2 trlr/inside (used for cals on 100924). moved to trlr, 7/1/10, retired on 6/15/10 (250 psi), started on 3/30/10 at 2100 psi. brought from campus on 9/16/09, moved to tower on 3/30/10.
cc21257 span trlr/inside 1040 ppm (airgas, from HYDRA experiments), pressure = 1000 psi?
* replaced the LI-COR-borrowed LI-7200/LI-7550 (AIU-1110, sn 72H-0479)
with those from AmeriFlux (AIU-1250, sn 72H-0539)
* hauled two of the REBS T/RH sensors and AM416 to the tower (currently in shed)
* downloaded data from the cameras:
-rw-r--r-- 1 sburns aster 2376693760 Oct 8 00:04 photos_cloudcam_northeast_141007.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 sburns aster 962990080 Oct 7 23:54 photos_cloudcam_west_141007.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 sburns aster 844001280 Oct 7 23:43 photos_tower_base_141007.tar
* note: the quality of the photos wit the new cameras doesn't seem
quite as good as with old cameras? check that focus is correct?
* adjusted the position of cloudcamWEST (pointed up more)
* tried to leave all the settings EXACTLY as they were on the old
setup (for now, still saving the CSAT data).
transition from old LI-7200 to new LI-7200:

* note: the LI-7550 senses which sensor (either LI-7200 or LI-7500) is
attached and then adjusts software accordingly.
* there was a lot of moisture/condensation in the LI-COR flow module
box...I'm guessing this is because the box is airtight and I last
opened it when the humidity was higher...now, the temp drop and all
that moisture condensed. ADD dessicant bag to the flow module box!!
* note: there appear to be spikes in the LI-7200 analog co2
signal...make sure the spikes are not in the usb 20-Hz data
[followup: usb data seem ok, no spikes]...
* downloaded logger data (still need files):

* started to modify met logger file for the REBS T/RH sensors, ie:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 14581 Oct 7 10:30 met_09.csi*
;
; met_09.csi (from met_07.csi), added REB T/RH sensors with AM416 mux.
; connected to diff ch4.
; 10/7/14
; spb.

812: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 08-Feb-2016 14:03:41 MST, site visit on Friday, September 26th, 2014 (SpB)
Friday, September 26th, 2014 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: finished LI-7500A (OP1) installation,
put up wingscapes cameras.
Weather: Warm, calm and sunny.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU prius
* added more split-loom to the section of fiber cable near como creek
(there is a bit more to finish).
---------
* Span cylinder at 1290 psi. ZeroAir at 700 psi.
* using a new battery which is in an action-packer between the UC/UCB
loggers and the other "battery" action-packer. I have a 900 mA
charger connected to this battery...a slightly more powerful charger
would be better!
* some things to-order/buy:
On-line:
--------
- greater than 1.5 A charger x, purchased via amazon on 9/30/14
- 3/4"x3/4" nu-rail crosses...plus something to go from horiz boom to vertical boom
- 1" split loom
Purchases via amazon on 9/30/14 (total of $305):
-----
2 Yuasa YUA1201501 Smart Shot Battery Charger (1.5 Amps)
Wire Loom Tool for 3/4" - 1"
American Terminal SL1000-100 1-Inch Split Loom Tubing
2 JEFA Tech Outdoor Shielded Cat5e Assembly - 25 Feet - TOUGHCable Connectors
2 50ft Cat5e Outdoor Waterproof Ethernet Cable Direct Burial w/Shielded Connectors 50 ft (PURE COPPER)
Purchases via nu-rail:
----------
3 of the 3/4"x3/4" nu-rail offset crosses (I borrowed one from the lab and it's at the site).
JB Saunders:
------------
- some AC-DC adapters for the REBs T/RH fans: 12VDC, 0.3 A (1.6 W)
McGucks:
------------
- one more action-packer (+ several bungee straps)
- short(er) extension cords
- aluminum foil?
- some kind of cube/ball for plugging stuff in at upper electrical box
- adj wrench (at least 1") for LAB!
* setup the wingscape cloudcams NORTHEAST and WEST...
* was able to connect to LI-7500A via the serial cable (this only
worked once, for a short period?)...at that time, I changed the
settings so the IP is the one used by russter2pfp....I should check
why I couldn't connect again via serial cable? (perhaps the serial
port on the latitude podocarp laptop?)
* it should be using ptp for the time-keeping...how to check this??
-- also, want to set the root password on OP1...
* started ops70 and now running uc_06.csi on UC logger (to ingest the
LI-7500A data).

* sample rate at 20-hz, filter at 10-Hz. An analog co2 and h2o signal
is being ingested by the UC logger into the quacker data system.
* settings for DAC:
* at 14:30 MST, changed range of LI-7200 co2 (DAC) from
LI-7500A, DAC1 co2 umol/mol 0 V = 360 ppm --> 5V = 450 ppm
DAC2 h20 mmol/mol 0 V = 0 mmol/mol --> 5V = 30 mmol/mol
* also, I noticed the "delay time" settings for the LI-7200 and LI-7500A
were different..
LI-7200, delay time interval = 12, DAC delay= 252 ms
LI-7500A, delay time interval = 0, DAC delay= 172 ms

811: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 08-Feb-2016 13:57:21 MST, site visit on Friday, September 19th, 2014 (SpB)
Friday, September 19th, 2014 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: fixed LI-7200 inlet filter,
swapped REBs Q*7.1 dome,
Weather: Warm and sunny. Some clouds and some
breezes.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
* Duane was working at C1. The fall aspens were in prime
color!
* added more split-loom to the section of fiber cable near como creek
(there is a bit more to finish).
---------
* Span cylinder at 1300 psi. ZeroAir at 830 psi.
* from 11-11:45 MST, replaced domes on REBS Q*-7.1 Rnet sensor
* cut the LI-7200 inlet tubing from 100cm down to 80cm. As part of
testing found:
- with no inlet connected, flow drive = 15%
- with tubing, but not filter, flow drive= 39%
- with tubing + filter, flow drive= 63%
- then I reconnected the water trap and the flow drive dropped to 53%
(not sure why it went down with the trap attached??)
- left it with the filter and water trap both connected.
* downloaded logger data:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 1125090 Sep 19 13:23 soil9_19.dat*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 183527 Sep 19 14:47 ucb9_19.dat*
* setup LI-7500A (OP1) at the mini-tower...everything is there and now
I just need a battery and charger! Tried to add the new battery and
it did not boot up cleanly...I could not connect via the serial
cable, but I could connect via the internet (not using a fixed IP
address)...and had the following problem:
[see ~/tower_log.txt for details!]
* looked at the am416 mux connected to the soil logger..notes:

-------------------------------------
* to buy at JB saunders?? (can't recall what I need?)
- wires that are long and thick enough...
- need a new action packer?
* email exchange with Dave Bowling to change network setup:
this is the current setup:

Hi Sean,
(copying Maria Garcia here)
Thanks - hopefully this will improve things.
Currently I only have the TDL and CR5000 at these addresses:
[deleted!, see ~/tower_log.txt]
The others are unused (at least by me).
Please coordinate with Maria when you're ready to make the
changes (and cc me)

Subject: Network at NIWOT...
Hi Dave,
I wanted to let you know that we are going to make some changes to the
network at NIWOT sometime in the next few months. Right now your
instruments are on the tower network (10.0.0.x), but it might make
more sense to put everything in the TGA shed directly on the CU
network (198.11.18.x). Which is what the Picarro is using. Also,
when people are at the site it will be easy to connect to the outside
world.
For your instruments, we would like to give them each a fixed IP
address that is accessible from outside of CU. You are currently able
to do this, but I believe this uses some form of IP tunneling to reach
your instruments (and I know your instruments are physically on the
10.0.0.x network).
Right now, I see your instruments are connected as:
810: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 08-Feb-2016 13:52:48 MST, site visit on Wednesday, September 17th, 2014 (SpB)
Wednesday, September 17th, 2014 Visit:
--------------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: new program in isffa, adjust CSAT
positions.
Weather: Warm and sunny.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
* met Oren!
* added more split-loom to the section of fiber cable near como creek
(need to finish this).
---------
* setup LI-7500A (OP1) at the mini-tower...everything is there and now
I just need a battery and charger!
* did some fine-tuning to the CSAT orientations:
level 14 ------ TOP (upward-looking PAR sensor)
level 13 ------ 25.5m, Radiation Sensors port 10, sn 0855
level 12 ------ 23.35m, CSI boxes (for CPEC200) [NA]
level 11 ------ 21.5m CSAT3 (main flux level) [NA]
level 10 ------ 19.65m, LI7550 boxes (on SE side) port 9, sn 0673
level 9 ------ 17.8m, cr23x (FAST) [NA]
level 8 ------ 15.95m, webcams port 8, sn 0540 <--- not in logs?
Level 7 ------ 14.1m, prop-vane port 7, sn 1121
level 6 ------ 12.25m, ATI boom port 6, sn 0673
level 5 ------ 10.40m, cr23x (MET) + rain gauge [NA]
level 4 ------ 8.55m, power box + platform port 5, sn 1119
level 3 ------ 6.70m, LI-6262 box [NA]
level 2 ------ 4.85m, LI-6251 box port 2, sn 1117 <--- not in logs?
level 1 ------ 3.00m, power [NA]
level 0 ------ Ground, slighly elevated due to concrete pad.
* from mid-strut to mid-strut the short side of the tower is 127.5 cm.
* uploaded Nr1_fast_0_0_03.cr3 to CR3000 (now isffa is ingesting
CR3000 data correctly). Email about this:

Hi Ed,
the DSM is correctly reading in the data from the CR3000 with the
lower baud rate...I'm now seeing:

* rebooted isffa...it took a while to come back up, but I could
eventually log in again....noticed that the xml had something using
/dev/ttyS7 (which is what the GPS is using). Commented that entry out
and rebooted...it came up with the GPS working...now data_stats from

Saturday, September 13th, 2014 Visit:
-------------------------------------
At the site: SpB, PT, JB
Purpose of visit: get the wingscape cameras working, swap
serial cable ouput of isffa...
Weather: Warm and sunny.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Jeep Cherokee.
* a short late afternoon visit. Jia visits the tower!
* lots of hunters going up the road (it's hunting season).
---------
* the blower for the LI-7200 was still at 100% (with zero flow).
Tried to bypass the water trap...didn't help. Decided to turn off the
pump (not risk damaging it---need to ask LI-COR if running the blower
at 100% is harmful?). Here is the reply from Jiahong about this:
> Hi Sean:
>
> Thank you for the data. When the flow drive reaches 100%, it is
> definitely harmful to the blower. The motor could be burned because
> it uses more power and generates too much heat. We do not know how
> long the motor could last under 100% motor drive before being burned
> out.

* swapped batteries on the cloud cam--now running every 5 minutes.
* downloaded photos from the tower base cam:
-rw-r--r-- 1 sean mmm 421478400 Sep 15 09:11 photos_tower_base_140913.tar
* swapped /dev/ttyS8 (cr3000) with

* Span cylinder at ? psi. ZeroAir at ? psi.
* stopped at snowmobile shed and moved two co2/air cylinders to
the trailer:
cc153444 span trlr/inside moved to trailer on 9/10/14 (barcode, app149) airgas= 400.9 ppm
cc355203 span trlr/inside moved to trailer on 9/10/14 (barcode, bcz154) airgas= 404.9 ppm
* John helped with hauling the last 5 booms up the tower
* Before we did anything, swapped the boom at the very top
level...this boom now has the cradle just before the extention so we
could shorten the boom and put the CSAT on this other cradle. The
booms with the "mid-way" cradle are around 4.5m long.
* Was able to get 3 more CSATs installed and connected to the
viper DSM.
* from around 16:00-15:00 MST, swapped out the nupro filter for the
LI-6262 inlet.
* downloaded logger data:

----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Bring up five CSATs from NCAR, swap inlet filter (never happened)
Weather: Cloudy and threatened rain (which never quite happened).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Jeep Cherokee (rental for week). Stopped by NCAR FL and
grabbed the last five CSATs on loan from EOL.
* almost zero mushrooms this year
* brought up new tools/hardware from McMaster-Carr (finally a good
nutdriver set!)
---------
* Span cylinder at 1350 psi. ZeroAir at 1000 psi.

Hi All,
I plan to take the remaining CSATs up to the site tomorrow
(Monday)...I'll be by EOL sometime between 9-9:30am to get
them...Kurt, I'll see if I can find you at around that time...
I won't put them on the tower until Wed so if they don't all fit in
the vehicle, I'll take the rest with me on Wed....

--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Finish the install CSATs/DSM.
Weather: Cloudy from the get-go. Some breaks as the various
storm systems passed by. Very mixed conditions.
--------- Misc Notes:

to the new MRS building).
* a huge scat on the road just below C1 (looked to be mt lion and
was still quite smelly)....
---------
* Span cylinder at ? psi. N2/ZeroAir at ? psi (both seem to be ok)
* finished setting up the DSM (mounted to the tower with uni-strut)

804: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 26-Aug-2015 10:54:04 MDT, site visit on Friday, August 29th, 2014 (SpB, PB, P)
Friday, August 29th, 2014 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB, PB, P
Purpose of visit: Install CSATs on loan from NCAR.
Weather: Sunny in the morning. Rain/T-storm in the late afternoon.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU suburban. Met Peter at NCAR and we loaded the booms,
DSM, and CSATs.
* Peter (from ft collins) was collecting and he helped carry a load
of stuff to the tower.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1400? psi. N2/ZeroAir at 1200? psi
* NCAR had two CSATs (sn?) that had gone through the calibration
chamber and we took with us.
* assembled the booms at C1 then hand-carried them to tower (3 or 4 at a
time). They are approx 4m in length and come in two sections.
* hand-carried the DSM to the tower (now "forestcam").
* setup a pulley and rope system to haul the booms up the tower (we
used a 100' section of rope spliced with a 50'? section (this is the
green rope that lynette, et al used for the PAR project).
* hauling booms with rope/pulley worked well--peter was on the ground
and I was up on the tower.
* had lunch back at C1.
* Forgot the bolts for mounting the DSM to the uni-strut at C1 so Peter
went back to get these---in the meantime, the weather changed dramtically
and as we were trying to setup the DSM, a t-storm moved in. We brought
everything back to the C1 and stopped for the day. We only had two booms
installed on the tower.
* stuff borrowed from NCAR (in addtion to booms, CSATs, and DSM):
- CMI pulley (as of 9/2, still at site)
- battery box, with charging stuff (deployed at the tower)
--> stuff returned to Kurt/Gordon on week of 9/2:
- rope (Kurt, never used, the two sections we had at the tower worked)
- connector for the battery pack (Kurt)
- network cable (Gordon, approx 50')
- small plastic bag of set screws (Kurt, extras for booms)
- Keyspan usb-to-serial adapter + usb/serial cable (Gordon)
- short Aluminum adaptor section, removed from one boom (Kurt)
- two empty CSAT suitcases (sn 0677 and sn 0855)
* need to get:
- correctly sized plates for the square u-bolts
- slightly longer u-bolts (to mount booms to the tower)
- a deep socket set (3/8", 7/16", 5/8")
* also, need to order cameras from wingscapes!
* CSAT3 suitcases are currently in my office at NCAR. (store in
the dave bowling shed?)
803: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 26-Aug-2015 10:51:32 MDT, site visit on Friday, August 22nd, 2014 (SpB)
Friday, August 22nd, 2014 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, swap N2 cylinder,
change LI-6262 Nupro inlet filter (never did this).
Weather: overcast and cool in the morning. Heavy rain/hail
storm starting at around 2pm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU prius.
* Duane was working. Three trucks from NEON came down from the ridge
in the middle of the rain storm.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1490 psi. N2/ZeroAir at 100 psi---> 1300 psi
* at 13:00 MST, swapped N2 cylinder with ZeroAir cylinder;
old=cc329280, new= cc153241 (zero air)
* LI-7200 Heater at 0.20 A at 17.9 V, changed to 0.18 A at 15.6 V
* measurements of the tower levels:
-- it is approx 185 cm between levels..however it seems like it should
be 2m between levels? (need to double-check this!?)
If 1.85m spacing, then very top of tower is 14*1.85m = 25.90 m
If 2m spacing, then very top of tower is 14*2m = 28m.
- the good horiz strut (long side, facing toward the SW) to use is
approx 94cm above the level platform at each level (heights shown are
from these struts).
level 14 ------ TOP (upward-looking PAR sensor)
level 13 ------ 25.5m, Radiation Sensors [ok, straight]
level 12 ------ 23.35m, CSI boxes (for CPEC200) [maybe, angle]
level 11 ------ 21.5m CSAT3 (main flux level) [no]
level 10 ------ 19.65m, LI7550 boxes (on SE side) [ok, either orientation]
level 9 ------ 17.8m, cr23x (FAST) [ok, angle]
level 8 ------ 15.95m, webcams [maybe, straight only]
level 7 ------ 14.1m, prop-vane [ok, either orientation]
level 6 ------ 12.25m, ATI boom [ok, need to move boom]
level 5 ------ 10.40m, cr23x (MET) + rain gauge [messy]
level 4 ------ 8.55m, power box + platform [ok, angle]
level 3 ------ 6.70m, LI-6262 box [ok, angle]
level 2 ------ 4.85m, LI-6251 box [ok, angle]
level 1 ------ 3.00m, power [ok, angle]
level 0 ------ Ground, slighly elevated due to concrete pad.
* to mount the CSAT boom at an angle (connected to 2 points on
the tower) will require about 1.7m of boom.
* these are from the NCAR tower (niwot02)..which I think is the same
as the AmeriFlux tower:

Hi Max,
Did you visit the tower when you were in Colorado? Yesterday I
noticed that the pump was off...I found that the extension cord that
goes to the picarro shed was disconnected...apparently this extension
cord is undersized for the amount of power it is using because where
they connect it's warm. Though I had wrapped the connection in
electrical tape the warmth from the cord caused the tape to become
loose and the connection became compromised.
anyway, I reconnected it and put the cord in a position where it won't
have any stress on it (so even if the tape comes loose it won't slip
off). Hopefully, it is working now...Is anyone from your group going
up to the site re-do the power connection from the bowling shed to the
picarro shed (ie, before winter sets in)? I would recommend that the
power and network cable both get wrapped in some kind of protection so
that nothing can chew through them over the winter...
Can we transfer data files sometime next week? Can you put the data
files collected since July 17, 2013 on an ftp site or should I setup a
site here in Colorado?
thanks!
SpB.

* changed the jumper as per Gordon's suggestion (see below, note did
this without powering down the titan).

Subject: Re: seems to be working now...
The titan has a battery backed clock, using that nickel-sized watch
battery in the middle of the card. If you connect the JP1-BAT
jumper (next to the battery) over the two pins, then the hardware
clock runs.
The hardware clock is only used at bootup time to set the system
clock. Otherwise when the titan boots up, it thinks it is year
2000, and must have the GPS or an ntp step-ticker server to set its
clock. With the hardware clock, the system clock is pretty close
(< 1 sec offset) on bootup and ntp can quickly fix it.
I don't think it is connected on your titan, since it is showing year 2000:
hwclock --show
Fri Feb 18 22:16:45 2000Â -1.005286 seconds
I just set the hw clock from the system clock:
hwclock --systohc
And now it is close:
hwclock --show
Tue Aug 12 16:03:14 2014Â -0.620256 seconds
If you connect the battery, and check that the hwclock is close,
then after the next powerfail, the system will come up with a good
clock. That battery will probably last 5 years, and if it dies, it
doesn't cause any issue other than the system won't have a good
clock at bootup again. Setting the jumper makes things a bit more
robust, I think, in case the GPS dies too.

802: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 26-Aug-2015 10:46:58 MDT, site visit on Wednesday, August 6th, 2014 (SpB)
Wednesday, August 6th, 2014 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check on
network, move GPS serial channel.
Weather: A bit breezy and cloudy. I didn't
arrive until late afternoon.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* stayed and listened to a lecture in the "megaron" at MRS.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1590 psi, N2 at 510 psi
* at approx 7:30 MST, network to C1 down (Kelly working with network
folks, left it disconnected)..this was fixed on the morning of
August 7th...apparently a speck of dust was on the end of the fiber
optic line!
* LI-7200 heater at 0.18 A at 16.2 V (seems stable)
* downloaded logger data (note, no network connection, so brought down
on usb thumbdrive):

* moved GPS signal input on titan2/isffa from /dev/ttyS4 to /dev/ttyS7.
notes: -- on Aug 7/8 setup ntp to use the GPS on the titan/isffa
-- on Aug 11 setup russter2 to use the isffa for ntp (this caused
some trouble in re-starting it, but it eventually seems to have
worked).
* confirmed that the GPS was working (change_gps_serial_port.txt):
I have sensors hooked up to serial ports 3 and 5, ie:

At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: replace LI-7200 flow module, swap dessicant,
setup GPS in titan2/isffa.
Weather: Clear and sunny (all day). A few clouds
down on the plains.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU prius.
*
---------
* Span cylinder at ?? psi, N2 at ?? psi
* a useful page about GPS/linux:
http://www.lammertbies.nl/comm/info/GPS-time.html
* cut a serial cable to read the GPS data into the titan2.
Wiring:

pu rtscts Yes
for some reason the baud rate and other things are not saved
properly? Also, I noticed there is something called:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 208 Jun 26 2013 /etc/minirc.gps0
However, when I connected to the GPS with hyperterm it showed the data
coming out properly (see photo)...
800: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 04-Nov-2014 12:57:18 MST, site visit on Sunday, July 27th, 2014 (SpB, KK)
Sunday, July 27th, 2014 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB, KK
Purpose of visit: download logger data, setup
PAR sensor, transport N2, setup LI-7200.
Weather: Clear in the morning, then threatened rain.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Jeep. Met Katy at the tower.
* Katy Knoebl (Sac State) met me at the tower to help out.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1790 psi, N2 at 1200 psi
* added 25' of "split loom" to the fiber cable near the creek. This
won't fix the problem, but maybe it will help. The foam seems to be
working...
* added driver for usb-to-serial device to plumwood (dell laptop):
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns aster 4557103 Jul 27 10:09 Keyspan_Driver_for_USA-19HS_v3.7S_xp.zip
* at 12:30 MST, removed the two IR sensors that were not working
from the NCTC logger.
* from 12:10-12:20 MST, swapped LI-6262 nupro filter (the one in the
box)
* at around 11:30 MST, installed KZ PAR-LITE at top of tower.
Notes: uses DIFF ch.9, this is "PAR2.up" in data system.
wiring:
white wire = H
green wire = L
shield = GND.
-------------------------------------------------
Info about KZ Par Lite sensor (from OSU/Berkley):

* ran a network cable out to the UC tower.
* tried to connect the LI-7550 box at the UC tower, but it was using
too much power and stressing out the UCB logger. Need to have
independent battery/power to run this system. Might need to start
replacing some batteries?...
* another attempt to make the CR3000 control the cr23x clock:

Purpose of visit: move gas cylinders, move titan
to trailer, replace pump, clean LI-7200 cell...
Weather: Variable. Threatened rain at times.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Jeep Cherokee.
* snow is completely GONE...the ground was dry and crispy. Flow in
creek is still strong, but no overflow on 2nd board crossing (probably
need to do bridge repairs).
* attempted to do some cleanup of the trailer (brought the LAI-2000
back to campus (cristol)
---------
* Span cylinder at 1850 psi. N2 at 1500 psi.
* picked up the following N2 cylinders from snow shed:
New N2 cylinders moved from MRS to C1 on 6/24/2013: cc316422 (apd783),
cc197414 (apv109), cc153282 (bpr896), cc41189 (apv113)

Cylinders moved to snowshed on 6/24/13:
--------------------------------------
cc175574 span airgas= 676.6 ppm; probably at 800 psi?
sg9162521 span airgas= 748.9 ppm; probably at 800 psi?
cc153468 span airgas= 5125 ppm
cc321228 span moved to trailer on 4/24/14, retired on 4/8/14 at approx 20 psi, started on 8/2/13 at 1900 psi, moved to tower on 8/2/13, moved from campus on 10/14/10, airgas=397.7 ppm
cc282352 span still at 200 psi? retired on 5/17/10 (100 psi). started on 12/19/09, 1590 psi; airgas= 397.7 ppm, cal (080604), 2150 psi, (398.76+397.42+397.36+397.54)./4= 397.77 ppm
cc176525 N2 retired on 8/19/13 at 200 psi, started on 6/4/13 at 2100 psi, moved to tower (not sure when), moved to trailer 10/16/12
csg897717hpc pure co2 SMALLER size (80A?) pure co2 (full)
* from 11:30-12:30 MST, replaced the gast pump...ran it for about 20
min disconnected from LI6262 (to flush out any junk in
lines)....need to replace nupro filters soon...old pump is in the
trailer and I haven't checked it yet to see what happened...
* at 14:30 MST, changed range of LI-7200 co2 (DAC) from
0 V = 380 ppm --> 0V = 360 ppm
5 V = 430 ppm --> 5V = 410 ppm
* screen shot of LI-7200 settings:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 208885 Jun 24 14:32 li7200_check_140624.png*
* at around 14:30 MST, adjusted power to LI-7200 inlet assembly
heater..it was actually very high when I opened the box (0.3 A, 27
V)...I lowered it to 0.23 A at 20.4V....but it didn't seem very
stable?...also, there was some water in the box...I couldn't see an
obvious way water got in there (condensation?)...
* For tree sway system:
at 12:00:00 MST, removed SD card
at 12:00:10 MST, inserted new SD card
* Moved the titan DSM from campus/cristol (where it was "titan2") up
to the trailer; dreamplug is now running in Cristol as "titan2". In
trailer the titan is "isffa". Ran a single wire from C3 on cr3000 to
C3 on cr23x. fastpb15 is running on cr23xPB in the trailer, and made
sure the time is ok...this is the program that SHOULD do time updates
(meant to run it in free-form)....I meant to run fastpb17 which does
not do any time resets! Didn't have time to check if the programs are
both running correctly....

ice dam under the bridge this year). Melt is happening and
Aspens along the creek are just starting to break bud.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* followed moose tracks along the trail (they seem to be using our
trail). Also, several large'ish scats along the trail---not sure
what, but might be a territory thing?
* met new guy (name?) that is assisting Kelly at MRS.

popped). Ran a new extention cord from bowling shed into picarro shed
to get power there (picarro now seems ok)
* swapped SD card in "clearing" webcam
* at 13:40 MST, tried to fix T.ir sensor #3 (seems to have a problem?)
* at 13:50? MST, adjusted flow rate in span/N2 of LI-6262 system

Friday, May 16th, 2014 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB, PB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, install T.ir
sensors
Weather: Clear, sunny warm (and windy) in the morning, then the
clouds/fog moved in and it became calm in the afternoon. It was a
light rain/snow mix when I departed.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Prius.
* stopped by campus to get T.ir sensors and McGuckins for some
supplies.
* signif snowstorm last weekend...covered the old snow
with a layer of mushy snow...
* met Peter Brown at C1, who is doing some micro-coring
of trees near the tower.
---------
* Span cylinder at 600 psi. N2 at 500 psi
* moved N2 cc329280 to tower, moved N2 cc264936 back to trailer
* snow depths (taken from top of tape!)
closest to tree = covered
TP101 461 middle probe = over highest mark!
farthest probe = over highest mark!
* at 11:27:00 MST, removed SD card from tree-sway system
at 11:27:15 MST, inserted new SD card into tree-sway system
* re-measured distance from 21.5m CSAT3 to upper picarro inlet
* checked picarro system (seems ok)
* re-measured distance from 21.5m CSAT3 to upper picarro inlet
- found the picarro inlet was 85cm below REBS sensor
- found the picarro inlet was 280cm above the 21.5m CSAT3
--> 2150cm + 280cm = 2430cm (24.3 m)
--> REBS sensor 2150+280+85= 2515cm (25.15 m)
* at 13:00 MST, moved 21.5m LI-7500 further out on boom
* at 13:11 MST, adjusted flow rate in span/N2 of LI-6262 system
* at 13:26 MST, slight adjustment to orientation of T.ir sensors

---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, install T.ir

Weather: There was a slight lull around mid-day, but it
was generally quite windy and sunny.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Prius.
* stopped by campus to get T.ir sensors and McGuckins for some
supplies.
* the snow is really starting to melt! I could go up the powerline
hiking mostly on dirt. Water is flowing down the road below C1, there
is open water at the bridge. The snow on the trail to the tower is
still quite firm and fine for walking (or hauling cylinders).
* I was supposed to meet Peter Brown at C1, but he had to cancel at
the last minute. Mark Raleigh and Ethan Gutmann (NCAR) both talked
about coming up, but neither made the trip...
---------
* Span cylinder at 980 psi. N2 at 900 psi
* moved span cc254814 to tower, moved span cc321228 back to trailer
* snow depths (taken from top of tape!)
closest to tree = covered
TP101 461 middle probe = over highest mark!
farthest probe = over highest mark!
* confirmed that the LI-7200 is still working well:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 545722 Apr 24 10:13 li7200_check_140424.png*
* for Ethan: swapped SD card (tree-sway system):
at 12:27:00 MST, removed SD card
at 12:27:30 MST, inserted new SD card
* to help Max: dug out picarro shed door, turned on fan and rebooted
picarro system (there were some complaints during install of XP
updates).
* at 16:30 MST, started ops69 (installed AM25T + T.ir sensors), new
NCTC logger program (nctc_03.csi).
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 4705 Apr 24 18:10 nctc_03.csi*
* now the thermocouples T1-T4 are attached to the AM25T and the others
(T5-T12) were left as-is connected to the cr23x (need to check and see
if using the AM25T changes anything!)
* wiring up the AM25T was a bit slow and tedious...and when I first
set things up the T.ir snowtherm sensors were not working...perhaps
because there were multiple measurements taking place with those
sensors? not sure why...also added the calibration information (Mult
and Offset) to the Diff measurement...ie, from nctc_03.csi:
; nctc_03.csi
; added an am25t mux + 3 snowtherm IR sensors
; sn 7791, diff ch2 (toward southwest, away from tower), shady side
; sn 7792, diff ch3 (toward northeast, toward/past tower), sunny side
; sn 7794, diff ch4 (down-looking)
; 4/24/14, spb.

Hi Mark,
I was able to service the two cameras near the N Canopy tower, but not
the one on the main tower. I fixed the date problem on NIWOT-02 and
you will see the date/time jump on the last photo, ie:
-rwxr-xr-x 1598386 Mar 11 13:30 MDGC3669.JPG*
-rwxr-xr-x 1582778 Apr 8 13:38 MDGC3670.JPG*
the batteries for NIWOT-02 was at around 15% so I swapped them...the
NIWOT-03 batteries were still at 99% (hopefully I was looking at the
correct value)...so I left them as-is. I changed the program on
NIWOT-03 to start at 7 MST and end at 7 MST. Probably should have set
it to start at 6 MST...
I have your SD cards (2 from the cameras, one that I never used) and
batteries in my office. The four used AA batteries are outside of the
plastic bag...
can't recall if you are here today, but feel free to stop by and
get them anytime...

Hi Mark,
I have your SD cards and batteries in my office...I downloaded the
images from the SD cards to my computer which seems like the best way
that I can get them (i.e., rather than giving you a usb disk, etc). A
few notes,
* for Niwot-01 (top of AmeriFlux tower) I didn't have much time to
spend...I couldn't read the screen, but I switched the SD card and
batteries (in the blind).
* For Niwot-02 (camera at the top of the N. Canopy tower), it looks
like the month was set to Feb rather than March. Unfortunately, I
only looked at the day and time and didn't notice the month was off
when I was there...also, after putting in the new batteries, the power
level seemed low (I think around 60%)?
* For Niwot-03, everything seemed fine and the power level was still
over 90%.
I was actually rather out of it on Friday and probably should have
stayed in town...hopefully I didn't screw anything up too badly!
SpB.
-----------------------------
* tried to power cycle to 2-d ati sensor, but didn't change things too
much, ie u is off-scale...need to check the data.
* at around 16:30 MST, dug out snow over the lowest inlet for co2
profile system.
* downloaded logger data (note, I forgot to reconnect the
serial cable for the NCARTC logger, doh!):

Wednesday, March 5th, 2014 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB, MR
Purpose of visit: install a camera.
Weather: Quite Windy with lots of blowing snow.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* still lots and LOTS of snow at the site. had to dig out the
trailer, and am just stepping over the fence to reach the tower.
* Mark and Ethan were planning to meet me at the tower. Ethan
cancelled and Mark was about an hour late.
---------
* Span cylinder at 300 psi. N2 at 510 psi.
* snow depths (taken from top of tape!)
closest to tree = covered
TP101 461 middle probe = over highest mark!
farthest probe = over highest mark!
* Mark installed the camera looking at the clearing near the
N. canopy tower.
* there was snow on both the sub-canopy radiation sensors (I cleared
it off at around 11 MST).
* downloaded logger data:

this confirmed that the MRS PC card was working ok (or else the card
currently with the logger has a problem).

----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: check on LI-7200, download
logger data.
Weather: Windy. the snow is super deep!
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* lots and LOTS of snow at the site. had to dig out the trailer, and
also lots of snow in the lower part of the tower. brought snowshoes
which were useful.
* went to Dean's shed to look for a palm pilot (didn't find it).
---------
* Span cylinder at ? psi. N2 at 600 psi.
* snow depths (taken from top of tape!)
closest to tree = covered
TP101 461 middle probe = over highest mark!
farthest probe = over highest mark!
* at approx 13:00 MST, reset the LI-7550 (this fixed the system, usb
data being saved again). The network connection at the tower seemed
fine (ie, green light blinking, etc). This was surprising. I hit
the "reset" button on the LI-7550 and it came back up. After
looking more at the system logs on the LI-7550, I suspect someone
might have hacked into the system....they tried to do something
which caused the system to lock up. I asked the CU networking group
to increase the firewall protection and now the logs are "quiet".
No one outside CU can get past the firewall (or at least it is much
more difficult).
* from 13:18-13:20 MST, adjusted LI-6262 cal gas flow rate
* downloaded logger data:

Friday, November 29th, 2013 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: swap the 2.5m LI-7500s, download
logger data.
Weather: A bit windy and cool (but not too cold). Dry.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU prius.
* drove up lefthand canyon for the first time since the
flood. impressive damage!
* on the way back down there was a huge bull moose standing
by the side of the road.
* forgot to bring the usb-to-serial converter!
* had a delicious turkey burrito for lunch!
* still to do:
- replace the vanes in the GAST pump
---------
* Span cylinder at 1000 psi. N2 at 1300 psi.
* snow depths (taken from top of tape!)
closest to tree = 19 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 25 cm
farthest probe = 25 cm

* rearranged the connections to the terminal strip in the fast logger (also
removed the electrical box that adds a bias/offset to the co2/h2o). Note
h2o.ec was still using this, but co2.ec was no loger using it. Moved:
ch1 co2.ec ------> ch2 % range of 5000 mV
ch2 t.ec --------> ch3
ch10 co2.ec155 --> ch4
ch3 p.ec --------> ch8 % range of 1000 mV
ch4 h2o.ec ------> ch9
So, the new channels are:
; CR23X Channel Number Sensor
; 1
; 2 a2 co2.ec (5000 mV range) red (H)/black
; 3 a3 t.ec (5000 mV range) green (H)/black
; 4 a4 co2.ec155 (added 10/8/13) (5000 mV range)
; 5 a5 h2o.kr (5000 mV range) grey (H)/black
; 6 a6 ec.Ftot (5000 mV range) green (H)/black
; 7 thermocouple 1
; 8 a8 p.ec (1000 mV range)
; 9 a9 h2o.ec (1000 mV range)
; 10
; 11
; 12 se23: co2.li7200 se24: h2o.7200
;
; 11/29/13, spb.

Tuesday, November 12th, 2013 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, SM
Purpose of visit: add the analog cable to collect
analog CSAT3 data with the LI-7550.
Weather: perfect!
--------- Misc Notes:
* Jason Hupp from LI-COR was visiting; he drove up his rental and
Stefan drove up his van.
* we met at NEON prior to going to the site.
* still to do:
- replace the vanes in the GAST pump
---------
* Span cylinder at 1150 psi. N2 at 1700 psi.
* added analog out from CSAT3 into LI-7550, moved LI-7200 inlet closer
to CSAT sampling volume (calculate new separation), returned LI-7200
cables to Stefan
* Jason confirmed the 2.5m LI-7500 problem (appears to be related to
the connector)
* here is the new configuration file of the LI-7550/7200:

Thursday, November 7th, 2013 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, EG, M
Purpose of visit: ?
Weather: sunny and warm. wave clouds.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* Ethan and Mark were at the tower to setup a camera.
* still to do:
- replace the vanes in the GAST pump
---------
* Span cylinder at 1190 psi. N2 at 1800 psi.
* started ops68 (renamed UC CSATs to correct hts, added 2D ATI), new
UC logger program (uc_05.csi).
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 4657 Nov 7 10:24 uc_05.csi*

* FINALLY, renamed the undercanopy CSAT data to the correct variable
names (no longer need to remember that "4m" is actually 2.5m and "2m"
is actually 5.7m....this will affect several programs in the data
processing (and I might regret making this change!)...
I forgot to make a note of which is which in uc_05.csi!! But u.1-u.5
is the 5.7m CSAT and u.6-u.10 is the 2.5m CSAT!
* removed KZ PAR-Lite sensor from the tower.
* added back in the 2d ati sensor (u.ati2 v.ati2 tc.ati2)...it was last used
in ops44/45....note, I'm sampling these data at 10-hz...I was doing this before
and then I changed it to 1-Hz (not sure if there was a reason I did this?), ie:
at 10-Hz:

* swapped LI-7200 heated inlet, reduced power from 4.6W to 4W
* Using the usb-to-serial adaptor I was able to connect to the 2.5m
LI-7500..it had an AGC value of 100% (see photos)...after cleaning
this dropped to around 65% and it seemed to be working ok, but then
about 2 hours after it was working it stopped working again....
* from approx 16:06-16:15 MST, Changed profiler (li-6251) dessicant

779: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 24-Feb-2014 12:33:10 MST, site visit on Saturday, November 2nd, 2013 (SpB)
Saturday, November 2nd, 2013 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: swap LI-7200s. Check 2.5m LI-7500.
Weather: Clear and breezy. At times the wind died down. Warm for Nov.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Jeep (2WD, but still able to get up road).
* some snow on the ground (sticks to the cart wheels). It took 2
attempts, but I was able to get up the road to C1.
* Stefan and a german CGD vistor stopped by the tower.
* Max B. was removing some test lines with the Picarro.
* still to do:
- remove one of the LI-7200 sections of black tubing (to the blower).
- replace the vanes in the GAST pump
---------
* Span cylinder at 1210 psi. N2 at 1950 psi.
* the CSAT box from Peter didn't have a serial cable, but it did have
an analog output cable...so I'll return the one he gave me back to
Cristol...
* found a serial cable in the trailer, but not sure if it's for the
CSAT (it doesn't have CSAT written on it)...it has a circular
connector with 10-pins that looks correct (see photo of CSAT3
connector box)...never had a chance to try and plug it in (or test the
software)...the cable is labeled as "RS232 ouput cable, Job #53926".
* summary of swapping the LI-7200s:
- sn 72H-0479 (from LI-COR) replaced sn 72H-0192 (from NEON)
- list of stuff mailed by LI-COR is at the end of this list (note,
left one box with the LI-COR stuff in the trailer + one empty box
on campus in Cristol).
- documents with the LI-7550: serial number: AIU-1110
pressure sensor, A0= 58.673, A1=15.549, sn= PX-3528
LI-7200 CO2/H2O Analyzer
Calibration Certificate Serial number 72H-0479
CO2 Calibration Values Signal Strength*
A= B=0.053
C=0.042
[add/check these numbers later]
- need to return at least two cables to NEON:
* the cable that connects the flow module (LI-7200-101)
to the LI-7550 to NEON..it's cable #?
* the analog input/output cable that connects to the
quacker data system (licor part #392-10109)
* also didn't change the power supply, the power cables, or the
ethernet cable on the tower.
- slight problem #1: For the LI-7200 "out" port (which connects the
tygon tubing to the flow module), there was a swagelok fitting on
the LI-COR LI-7200 rather than the barbed fitting which was on the
NEON LI-7200...to fix this, I put the NEON barbed fitting on the
LI-COR li7200..here is a photo AFTER swapping the fittings:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/131102/pic00016.jpg
- slight problem #2: The LI-COR intake tube assembly appeared to
have NPT threads rather than the swagelok (male) fitting needed to
connect to the "in" port on the LI-7200. There might have been a
way around this, but I did the simpler thing and just kept on
using the NEON LI-7200 heated intake tube assembly. This also
minimizes the number of changes when swapping LI-7200s...
- reduced LI-7200 inlet heater from 5W to 4.6W,
- need to double-check the flow rate (the flow rate is set to 13
SLPM rather than 11 SLPM which is what NEON uses)
- re-routed the tygon tubing so everything is shorter and more
direct (previously we had two sections of tygon coupled together).
- put foam around the LI-7200 body (so it wont' bang against the
bracket). see:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/131102/pic00019.jpg
- didn't install the water trap (looks awkard to install, and don't
think we need it in the winter at Niwot site).
- had some trouble with making the network connection; eventually
connected with the serial cable and was able to get the IP address
set, etc. In the end it worked fine and might have been a typo
by me?!?....NOTE: I left the serial cable in the LI-7550 box.
- saved the following configuration files:
with NEON li-7200:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 4581 Nov 2 11:25 config_131102_neon_all.l7x*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 3602 Nov 2 11:26 config_131102_neon_part.l7x*
with LI-COR li7200:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 4527 Nov 2 16:56 config_131102_licor_ver2.l7x*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 4545 Nov 2 17:08 config_131102_licor_ver3.l7x*
(note, I didn't use any of the configuration files, just made the
changes by hand...and have not updated all site info, etc). But
the variables saved are exactly as before....at 20-hz with 10-hz
filter.
- the co2 and sig strengths now look good, ie:

- the packing list and notes provided by Jiahong:
1. LI-7210, s/n 72H-0479, quantity 1
2. LI-7550, s/n AIU-1110, 1
3. LI-7200-101 s/n FM1-0147, 1
4. 7200 Cable Assembly, p/n 9972-012
5. 7200 Spares/Cleaning Kit, p/n 7200-028, 1
6. 7550 Spares Kit, p/n 9975-023, 1
7. Heated intake tube with Swagelok filter and rain cup, 2
8. Water trap, 1
9. Canister wrench for the water trap, 1
(Note: Used to unscrew or screw the canister. Turn clockwise to unscrew).
10. Long Tygon tubing, 1
11. Short Tygon tubing, 1
12. Air filter, p/n 301-10381, 2 (1spare)
13. Horse clamp, 6 (2 spares)
Note: A. 1. A heating element is installed per NEON’s recommendation
(Thermal Devices TD010300C1). This is a Watlow 100 Ohm (010300C1)
heater rated at 120 VAC and 150 Watts. For any given Voltage, you
can compute the power from P = V^2/R. At 30 Volts, it produces (30
Volts)^2/ (100 Ohms) = 9 watts. Here is a link to the Watlow catalog
http://www.watlow.com/downloads/en/catalogs/heaters.pdf
B. The opposing flats on two nuts near the raincup are masked off.
These flats will allow two wrenches to be used to loosen and rotate
the raincup to horizontal after it is installed. The orientation of
the raincup will depend on how the tube threads into the 7200 head,
so they can only be adjusted after final installation.
Note: The water trap should be installed close to the flow module
using the short tubing (flow module to OUT of water trap). The long
tubing is used for connecting IN of water trap to the LI-7200
head. Horse clamps should used for tighten all the connections).
* LI-7200 data files during the LI-7200 swap (note, some of these
should NOT be used because variables are not consistent in them):

778: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 24-Feb-2014 12:30:24 MST, site visit on Thursday, October 24th, 2013 (SpB)
Thursday, October 24th, 2013 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: swap N2 cylinder. Move t.med, upgrade fast logger
program.
Weather: Sunny, warm, calm. Perfect day to work on the tower!
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep (Duane gave me a lift from MRS)
* At the end of last week snowed about 8". There is still some snow
on the ground in the forest. The steep part of the road still has
snow and is getting iced up (I saw tracks indicating someone had
gotten stuck there).
* saw Dean moving gas cylinders to USGS tower (didn't get to
talk to him).
* John Knowles was servicing the TDL.
* brought up the new NEON inlet (to leave at the tower), but Stefan
sent an email that they needed it so I carried it back down with me
(returned to NEON on the morning of 10/25).
* still to do:
- put foam around the LI-7200 body
- remove one of the LI-7200 sections of black tubing (to the blower).
- replace the vanes in the GAST pump
---------
* Span cylinder at 1300 psi. N2 at 0 ---> 2150 psi.
* at 11:30 MST, swapped N2 cylinder; old=cc63143 new=cc329215
* The GPS apparently is not working well on the cpec200, so I moved
the power cable from 12V to SWSW12V-1 and uploaded a new program to
the cr3000:
rw-r--r-- 1 sburns aster 160310 Oct 23 22:44 Cpec200_v1_4_01_3.cr3
the new program is supposed to apply power to the GPS after power
outages, etc. (It didn't seem to be working when I uploaded it).
* These are the versions of the program I have:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 160578 Sep 15 14:37 Cpec200_v1_4_01.cr3*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 159554 Oct 24 12:16 Cpec200_v1_4_01_2.cr3*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 160310 Oct 23 22:44 Cpec200_v1_4_01_3.cr3*
* took a few screenshots of the cr3000 connection which are:

went back to the new program:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 867793 Oct 24 16:35 ec155_recheck_final9.png*
* uploaded a few fast logger program (making co2.ec155 high-res, plus
changing around the order of variables output), ie:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 7539 Oct 24 12:02 fast_19.csi*
* moved tc.med down to the 2.5m CSAT. tc.met is now being sampled by
the UC logger so updated the program (which had a lot of unecessary
junk in it, could/should clean it up even more):
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 5621 Oct 24 16:15 uc_04.csi*
* took both of these new logger programs into account with a new ops
file (ops67.tar). wiring note: purple= HIGH, red=L
* at 13:20 MST, reduced the LI-7200 heated inlet power from 6 W
(0.25A, 22.3 V) to 5 W (0.24 A, 21.0 V)
* powered on the cr10 MRS logger...
- put foam around the LI-7200 body
- remove one of the LI-7200 sections of black tubing (to the blower).
- replace the vanes in the GAST pump

Subject: IRGA Comparison: quick update...
Hi All,
A short update about what's happening with the IRGA comparison (please
let me know if I write anything wrong):
* Tower visit from yesterday (10/24).
- uploaded a new program to the cr3000 that runs the cpec200.
- updated the tower data system to collect analog co2 from ec.155 in
hi-resolution. The tower data system is now ingesting analog co2
from both the LI-7200 and the EC-155.
- lowered the power for the LI-7200 heated inlet from 6W to 5W
(following the recommndation from Stefan).
- there was snow on the road to the trailer and could see someone
has already gotten a bit stuck in the steep section. If we get
the storm that's supposed to hit early next week, it will likely
close the road...
777: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 24-Feb-2014 12:27:34 MST, site visit on Tuesday, October 8th, 2013 (SpB, ES, JT)
Tuesday, October 8th, 2013 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB, ES, JT
Purpose of visit: move the cpec200 system, download logger data.
Weather: Breezy in the morning, then quite nice (warm and calm).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Jeep
* met Ed and Jim at MRS at 8am. Jim T. was doing the tower
inspection for Martin & Martin.
* came up boulder canyon which just re-opened on Sunday, Oct 6th.
* there was a small snowstorm since the last visit.
* mushrooms are all dead!
---------
* Span cylinder at 1400 psi. N2 at 510 psi
* Ed brought a freshly calibrated EC-155 head to replace the one
currently on the tower.
* from 9:00-10:30 MST, Ed Swiatek and I moved the CPEC200 system from
approx 23m down to the level of the other CSATs/IRGAs (21.5m).
- the CSAT3A from the CPEC200 is between the EOL CSAT and CU CSAT.
- The CSAT3A is 40cm away from the EOL CSAT3 and 100cm from the CU
CSAT.
- moved the LI-7500 from being adjecent to the EOL CSAT to now be
between the EOL and CPEC200 booms and about 80cm behind the two
CSATs. (the LI-7500 could be moved further out on the boom at
some later date).
- photo of setup:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/131008/pic00028.jpg
- the inlet for the LI-7200 could be moved closer to the CSAT
sampling volume.
- add foam around the LI-7200 body to avoid bumping against the
bolts of the mounting bracket in strong winds (see photo).
- add extra hose clamps (bring from trailer!) to further secure the
CPEC200 boom and LI-7500 mount.
- current CPEC sampling rate is 10 samples/sec (LI-7200 is
20 samples/sec on the usb thumb drive).
- the tower data system is now ingesting an analog co2 voltage from
both the LI-7200 (co2.li7200) and EC-155 (co2.ec155). These can
be used to check time stamps in post-processing as well as quick
confirmation that the instruments are working (via cockpit).
NOTE: need to ingest co2.ec155 as a High Resolution value!! (need
to modify logger program)
- Ed will setup an ftp site to share the CPEC200 raw data.
* wiring for EC-155,
co2, green = +, white = neg.
h2o, blue = +, yellow = negative
red/black, not used.
* conversion of EC-155 voltage to co2:
A=211.27; B=-56.34;
co2_ec155_umolmol=A.*co2_ec155_mV./1000 +B; % convert mV to volts
and h2o is:
gain=11.31 units? offset= -3.04
* tried to fix the T/RH4 RH readings by checking the wiring (this
didn't help). (it's on the met logger, in SE chan 21/22)
* at 13:00 MST, started ops68 (removed t.med, added co2.ec155), new
FAST logger program (fast_18.csi).
* turned off EC/Prof fans
* powered up noah cr10x logger
* moved 4 cylinders from MRS to C1/trailer:
cc264936 N2 trlr moved to trailer on 10/8/13 (barcode, APL994)
gg22047 N2 trlr moved to trailer on 10/8/13 (barcode, DDG941)

776: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 10-Feb-2014 16:57:27 MST, site visit on Tuesday, September 17th, 2013 (SpB)
Tuesday, Sept 17th, 2013 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: fix chan201 (fast logger)
Weather: Breezy and a bit cool (feels like the end of summer).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Jeep
* this is the first trip to the site after the massive
flood in boulder county between Sept 11-15.
* came up sunshine canyon which is the only local route.
* there were two juvenile moose around C1 that were splashing
in the pool near the trailer and going crazy!
* tons of mushrooms everywhere!
---------
* Span cylinder at 1600 psi. N2 at 1150 psi
* at about 12:00 MST, fixed network connection to LI-7200 (time seemed
fine, but it might have corrected itself, but the time I checked it??)
* power went out and data system went down on Thursday night:

* yesterday Andy Watt was kind enough to reboot the quacker
and fill the laser with LN2 (for John Knowles). It was great
to see the quacker reboot cleanly, but chan 201 (fast logger)
didn't come back up. Andy resent the program, but this didn't
fix the problem.
* logger seemed fine, so my conclusion was that the transmission to
the quacker was the problem. First, tried swapping individual
components with the prf logger to get it working again...first swapped
the sc932 which didn't fix it...then installed a new ME271A short-haul
modem (logger end). This didn't fix it. Tried to swap channels at the
edgeport box...ie, used:
drwxrwsr-x 2 sburns aster 4096 Sep 17 13:49 ops1_old_ops65_testing/
drwxrwsr-x 2 sburns aster 4096 Sep 17 10:01 ops65_testing/
There was a diagnostic module in the trailer and tried to use that in
the quacker box...this seemed to indicate the data were coming into
the quacker.
* in the end, I swapped all the components (including cables) from the
prf logger with the fast logger...I also replaced the cable at the
quacker end...this made it start working (note, the setup in the prf
logger worked too!)...it seemed like the problem might have been the
cable going from the short-haul to the edgeport (after it was working,
I put in the old cable and it failed!)....after everything was working
I went back to the original ops file (ops64), ie:
drwxrwsr-x 2 sburns aster 4096 Jul 15 16:40 ops1/
drwxrwsr-x 2 sburns aster 4096 May 7 10:52 ops64/
* note that in July, I updated cover.config, ie:
diff ops64/covar.config ops1/covar.config
60,61c60,61
< ## EOL CSAT and LI-7200 flux data
< 11 F u.csi.eol v.csi.eol w.csi.eol tc.csi.eol co2.li7200;
---
> ## EOL CSAT and LI-7200 flux data updated on 7/15/13 to include co2.mmol h2o.mmol, because LI-7500 is now paired with "EOL" csat3...
> 11 F u.csi.eol v.csi.eol w.csi.eol tc.csi.eol co2.li7200 co2.mmol h2o.mmol;
* I now have a box of "backup" components in the trailer that I can
use to test/replace certain parts that fail in the data system.

* Andy Watt rebooted quacker on 9/16/13 at around 13:20 MST.
* system shutdown on the evening on Sept 12th...note, massive flooding
in Boulder...also, it appears that ch201 (fast logger) died before the
other loggers??....is this because the battery there dies before the
others? Or, this could be a sign of damage of other components (ie,
downstream of logger) due to lightning?

Tuesday, July 23rd, 2013 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB, SC, SB
Purpose of visit: setup of the AmeriFlux IC.
Weather: high clouds. calm, sunny, and dry.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Prius.
* Stephen Chan and Sebastien Biraud from Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory were bringing up the intercomparison stuff. Met them at
MRS at 8:30am.
*
*
---------
* Span cylinder at 200 psi. N2 at 900 psi.
* Helped Stephen and Sebastien carry a load of stuff to the tower.
Note, they also brought along the pulley and rope to haul stuff up the
tower (we used the same bar that we used with Christoph in 2006!)
* at 9:00 MST, reset gfi outlet (for Picarro), note the instrument has
other problems and power needs to be shut-off to the entire shed.
* at 9:20 MST, increased the LI-7200 heated inlet power to
6 W (0.27 A, 23.7 V)
* at 10:10 MST, the krypton hygrometer was re-deployed (note, according to
the manual the longer tube should be on the TOP, but according to CHATS photos I
think it's the other way around? And I think I had it the other way around for
the previous deployment)....

Thursday, July 18th, 2013 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB, RM, DM, +
Purpose of visit: MRS Flux class tower visit
Weather: It was clear in the morning and then just as the tower
tour started, it dumped rain heavily (with some hail mixed in).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* the network from campus to MRS has been up and down...apparently
this has been due to a virus affecting the networking hardware!
* Campbell Scientific (Larry and Ed) and student teams from the flux
class were setting up instruments right near the trailer at C1.
*
---------
* Span cylinder at ? psi. N2 at ? psi. (didn't check these!)
* There was some clouds building in the morning (and some
lightning/thunder just the north of us)....once we arrived at the
tower and broke into three groups, the rain started and everyone ran
back to C-1 and the trip was cancelled.
* though it rained quite hard the LI-7200 co2 signal seemed to be ok.

Tuesday, July 16th, 2013 Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JVS, K, MW, +
Purpose of visit: LTER site visit, swap inlet on LI-7200.
Weather: some clouds. perfect day!
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* there has been quite a bit of rain recently and the network
to the tower has been up and down...
* the trail has obviously had water running down it (pine needles
moved, etc).
* Wit (Holly grad student) was doing soil respiration measurements near
the N Canopy tower.
* had a short discussion/presentation about the AmeriFlux tower with
the LTER review team (and Mark Williams).
* the flux class had started, saw Dave M., Russ, Ray Leuning, et al.
---------
* Span cylinder at 300 psi. N2 at 1100 psi.
* Ethan, Dave, and Kael were setting up the loggers and power for
the interceptometers (near N canopy tower).
* from 16:30-16:50 MST, replaced 2.5m REBS domes (the upper one was broken).
* from 12:04-13:20 MST, adjusted the heater for the LI-7200 inlet tubing.
* took several screen shots of the LI-7200 settings, etc:

water in the cell...however, on inspection, no obvious water in the
cell or tube, but note that the problem had "fixed itself" by the time
I looked at)

Subject: Re: NEON test deployment with CU
Hi,
a few quick notes:
* cleaned the cell and swapped the inlet
* i raised the li-7200 body by about 1-2 cm so that there is a slight
downward tilt to the inlet tube (to discourage water from running into
the body). it's maxed out and can't go any higher than this.
* left the heater at the same setting and am seeing t.out approx
5 C > t.in
* h2o sig strength at 74, co2 at 56
* everything else looks good/OK on diag page.
* when i dropoff the old inlet at NEON i should get the LI-7500 manual
(forgot this last time) and a few more swabs
* doug, please let me know if you are not going to be in the office
this week...
* I could also use an allen key to fit the bolt that holds the LI-7200
in place...the allen wrenches I have are too small for this bolt.
thanks!

769: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 10-Feb-2014 16:39:07 MST, site visit on Thursday, July 11th, 2013 (SpB)
Thursday, July 11th, 2013 Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB,
Purpose of visit:
Weather: some clouds. pleasant and cool.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* A guy from U of A (forgot his name, but he works with Russ and Dave
Moore) was coring trees west of the tower (I think he said the plan is
to core 400 trees!).
* John Knowles was moving around gas cylinders in the TGA shed.
---------
* Span cylinder at 300 psi. N2 at 1230 psi.
* John Van Stan and Kael (from UW) were
installing/scanning the sensors to measure precip interception near
the N Canopy tower.
* noticed that the upper 2.5m REBS domes was broken (water had gotten in).
* adjusted the heater for the LI-7200 inlet tubing:
Instructions from Stefan Metzger:
Hi Sean;
1. Make sure the voltage dial is at its max, and leave it there;
2. Dial in 0.24 A using the current dial, and the volts should automatically rise to about 21 V;
3. Else, continue to modify the current dial until you reach amperes x volts = 5 W.
Thanks! S.
-- at 10:54 MST, turned on heater Amps = 0.21, V= 18.1 (didn't change any settings)
-- at 11:10 MST, checked reading, A=0.21, V=18.3 (still didn't change settings)
-- at 12:38 MST, changed A=0.24 and V=21.0 V (note, when I increased the amps, V also increased)
* here is the updated schedule for the LI-7200:

Subject: RE: NEON test deployment with CU
The schedules match perfectly! Here (and attached) our preferences:
- July 11, Sean enables LI-7200 intake tube heating (5 W: 0.24 A @ 21 V);
- July 16 (or approximately five days after enabling intake tube heating),
* Sean replaces rain cup/filter/tube combination and returns
used rain cup/filter combination to NEON within 1 week for
cleaning through Ted and Doug;
* Sean changes LI-7200 intake tube heating (6 W: 0.27 A @ 23.7 V);
- July 23 (or approximately five days after last intake tube heating change),
* Sean disables LI-7200 intake tube heating;
- July 29, end of IOP;
Later! S.
---------------------------------------
* from around 11:50-12:25 MST, adjusted LI-6251 and swapped dessicant tube. The
flow was restricted, but the micropump appears to be ok (and is working fine).
There will be a big change in the calibration values for the period with the
constriction....

Monday, July 1st, 2013 Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB, PB, SM
Purpose of visit: install LI-7200
Weather: There was a constant threat of rain, but it never happened (lucky for us).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up Stefan Van.
* A moose greeted us at the trailer.
*
---------
* Span cylinder at XX psi. N2 at XX psi.
* this was a last-minute visit to re-install the LI-7200 (after
getting approval by the lawyers). We met at NEON and Stefan drove
up with all the equipment.
* the installation went ok. we had a few issues with getting the
LI-7200 blower fan working (needed to control it via the software).

Thursday, June 27th, 2013 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: re-install the LI-7500, replace REBs domes.
Weather:
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU suburban (to haul down the cylinders).
* it was quite dry and crispy in the forest.
* John Knowles was at the tower and helped drag the cart with the
N2 cylinder and LI-7500 stuff...
* since I had last been to the site, Max had removed the A/C unit and
replaced the table holding the big pump.
---------
* Span cylinder at 400 psi. N2 at 1600 psi.
* moved 4 N2 cylinders from snowshed to c1 on 6/27/13: cc63143
(ddh568), cc329215 (ddg640), cc176151 (dde388), cc329280 (apx866)
(cc63143 is at the tower, the other three are hidden in woods just
west of trailer)
* moved four near-empty cylinders from C1 back down to snow shed:
eb0034127 N2 at 200 psi
cc267681 N2 at 0 psi
cc76749 N2 at 100 psi
cc240401 co2 in air, 20 psi
(John offerred to have dist services pick these up sometime in the future).
* in the morning I stopped by NEON and picked up the LI-7500 (sn
75h-0084) from Doug Kath to re-install on the tower.
* In the trailer I ran N2 and the WMO-based span gas (at 368.37 ppm)
through the LI-7200. Note, that the serial port on plumwood (my
laptop) was problematic...however, podocarp worked ok (synced time to
MDT before collecting the LI-7500 data)...here are the data and
screenshots:

the logfile.txt does not have absolute time, but shows the start time and "relative" time...here
are my notes:
- at 10:45 MST, ran N2 through the sample cell
- from 10:53-10:55 MST, ran N2 through cell.
(for the last 30 sec, reduced the reg pressure from 20 to 10 psi)
- from 10:56:15--10:58:00 MST, ran co2 span through the cell, last
30 sec at 10 psi, other times at 20 psi.
I saved the updated the LI-7500 configuration file as:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 1919 Jun 27 10:24 li7500_12m_sn75h-0084_130627_Configuration.l75*
* from 12:30-14:00 MST, reinstalled LI-7500 (at 21.5m)
- this was time-consuming because I had to re-route all the cables
for the control box and power supply from 12.5m up to 21.5m.
- did NOT have time to extend the boom for the LI-7500 out to the
head of the CSAT so it is currently collecting data close to the
tower (see photos).
* attached the LI-7200 bracket from NEON to the CSAT3 boom. It seems
to work fine (need to check with Ted about my use of the shim). I
hope the bottom plate is sturdy enough to hold the LI-7200 in place
because it's only held in place with two bolts (it's not a light
instrument).
* the 2nd-highest inlet for the Picarro system has a broken hose clamp.
(I sent max an email about this).
* from 15:30-16:10 MST, replaced domes on REBS 25.5m Rnet sensor
* at 16:30 MST, removed the krypton hygrometer (it needs re-doing)
* logger data (didn't download yet!):
* note: the cronjob to copy the images from the forestcam is working! it's:

Subject: Re: FW: FW: NEON test deployment with CU
Hi All,
Here's a brief summary of yesterday:
* before putting the LI-7500 on the tower, I checked it in our trailer
at C1 by running N2 and a span gas (368.37 ppm) through the sample
cell (using the sleeve insert provided by LI-COR).
photo of the setup:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/130627/pic00001.jpg
and a screenshot when running N2 through the cell:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/130627/li7500_130627_diag_tab_with_N2.png
you can see the co2 is near zero, but h2o has an offset (typical h2o
values in the atmosphere at our site are 400-500 mmol/m3 in summer and
100-200 mmol/m3 in winter).
the data from my tests are here:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/li7500_sn75h-0084_130627_LogFile.txt
I haven't looked at the data in detail...It would be good to figure
out why there is an offset for h2o (perhaps related to the h2o
reference as Stefan mentions below).
* I installed the bracket for the LI-7200 on the CSAT3 boom. Ted, I used
the small metal shim as shownn in the following photo:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/130627/pic00010.jpg
with the shim, the bolt squeeze the bracket in place and it feels like
a very solid connection (ie, will not move). my only suggestion with
the bracket would be to have a solid angle section at the bottom of
the bracket (rather than the two bolts holding that bottom piece in
place)....a photo showing the bottom piece:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/130627/pic00009.jpg
For summer this is fine (light winds), but, for a long-term deployment
through the winter I would feel better with a solid angle there (since
bolts can come loose)...maybe there is a good reason to use bolts that
I have not thought of (probably easier to construct)...other than
that, this bracket is awesome!
* I installed the LI-7500 at 21.5m, but didn't have time to extend the
boom and have it co-located with the CSAT3 (I figure without the
LI-7200 there, this is not critical). Here's a photo of how I left
it:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/130627/pic00024.jpg
I'll be available on Monday afternoon after about 12:30 to go to Niwot
and do the installation of the LI-7200 (assuming the paperwork can get
signed in the morning). I can also go up later in the afternoon on
Monday and stay up there until dark (or however long it takes)...
thanks!
SpB.

At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: swap N2 cylinder, check on LI-7200
Weather:
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Prius.
* the road to C1 is now open (and fairly dry).
*
---------
* Span cylinder at 730 psi. N2 at 890 psi.
* snow depths (taken from top of tape!)
closest to tree = top
TP101 461 middle probe = cm
farthest probe = cm
* from 9:30-10:00 MST, updated LI-7200 firmware from ver 6.5.0 to ver
6.5.2 no change to FGPA (v6.0.1)
* found the black box the LI-7200 was in and didn't find any spare
thermocouples...on reflection, when I borrowed the LI-7200 from NEON
there was also no spare usb drive (I picked that up later from
Hongyan) and/or swabs. Here is a photo of the LI-7200 stuff when I
transported it to the tower:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/110910/pic00001.jpg
* from approx 14:00-15:00 MST, removed LI-7200 body from the tower and
replaced the broken T.in thermocouple. (also, blew air into the
cell and wiped down the lens, etc). Note: I have the can of
compressed air and extra thermocople to return to NEON.
Note: I did not have time (and/or equipment?) to do the pressure
check that is described in the LI-7200 manual...
* screenshots of the LI-7200 settings, etc:
LI-7200 variables currently being saved:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/130604/li7200_settings_130604.png
note, I am not saving "diagnostic value 2" and/or the signal strength variables...need to add

* measured the boom for the LI-7200 CSAT: 4.5cm x 4.5cm (square)
* I had some difficulty with the connector for the temperature sensors
to the LI-7200 body (this is the connector just above the pressure
port). I think I was hurrying to get off the tower (black clouds were
forming)...and didn't have the connector aligned correctly when I
first tried to connect it...the plastic slot got a bit messed
up...after some careful work re-aligning the pins, was finally able to
get it to go back in (and the weather cooperated). Temperature data
seem ok, but this cable might need to be checked/replaced!

Subject: Ice Dam (or Damn Ice?)....
Hi,
some of you might have noticed that there is a bit of an ice dam under
the como creek bridge on the way to the AmeriFlux tower, ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/130521/pic00026.jpg
yesterday, I used a mattock to try and break up the ice a bit, ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/130521/pic00027.jpg
It was a bit awkward with a mattock and maybe a rock bar would work
better (btw, in my quick search at the tower I didn't find the rock
bar that used to be kept there?)...I also cleared out some of the
snow/ice on top of the bridge (with the hope that this would allow the
sun to heat the bridge and melt the ice from above)...the ice was
about 4-5" thick on top of the bridge...
In my years working at the tower this has never happened before (or at
least I have never noticed it)....I'm not sure what else to do, but
hopefully the ice will melt out before the water starts flowing too
much...
The bridge might be due for some maintenance work this summer...maybe
something as simple as replacing the long planks that run the length
of it...

Subject: Re: Increase in power use at transformer to tower
Hi All,
A follow-up to the question about power usage at the AmeriFlux
tower...last Saturday I measured the power being used on each circuit.
Here is what I found:
Overall Usage is about 13 amps, this is very similar to what we found
last March when the Picarro and big pump were running...one thing I
noticed is that the power usages jumps up to 14-15 amps every 20
seconds and it stays at that level for about 5 seconds...I checked
each of the 4 circuits and found:
Individual Circuits at CU tower:
1. "Outlet Below": 8 amps (then goes up to about 11 amps every 20 sec)
This runs the quacker and network swith in the quacker
box (first goes to the UPS at 1st tower level).
Also, in Fall 2011 added the Picarro system (and pump) to this
circuit.
2. "Bottom Level": 4 amps
This runs the pumps at the bottom of the tower..as well as
the TGA and everything else in the TGA shed.
3. "Middle Level": 2.5 amps (might be lower than this)
This runs the network switch at mid-tower level. Also,
the LI-6251 and LI-6262.
4. "Top Level": 1.5 amps (probably less).
This runs the CSATs, radiation instruments. Also,
added LI-7200 in Fall 2011.
At the tower, the voltage was approx 119 VAC.
When I unplugged the Picarro (and pump) from the "outlet below", this
dropped the power draw from 8 amps to about 0.5 amps. I then moved
the quacker (ie, laptop that runs the data system and other stuff) off
the "outlet below" circuit and now this circuit is exclusively for the
Picarro system. After plugging the Picarro system back in, there is a
delay with the Picarro pump, but this ciruit was still drawing 1.5
amps...which would go up to 4 amps every 20 seconds. So, I'm guessing
this is due to valves switching (Max would know more)...after the pump
kicked back on, this circuit was drawing about 7 amps and then would
jump to around 11 amps every 20 sec. Here is a photo of the "outlet
below" (which is also a gfi outlet):
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/130119/pic00011.jpg
Anyway, the bottom line here is that adding the Picarro system
(including this pump) adds about 7-8 amps to the power usage (with
jumps to higher usage every 20 seconds)...everything else at the tower
uses about 8-9 amps. So, our power usage should have nearly doubled
starting around Nov 2011 when the picarro was added (with a few
periods when it was off-line).
One other thought: the USGS tower uses the same power line as us..so
if there was something drawing increased power at USGS that might
explain a dramatic increase in the site power usage...I'm cc'ing Dean
Anderson from USGS in case he wants to check or add anything...
Jen or Steve, how big of an increase do you see in the meter readings?
Also, Max can correct any mistakes I've made in my understanding of
the Picarro setup...I didn't completely follow all the extention cords
into his shed...
thanks!

--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* Obama is re-elected president!
* there was a strange sound south of the site...i think maybe
it was coyotes? Duane thought it sounded like a turkey. Also,
gunshots on the hike back to MRS...

---------
* Span cylinder at 200 psi. N2 at 120 psi --> 2020 psi.
* from 14:00-15:00 MST, swapped N2 cylinder; old=cc76749 new=cc267681
* snow depths (taken from bottom of tape!, need to determine new
measurement depths!):
closest to tree = 3 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 5 cm
farthest probe = 0 cm
* having some problems with the PC card for the MRC snow probes. (Jen
let me borrow the card reader, but I think I brought the wrong card
back to the trailer!)...also, was checking for lights when I insert
the card...it didn't seem to work every time so perhaps need to make
sure it is inserted correctly...note, the serial port in the dell
laptop (podocarp?) has a problem with the pins getting pushed in...
* removed a bunch of variables from the LI-7200 data file:
-- here are screenshots of the LI-7200 settings:

-- George Burba suggested:
I would keep these if you use flow module:
% 29 Flow Rate (lpm) -- probably don't need
% 31 Flow Power (V) -- probably don't need
I do not think this is removable, this is checksum to make sure half-hour has 1800 10 Hz data points in it, etc.
% 37 CHK -- varies between 0-255....what is this? (probably ok to remove).
* tried to get the ATI working again (opened the box and checked the
connections), but it is still broken?...in the past, checking the
loose connections has fixed it...
* moved the LI-7200 body up about 10cm so that there is a slight
downward tilt in the sample line (so any condensation/water will
flow down the inlet tubing)...
* started ucb_17.csi. Removed the handar probe (it has not been
working) and used diff chan 9 to add one more thermocouple. This
thermocouple is setup BELOW the LI-7500...note that the shaft of the
TC is zip-tied to the body of the LI-7500...this could generate some
heat which conducts to the TC wires...if this creates a problem, this
setup could be changed later...in the data system this is "Ttc.4".

Wednesday, October 31st, 2012 Visit:
------------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: clean the LI-7200, setup a few more thermocouples.
Weather: warm, sunny, calm. Could not ask for better weather for the
last day of October. 3-5" of Wet, melting snow on the ground.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* forgot my boots! had to make do with my keens, plastic bags,
and gaitors.
* John Knowles was moving cylinders from C1 to the tower
(he was using the new ATV)
* bought more zip ties, allen wrench, and a few other misc
items.
* saw some more scat (lion?) on road to C1...also, some tracks
on path to tower with a gait about as large as my arm....
---------
* Span cylinder at 250 psi. N2 at 400 psi.
* snow depths (taken from bottom of tape!, need to determine new
measurement depths!):
closest to tree = 5 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 11 cm
farthest probe = 13 cm
* from 11:35-12:45 MST, did maintenance on the LI-7200 (cleaned cell,
replaced dessicant/scrubber bottles).
-- picked up the scrubber bottles and Ascarite II from NEON...I had
MgClO4 which I used to fill the bottles....cleaning out the old
bottles was a bit messy (did this in the trailer)...
-- the instructions with the LI-7200 are fairly straight-forward
..note the AGC value was quite high (above 80)...once I opened
the cell I could see why--the lenses and optical cell were very
dirty. It seemed like it was mostly pollen. After the cleaning,
the AGC was closer to 60.
-- there was a small vial of vinegar in the shed (from Max?)...I
used this to clean the lenses and cell (note, could not find my
bottle of d-i water?). Need to refill and leave in shed.
-- the old scrubber bottles actually looked to be in good shape.
The one at the top of the LI-7200 looked more used than the other
two.
-- need to pay closer attention to the AGC!! Cleaning is easy and
the LI-7200 is awesome to work with and clean!
-- Also, when I reinstalled the LI-7200 inlet I moved it closer to
the CSAT transducers. Also, checked the filter screens at the
inlet and at the pump and they seemed ok...didn't do anything to
them.
-- did screen shots (note, use PRNT-SCREEN to take and CTRL-V to
paste into paint). These are are on russter2 as:

* added two more thermocouples to the ucb logger..these
are co-located with the 2.5m CSAT and LI-7500.
-------------------------------------------------
* updated the ucb logger to output data from two new thermocouples:
> ; ucb_16.csi, added two new thermocopules (near li-7500).
> ; also changed se channel for cs616 probe.
> ; 31 oct 2012. spb.
> ;
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 8474 Oct 31 14:58 ucb_16.csi*
* I had to fiddle around a bit to make room for the new
thermocouples...I moved the CS616 probe from SE chan 23 to SE chan 6,:
< 2: 23 SE Channel
---
> 2: 6 SE Channel
then the three thermocouples (two new ones) were on diff chans 10-12, ie:
14: Thermocouple Temp (DIFF) (P14)
1: 3 Reps
2: 20 Auto, 60 Hz Reject, Slow Range (OS>1.06)
3: 10 DIFF Channel
4: 2 Type E (Chromel-Constantan)
5: 22 Ref Temp (Deg. C) Loc [ PanelTemp ]
6: 28 Loc [ TC1_1 ]
7: 1.0 Mult
8: 0.0 Offset
* new thermocouple details:
TC1_1 (Ttc.20cm): approx 20cm behind CSAT transducers, not moved from where it has been
TC1_2 (Ttc.2) : near path of LI-7500, 33cm behind CSAT3 transducers
TC1_3 (Ttc.3) : located 2cm behind CSAT3 transducers (use this for flux!)

---------
* Span cylinder at 350 psi. N2 at 850 psi.
* at 7:57 MST, shutdown russter2 and brought it back to campus.
UnixOPS replaced the hard drive (this time, I bought a new hard drive
rather than using a re-furbished one). At 13:17 MST, rebooted
russter2 with the new hard drive. Data system didn't come up right
away, but it did eventually (after doing, 'ndaqrestart quacker').
Note: the old hard drive is sitting in a box on top of russter2.
* moved 4 new N2 cylinders to tower/trailer:
cc267681 N2 tower/base moved to tower 10/16/12, moved to trailer 10/16/12
cc142673 N2 trlr/inside moved to trailer 10/16/12
cc176525 N2 trlr/inside moved to trailer 10/16/12
eb0034127 N2 trlr/inside moved to trailer 10/16/12
* brought 8 cylinders back to MRS, here is a summary:

Hi John,
I put a total of eight cylinders in the snowmobile shed...they are all
on the wall right next to the liquid N2 tanks. Here is a summary:
AmeriFlux cylinders:
--------------------
cc329215 N2 < 20 psi
cc301525 N2 < 20 psi
cc180691 N2 < 20 psi
SG91667447BAL co2 in air approx 100 psi
cc140852 co2 in air approx 200 psi
Knowles Cylinders:
------------------
cc325495 5% co2
cc262422 5% co2
cc262316 N2
I didn't have a pickup form...could you fill out the form and make the
call to have them picked up? If not, then I'll do this next time I go
to the site (maybe next week, depending on the weather). . .
can't reach the tower right now...not surprising with this wind...
SpB.

* the soil logger battery voltage has been rather high for the past
month or so (around 14.8)...replaced it with a spare battery in the
trailer (a smaller one)...the old soil logger battery is in the
bowling shack. Did NOT replace the trickle charger (need to check
data on next visit). Typical voltage should be around 12.8 volts.

Purpose of visit: help Jielun gather tubing (check old sites), meet
with Max to discuss the new shed.
Weather: It was sunny. Very hazy/smoky down on the plains. It
was a bit breezy at times, but nothing too serious. Fall colors
(aspens) are probably at a peak right now...
--------- Misc Notes:

Guoyin Wang.
* Max and David Noone were finishing the new shed for the picarro.
---------
* Span cylinder at 550 psi. N2 at 1600 psi.
* we searched for tubing at all the old sites (near Pine from CME04,
near como creek for CME07, and the main tower for NIWOT02). There was
not much tubing at any of these locations. We collected all the
synflex tubing that was just off the trail on the way to the
tower...this tubing filled Jielun's vehicle (so Max gave Mireia, Lisa,
and Guoyin a ride back to NCAR).
* at 12:49 MST, adjusted cal flows in LI-6262 system
* at approx 13:30 MST, swiped krypton hygrometer

----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: fix LI-6251 micropump, get logger data.
Weather: very calm. it was hazy/smokey (supposedly from
the fires in california and the NW). it started raining
as I was leaving (around 2pm)...
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Prius.
*
---------
* Span cylinder at 800 psi. N2 at 500 psi.
* from 10:30-13:00 MST, replaced micro-pump in prof system (li-6251)
[Only zero gas connected!]. Note, the pump initiall did not work
(using the AMP connector)...as I was investigating, one of the wires
to power the pump was actually loose...and as I was checking the
voltage of these wires it touched the back (metal) panel and sent up
quite a spark...
* at 11:44 MST, changed span/n2 flow in LI-6262.
* at 12:15 MST, re-started ati k-probe (will it work?). this time I
opened the box and tried to improve the connection of the grounding
wire...
* also double-checked the connections of the 2m T/RH sensor (at the
met logger). (this didn't seem to fix anything)...the sensor
probably needs to be replaced...T is also flaky (but not as bad a
RH)...

Hi Max,
next time I'm up here I think I'll move you off the gfi outlet at the
base of the tower...if that gfi pops it causes the laptop at the base
of the tower to crash (losing all the hi-rate tower data), someone
needs to come up here to reset the gfi, etc...
...we can run an extention cord from one of the upper power outlet on
the tower and then you can run the picarro off of that...
thanks,
SpB.

Friday, July 27th, 2012 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: swap out the EOL CSAT with the Blanken CSAT.
Weather: Very odd. Sunny in the morning, then a big storm (and power
outage), then clear and sunny again. Storms in the area and lightning
visible from the tower. It's been a very wet/stormy July.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep
* Allison and a helper from Utah were doing some things at the
site (one of which was trying to diagnose the network problem
to the Beatle shed)...
* grabbed Peters CSAT 0254 from Christol 222 and brought it up to the
site.
* a big (healthy?) black bear ran across road below MRS...
---------
* Span cylinder at 950 psi. N2 at 910 psi.
* the power went out while I was walking from C1 out to the tower
(stopped to talk to Allison and the power was out there).
* when I arrived, the picarro pump was still running...and then I
realized that's because it's on the UPS....before I could do much,
the pump stopped...
* while power was out I swapped CSATs, from 11:30-12:30 MST, swapped
EOL CSAT sn 0674 (ver 3) with Blanken CSAT sn 0254 (ver 4).
Returned CSAT 0674 to EOL and Chris dumped the following info for me:

* Back-UPS 650 kept beeping after power came back on...not sure why,
but that battery has not been replaced since 2007, so it's probably
time to replace it (note: ordered RBC4 replacement on 8/1/12). Based
on the quacker logs the power kept going on/off to the quacker, ie:

* sometime since the last visit the micropump for the LI-6251 stopped
working...need to check data for exact date...pulled out the old pump,
but didn't replace (could smell something was burned). capped the
span and n2 flows through the LI-6251 system to try and save gas..THEN
I realized that the N2 in the LI6262 ref cell first passes through the
LI-6251 ref cell...so had to re-arrange where I capped the flows...
* at 16:15 MST, slightly decreased N2/span flow in li-6262
* Note: Back-UPS 650 battery acted strange after power came back on
* RH from 2m T/RH sensor still not working

-------------------------------
At the site: SpB, KB
Purpose of visit: get logger data, meet Max, change span
Weather: A Mix of snow, wind, calm, sun...the trail to the tower is
still firm and solid. But, the ground is starting to appear in many
spots. There was a slight dusting of snow in the morning. Como creek
is flowing.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* Kyle Becker (high school student in Boulder) was up at the site to
collect LAI measurements.
* The snow is pretty much GONE!...I completely missed the melt
period...there are a still a few spots with snow remnants...but the
trails are fairly dry and como creek is not too high.
* the Aspens at C1 are just starting to break bud....the ones lower
down have already leafed out (even as close as the top of the power
line).
* Barker Res was not going over the spillway on my way up, but was on
my way back down...
---------
* Span cylinder at 1600 psi. N2 at 800 psi.
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 00 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 00 cm
farthest probe = 00 cm
* Kyle Becker collected the LAI-2000 measurements at the site
* LAI files are:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 1700 May 17 12:24 LAI_clear_120517.txt*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 1698 May 17 13:44 LAI_cloudy_120517.txt*
* checked the location of the undersnow thermocouples (near the snow
temp probes)...for the distances north of the "tree" snowtemp probe I
found:
TC profile 1 = 45 cm
TC profile 2 = 115 cm
snow probe (Mid) = 150 cm
TC profile 3 = 150 + 65 = 215 cm
snow probe (Far) = 150 + 122 = 272 cm
The "tree snow temp probe" is 65cm from one tree and 82 cm from a 2nd
tree....
* from approx 13:02 - 13:20 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
- at 13:02 MST, did zero, co2 approx 0.006 mV
- at 13:18 MST, did zero + blow test (ok).
(zero is approx 0.008 mV).
- at 13:20 MST, back to auto mode. flow rate at ~14.
* disconnected Noahs logger
* re-connected the CR1000 (Brent/Dustin).
* disconnected MRS cr10 logger (I think?). Also, dumped water out of
this box....
* downloaded logger data (and reset logger clocks):

A few notes about the LI-7200:
on 4/25/12 at 15:25 MST --- changed LI-7200 "bandwidth" from 20 Hz to 5 Hz
(this is under "Outputs" --> "Setup")
also, updated the DAC output for
OLD: DAC1 co2 dry (umol/mol) 0V = 330.00 5V=430
NEW: DAC1 co2 dry (umol/mol) 0V = 360.00 5V=450
on 4/3/12 --- changed LI-7200 sample rate from 20-Hz back to 10-Hz.
noted a few questions in the "outputs" options:
1. the "bandwidth" is set to 20-Hz.
2. the "Delay time(ms)" is set with an interval of "12"...
for DAC this a delay = 172 + 12*6.667 = 252 ms.
for SDM/RS232/Ethernet the delay = 130 + 12*6.667 = 210.0 ms
3. under DACs it's DAC1 co2 dry (umol/mol) 0V = 330.00 5V=430
(note, I need to CHANGE this sometime soon..current co2 is around 410 umol/mol)
DAC2 h2o dry (mmol/mol) 0V = 0 5V= 30 mmol/mol
(current is 290 mmol/m3)....need to convert to mmol/mol.

Thursday, March 29th, 2012 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: check cals of LI-6262 + N2 cyl.
Weather: warm, sunny, calm. Almost no snow along power line. All
exposed areas are snow-free. (extremely dry March..maybe only a trace
of precip?)...
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Prius.
* saw a few clouds of gnats or mosquitos....
---------
* Span cylinder at 400 psi. N2 at 400 psi.
* snow depths (BIG change over the past two weeks):
closest to tree = 51 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 66 cm
farthest probe = 68 cm
* I think maybe the inlet tubes for the LI-6262 N2/span cal
gas have been swapped from last Dec...it was not clear to me,
but I fiddled with it so it's working as it was previously
(at least using the manual toggles it works fine).
* used the extra scott-marrin cylinder to test each of these two line
for leaks (connected to the tubing at a tee near the prof box)...both
lines seemed to hold pressure without leaking.
* borrowed the clamp-on amp meter from Kurt Knudsen to check each
ciruit at the tower:
Overall Usage: approx 13 amps
(note: this is consistent with what Rainbow/Dave found, but
doesn't include USGS)
Individual Circuits at CU tower:
1. "Outlet Below": 8.5 amps
This runs the quacker and network swith in the quacker
box (first goes to the UPS at 1st tower level).
Also, in Fall 2011 added the Picarro system to this
circuit.
2. "Bottom Level": 3-4 amps
This runs the pumps at the bottom of the tower..as well as
the TGA and everything else in the TGA shed.
3. "Middle Level": 2-3 amps (might be lower than this)
This runs the network switch at mid-tower level. Also,
the LI-6251 and LI-6262.
4. "Top Level": 2-3 amps (probably less).
This runs the CSATs, radiation instruments. Also,
added LI-7200 in Fall 2011.

Purpose of visit: get logger data. swap prof pump.
Weather: warm, sunny, calm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Prius.
---------
* Span cylinder at 400 psi. N2 at 400 psi.
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 73 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 91 cm
farthest probe = 100 cm
* from approx 14:18-15:12 MST, Changed profiler (li-6251) micropump
(KNI unmp30)...note, I found the extra refurbished pump in the
trailer (and used that)...it had the holes tapped so I could put
it in the prof box....there is also a NEW pump...I was going to set
this up in the external grey box...but never needed to do it.
The grey box and new micropump are both in the trailer.
* from 15:29-15:33 MST, swiped the Krypton Hyg.
* at 15:45 MST, exhaled near LI-6262 inlet (as a leak check)
[this seemed to work fine...it caused the co2 signal to clip
and go WAY off-scale...interestingly, it also appeared to affect
other measurements with the fast logger (not sure why that would
happen?!?)...
* when max installed the picarro inlets they cable-tied and
hose-clamped EVERYTHING to the tower...I was worried they had
crushed/damaged the flux inlet tubing...and in a few spots it looks
a bit dented (from what I could tell it's ok). Also, they put
zip-ties approx every 10 cm. So, to remove anything is a royal
pain...

Subject: Tree at AmeriFlux tower...
Hi,
fyi---I took a closer look at the tree which fell near the ameriflux
tower...and I noticed it is actually leaning on one of the guy
wires...the tower does not seem to be affected at all and the guy wire
was tight, but not overly-tight (from what I could tell)...
here are a few photos:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/111124/pic00019.jpg
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/111124/pic00018.jpg
the tree didn't snap off, but instead it tipped over with the roots
still partially in the ground, ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/111115/pic00014.jpg
it's only the top 1-2' that are on the guy wire...I was a bit wary to
cut the tree without ropes and/or other support because I didn't want
it to swing down and hit the guy wire below it...it might also come
close to the fence around the tower (or possibly the laser
shed)....
my question: is there a procedure which needs to be followed or should
we just set a day to do this? John, which saw did you use for the
tree along the trail? (there is small hand saw in the laser shed, but
it would be nice to have a bigger/better one)..

* NOTE: No longer doing cals with LI-6262
* messed around with trying to find a leak in the N2 line...it
definitely seemed to run out before it should have. in the end I
capped the calibration gases (both N2 and span) from going up to the
LI-6262 box. [note, this worked without any leaks]. Need to test the
individual lines going into the LI-6262 and make sure the valves are
still holding pressure...

there was a MISTAKE in chan201 for ops58.
-------------------------------------------------
* list of stuff modified/damaged by wind:
- some trees down along trail to tower. One (probably 1-2'
diameter?) is blocking the trail. John Knowles said this tree was
across the trail on 11/8 and probably fell the previous weekend
(Nov 5-6). It had snapped off about 3 feet from the ground.
- a tree near the base of the western guy wire support fell
over...if it had fallen all the way, it might have fallen between
the fence and laser shed, but a few trees blocked it.
- the 21.5m csat had slid along the tower tubing at the west end so
it was pushed near the krypton...I moved it back to the original
location (marked on the tower strut by black sharpie). the back
support held fast.
- One of the 16m prop-vane boom supports broke...the boom was wedged
at an angle near 16-m the level. the other support (east side)
was still holding it to the tower. replaced back support with a
u-bolt (much more solid than the old support). Note: should check
how the top-level prop-vane is supported...
- top prof inlet had come free and was dangling about two levels
down. it had become tangled in the thermocouple wire (note, i
never cleaned up that thermocouple wire!)...i had to shorten the
dekaron tubing by about 2m so the upper inlet is now at 19m (not
21m).
- rain gauge "bucket" had come loose. the screws holding it were
gone. I kluged support with a bungee cord and duct tape (note:
need to bring small machine screws from trailer to the tower)...
- canopy access tower along trail is leaning against a pair of
trees.

725: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 10-Oct-2012 16:50:43 MDT, site visit on Friday, November 4th, 2011 (SpB, DS)
Friday, November 4th, 2011 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB, DS
Purpose of visit: add new thumb drive to LI-7200, deploy
cnr4, get logger data.
Weather: fairly windy. not too cold.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU prius
*
---------
* Span cylinder at XXX psi. N2 at ? psi.
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 21 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 32 cm
farthest probe = 32 cm
* notes about the installation about the cnr2 net radiometer:
* serial no. 080146 sensitivity: shortwave: 15.32 muV/(W/m2)
longwave: 11.61 muV/(W/m2)
* to make sure the values were properly digested by the quacker
I added a gain factor of "100"...eg,
s_Rsw_net_cnr2_raw= s_Rsw_net_cnr2; clear s_Rsw_net_cnr2
s_Rlw_net_cnr2_raw= s_Rlw_net_cnr2; clear s_Rlw_net_cnr2
s_Rsw_net_cnr2_mV= s_Rsw_net_cnr2_raw./100;
s_Rlw_net_cnr2_mV= s_Rlw_net_cnr2_raw./100;
then, convert to physical units, ie:
s_Rsw_net_cnr2= (1000./15.32).*s_Rsw_net_cnr2_mV;
s_Rlw_net_cnr2= (1000./11.61).*s_Rlw_net_cnr2_mV;
* started ingesting LI-7200 data into the FAST data logger...the
DAC settings in the LI-7220 are:
co2 dry (umol/mol) = [330 430]
h2o dry (mmol/mol) = [0 30];
to get these into physical units:
s_co2_li7200_mV= s_co2_li7200; clear s_co2_li7200;
s_h2o_li7200_mV= s_h2o_li7200; clear s_h2o_li7200;
co2_low=330; co2_high=430; R=5000;
s_co2_li7200=(co2_high-co2_low)./R.*s_co2_li7200_mV + co2_low;
h2o_low=0; h2o_high=30; R=5000;
s_h2o_li7200=(h2o_high-h2o_low)./R.*s_h2o_li7200_mV + h2o_low;
* modified UCB and "FAST" logger programs...(the fast logger is
actually running at 5 Hz!! (didn't notice this until after I
left))...ugh!

pressure, changed li-7200 from diff to SE channels) because t.ec was
spiking a lot...not sure what caused the problem, but the program is
actually SLOWER now....
* added the cnr2 net radiation sensor to the UCB logger.

Hi Sean,
ptpd is running on both russter2 and lynette, and they both seem to
be sending data to an IP address hardcoded in the binary. Here is some
interface capture output from russter2:
14:50:09.391558 IP russter2.colorado.edu.319 > ptp-primary.mcast.net.319: UDP, length 124
14:50:11.391696 IP russter2.colorado.edu.319 > ptp-primary.mcast.net.319: UDP, length 124
14:50:13.390832 IP russter2.colorado.edu.319 > ptp-primary.mcast.net.319: UDP, length 124
14:50:13.392006 IP lynette.colorado.edu.319 > ptp-primary.mcast.net.319: UDP, length 124
I've restarted ptpd on russter2 with a PTP subdomain set to 'russter',
starting ptpd on lynette with the same option should allow these two
machines to talk directly instead of trying to sync with this remote
server.
Here is the full command used to start ptpd on russter2:
ptpd -t -s 1 -i NTP -b eth0 -p -S -n russter
Running /usr/local/ptpd/bin/ptpd --help will briefly explain what these
options are, and unfortunately this is the best resource for documentation
apart from digging in the source. I also found this page useful:
http://www.nist.gov/el/isd/ieee/terms1588.cfm
I hope this helps,
Eric

how to reset the LI-7200 remotely:
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2011 11:28:21 CDT
To: Kevin Ediger ,
Sean Burns
From: Michael Velgersdyk
Subject: RE: LI-COR PTPd clock setup
Hi Sean.
To reboot the system remotely you need to send the following command to the instrument:
(LI7200(Program(Reset TRUE)))
You can do this by connecting to the instrument with the Windows
interface application, select settings and click the manual tab.
Here you are presented with a dialog to enter commands. Paste the
command and press "Send Command".
[cid:image003.jpg@01CC8CBF.E06D1870]
Alternately, you can connect to the instrument on port 7200 and send the same command followed by a newline character.

Friday, September 23rd, 2011 Visit:
-------------------------------------
At the site: SpB, NT, B, CG, +
Purpose of visit: move li-7200 to 21.5m, be on-site for
power shutdown.
Weather: Beautiful Fall day. The aspens are in full
color...
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up my jeep.
* John Layden was there with a small crew to add the power splice out
to the new shed...
* Chris gray came up and cleaned up the area around the Bowling shed.
...(we decided to lay the tubing in a line near the trail)...
* Ben/Nicole trenched conduit across trail and ran it out to the
new shed...
---------
* Span cylinder at 400 psi. N2 at 400 psi.
* the power outage was from approx 9:20-11:00 MDT....
* bought a few nu-rail crosses to install the LI-7200 on the tower
(though the inlet is long enough that it doesn't need to go out too
far...which is good because the LI-7200 is not light!)...what worked
was the 1" x 1" cross...and the post fit in the 3/4" cross (which
surprised me a bit after reading the LI-COR documentation)...
* downloaded the li-7200 data from my thumb drive...and installed
the new thumb drive (that is empty).
* changed the clock setting from MDT to UTC...also corrected for the
big offset....it was in "automatic" mode, but the PTP did not seem to
be working (it was off by approx 20 minutes)...
* moved the LI-7200 up to 21.5m, but didn't have time to move the boxes
and run the longer network cable...

Saturday, September 10th, 2011 Visit:
-------------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, install li-7200,
clean shed.
Weather: pretty nice fall day (some threat of rain, but then
clear, sunny and calm).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up my jeep.
* setup the li-7200 borrowed from neon, inc. picked this up after
work on friday....
* finally found the new shed made by nicole and the doe team. also
saw the tubing that needs to be cleaned up near that area (email with
Chris Gray about this)...
---------
* Span cylinder at 500 psi. N2 at 700 psi.
* details about the LI-7200 (sn AIU-0366) installation (wanted to put
it at 21.5m, but instead it's at approx 13m):
- didn't have any nu-rail crosses to mount the LI-7200 (thought I
could get this at McGuckins, but they didn't have it)...also,
thought one might be at the site (it wasn't). the li-7200 was
heavier than I expected so I mounted it on the tower stairs and
supported the inlet with the tower tubing....
- mounting hardware to mount vertically was too small (tubing too
big) so the boxes are all laying on the walkup tower. note that
andrew had a similar problem with LI-7500 so he drilled new holes
in the mounting brackets....see:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/110910/pic00015.jpg
(check with NEON it it's ok to drill holes in these brackets, also,
I only have one set of brackets).
- disconnected the rs232 and "aux input" cables from the LI-7550
control box (these are in the cardboard box from neon). note the
"aux input" cable does not seem quite finished (ie, the heat
shrink is not shrunk?)...see photo.
- there was no usb drive with the LI-7200 (surprise!...so I used my
own, dumped files off my usb onto plumwood)....this seemed to work.
- need a longer network cable to reach the tower network switch (also
bring a network rj45 "coupler" and longer cable...).
- worked with DHCP, but setup with a spare fixed IP
(lynette.colorado.edu), was able to ftp files back to plumwood
(need windows software, is there a way to do this with ftp?)....
- still need to ground the boxes....
- using the windows setup, changed logging rate to 20-hz...then
thought it would be better to have it at 10-hz (for initial
testing)...currently sampling all possible variables (some of
these can be reduced later)...also reduced the flow rate in the
li7200-101 flow module from 18 lpm to 15 lpm (the pump sounded
much happier)...i think the time is currently set to MDT...should
change to UTC...the current settings are saved as:

Subject: new shed power
Hi all,
I have received a quote from Rainbow Electric regarding
providing power to the new shed for our DOE project. To
remind you, this shed will be located ~200 m east of the CU
tower in the center of the girdling chronosequence. This
will be tapped off the existing powerline to the tower near
the right-angle bend in the trail. The conductor will be
housed in conduit and the length of run to the new shed will
be < 300 feet.
Rainbow tells me that the feed from the main at the road can
supply 64 A at 120 VAC to all operations (C1-CUFF-trailer,
CU flux tower, USGS tower, my TDL shed, the new shed, and
any other add-on projects that happen). Current use for
everything connected (C1-CUFF-trailer, CU flux tower, USGS
tower, my TDL shed) is 14 A. Hence there is ample power
available to supply the new shed. None of the decisions
below impact availability of power to supply current needs
(you don't need to worry about your supply, what I am adding
is trivial compared to the excess we have available). You
will all be given adequate advance knowledge of power
interruption when this is installed. John Laydon estimates
all power to tower operations will be shut down for <1/2 day.
A decision needs to be made regarding conductor diameter,
keeping in mind any future expansion that might occur in the
vicinity of the girdling plots. We can wire this up with #4
AWG wire, which would ultimately allow (but not require) the
full 64 A to be used at the new location. This could
potentially provide, for example, power to add anything else
that you might think up for any MRS project (even power
hungry projects like heat lamps).
Alternatively, we can do this with #8 AWG. The latter is a
several hundred dollars cheaper and provides all the power I
need (a 20 A circuit, likely I will use 5 A or so). I
prefer to go with this cheaper option but since several of
you are in this for the long term, I wanted to get your
opinions.
The full quotes are $7127 and $6754. Russ, we have $5000
budgeted for this. CU Fac Man is involved and will be
taking their (extremely vague) skim off the top. John
Laydon assures me that we can stay under the $5000 budget if
we provide student labor (Nicole's crew) to haul and screw
together the conduit and use the existing (extra)
transformer at the tower (Sean, it turns out this is useful).
I will proceed with installation of #8 wire unless I hear
otherwise. Please provide your comments by *Aug 12* as we
want to have this done by Oct 1 and I expect the
full-runaround from Fac Man. I'll assume if you don't
respond that you are ok with this plan (although I'd
appreciate hearing that directly instead of guessing).
Russ, I would like to hear from you regardless that it's ok
to proceed since you will sign the check (this is in your
portion of the DOE budget).
Thanks everyone for your help and patience with this.

Thursday, July 21st, 2011 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB, + flux class
Purpose of visit: tour of tower by the NSF flux class.
Weather: Pleasant.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the suburban (and got a flat on the way back down!!)
*
---------
* Span cylinder at 1000 psi. N2 at 590 psi.

Friday, July 15th, 2011 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: swap REBs domes, check forestcam problem. install
MATLAB.
Weather: Hot. there was a steady breeze up on the
tower, but warm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Monson prius. parked at MRS, duane gave me a ride to
C1.
* stopped at MRS to help load matlab onto the flux class laptops.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1100 psi. N2 at 890 psi.
* from 11:10-11:40 MST, swapped REBs domes. NOTE, the apiration fan
was not turning...but i gave it a small "push" and then it started to
turn. this fan should probably be replaced...
* tested the netgear network switch for the webcams. it seemed fine
(ie, i could connect to the forestcam from the quacker box), but the
fiber-to-copper converter in the trailer seemed to have a problem and
no comm lights were flashing (the other end of the fiber line had
flashing lights). [note: I could use the rj45 cable that goes to the
black box mini converter to connect with plumwood to connect to campus
so it was not an issue with either the cable or hub in the trailer...]
update on 7/18/2011: ordered a new fiber-to-copper converter from
black box (old one was under 6-year warranty...but need to find
invoice from this purchase).
* downloaded logger data (updated clocks using time.gov):

Purpose of visit: remove P sensor, check ATI k-probe, logger data.
Weather: Variable. Sunny in the morning and then clouded up
and threatened rain. Rain never happened. Then cleared up and
was a bit breezy. Then threatened rain again (a few drops fell).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Monson suburban with Nicole/Emily/Ben.
* como creek is still quite high....overflowing at the 2nd
bridge.
* took a hike west of the tower...found a few things left from the
TRAM/PAR experiement (strap on a tree, bags, cabling), etc. Also,
near the west robot a BIG tree had snapped off...it took out a few
smaller trees, but didn't hit the robot tower.....
* nicole, et al were doing soil respiration stuff.
* russ and dave moore were filming for RKMs new webpage.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1100 psi. N2 at 890 psi.
* at approx 10:00 MST, power-cycled the ATI k-probe (this fixed the problem)
* at approx 10:30 MST, modified orientation of krypton
hygrometer...the detector tube should be pointed AWAY from the sun.
Note the detector tube is the SHORTER of the two tubes....I oriented
it so that the shorter tube is pointing DOWN (this what eol does, eg,
see CHATS photos).
* from 11:00-11:40 MST, removed eol P sensors and data system. returned all
this stuff to Gordons office at NCAR.
* from 13:50-14:15 MST, replaced 3 lowest inlet filters for co2 profile system
* tried to download logger data from brent/dustin cr1000...but it wouldn't
let me connect!?

Purpose of visit: tour of site for class, swap N2, get logger data.
Weather: Cool and breezy in the morning (wall cloud at divide). Then
the winds calmed and it warmed up a bit. Still a surprising amount of
snow in the forest. They are becoming snow "islands". Como creek is
flowing strongly now.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Monson jeep.
* forgot to take aspen photo---aspens along peak-to-peak are fully
leafed out.
* in the morning a soil class from CSU was visiting the site (Mark W
was leading the tour at C1, the class also visited the tower and then
went to sample soils). Nicole gave me info about the girdled plots.

Friday, June 3rd, 2011 Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: move gas cylinders around.
Weather: Clear, sunny and warm. Clouded up a bit in the afternoon.
the road to C1 was opened today. Surprising how much snow is still in
the forest. Still not much post-holing, but como creek is getting
bigger and snow is pretty soft off the trail.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Monson jeep.
* apsen trees at the site are still not leafing out. but the ones
along the peak-to-peak are just starting to leaf out.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1400 psi. N2 at 400 psi.
* snow depths (not checked).
* turned on the fans in the LI-COR and quacker boxes (we are
supposed to have HOT weather for the next week or so)....
* moved up 3 cylinders from campus:
cc302236 N2 tower moved to tower on 6/3/11, ordered by Russ, delivered 6/11/09 (probably for flux class?)
SG91667447BAL span trlr/ground moved to trailer on 6/3/11, date is approx 2004, pressure in Nov 2010 was 1300 psi.
cc301525 N2 trlr/ground moved to trailer on 6/3/11, ordered by Russ, delivered 6/11/09 (probably for flux class?)
* brought 4 empty cylinders down to MRS (didn't yet fill out the form!):
cc253014 N2 trlr/inside moved to MRS on 6/2/11, retired on 12/2/2010 (0 psi), started on 9/13/2010 @2300 psi, moved to tower 7/1/10,
cc282442 N2 trlr/outside moved to MRS on 6/2/11, moved to trlr on 2/16/11, retired on 2/4/2011 (0 psi), started on 12/2/2010,
cc262287 N2 trlr/outside moved to MRS on 6/2/11, started on 2/4/2011, moved to tower on 9/13/2010, delivered on 9/8/09,
cc153480 span trlr (inside) moved to MRS on 6/2/11, retired on 4/20/2011 (at approx 20 psi), started on 11/19/2010, moved to tower on 2/11/09
* between 12:28-12:31 MST, zeroed LI-6262 and made a slight
flow-rate adjustment.
* moved the eol pressure sensor ("B8", ch1) from 11m up to 21.5m.
Installed it where the krypton hygrometer is usually located.
* downloaded logger data:

Thursday, May 26th, 2011 Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: swap dessicant trap, download logger data.
Weather: Cloudy with sun. Feels a bit humid. Still lots of snow, but
the melt is starting! Snow was "hard" in the morning, but softened up
by the afternoon. Still not much post-holing.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU prius.
* As usual, Dean + crew was up in the afternoon (we seem to pick
the same "nice weather" days to go up to the site).
---------
* Span cylinder at 1500 psi. N2 at 600 psi.
* snow depths:
closest to tree = buried
TP101 461 middle probe = 135 cm
farthest probe = 140 cm
(might need to check these with photo to confirm?)
* switched eol pressure sensors SW4 to "on" so that the sampling
method could be changed:
-at 1255 MST, switched sensor "B4" to ON (on tower)
-at 1310 MST, switched sensor "B7" to ON (snow, in blue box)
* when i got back to the trailer (around 2:30 MST), I logged into
the eol system and then used rserial to change the settings on the
vaisala ptb220 P sensors (details are below).
* at 12:30ish MST, cleared out the snow from the lowest to
prof inlets (the snow was over the 2nd-lowest (1-meter) inlet).
* from approx 12:17 - 12:33 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
- at 12:17 MST, did zero, co2 approx 0.03 mV (seemed slow? slightly clogged trap?)
- at 12:31 MST, did zero + blow test (ok).
(zero is approx 0.002 mV).
- at 12:33 MST, back to auto mode. flow rate at ~13.
- note, I watched it for one cycle and it seemed "ok"...but
when i got back to the trailer p.prof was a mess....co2.prof
would spike for Lev2 and the p.prof value was genearlly
too low (i think this means a constriction, but not sure why lev2
was so different??...anyway, hiked back to tower and made sure the
tubing was straight and wasn't being pinched when closing
the door. it then seemed "ok" and p.prof was stable.
* downloaded logger data (no major time problems):

trying to change the eol P sensor to 10-hz:
-------------------------------------------
notes from a 5/12/2011 meeting with gordon:
* we initially tried to use "rserial" to change the settings....it did
not work...we also tried using "minicom"...the communication with the
ptb did not seem to be working....gordon (and I) were a bit confused
about this. So we setup a similar system in the lab to test
things...one difference with the one in the lab is there there were a
2nd set of jumpers that the "B8" sensor did not have...we eventually
figured out that you need to send an "s" to stop the data and
then it can accept other commands...and an "r" to re-start the
data...so this looks something like:

* note, we also changed the INTV setting on serial chan 2 (sensor
"B4"), but this did not create real hi-rate data...it gave 10 constant
values for 1 second. To change this the dip switch #4 needs to be
flipped to the ON position...
* to do minicom, do: minicom ttyS1
* "adn" shuts down the pressure data system
"aup" boots up the pressure data system...

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: added p' port for new pressure sensors, download
logger data, etc...
Weather: Feels a LOT like spring. Some big puffy convective
clouds...above freezing. Very windy/blustery. The clouds were moving
fast...the upper surface of the snow seemed to be a bit wet....John K
said the snowpack has gone isothermal (and I believe it!).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU prius
* stopped by McGuckins for tubing, bungees, and zip ties.
* note, my watch battery was dead...but I synced plumwood to time.gov
before leaving the trailer.
---------
* Span cylinder at 400 psi. N2 at 700 psi.
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 83 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 107 cm
farthest probe = 113 cm
* used the clamp-on amp meter and split extention cord (borrowed from
Kurt Knudson at NCAR) to measure the power used in the bowling shed
(approx 6 amps at startup, and then 3.6 amps under steady conditions).
* note, that our clamp-on meter also works...it seems difficult to
read...compared to the one from NCAR...it looks like you can set the
range to "Amps 6" and then use the middle Amps scale...this has
markings like: 0 10 20 30 40 50 60....the power to the shed comes out
to be around "40"...which we thought might be "4.0 Amps"? [note, this
should be 3.6 Amps]....
* installed the two "p'" inlet ports to the tower. I also bought a
smaller (1/4" OD) tubing that can be used to splice the p' port tubing
to the transducer. This smaller tubing seems to work well...note:
- at around 1pm connected North p' port (at 12m) to sensor B8
- the South p' port (also at 12m), is unconnected right now.
* also added the smaller tubing to the "undersnow" transducer (the
previous connection seemed quite loose...so the new tubing connector
might change things a bit??)...
* updated met logger to met_07.csi, output the pressure (Ptot.18m) as
"high" resolution rather than low-res.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 12053 Mar 16 11:07 met_07.csi*
* started ops55 to take into account hi-res Ptot.18m.
here is the OLD resolution (using OPS=54):
prep -D Ptot.18m -f -B "11 03 10 7:0:0" -E "11 03 10 7:10:0" -t | more
prep -D Ptot.18m -f -B "11 03 10 7:0:0" -E "11 03 10 7:10:0" -t -A "%4.2f" | more
Set OPS period: OPS=ops54

* at approx 12:30 MST, adjust LI-6262 flows.
* from approx 13:00 - 13:15 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
- at 13:00 MST, did zero, co2 approx -0.004 mV
- at 13:14 MST, did zero + blow test (ok).
(zero is approx -0.002 mV).
- at 13:15 MST, back to auto mode. flow rate at ~11.

* borrowed a sled from MRS, hauled up the new data system and pressure
sensors. (rode the sled back down the hill which was FAST!)....
* setup the new data system as "isff". It seems to be working:

* details about the pressure sensors setup:
- chan1, U4110003, "B8" setup near the CU P sensor (no inlet port used)
- chan2, S0610001, "B4" setup near the CU P sensor (no inlet port used)
- chan3, U4110001, "B7" connected to the undersnow P inlet port

* to get the data back to russter2 here is what I did:
added the line to my .cshrc: set today = `date -u +%Y%m%d`
then can use:
to check files: rsync rsync://198.11.18.38/data/NIWOT/raw_data/
to get files:
rsync --exclude="*${today}_*" -av --dry-run rsync://198.11.18.38/data/NIWOT/raw_data/ /tmp
(note, this is a "dry-run" so it won't do anything)....
what I should do is:
rsync --exclude="*${today}_*" -av --dry-run rsync://198.11.18.38/data/NIWOT/raw_data/ /data/projects/NIWOT/raw_data/all/
to actually get the data files do:
rsync --exclude="*${today}_*" -av rsync://198.11.18.38/data/NIWOT/raw_data/ /data/projects/NIWOT/raw_data/all/
to remove the files after getting them do:
rsync --exclude="*${today}_*" -av --remove-sent-files rsync://198.11.18.38/data/NIWOT/raw_data/ /data/projects/NIWOT/raw_data/all/
here is the result:

gordon,
thanks...i think it's working, i just need
to setup the sensors....which i'm doing now...
1 and 3 are connected....i think i'm all set...
i'll give you a call tomorrow to chat more
about dumping the data....and make sure i'ts really
workikng..
thanks!

---------
* there was a power outage at around 7:30 MST...i thought russter2
might need to be power-cycled, but at 7pm it came back on. The
quacker was up but the data system was not archiving the data...it
looked like:

So I did:
ndaqrestart quacker
quacker: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
waited a short while, and then data started coming
in...ie:

At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: check problem with russter2.
Weather: Extreme cold. It was also windy and there
was lots of blowing snow.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up SpB Jeep.
* never went to the tower, only the trailer.
* happy new year with pei!
---------
* Span cylinder at ? psi. N2 at ? psi.
* to my surprise russter2 was up and running! And the data had been
collected since we lost communications sometime on 24 Dec. It turns
out there was an issue with the network card to the outside world
(eth0). Orrie thought it might be a configuration/software problem
and we tried quite a few things to figure it out....i also tried the
obvious things like a new network cable, different port on the hub,
etc. Also, the cable/hub used for russter2 worked just fine when i
connected to the network with one of the dell laptops...
* in the end we couldn't figure it out, but i'll go back up again next
week to deal with it (and hopefully bring a replacement network card
if that is available)...

hrs). The storm did not go very far east of the site. More snow than
I expected in the trees (knee-deep).
--------- Misc Notes:

Purpose of visit: swap GAST pump.
Weather: It was much windier than I liked because I was swapping the
2-micron filter at the 21.5m inlet. Could have been worse, but it was
not ideal. As I was finishing the wind started dying down a bit...
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU malibu (was supposed to have a prius).
* the gast pump died early Monday morning. kurt was kind enough
to kill the power to it late on monday.
* went to FEF on Tue so couldn't come up until wed.
---------
* Span cylinder at 1600 psi. N2 at 1710 psi.
* with orries help, figured out that the thumbdrive in the trailer was
having a problem when connecting to russter2 (so the usb ports are
ok). [try to reformat it?]
* from ~10:30-11:30 MST, swapped out gast pump for LI-6262 (replaced with a new pump)
* no surprise that the pump died because it has been running for around
2 years (with one swap of the vanes last summer).
* had a spare GAST pump in the trailer that I used (also, ordered a
new one during the week of 12/13).
* at 9:30 MST, rebooted russter2 (to update kernel, etc)
* from 11:30-12:00 MST, replaced 2-micron Nupro filters in LI-6262 system (at inlet only)
* at 12:15 MST, adjusted cal gas flows (and re-zeroed) LI-6262

Weather: windy, but not too cold. We have had very strong
winds the past few days. And the ground is now snow-covered.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up a CU Pruis. Saw smoke to the west as I was heading from
Marine St...was planning to stop by McGuckins, but I bypassed that
and made a beeline for cayon road. The "dome" fire was just
starting and I made it up the canyon before the road closed....
* moved the HYDRA out of N324 and into my office when I got back to
campus.
* made 3 trips to/from tower...once for a power outage...once at the
very end of the day to try and fix the flow in the LI-6251 (which is
better, but still a problem as of 11/2/2010).
---------
* Span cylinder at 350 psi. N2 at 950 psi.
* setup the pressure inlet near the ground...see photos. (need to get
some extra tubing and "connector tubing" to extend this line a bit)...
* from 14:23-14:37 MST, Changed profiler (li-6251) dessicant
* John Knowles noticed a cylinder of hydrogen at the tower....here
is a summary of what we found out about this:

From: Sean Burns
Subject: Re: Hydrogen Cylinder?
Hi Dean,
thanks for solving this "mystery" for us! I think we can bring the
cylinder back to airgas sometime over the winter (once the snow gets
deeper it will be easier to slide out of there)....John, will that be
possible? my guess is that this cylinder of hydrogen was used to run
a fuel cell....does that sound familiar at all? Once we get the
correct cylinder numbers, I think airgas will be able to tell us who
originally ordered it....also, it is tagged with ramaley N1B68 which
is a good clue...
Linda, do you happen to recall who would have had cylinders
stored/delivered in room N1B68? (this might have been 7-8 years
ago)...when I first started working at CU in 2003 part of the Monson
Lab was in room N1B46, but I don't think we used N1B68 for
anything....
thanks!
SpB.

wind, etc.
---------
* Span cylinder at 750 psi. N2 at 2100 psi.
* when i was adding thermocouples to the am25ts I realized that I
never modified the ucb logger program to take into account the change
in thermocouple type (it's now using E-type rather than T-type). So I
made this change and uploaded the new program (ucb_13.csi).
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 9011 Sep 20 10:56 ucb_13.csi*
* setup the AM25T comparisons in the trailer (it was in Ramaley).

Purpose of visit: swap dessicant, change N2 cylinder.
Weather: Very strong downslope winds. The fourmile canyon
fire started at around 10am today. Could see the big
plume from the site.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the CU Jeep. Had to drive down coal creek canyon to get
back to Boulder.
* was also going to work on aircoa at T-van.
---------
* Span cylinder at 900 psi. N2 at 300 psi.
* decided to go to T-van first (rather than the AmeriFlux tower).
This turned out to be a good decision because the power went out at
around noon (while I was at T-van). By the time I was back in the
trailer the power was back on...as I was working there on russter2
(found out a few details about the fire, etc), it went off again.
* i left the area without the power coming back on. And without
visiting the tower (decided to return on Tue).

there when it happened and I met matt reynolds (nednet)).
* the matlab install worked when going from the DVD. Over the network
it was REALLY slow (partially because i tried to install simumlink and
all the toolboxes too)....

Purpose of visit: put up new boom for 21.5m csat.
Weather: Clear and sunny in the morning. Upslope winds. Clouds built
up and it became pretty stormy around 2pm. After that there was a
some brief clearing, but still storms visible in the distance.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the NCAR Truck (was hoping to go to T-van, plus used
it to bring up the boom).
* Jen rode her bike up to MRS and I met her there.
* didn't have time to make it to T-van...but I can do this
on Monday...
---------
* Span cylinder at 1450 psi. N2 at 1850 psi.
* transported two new n2 cylinders out to the tower: cc253014,
cc262389 (...still have 3 more new N2 cylinders on the ground near
the trailer that need to go out to the tower)....
* cc264923 (approx 200 psi) was halfway down the path; now it's at the
front of the trailer.
* setup a new boom for the csat at 21.5m (borrowed from NCAR/EOL)..note:
-- this boom puts the 21.5m csat about 20-30cm LOWER than it was
before....
-- you need to have a 9/16" socket wrench in order to tighten the
csat to this boom (it's a very specific fit)!! We wound up
borrowing a socket from Duane...and even that didn't fit through the
outer hole, but it was possible to detach the extender from the
socket and make it work that way. A wrench does not work because
the csat gets in the way
-- We didn't use the "clamshell" parts to guy-wire the boom to the
tower---the boom is u-bolted to the tower cross-bars and sits across
the short-width of the tower. It's actually designed to fit on the
outside of the shortside of the tower--see photos from CME04 (might
try this sometime in the future). For now, the extra parts are in
the laser shed...
* downloaded logger data (no time problems, but it was in the middle
of the thunderstorm!):

Monday, November 30th, 2009 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: move plugs for LI-CORs....
Weather: Clear and sunny in the morning. Then some high clouds moved
in. It was calm most of the time, but there were a few wintry wind
gusts. Very warm for the last day in November. Except for a dusting,
I don't think it has snowed significantly since just before my last
visit...
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove the CU compact.
---------
* Span cylinder at 300 psi. N2 at 1700 psi
* dragged a new N2 cylinder (cc198609) to the tower and set it up at
the base of the tower; hauled an empty one (cc264924) back to the
trailer...
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 14 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 28 cm
farthest probe = 32 cm
* at around 11:30 MST, moved the plugs for the LI-CORs from the
"battery backup" to "surge protected" on the tripp light
battery-backup outlet/UPS (piece of junk)....unfortunately, this UPS
died on Tue (11/24) right around the time i was leaving town...so it
was down for the 5 days that I was gone...
* re-arranged the pressure inlets in the UCB logger (previously, they
were both inside the campbell logger box)...now "P.mpx" is placed just
outside the entrance to the logger box...and "Pbaro.ucb" is attached
to a tree branch about 1.5m off the ground...
* downloaded logger data (no major time problems):

----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: try to get russter2 to reboot on powerup, swap N2...
Weather: Dead calm. Cold.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove the CU prius.
---------
* Span cylinder at 400 psi. N2 at 150 psi (replaced)
* from 13:00-13:40 MST, switched N2 cylinder at the tower (new
cylinder=CC1997651 (2050 psi); old cylinder=CC264924 (100 psi))
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 21 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 30 cm
farthest probe = 39 cm
* stopped the data system and tried to reboot and change the BIOS for
an "auto-boot" on power applied to russter2..this STILL did not work??

Friday, November 6th, 2009 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB, NT, DA
Purpose of visit: change battery in russter2, add P sensor.
Weather: It was a mix of gusty and calm. Very warm for November, but
the road was not passable and lots of snow still on the ground.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove the CU grey jeep.
---------
* Span cylinder at 500 psi. N2 at 400 psi
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 17 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 28 cm
farthest probe = 28 cm
* replaced the internal battery in russter2...ie:
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ws360/en/ug/battery.htm#1106873
* fixed (i hope) the loose wire in the met logger (see photo).
* downloaded logger data, updated times on all loggers...nctc had
drifted by approx 2 minutes...others were ok. (still need to dump data
at MRS!):

Saturday, October 31st, 2009 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: swap dessicant, get logger data, clear snow off
tower.
Weather: It was fairly warm (above freezing) and sunny. Snow was
about 3/4-calf deep...the snowcat had been used to the snow on the
road was fairly well-packed.
--------- Misc Notes:
* rented a prius from the motorpool.
---------
* Span cylinder at 520 psi. N2 at 550 psi
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 35cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 46cm
farthest probe = 48cm
* from 13:12 - 13:28 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
- at 13:12 MST, did zero, co2 approx -0.008 mV
- at 13:27 MST, did zero + blow test (ok).
(zero is approx -0.005 mV).
- at 13:28 MST, back to auto mode. flow rate at ~14.
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

...(also swapped cards for the snow temp probe data)...
654: data processing, Site none, Wed 09-Dec-2009 13:00:02 MST, october, 2009 info...
found a subtle BUG in cal.co2.q....related to the loaned LI-6262..it's
related to the serial numbers...ie:
fgrep serial cal.co2.q
fun.cal.co2 <- function(zero, span, co2.raw,t.raw,p.raw,h2o.raw,t1,serial)
if(serial==638) {
if(serial==308) {
if(serial==368) {
if(serial==169) {
if(serial==224) {
if(serial==638 | serial == 169) {
if(serial==638 | serial == 169) {
if(serial==638 | serial == 169) {
if(serial==638 | serial == 169) {
if(serial==638 | serial == 169) {
in spots where it says, "if(serial==638 | serial == 169)" it should
say, if(serial==638 | serial == 169 | serial == 224)"
doh!!
also, what's the difference between:
co2.fluxes.q:if(serial==638 || serial == 169 || serial == 224) {
and
cal.co2.q:if(serial==638 | serial == 169) {
?? [has to do with vectors/matrices?]...see:
www4.stat.ncsu.edu/~reich/st810A/R_Cheatsheet.doc
so now i have:
fun.cal.co2 <- function(zero, span, co2.raw,t.raw,p.raw,h2o.raw,t1,serial)
if(serial==638) {
if(serial==308) {
if(serial==368) {
if(serial==169) {
if(serial==224) {
if(serial==638 || serial == 169 || serial == 224) {
if(serial==638 || serial == 169 || serial == 224) {
if(serial==638 || serial == 169 || serial == 224) {
if(serial==638 || serial == 169 || serial == 224) {
if(serial==638 || serial == 169 || serial == 224) {

* from approx 10:00 - 11:00 MST, moved in-canopy radiation sensors out
of the "tree mount" and back to the mini-tower (now that TRAM is
gone). [NOTE: checked data on 10/19 and they look
reasonable...Rnet_2m did seem to change a bit, probably due to better
leveling of the sensor?]

* setup the eol csat3 (sn 0674)---didn't have a long enough bolt to
attach to the long eol boom! luckily, there was an extra (longer)
bolt in the trailer....
* at 11:00 MST, started ops52/ops53; collecting eol csat3,
accelerometer data no longer saved (after a few adjustments).
* started running "fast_10.csi" in fast cr23x logger
* moved EOL T/RH sensor from 2.0m up to 4.6m
* downloaded logger data (only the soil logger):

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009 Visit:
------------------------------------
At the site: SpB, CG, NT, LY
Purpose of visit: setup eol csat-3, also turn off fans!
Weather: First sig snow of the season on Monday...still cold and snowy
today. The yellow aspens and white snow make for nice scenery...the
wind kicked up in the afternoon a bit (but still not too bad).
--------- Misc Notes:
* Chris Gray, et al. moved the ptrms on Monday.
* Nicole and Lindsay showed up to do some "winter'izing". Also, I
think they re-setup Noahs cr10x...
* the wireless network from the outside world to MRS started on Monday
(9/21). This made the connection to/from russter2 slower and with
lost packets...
---------
* turned off the fans in the LI-COR and quacker boxes (should have
done this earlier!)...
* hot-swapped the battery in the UPS that is in the trailer.
* csat3 wiring at the logger:
C1 = green G= black + shield (clear)
C2 = white
C3 = brown
* when i was changing the eol csat3 (sn 0674) SDM setting from 3 to 4 i noticed
that the SDM cable was not connected...emails about this:

Chris,
thanks. i was able to pop out the pins...but when trying to stuff the
pin for the black wire in with the other two black wires, the pin
broke. so i cut the pin off the black wire...the other ones i
connected to the green connector with the pins attached (though this
might smush the pins)....here is what the wires were like for the
black connector (looking from the back, ie along the wires):
empty empty black white empty
empty empty brown green empty
i reconnected serial output (even though i don't need this)....
still snowing lightly...i'll go see if i can get this bastard sonic up
and running on the tower...

Sean,
Oops. That is a sonic that has been set-up for our serializer. Those
wires will be connected in the green connector with the black and red
wires are connected (just behind the RS232 bulkhead). Looking at the
box with the bulkheads to the top the wires will be connected from
left to right on the green, screwlok connector.
Red, Blk, Grn, Wht, Brn.
Don't forget to plug in the DE9 connector also.

hi,
here's photo of what i'm talking about:

you can see the SDM connector on the right side with green/white/black
wires...where on the board should this be connected?
thanks!

Hi Chris/Tom/Steve,
quick question---when i opened the white control box to change the SDM
address from 3 to 4 i noticed that the wires for the SDM output are
not connected to anything...the serial output is connected...do you
happen to know where the SDM connection is on the board inside the
white box? i'll keep on looking, but it's not obvious to me...
if it wasn't snowing i would just open one that we have to figure this
out (and maybe i'll still do this)....if this is unclear or you have
some idea about this please let me know...most importantly, i assume
that it is still possible to use the SDM output, right? (i know you
have done some custom'izing of the csat3's)....
thanks,
SpB.

At the site: SpB, JK
Purpose of visit: meet John Knowles for LI-7500 work...
Weather: Fairly calm most of the day. But rather cool and primarily
overcast. A few sun breaks. Seemed like it might rain, but never
did. In the late afternoon it turned quite nice with a few puffy
clouds floating around...
--------- Misc Notes:
* aspens are at peak yellow.
*
---------
* transported 4 new N2 cylinders from CU up to the trailer (cc17742,
cc198609, cc264923, cc19975)
* lots of stuff to transcribe from my notes about the LI-7500 work...seemed
to have problems with the dewpoint generator??....maybe the flow/pump is
not strong enough?...

Purpose of visit: add back the Krypton Hygrometer...
Weather: very nice for working on the tower (calm, etc).
--------- Misc Notes:
* aspens are starting to turn yellow.
*
---------
* replaced gelman filters for two tower inlets
* reconfigured the mounting for the star-dot camera (need to add guy wires?)
* at around 10 MST, remounted our our newly calibrated krypton (sn
1249). it has the following new calibration values (updated in
lat.heat1.q and sens.heat.q):
# Borrowed a krypton hygrometer from ATD (sn 1101) from Jun 15-Jul 28 2004 :
if(t1 >= utime("04 jun 15 120000") & t1 < utime("04 jul 28 110000")) {
plength <- 1.3 # pathlength in cm
if(rhov*1000 <= 9.00 ) kw <- 0.168
else kw <- 0.168
}
# Recalibrated Sept 2009 :
if(t1 >= utime("09 aug 28 110000") & t1 < utime("15 jan 1 000000")) {
plength <- 1.201 # pathlength in cm
if(rhov*1000 <= 9.20 ) kw <- 0.156 # note: these are the "windows scaled" values
else kw <- 0.147
}

Monday, September 7th, 2009 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: swap out N2 cylinder, change dessicant.
Weather: A bit cool and blustery. The aspens around como creek
are starting to turn yellow now. It feels like summer is over.
--------- Misc Notes:
* picked up the jeep key from Lynette in the morning (she had
taken it home with her).
* ordered 5 more N2 cylinders from airgas to drive up to C1 before the
snow moves in.
---------
* from around 10:50-10:40 MST, swapped N2 at the tower. (did leak
check during that time). (new cylinder=CC264924 (2000 psi); old
cylinder=CC199722 (approx 100 psi)). left CC199722 at the base of
the tower.
* from 10:32 - 10:53 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
- at 10:30 MST, did zero (N2 not connected!).
- at 10:48 MST, re-open N2.
- at 10:50, did zero + blow test (ok).
(zero is approx -0.001 mV).
- at 10:52:45, back to auto mode. flow rate at ~14.
* from 10:55-10:58 MST, adjusted flow rate in LI-6262.
* messed around the T/RH.eol, but wound up needing better mounting
parts to set it up properly...

At the site: SpB, DA, DB, AT, T
Purpose of visit: swap out the LI-6262, download logger data.
Weather: Warm and sunny. A few bursts of wind from time-to-time.
Very hazy due to the smoke from the fires to the west of us (ie, in
california!).
--------- Misc Notes:
* Andrew Turnipseed and Tiffany (NCAR/ACD) were installing a REA
system at the top of the tower.
* Dave Bowling was working on his data logger, etc.
---------
* the gelman filter at the lowest inlet had come loose; tried to use
tape this to make it more secure. still need to swap gelman filters
for the two inlets on the tower.
* downloaded logger data and reset the clocks on the all the loggers
(all within about 15 sec of russter2 time):

* removed loaner LI-6262 (sn IRG3-224); re-installed our re-calibrated
LI-6262 (sn IRG3-0638).
- at 9:30 MST, bumped up the LI-6262 h2o signal, dial, span=5.0, offset=5.80
(this must be the "offset" that i changed)...
- between 10:00-10:35 MST, changed the LI-6262s.
at 10:32 MST, ran N2 into the LI-6262...
at 10:33 MST, ran span into LI-6262....
at 10:33:30, back to sample...
- also made some adjustments to the needle valve at this
time...note, p.cell on the LI-6262 front panel is no longer
working correctly (but the mV output is ok)...

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB, A
Purpose of visit: add T/RH sensor from EOL, change to SDM output
for 2.5m LI-7500.
Weather: Overcast, foggy and cold. Upslope wind. It was drippy/wet
all day. Toward the end of the afternoon it started to really rain.
--------- Misc Notes:
* mt lion seen recently at cable gate (according to Kurt C.).
*
---------
* Added a T/RH sensor from EOL (currently setup at 188 cm) to prof
logger (start using prf_02.csi). Borrowed from Steve Semmer.
* Here is the wiring for this sensor:
Red/black = Power (+12 VDC) and ground.
White/Black = Temperature, Ta_eol= 100.*Ta_eol_mV./1000-40
Green/Black = RH, RH_eol= RH_eol_mV./10
* at 10:44 MST, disconnected o3.slow, added EOL T/RH.
* Added SDM output from the LI-7500 at 2.5m, uc23x logger starts using
uc_02.csi (note: this change causes data output rate to be at 5 Hz,
not 10 Hz)
* some more info about LI-7500:
LI-7500 at 12.5m: SDM cable....wiring:
(note this wire goes through a junction box);
C1 = red wire
C2 = black wire
C3= green wire
GND= white + shield
* talked to sasha at campbell....here is what the wiring should be:
C1 = gray wire
C2 = blue wire
C3= brown wire
Gnd = other wires....
note, it needs a lot of power on startup....so should use +12V from
some external source (ie, not the cr23x!)....
warmup = 30 Watts = 2.5 amps....
running = 10 Watts = 0.8 amps....
* downloaded logger data:

* To-Do List:
- show ryan/lindsay how to swap the GAST pump....bring new vanes!
- fix the support cable for REBS sensor....need turnbuckle...
- replace (internal) batteries in the rad and met loggers...
- adjust flows for LI-6262...
- change program for uc23x logger (get output back to 10hz!)
- change "bandwidth" settings for LI-7500s....set to "none" or
20 hz...
- get diameter for PVC of eol t/rh sensor...
on 27 July 2009, updated the splus file to reflect using the loaner
li-6262 (sn 224)...files changed:

with LI-7500 at 2.5m.
Weather: Starting to warm up. No rain very dry.
--------- Misc Notes:
* the flux class at MRS is going on...
---------
* at approx 11:00 MST, leveled PAR-Lite sensor (it was previously at a
slight (5 deg?) angle to horizontal).
* from 12:06 - 12:29 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
- at 12:06 MST, did zero (value is approx 0.005 mV).
- at 12:15, did zero + blow test (ok).
(zero is approx -0.005 mV, span at 1.395).
- at 12:20, back to auto mode. flow rate at ~13.
* unplugged the rain gauge heater....
* check the setting on the LI-7500:
delay time= 0, DAC = 240 ms, Bandwidth= 5 Hz, SDM= 7 (..note the 12.5m
LI7500 outputs digital data, while the 2.5m LI7500 used analog
output...)
* added a 5-port "netgear" switch at the 10-m power box to prepare for
the new webcam
* logger data (no time problems):

From: Erinn Looney-Triggs
Subject: Re: message on russter2...
Near as I can tell a user trahan logged in and then attempted to suspend the system.
Looks like she did that multiple times actually. This is probably the root cause of
this suspending and resuming the system can lead to a lot of funky errors and this
probably broke the serial connection.
Anyway, we should probably reboot the system if someone is up there to watch it and
that 'should' fix the issue.

Hi UnixOPS,
a message just appeared on my xterm window from russter2:
Broadcast message from root (Mon Jul 20 12:31:45 2009):
Warning communications lost with UPS UPS_IDEN
seems like it's related to the UPS software....any idea if this is
something to worry about? i think the UPS is connected by a serial
cable to russter2....
thanks,

Subject: Re: ADAMs
Hi,
i have some other things to take care of...here's a quick summary of
what i did:
1. arrived, network was not working. port4 where the fiber optic
cable connects to the fiber-to-copper converter in the quacker box was
not lighting up. I moved the fiber pair to port3 and then the lights
came on. And i was able to get on the internet at the tram location.
2. i've rebooted the adam by turning the power switch on the outside
of the box on/off a few times now. still can't ping isffa from
russter2. lights are on in the viper so i know there is power
there...also the usb drive is lit up. the network cable that goes to
the adam (ie, connected to the hub in the red tub) has two
lights---the green "lnk/act" light is rapidly flashing on/off...the
"100M" light is solid orange. this cable connects to "eth1" on the
side of the adam...i would try a different network cable, but it needs
a special connector (though i do see some normal rj-45 connectors
inside the adam box)...
i'll check my email again before i leave, but i have some other
work to do...
thanks,
SpB.

Hi Betsy,
I was finally able to check the serial numbers of the short-haul
modems that are out in the field...one is a ME721A rather than a
ME800A, they are:
Model Serial Number Logger
------ ------------- --------
ME800A-R2 sn 0202 UCB (logger end)
ME721A-M 717N0056 UC (logger end)
ME800A-R3 sn 0605 UCB (tower end)
ME800A-R3 sn 0405 UC (tower end)
If we can't add the ME721A to the "double diamond" protection plan,
then just do the three ME800A's....
If you need other information or have any other question let me
know...and please let me know what type of document i get that shows
the protection plan, etc...my understanding is that it is $17/unit for
three years of protection, correct?
thanks,
SpB.

Sunday, June 7th, 2009 Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: fix fast cr23x data logger
Weather: It started snowing (ice pellets) when i arrived. There were
some very big clouds around (mostly to the east). It was a bit windy
at times, but also sunny and nice other times. There was only one
distant rumble of thunder...as i left the clouds completely cleared
off. And it was clear skies and sunny...
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU gray Jeep.
* still a few piles of snow "holding on". Added a bit of salt to the
ground rod (plenty of water in there)...
* the Aspens are really leafing out...almost fully out.
---------
* span pressure = ? psi; N2 pressure ? psi.
* on sunday morning (7 June) i noticed the file sizes changed
dramatically on the 6th, ie:
-r--r--r-- 1 root aster 39049534 Jun 6 10:00 nwt090606.080000

-r--r--r-- 1 root aster 34115462 Jun 7 18:00 nwt090607.160000
* it looks like at around 17:20 MST the fast logger (chan 201) stopped
spitting out data...ie:
data_stats < /data/projects/NIWOT/raw_data/all/nwt090607.000000
Opened:
chan #points start time end time delta time freq

216 287989 00:00:00.076 07:59:59.966 28799.890 10.000
* after connecting to the "fast" cr23x logger the time seemed fine,
but when i tried to look at the data the numbers were not changing...i
tried re-sending the program (fast_07.csi), but this did not fix the
problem. All the values then went to zero. This indicated a problem
with the logger (and not somewhere downstream of the logger). My
suspicion was that it was related to the internal batteries...which I
happened to have two spares of....swapped out the batteries and then
it worked ok. The logger was fixed at aruond 11:27 MST, ie:
data_stats < /data/projects/NIWOT/raw_data/all/nwt090607.160000

-------------------------------
At the site: SpB, LL, SL, LY
Purpose of visit: change LI-6262 Nupro filters/work on PAR.
Weather: Mostly clear up in the mountains. Not too windy. Could see
a heavy cloud layer down on the plains from the tower. Clouded up a
bit in the afternoon.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU gray Jeep.
* still piles of snow "holding on". But things are really starting to
open up now.

--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU gray Jeep.
* Chris gray and his helper (Alyssa) were up there looking for a spot
to setup the PTR-MS and they also grabbed a few sampling chambers...
* there is still snow left, but you can get to the tower without walking
in it. lots of water on the trail (it's been raining a lot).
* the Aspens are just starting to leaf out...
---------
* span pressure = 400 psi; N2 pressure 1080 psi.
* on Sunday night I noticed the tower data had stopped being

Hi,
fyi---it looks like the tower data system shut down this afternoon
about 2:30pm. And now the Edgeport is not getting recognized on
reboot..i'm getting a message like:

based on the timing, i'm guessing the problem is probably due to
lightning....I just added my name to the jeep calendar to go up
tomorrow. It says there were 4 people going up in the jeep tomorrow
so I assume one more person is ok (if not please let me know ASAP).
It also says that you are leaving from campus at 9am...so i'll plan to
be on campus before 9am.
Gordon, i still have your edgeport and i'll bring that with me for a
swap out if that is needed...
thanks,
SpB.
* at 10:15 MST, power-cycled the 2-d ati sonic (i think the serial port
on the back of the quacker died)....
* swapped out edgeport/8's (now using Gordons/eol's). Tower data back up
and running, ie:

Purpose of visit: replace batteries.
Weather: Perfect day to be working up at the site. The bugs have
not arrived yet, and temps are cool and pleasant.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU gray Jeep.
* Lots of things happening at the site: Steve Oncley was working on
TRAM, Laura was showing plots to Loles/Chris, Lynette was moving stuff
around, Nicole had her whole crew with her...
* still a bit too snowy on the trail to use the cart.
---------
* span pressure = 400 psi; N2 pressure 1080 psi.
* visited the west robot (downloaded logger data and unplugged
everything in preparation for removal of the robot in June).
* replaced the battery on the Tripp-lite UPS backup power-strip (above
the LI-6262). Note that getting this thing out of the box was rather
inconvenient...it has both velcro-type stuff and also two screws that
hold it in place. To get it off the screws you need to slide it to
the right or left...i should have removed the velcro, but once i put
it back in place it was still very difficult to remove so i just left
it as-is.
* from approx 12:55-12:57 MST, checked flows/pressure in LI-6262:
flow Pressure
sample 8.52 50.39
span 8.33 49.50
span 8.52 50.56 (after needle valve adj)
* swapped profilter dessicant...details:
* from 13:00 - 13:19 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
- at 13:04 MST, did zero (value is approx 0.006 mV).
- at 13:16 MST, did zero + blow test (ok).
(zero is approx 0.000 mV).
- at 13:19 MST, back to auto mode. flow rate at ~14.

Weather: Bright and sunny. About 3 FEET of fresh snow. The snow was
dripping and sloughing off the trees. Very wet and heavy. It was
mostly calm, with a few bursts of wind every now and then. A few
clouds showed up in the afternoon...and there was a cloud up near the
divide...the temperature was well above freezing...
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up my Jeep. First one to drive to MRS (which took a bit of
speed and power). It looked like the road to MRS was last plowed on
Friday? (or maybe sometime on Saturday).
* Kurt and Isabelle showed up and drove the snowcat up to cable gate
(and picked me up as I was trying to break trail along the road).
* it took me over an hour to get from the trailer to the tower....

left old cylinder at the tower...also, CC198519 was missing the
valve, so removed the one from CC264970 and used that.

Subject: Thursday MoCast: Monumental Spring Storm!!!
Here is your MoCast update for Thursday, April 16, at 10:00 am
Monumental Spring Storm taking shape!!!!!!
The latest numerical guidance is all consistent in producing strong,
deep upslope across eastern Colorado and the Front Range mountains for
the next 60 hrs., with total precipitation likely reaching 3 to 5
inches (melted) by late Saturday. The big question still is whether
surface temperatures will support deep snow accumulations at lower
elevations (e.g., downtown Boulder, Denver, etc.), but the current
guidance suggests it will be just cold enough.....
One aspect that seems quite certain is that the foothills above 7000
ft will likely see 24 to 48 inches of snow by Saturday, with some
areas possibly receiving 60 inches!!! Roads may become impassable by
Friday morning, remaining such possibly till Sunday.
So, first, for the lower elevations (e.g., below 7000 ft), rain with
embedded thunderstorms is likely Thursday afternoon, turning to heavy
wet snow Thursday evening, and continuing, heavy at times, through
Saturday. The snow may mix at times with rain Friday, but will likely
turn back to all snow Friday night and Saturday.
Best guess at snow accumulations by Saturday:
.....below 6000 ft (e.g., Boulder, Denver, Longmont, etc.) 8 - 16 inches (mo\
stly on the grass)
.....6000 to 7000 ft 14 - 28 inches
For higher elevations (e.g., above 7000 ft), snow today, becoming
heavy Thursday night, and continuing heavy at times through Saturday.
Roads may become impassable by Friday morning, remaining such till
Sunday.
Best guess at snow accumulations by Saturday: 24 - 48 inches, with
some local areas reaching up to 60 inches!!
happy spring!!!!

From: Orrie Gartner
Sean,
The S3 should have no affect as we don't put russter2 into a sleep
mode, ever. The "AC Power Recovery" set to On is what we want but you
said it was already set to "On". The "Remote Power On" won't help much
as we can't remotely turn it on from the LAN.
If another power outage occurs and it does not come back, enabling
Auto Power On Mode will automatically turn the system back on at the
time you specify. It should not be needed with "AC Power Recovery" set
to On but perhaps for some unknown reason the recovery isn't working.
We know for certain "Auto Power On" does work fine on this model as we
have a lab full of them where we enable this.

Hi Erinn,
here is what the options look like for the BIOS:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/090401/pic00015.jpg
note, that the "Remote Wake Up" was saved incorrectly...I meant this
to be "enabled". I looked under "Power Management", ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/090401/pic00016.jpg
this shows that "AC Power Recovery" as being ON. And I thought this
would be what I wanted...I'm not sure what "Suspend Mode" does...the
options were "S3" and "S2" (i think).
Here are the details about "Low Power Mode",
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/090401/pic00017.jpg
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/090401/pic00018.jpg
(I left this as "disabled").
And here are the details about "Remote Wake Up":
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/090401/pic00019.jpg
(I set this to ON, which was the only change I made to
any of the settings).
Though "Auto Power On" sounds like it might be useful, here
is what it shows:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/090401/pic00020.jpg
And the options are "Daily", "Weekly", Disabled. And you can set a
time...it seemed to me this was if you wanted the computer to turn on
at a certain time each day or week...I left this in "Disabled" mode.
Anyway, that is a summary of what I did...if we get another power
outage we'll find out if it makes any difference (or not)....maybe
after things get a bit warmer up there and access is easier we can
figure this out more completely and do some tests...
thanks!

Subject: Re: work on russter2....
Sean,
For the UPS stuff here are the instructions from the manual:
Arranging for Reboot on Power-Up
The final consideration for a automatic reboot after a full power down
is to ensure that your computer will automatically reboot when the
power is restored.
This is not the normal behavior of most computers as shipped from the
factory. Normally after the power is cut and restored, you must
explicit ly press a button for the power to actually be turned on. You
can test your computer by powering it down; shutting off the power
(pull the plug); then plugging the cord back in. If your computer
immediately starts up, good. There is nothing more to do.
If your computer does not start up, manually turn on the power (by
pressing the power on button) and enter your computer's SETUP program
(often by pressing DEL during the power up sequence; sometimes by
pressing F10). You must then find and change the appropriate
configuration parameter to permit instant power on.
Normally, this is located under the BOOT menu item, and will be called
something such as Restore on AC/Power Loss or Full-On. The exact words
will vary according to the ROM BIOS provider. Generally you will have
three options: Last State, Power On, and Power Off. Although Last
State should normally work, we recommend setting your computers to
Power On. This means that whenever the power is applied they are
on. The only way to shut them off is to pull the plug or to have a
special program that powers them off (/sbin/poweroff on Linux
systems).
If after making all the changes suggested above, you cannot get your
computer to automatically reboot, you might examine your halt script
(/et c/rc.d/init.d/halt in the case of Red Hat Linux) and see if the
final line that performs the halt or reboot contains the -p option for
powerin g down the computer. It should not with the logic used by
apcupsd, but if it does, the -p option could cause your computer to
power off while the UPS is still suppling power (i.e. before the UPS
kills the power). Depending on the setting of your BIOS, it may
prevent your computer fro m restarting when the power returns. As
already mentioned, this should not apply, but in case of problems it
is worth a try.
For the kernel stuff I am looking into it now.

Hi Trouble,
I changed the following in the BIOS on russter2:
Remote Wake Up...............On
(this was set to "Off"...the other option is, "On w/ Boot to NIC").
there is also,
Auto Power On.................Disabled.
this looks like a way to automatically reboot each day or
week so i left this as "Disabled".
Anyway, we'll see if this works or not.....at this time I don't want
to do more extensive testing of it (we can try that when the road is
open and i'm leaving town on Friday so don't want to mess with things
too much right now)...
One item which is of larger concern to me....when i tried to reboot
russter2, eth0 did not come up (had this same problem last time)....i
tried to reboot 3 times and it didn't work. I eventually went back to
a previous version of the kernel and then it worked....which is how
i'm logged in right now. I'm not sure if it worked due to "luck of
the draw" or using the previous version had something to do with
it....having eth0 not come up is a bit worrisome, because if the
computer reboots itself then the network does not come back up
properly...do you think this is a hardware or software issue? I'm a
bit hesitant to reboot things because I don't want to not have eth0
come back up...but if you have some good idea about what is going on
please let me me know...I'll be here in the trailer waiting for a
response. If you think it requires another reboot then let's go ahead
and do that now....
thanks,

--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up my own Jeep.
* missed the wed lab meeting....
---------
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 56 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 74 cm
farthest probe = 75 cm
* span pressure = 1000 psi; N2 = 1150 psi.
* on the afternoon of Mar 10 there was a power outage...the power went
off at around noon, and the data system appears to have shutdown at
13:59 (which gives a rough estimate of how long the batteries will
keep things going).

* just before I was getting ready to leave i noticed the LI-6262 data
were way off on cockpit...SO, i made another trip out to the tower.
It turns out that the power for the LI-6262 is in a small grey box
just above the LI-6262 box...and the power is connected to a "Internet
Office 280, Tripp Lite Power Protection" power strip. (basically, a
power strip with a small battery in it). This battery must be dead.
So, I moved the power coord to the "surge-protected only" side of the
power strip...and then the LI-6262 started working again.

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009 Visit:
-------------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Swap N2 cylinder.
Weather: It was snowing lightly most of the day. Most of the time not
much wind, but there was the occasional burst. Snow in the trees was
nice. About 3-4 inches of new snow overnight.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up a CU prius.
* the chain around our cylinders in front of the trailer was on the
ground and the clip to hold the chain was gone...it also seemed like
the chain on one side had been replaced with a different chain??
i used a rope to hold the chain together...
* John Knowles was servicing the laser and clearing snow off the laser
shed.
* saw some "cat" (lynx?) tracks between como creek and the tower...
---------
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 51 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 68 cm
farthest probe = 72 cm
* span pressure = 1210 psi; N2 = 1850 psi.
* dragged a span cylinder from the front of the trailer out to the
tower (cc153480). Placed this next to the one currently running at
the tower (both are under the blue tarp).
* from around 11:50-13:18 MST, swapped N2 at the tower. (did leak
check during that time). (new cylinder=CC264970 (1850 psi); old
cylinder=CC176242 (approx 0 psi)). Dragged CC176242 back to C1 and
put it in front of the trailer. Tried to position my old shower
curtain over the N2 cylinder to try and keep the snow off the
regulator...
* at around 12:00 MST, adjusted the flow rates for the LI-6262:
pressure flow rate
sample 52.07 9.09
N2 51.59 9.02
span 53.70 9.53
i used the needle valve in the li-6262 box to lower the flow rate of
both span and N2 (to make the span agree better, don't care as much
about N2).
* Checked on the rig for the REBS sensor at the top of the tower...my
kluge seemed to hold up during the strong winds of last week...might
need to get a turnbuckle at some point (or just leave as-is?).
* downloaded logger data:

Friday, January 30th, 2009 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Check on MET logger.
Weather: A bit blustery, but air temp was above freezing. Lots
of new snow in the trees from last time I was at the site. When
i was off-trail the snow was approx knee-deep.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up a CU prius.
* Dean Anderson (USGS) was kind enough to let me borrow a cr23x in
case I needed to swap out the MET logger.
* Can still walk up the power line without the need for skiis or
snowshoes.
---------
* pulled a pine needle out of the rain gauge.
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 54 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 71 cm
farthest probe = 73 cm
* moved power for MET logger to 12 V power supply which is being used
for the NCTC logger. MET logger up and running again at 13:42 MST.
Note: red wire = +12V, green wire = ground.
* note, met logger (chan 204) died on 1/25:

Subject: CR23X
Mr. Burns:
You can reset the CR23X, as you stated in the *A Mode and the 5th
window type 98765 and hit the A key. It will take about 15 minutes to
reset, so walk away for a time. You can go on our web page and get the
latest operating system for the CR23X if you don't have it all
ready. OS 19 is the latest version. Use Device Configuration Utility
to down load the OS. If I can be of any assistance please contact me.
Rdgs,

---------------------------
* N2 cylinder at tower at 400 psi.
* hauled N2 cylinder CC264970 from trailer front to tower.
* from 15:00-15:50 MST, switched span gas at the tower (new
cylinder=SG9151924 (1400 psi); old cylinder=CC282376 (approx 100
psi)). Note that SG9151924 was originally going to be used at
the east robot.
* from 15:24 - 15:44 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
- at 15:24 MST, did zero (value is approx 0.001 mV).
- at 15:42, did zero + blow test (ok).
(zero is approx -0.003 mV, span could not do since swapping cylinder).
- at 15:44, back to auto mode. flow rate at ~13.
NOTE: need to re-do the swagelock fittings...the fitting one one side
is trashing the threads on the dessicant tube. Need to REPLACE!!
* on 2/4/09 updated the programs:

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009 Visit:
------------------------------------
At the site: SpB, NT, SL
Purpose of visit: Download logger data.
Weather: Almost, HOT. Unseasonably warm air temps. Clear blue skies.
As we were leaving a few high cirrus clouds were starting to form.
Some gusts of wind from the south, but generally pleasant. Down in
Boulder it was in the 70s F.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up a CU prius.
* Nicole/Stan were collecting sub-surface air samples.
* moose tracks (and scat) all over the place near como creek crossing.
* a lot of the exposed areas are snow-free. Walk up the power line
was half on dirt half on snow.
---------
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 37 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 50 cm
farthest probe = 32 cm
* gas cylinder pressures: N2= 700 psi, span= 320 psi.
* confirmed that there is an extra dessicant tube in the bowling shed.
* noticed that the cable for the REB Rnet logger had come loose...need
a new turnbuckle. probably need to re-do the way these booms are held
in place...
* downloaded logger data and reset cr23x clocks (no time problems, all
were within 30 seconds). files:

Friday, January 16th, 2009 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Travel to T-van for AIRCOA service. Go
to tower to download logger data (if time).
Weather: Clear and sunny and warm. Wind picked up as the day went on,
but a very nice day from mid-January. Snow warmed up during the day.
There was an ice-crust coming down.
--------- Misc Notes:
* borrowed an EOL jeep liberty for the trip up.
* Andy Watt gave me the replacement micropump, crimper, + some
backup pins. Grabbed podocarp from the trailer + misc tools.
* carried ski's up to C1 and then skied from there. Snow coverage
above C1 was good, but there were a few bare spots. The trip from C1
to T-van took a bit over 2.5 hours. Coming down took about 1:15.
---------
* arrived at the site at around 13:00 MST. Connected to AIRCOA-A via
a serial cable. Notes on the connection:
- There is a separate network cable that goes from the AIRCOA to the
network. To connect to the AIRCOA with the serial cable (via port
2), a null modem is needed.
- Using hyperterm the settings need to be:
- from the hyperterm window it was possible to log into external
computers via ssh. BUT, need IP addresses.
Note: gate.ucar.edu = 192.43.244.60
* confirmed that the purple "flywheel" on the micropump was not
turning.
* started the rrelay software with "./rr_job". Note, at first this
did not work because the aircoa software was not running (duh). So,
re-activate the aircoa program by:
* did a reboot to make sure everything re-started cleanly.
* after confirming the sample flow rate was zero (ie, sample voltage
output is approx 1.0 V), did a "high-pressure" leak check with the
current pump in place. It worked out to be around

Monday, January 5th, 2009 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Download logger data and check on the N2 cylinder.
Weather: Strong gusty winds. Sometimes they were upslope or
from the south. A nice wave cloud was sitting to the east of
the divide at various locations throughout the day. Blowing
snow up at the divide. At times clear and sunny. At times
calm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up a CU prius.
* Happy New Year!
* a lot of the exposed areas are snow-free. Walk up the power line
was half on dirt half on wind-crusted snow. there was a layer of
needles/twigs just below the upper snow surface.
---------
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 23 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 34 cm
farthest probe = 36 cm
* gas cylinder pressures: N2= 1200 psi, span= 500 psi.
* downloaded logger data and reset cr23x clocks (no time problems, all
were within 30 seconds). files:

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 Visit:
-------------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: To swap out the N2 cylinder and download
some logger data.
Weather: a bit on the chilly side, but the winds were reasonable.
Some strong downslope gusts from time-to-time. Still some fresh
snow in the trees that was blowing around at times....
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up a CU prius.
* snow is about mid-shin and fluffy.
---------
* snow depths:
closest to tree = 25 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 36 cm
farthest probe = 35 cm
* swapped N2 cylinder. Old cylinder CC262287 at approx 0 psi.
New cylinder CC176242 at 1800 psi.
leak check from around 1:30-2:30pm...it didn't hold quite as well as i
would have liked. initially there seemed to be a "major" leak...i
tried using snoop, but that does not work very well when it's so
cold...after using the snoop (could not find a problem) and re-doing
the fitting the leak seemed to go away ??. i wondered if the leak was
not at the main connection to the cylinder...
* downloaded logger data (no time problems, updated the times on all
loggers; synched to russter2 time. NCTC was off by approx 2 minutes,
slow):

Hi Jeff,
thanks for taking care of the forestcam photos. you'll have to show
me the program and also how you are archiving these data....or send me
an email with this info would be fine too.
i've been looking at the recent logger data...and it appears that
there is a large time gap in the "soil11_12.dat" file....ie, if you
look on russter2 at the file:

Note that on day 309 (Tuesday 4 Nov) at 1440 there is a large gap in
the data...and/or the time jumps. From the calendar it looks like no
one was up at the site that day...Did you happen to check that the
time/date is ok when you downloaded the data on Nov 12th (or on Nov
20th)? Was there anything strange that happened with the download on
Nov 12th? Based on the last row in the soil11_12.dat datafile you
should have downloaded these data on 12 Nov at around 14:20 MST. Does
that sound approx correct?
the battery voltage for the soil logger looks ok, but this could also
be a warning sign that the soil logger battery is starting to have
problems...
Noah, i'm cc'ing you since it sounds like you are at the site on Tue
Nov 11th (day 316). Can you confirm which days you were up at the
site so I can add this info to the calendar...also, a brief summary of
what you did would be nice so we can add this info to the logbook.
jeff, how did the map turn out? i'm planning to stop by tomorrow
morning and we can take a look at this if you are going to be
around...
thanks,
SpB.

Hi Sean.
I noticed this gap in the soil data when I was downloading the file on
11/12...Sorry about forgetting to mention this to you. Not sure what
to say about it. Nothing out of the ordinary happened and the
time/date looked fine on 11/12 and 11/20. And yes, you are correct
that I downloaded these data in the afternoon of 11/12, and I remember
checking on the "monitor" screen that the time of the last row in the
data file matched the time the file finished downloading.
I'll come by tomorrow too and we can look at the GPS data some more
and I'll give you the run down of how I process and archive the
forestcam photos.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the site: Jeff, Nicole
Weather: decent day, a little chilly but mostly sunny
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* N2 @ 1450, span @ 1075
* grabbed soil and tcs data
* tried new snow temp probe with a terminal strip connection instead of the
amp connector (see details): there seems to be a problem with getting enough
power through the smaller wires of the extension to the larger wires of
the probe, i.e. when everything was connected the probe worked only
intermittently
* got some GPS data around the tower (see details): borrowed the new Trimble
GPS from LTER and brought it out to the tower for the day. Got four corner
points for each of the towers (main, canopy, north canopy); got several spots
along the trail between the main tower and the north canopy tower, including
one spot that is adjacent to the soil logger; got a point for each of the
sonic snow depth sensors.
Note: the GPS was not working too well today. It only worked in mid-afternoon.
There is a desktop computer (from Todd Ackerman) in the LTER lab that should
be used for downloading data from the new Trimble unit.
* brought the suitcase that was in the shed out to the robot

* N2 @ 1610, span @ 1150
* cleaned the krypton
* transferred our last amp connector to the snow temp probe that is known to
be working; connected this probe to the mrs logger and sent mrs_03c.dld to the
logger but the probe was not working; when we tested this probe during our
last visit I wired the probe's leads directly into the logger; on this visit
the probe was connected to the 75 foot extension I prepared for it...we
checked the wires in the extension with the multimeter and found that two of
the four wires have infinite resistance...something is wrong either with the
cable itself or the connections at the amp connector pins...probably at the
pins because the cable is new

Site trip on Sunday, October 19, 2008
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the site: Jeff, Maggie, Sean, Nicole, Stan, and Maggie's two dogs, Flurry
and Harley.
Weather: a pretty nice day with temps in the upper 50s and clear skies in the
morning, a very brief snow flurry mid-afternoon
Misc: Flurry and Harley helped Maggie carrie stuff around the forest while she
was taking dendrometer band measurements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Installed the new soil moisture sensors (cs-616s) and re-deployed some of
the cs-615 sensors in new locations so that each one is co-located with a
snow depth sensor (see details)...details are forthcoming
* N2 cylinder was at approx 1830 psi (so leak is most likely in the N2 zero
cal of the LI-6262)
* made an amp connector extension with 75 ft. of cable for one of the new soil
temp sensors, but the sensor didn't seem to work...maybe not the same one
we tested at the mrs logger? We tested one new probe and it seemed to work.
I thought this probe was back in the shed but I couldn't find it there. We
had a different but similar probe out from the trailer but it didn't seem
to work like the probe we previously tested. Need to figure out where the
first probe went...

594: equipment purchases, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 21-Oct-2008 11:56:42 MDT, 5.6m C-SAT3 re-cal and rain upgrade
On Friday, October 10, I mailed the 5.6m csat (s/n 0328, RMA 7881) back to
Campbell for a re-cal and the rain upgrade. They receievd the sonic on Tuesday, Oct. 14.
They estimated a 2 week turn around for this.
On Tuesday, October 21 I called to check on the sonic's status. Sasha (a male
sonic engineer) told me:
They discovered some issue with one of the transducers while the sonic was in
their calibration chamber. They are doing further tests in the calibration
chamber to determine whether the transducer needs to be replaced. If the sonic
comes out of the chamber later today and everything looks okay they will ship
the sonic back to us tomorrow, with Friday looking like a probable arrival day. If, however, the calibration still looks unstable they will replace the
questionable transducer and the sonic will ship Friday, probably getting back
to us next Monday or Tuesday (Oct 27 or 28).

* brought up the last two cylinders from Ramaley, both span, CC153480
and CC245057
* N2 (CC125575) bled almost dry since Tuesday! a leak somewhere in the
system...retired this cylinder
* see below for Sean's notes on the leak...
* started new N2 cylinder CC262287 at 1850 psi
* span @ 1250 psi
* swapped the mag. perch. and indicator tube at the LI-6251
* an e-mail from Sean to Andrew Turnipseed on Friday, 10/17/08:
...after taking a look in the LI-6262 box yesterday it looks like only one
of the two smaller parker valves on the left side of the box is actually
being used...I think this means we could replace the valve on the far
left side with an elbow and use that valve as a spare if we need to. I know
you are busy with lots of other things, but I wanted to give you a quick
update about what happened yesterday and if you have any ideas/suggestions
I would be glad to hear them...unfortunately I forgot to bring your notebook
with all the diagrams (i'll try to remember to bring that next time i'm in
the trailer)...I think i was able to figure most of it out by looking
at it...here are some details about what happened:
1. when jeff went up on Tuesday the N2 calibrations "magically"
started working again...the cals had been having problems for the past
3-4 days where the flow rate would go way down during the N2 part of
the cal. the span part of the cal seemed to be ok. the cal at 8 AM
that morning had this same problem, but the one at noon was ok (which
was before Jeff had done anything except go up the tower to download
logger data). After the noon calibration worked, jeff checked it
manually at the box and it still worked fine. The N2 cylinder was at
700 psi on Tuesday. I suspect when he walked up the tower it shook
the box, so that some connection in the box moved and then it started
working again....i don't have any other explaination for why it
suddenly started working again...
2. the cals appear to have kept on working fine since tuesday...but
when we were at the site yesterday the N2 cylinder was near zero psi.
(there was still 20 psi on the line side of the regulator).
So it appears that we have a leak in the N2-part of the system
somewhere...i have assumed this leak is not in the flow through the
reference cells unless it is before (or at) the needle valve in the
LI-6251 box....if there was a leak downstream of that needle valve
then it would be the same as the normal flow that goes through those
reference cells (plus the needle valve drops the pressure so most of
those connections are at low pressure)...
one other note that seems relevant/important: as i was tightening wa
loose screw in the LI-6262 box i felt a buzz/burning in my hand...the
entire back metal panel of that box is "hot". So i suspect there is a
short somewhere...this might explain part of what is going on. We
tested this by putting the multi-meter between the terminal strip (the
one just to the left of the flow meter in the photo) and the back
panel and it showed 120VAC. testing the relays everything seemed to
be ok (ie, the 120VAC would get passed through there as it should be)...
in an effort to isolate the leak we left everything hooked up, but
capped off the line before it went into the N2 line on the top of the
LI-6262 box (see photo). This was to check whether or not there was
an internal leak or not in any of the fittings within the box....and
it appears that N2 is typically within the line from the 2nd valve on
the right up until the 2-way big blue galtek valve. This is because
the smaller parker valve is normally-open in this configuration. . .
anyway, we are going to try and get the leak isolated and then we can
better figure out what's going on from there...If we isolate the leak
to somewhere inside the LI-6262 box and can't figure out where it is,
we may pull the box and take it back to the trailer and then really
start ripping it apart (depends on the weather)...i'll list a few more
things we checked below...sorry for the long-winded email!
SpB.
1. did a leak check on the tubing going from the N2 cylinder up to the
boxes (capped the lines at the boxes). This seemed ok, but maybe
we did not let it sit long enough...at least there did not seem to
be a major leak.
2. removed the dessicant/soda lime attached to the N2 regulator.
3. checked dekaron tubing running up the tower from the N2 for any
obvious wear/cracks, etc...didn't notice anything obvious.
4. tried to snoop all the fittings with high-pressure N2. (didn't find
anything obvious).
5. re-tightened all tees/fittings going from the N2 cylinder up to the
LI-COR boxes. Removed one extraneous tee for N2 that went into the
LI-6262 box (I think this was probably a remanant of an old
configuration of the system). Rather than use this TEE/line ran
the dekabon tubing directly in the fitting at the top of the box.
6. in an effort to isolate the problem we kept the system running with
everything connected in the LI-6251 box, but with only the ref gas
running through the LI-6262 box (capped the line going into the N2
calibration).
* things left to do/check:
1. replace all dekaron tubing.
2. I have assumed that any leak behind the needle valve (in the
LI-6251 box) would not bleed the N2 cylinder excessively (so do
not need to worry about leaks downstream of this needle
valve)....need to check the needle valve more carefullly...it's
possible the leak could be at the needle valve or just before it.
3. try to figure out why there is a short in the LI-6262 box. Has
it always been like this?

Site visit on Tuesday, October 14, 2008
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the site: Jeff, Nicole
Weather: cold, about 28F when we got up to the trailer, and sunny until midday
when the sky became very overcast, looked like it might snow but never did
Misc: still about 4 inches of snow on the ground around C1 and the tower from
Sunday's snow storm
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* brought up 1 new N2 cylinder and 1 new span cylinder to the trailer from
Ramaley
* swapped 15 flasks at the west robot then changed it to "winter mode"
(i.e. 4 flasks every two weeks)
- to do this I did *0, *4A, AAAAAAAAA (nine more As), 1A (this combo
switches from 15 flasks to 4 flasks, with 0 for summer and 1 for winter
- then I did *0, *4A, 14A, *0 (in this combo the 14 is for bi-weekly
sampling instead of weekly sampling, and the *0 at the end enters both
new entries...notice how there is no *0 at the end of the first entry)
- BE CAREFUL not to hit *0 until after both entries are made because *0
updates the program on the logger (effectively power cycling the logger
just as if you pulled the green power plug)
* downloaded from soil, UC, UCB, nctc and prof
* fired up the mrs logger and Noah's logger, sent mrs_03b.dld to the mrs logger
* span @ 1250 psi, N2 @ 700 psi
* from ~1:55-1:58 MDT did a manual N2 calibration of the EC system to test
the N2 flow rate
* about the solenoid valves in the LI-6262 box:
- Of the three smaller valves, two are identical and one is unique. This
unique valve is the one that sits between the two big blue valves. This
unique valve comes from Parker, with part number 9-823-900, VAC-100 PSIG.
The two identical, slightly larger valves, which sit in the upper left
corner of the box share the same part number (obviously) but I could not
read all of it. What I could see was Parker, 4-209-???. These also have
specs of VAC-100 PSIG. The rest of the part number on these two valves was
wrapped around to the far side of the valve so I couldn't see all of it.
As for the two blue valves, there is no brand name on them. One of these
valves has part number 203-3414-415 with VAC 115 and s/n 1508019. The
other has part number 203-1414-415 with VAC 115 and s/n 1501018.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* finished par wand removal at grove 3
* SpB connected all 8 new CS-616s to soil logger 416 mux, started IC
(see notes for details)
* from 12:15-12:30 MST, removed 5.6m csat (sn 0328) from mini-tower
* JB, MP and AW hauled most of the PAR equipment out of the forest and back to
CU (stored mostly in the "cool" room with the fridge)

At the site: Jeff, Sean, Maggie, Nicole, Amy Watson
Weather: cooler, some wind (especially at the top of the ladder), and now most
of the aspen leaves around the site have fallen.
Misc: 2 robot suitcases in the shed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* swapped 15 flasks at the west robot
* finished par wand removal at grove 2
* SpB got 5 of the CS616s working and calibrating in some soil near the
soil logger
-in the program he had to account for the addition of another mux, and I
think there was a grounding issue as well...Each probe has a ground wire and
a shield wire that together go to a "shield" port on the mux, but it seems
that these shield ports also have to be physically grounded to the mux's
main GND port, which is located with the 12V, CLK and RES ports...so SpB
connected the shield port he used to the main GND port with some wire

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* JB, SpB and MP finished removing the PAR wands from grove 1 and started
work on grove 2, hauled the adam and some other par equipment back to
the trailer
* SpB troubleshot the CS616s some more...I think this has to continue because
the probes still aren't working correctly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* tested the replacement laptop at the tower
* tested some CS616 probes with the soil logger
we followed the wiring scheme of the 615 for our test, i.e.
you can group three probes together into one mux channel, i.e. 3 orange
wires into 1H, 1 green into 1L, 1 green into 2H, and the last green wire
into 2L.
The black and clear wires go together to any shield or GND terminal, and the
red power wire for each probes runs into a terminal strip which is connected
to the 12V OUT terminal on the logger
Here is how we connected the mux to the logger during the test:
MUX WIRE LOGGER
--- ---- ------
12V red power out 12V
GND black power out ground
RES green C2
CLOCK blue C3
COM 2H red SE 8

-----------------------------------
At the site: JB, SpB, NT.
Purpose of visit: try calibrating a LI-7500.
Weather: sunny and warm...clear skies. classic fall
day.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the grey jeep.
* there was a pine tree that looked like it was a beetle-kill right by
como creek. we took a few photos and the holes for the beetle (if
that's what they are) are quite small.
* nicole was doing soil respiration.
---------
* hauled an N2 cylinder (number??) from the trailer out to the tower
* from XX:XX-XX:XX, changed profiler (li-6251) desiccant
from XX:XX-XX:XX, turned off pump
from XX:XX-XX:XX, blow test
* tested out calibration of LI-7500 (using LI-610)
- the LI-610 was borrowed from Dave Bowling (utah)
- at 12:49 MST, LI-610 T= 17.62 degC.
- when we tried to change the "temperature set" knobs on
the front panel of the LI-610 nothing would happen...it
was fixed at 0 degC.
- created two files with 1-hz LI-7500 data (this is done with a
data-logging feature on the LI-7500 software). The datafiles
are:
69231 Sep 16 13:30 /data/projects/NIWOT/data_logger/licor_cal.dat*
146016 Sep 16 14:01 /data/projects/NIWOT/data_logger/licor_cal_b.dat*
- the events are:
In file: licor_cal.dat
at 13:20 MST, started running zero air through the LI-7500
at 13:25 MST, flowed co2 from s-m cylinder JJ23865, nominal 448 ppm)
through the LI-7500
In file: licor_cal_b.dat (started at 13:32 MST)
at 13:32 MST, flowed co2 from JJ23865
at 13:36 MST, disconnected. regulator at 2 psi (this might be N2?).
at 13:38 MST, increased regulator pressure to 5 or 6 psi.
at 13:39 MST, disconnected.
at 14:42 MST, connected LI-610 at 27 mmol/mol h2o.
Tdew started at 18 deg then went down to zero. then
overshot zero and came back up. went down to around
Tdew = -5 degC.
- after returning to campus tried to use LI-610 again and still
could not set the Temperature. After consulting with Dave B.,
we sent it back to LI-COR for a re-cal.
* re-made TC connected to soil logger (am25t mux, chan_20)
* swapped 15 flasks at the west robot

Weather: sunny, cooler
* brought two more N2 cylinders up to the site from Ramaley and stocked
these at the tower
* snapped new phenology pics
* started a leak check in the trailer with the new co2 regulator
(i.e. new stem and nipple)
* swapped 15 flasks at the west robot
* N2 @ 700 psi, span @ 150 psi
* swapped span cylinders (retired cc199497, started cc282376 @ 1925 psi)
* swapped moisture trap and indicator at the LI-6251
(zero was at 0.100, so I re-zeroed it to 0.000)

Monday, August 11th, 2008 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB/JB, SH/SL.
Purpose of visit: swap out quacker (testing). robot.
Weather: There were puddles on the road so probably some rain the
previous night---Big CuNimbus clouds around (esp up near the divide).
Thought it would rain, but it was actually a bit sunny and nice for
most of the day. It did rain at around 2:30'ish...
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the teal jeep---there was some slight problem where
anti-freeze/coolant came out while we were parked at MRS. checked the
radiator and it seemed full there (though the res. was empty).
* stan was doing soil respiration.
---------
* started ops46; this was moving the 2-d handar from the UC logger to
the UCB logger. New programs were written for each logger (need to
get details about the programs). Here are some details:

first data file: aster 20881790 Aug 11 18:00 /data/projects/NIWOT/raw_data/all/nwt080811.183204
last data file:
* moved the 2-d handar at 1.5m from UC logger (chan200 at 10-hz) to
the UCB logger (chan202 at 1-hz).
* before starting ops46 a replacement quacker laptop (a dell inspiron
7500) was tested. the files "nwt080811.174648" and "nwt080811.181027"
are using the replacement quacker laptop. the data are not coming in
at quite a high enough sample rate, ie:

so I'm suspecting the issue is getting the data from the quacker over
to russter2...this problem might be due to the old network pcmcia card
that we were using with the new quacker (it's my old card from the
late 1990s)???

575: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 12-Aug-2008 08:59:11 MDT, site visit on Friday, August 8th, 2008 (SpB, JB, LL)
Friday, August 8th, 2008 Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, LL.
Purpose of visit: swap out quacker (testing).
Weather: Sunny at the tower; socked in down on the plains
for most of the day. A HUGE cap cloud up on the divide. Thought
it might rain, but the weather stayed nice all day.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Took up the teal jeep (grey jeep still at the shop).
* LL was working on PAR/Tsoil network.
---------
* at 10:00 MST, put an approx 4 deg angle on KZ PAR sensor (low
end toward North, high end toward South).
* at approx 11 MST, swiped krypton hygrometer.
* used sextant to site prop-vanes. (add details here):
* tried to check on soil moisture probes N1/N2 (to confirm which one
was at which depth). They are buried very deeply and this was not
going to be easy without completely digging up these sensors. So rather
than completely disturb the soil we left them as-is. The connections
at the soil logger are:
N1 = chan23
N2 = chan24
* strung up a section of steel cable over the MRS snow temp
probes (the fishing line had broken).
* tried to figure out where the problem was with the broken probe
(probe#2/Tb/"far sensor from tree"). the clock port was showing 5V
(and the other two sensors showed approx 0.4 V). When we disconnected
the wires then the clock port was fine...we found a short between the
clock wire (black) and power/+5V wire (red). So we disconnected the
sensor from the wire and the short dis-appeared. (this indicates the
short is internal to the sensor).
called MRC (253.851.3200) and talked to Pat Martka (who sent the
original fax to Mark Loseleben). They still make these sensors and
are going to get back to me with some other ideas about possibly
fixing this one.
* tried to check on the intermittent TC connected to soil logger
am25t, but they all appeared to be working??
21, at +20cm, located closest to tree snowT probes, 48cm North of "tree" probe (A3537).
22, at -20cm, located between tree and mid snowT probes, 118cm North of "tree" probe and -35cm from mid probe (A3537).
channels added on 10/30/07:
23, at 0cm, located between mid and far snowT probes, 67cm from "mid" probe (A3537).
24, at -20cm, located closest to tree snowT probes, 48cm North of "tree" probe (A3537).
25, at -20cm, located between mid and far snowT probes, 67cm from "mid" probe (A3537).
* when i was checking the am25t, chan20 had a loose wire which i
re-attached. Also, reconnected chan21 since this was giving
intermittent data.
* brought N2 cylinder CC262308 back to campus.

Subject: gray Jeep
Hi everyone.
A few of us met on campus this morning (Mon. 8/4) to take the Jeep to
Niwot Ridge and discovered two flat tires. The front right tire is
totally deflated and the rear right tire is on its way. Does anyone
know anything about this? Did anyone use the Jeep over the weekend
and/or notice low tire pressure at any time recently ?
We are bringing the Jeep down to the motor pool in a little bit so the
two tires can be repaired. We'll have the green Jeep for today and
most likely will have to return it tomorrow morning and get the gray
Jeep back (which should be fixed by then).
Jeff
the "mystery" as to what happened has not been solved.
* stan and sam were doing soil respiration.
---------
* at approx 12:30 MST, Changed profiler (li-6251) dessicant
* note, my watch is around 10 seconds slow (relative to russter2 time).
* from 11:30-11:45, messed around with the 16m prop-vane. From approx
11:50-11:55 the prop vane was pointed directly along the boom.
-- note, we were connected to the met logger with a laptop so we
don't have any WD data for the time period we did this. (need
to re-do).
* from 12:23-12:24 MST, fixed the 25m prop-vane. at 12:24 MST, held
prop to create a short period of zero WS. a look at the
WD data shows the stats to be:
mean(WD) = 379.407 = 19.407 (if remove 360), std dev= 0.975
* once we know the direction relative to the boom then we just
need to determine boom directions (with Steve Oncleys sextant).
* from 12:44-12:50 MST, messed around with flow rates and pressures
for the LI-6262/EC system. details:
sample span N2
at 12:44 MST, Pres 54 54.9 60.3
Flow 8.55 8.72 9.84
decreased N2 pressure slightly (from 20-18 psi) then get:
(and maybe a small tweak to the needle valve??)
sample span N2
at 12:49 MST, Pres 54.2 55.13 55.29
Flow 8.52 8.72 8.81
* slow ozone (TECO) pump was dead...here's the info:

HI Andrew,
on june 12th we turned on the TECO system and it was running
fine...looking at the co-var voltages the pump died 10 days later
early in the morning on 22 june. you can double-check it, but it was
definitely not moving air yesterday...
that pump seemed a bit pricey to me, so thanks for the warning about
this. there's a slim chance i'm going up on thursday, but i will
definitely be up on friday.
if you need me to order anything or do something else to help
with the ozone replacement pump just let me know...
thanks,
SpB.

Subject: Re: Scheduling electrical work
Hi all
A new warming experiment is being started at the MRS this summer. It
requires a few changes to our current power setup, these changes are
estimated to take about 6 weeks durring which time there will be many power
outages above C1. I have been told that nothing at C1 will be affected.
Below I have made a short list of users who may be affected by these
outages. Please respond with any concerns you may have regarding timing and
duration of these power outages, and pass along to anyone I may have missed.
The equipment I have at the Soddie, and Saddle can have a maximum power
outage of 2 days and still be operational.

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB, MP/JH/CB, NT/SL.
Purpose of visit: PAR wands.
Weather: Overcast in the morning. Then some rumbles of thunder in the
afternoon and a quick rain shower. (we hid out in the USGS "hut").
--------- Misc Notes:
* Jeff is on vacation.
---------
* tried to help with the wands. We swapped out a card at Grove 1, and
then moved the ladder over to grove 2 (and got started on one of the
trees there).
* note, Gordon set things up so the "grove" data are archived on
russter2. Then each night (or morning) they are copied down to NCAR.
the files look something like:

Monday, July 21st, 2008 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB, MP/SH/CB/RaM, NT/SL.
Purpose of visit: replace filters in EC/li-6262 system.
Weather: hot in the morning and then cool and cloudy in
the afternoon (seems like the Monsoon has started).
--------- Misc Notes:
* Jeff is on vacation.
---------
* messed with the flow rates/filters for the LI-6262.
- at 11:38 MST, the flow rate was around 6.45 (lpm?).
disconnected the pump at the side of the LI-6262 box.
disconnected the tubing from sample IN/OUT and connected
these together (to prevent dust, etc from entering sample cell).
- from 11:40-12:02 MST, replaced the 2-micron NuPro filters
at the inlet and also in the LI-6262 box. Note, I first
did the inlet and that did not make a big change in the flow
rate. However, replacing the one in the box caused the
flow rate to increase dramatically.
- at 12:07 MST, i re-adjusted the needle valve for the N2/span
to increase the flow during cals (which i had decreased on
friday).
- at 12:09, back to sample...results from 12:10 MST cal:
Pressure mV Flow
sample 54.2 8.59
span 58 9.75
N2 56.6 8.65
* swapped flasks at the west robot.

Subject: shed rules at Niwot
Sean - can you please forward this to anyone you can think of who might
be users of the shed?
Thanks,
DB
Hi all,
We have had some inadvertent problems with users of the shed at the CU
flux tower. The shed is there for one reason - to house the TDL so that
high-quality measurements can be made. The quality of measurements is
being compromised by users of the shed, so hopefully some information
will help. Please share this email with anyone in your group who might
be inclined to use the shed.
1) You may store things in the shed. It's ok to be inside - your
presence does not cause problems. It's ok to use the internet
connection inside (labelled "outside world"). If you're at the site
overnight you are welcome to sleep inside (if you can fit), you can use
it to get out of the rain, eat your lunch, etc. But you _must _follow
the rules below.
2) Please NEVER leave the doors open. This causes temperature-related
problems and most data are bad when the doors are open. Please don't
second-guess me on this because you think it's too hot inside or
something. Keep the doors shut unless you are moving through them.
3) Please NEVER touch the TDL (the big white instrument inside). NEVER
set anything on it, bump it, kneel on it, sit on it, etc. Bumping by
shed-users recently caused the TDL to be knocked out of optical
alignment, which is a problem that requires me to visit from Utah to fix.
4) If you do accidentally bump it, please email me immediately and tell
me so. I can check the alignment from Utah and I'd much rather know
about it than lose a month of data.
5) Be very careful not to kick the regulator pressure knobs on the gas
tanks that are on the floor inside.
6) Please minimize vibration while inside the shed.
Thanks for your help!

had his sign up and was running his pump. Parked below C1 (near the
meadow).
* D. Bowling was improving the ventilation in the shed and also moving
around some of the laser inlets.
* Jeff is on vacation.
---------

- at 11:30 MST, did zero (value is approx 0.006 mV).
- at 11:46, did zero + blow test (ok).
(zero is approx 0.001 mV, span is approx 1.378 mV).
- at 11:48, back to auto mode. flow rate at ~15.
* at 11:51 MST, tightened up the span/N2 valve in the LI-6262
box..this brought down the flow rate during the LI-6262 cals to
approx 6.45 which is what it is during the sampling (and seems too
low).
* did a (very) short stint of work on tram (SO was also there working
on tram).

Weather: Don't recall.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up in the CU suburban (extra one for the flux class).
* helped SO at tram in the afternoon
* the summer "flux" class at MRS started this morning.
---------
* brought the N2 cylinder (CC193097) from Como Creek out to the flux
tower, and brought a new span cylinder (CC282376) from the trailer
to the tower. Note that CC193097 belongs to Kurt Chowanski---need
to check if he wants it back or we should return it to airgas
ourselves??
* also brought co2 cylinder (CC282376) airgas value= 405.3 ppm out
to the tower (it's lying on the pallete inside the fence).
* from 10:30-11:15 MST, replaced the ec gast pump. The old pump is still
usable, but Andrew said the GAST pump with the ozone flux system was
fried so thought that he could use the old pump and we'll use the
new one (note, the flow rate is still rather low for the EC system).
* at 11:30 MST, cleaned the krypton optics
* at 11:45 MST, connected power to fan for 2.5m REBs Rnet sensor (used
a regulated 12V ac/dc cube for this to try and minimize stressing
the ucb cr23x logger and battery).

Misc. notes: drove up to C1 in the Jeep; encountered a large black bear on the
road heading down from C1, down by the "short steep section," in some aspens
near a clearing on the north side of the road. This was a healthy looking bear
but it did not seem aggressive. When we got closer for a better look it
quickly made its way to the far side of the clearing and headed for the woods
to the north of the road. Great sighting so close to the trailer.

Jeff,
My question was whether you noticed any air flow in the tubing while
you were changing the inlets?? (assuming the big pump was left
"on")...if you did notice air getting sucked into the tubing then that
would tell us that the knf pump at the base of the tower was running
at that time...if you did NOT notice air being drawn in, then that
would indicate the pump was probably dead at that point...the suction
is not super-strong, but can be noticeable (you can check it for
yourself sometime by putting your finger over an inlet)...
anyway, i was just trying to pin-point what date the KNF pump died...

Subject: extention cords at the CU tower...
Hi,
quick update--today we coiled up four 100' extention cords that were
running from the North canopy tower out to the PAR site from last
summer (i'm not sure who these belong to, eol or maggie?)...if they
need to be returned to eol let me know and i'll bring them back to
NCAR. i assume that these cords were not needed in that location and
probably better to take them out of the weather, etc.
we also coiled up three 100' extention cords that were running east of
the tower (jia was using these). note: there is still one cord that
runs to the east of the tower (it's a thick black cable)...and one
orange 100' extention cord sitting out by the end of the black
cord...if you follow the black cord east from the tower you will find
the end in a tree, ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/080703/pic00026.jpg
the seven coiled 100' extention cords are in a green garbage can that
is right behind dave bowlings shed, ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/080703/pic00029.jpg
bottom line: we have LOTS of extention cords at the site and you
probably don't need to buy any new ones....also, i did not move the
extention cords that are going from the main tower to the "north
tower" (ie, the tower that lynette installed last summer). i assume
these are going to be used at some point...i noticed that this string
of extention coords (i think it was at least six 100' cords) was not
running anything, but it was plugged in...i unplugged it. if you are
not using a power cable, it's probably best to unplug it...
Jeff and i also found what looked like a dog bowl along the trail near
como creek..it had what looked like a mix of dog food and pine needles
in a plastic bag in the bowl...not sure where it came from, but we
threw away the dog food/pine needles and left the dog-bowl in the
trailer. i suggest that we not leave dog food, people food, etc
anywhere that is accessible by the wildlife in the area...
also, as we were leaving, jeff, stan and i saw a fairly large-size
black BEAR just before the steep part of the road (a bit below
C1)...so there is a bear in the neighborhood. i have a few photos of
the bear which i'll upload next time i'm up in the trailer...

Thursday, June 19th, 2008 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB
Purpose of visit: swipe krypton, move 2.5 REBs sensor and finish the
setup of in-canopy radiation sensors.
Weather: Hot. It felt like July...there were a few gusts of wind, but
generally calm weather. Some nice Cu clouds in the afternoon...
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the CU suburban (grey jeep is in alamosa with Amy).
* Hauled up the 40' ladder that is going to get used this summer...we
carried it out to near the tower.
* had a short discussion with Duane about calibrating gas cylinders...
---------
* was able to connect to the LI-7500 at 2.5m...note, you need a null
modem to go along with the connection cable they give you (or you need
the special cable from LI-COR). We check the AGC value (around 65).
Cleaning the optics did not change this value much. We swapped the
small desiccant/soda lime canisters as per the instruction manual.
* moved the 2.5m PAR sensors at the mini-tower (since tram plans to
use this tower). We decided to put some cross-bars in a tree and then
mount the radiation sensors across these bars. It's not ideal, but
it's the best solution we could come up with and still use the same
logger, not mount a new tower, etc.
* tested out Steve onlceys sextant...it seemed to give values that
were in very close agreement with angles from the map i made of the
area.
* cleaned krypton optics
* replaced all of the profiler inlet filters
* swapped desiccant at the profiler, blow test and zero both good

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, SL, SH
Purpose of visit: mess around with the LI-7500, power
for forestcam and swap flasks.
Weather: Calm and pleasant. Clouds built up in the
afternoon and there was a brief rain shower.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the CU suburban (grey jeep is in alamosa with Amy).
* Stan and Sam were finishing up some soil respiration measurements.
* the snow is basically gone. it is still possible to find a few
patches in the forest. the mosquitos have arrived.
* ran into John Knowles who saw a mooose right after we talked
to him.
* Forest service people (MIke Ryans group) were out doing stuff.
* there is a bunch of crap in the trailer from Noah Fierers group...no
on told us about this??...
---------
* connected with "plumwood" to the network at the bowling shed.
worked with no problems.
* was able to connect to the LI-7500 at 2.5m (sn 75H-0082)...note, you need
a null modem to go along with the connection cable they give you (or you need
the special cable from LI-COR). We check the AGC value (before 69%, after
64%). Cleaning the optics did not change this value much. We swapped the
small desiccant/soda lime canisters as per the instruction manual.
* moved the 2.5m PAR sensors at the mini-tower (since tram plans to
use this tower). We decided to put some cross-bars in a tree and then
mount the radiation sensors across these bars. It's not ideal, but
it's the best solution we could come up with and still use the same
logger, not mount a new tower, etc.
* swapped a full set of robot flasks (done=1). I believe this
is the first full swap of the season.
* disconnected power from both the cr10x and the MRS logger cr10 (at
the North Canopy tower).
* downloaded logger data:

calibration system and procedure, and gave us a high-quality standard to
test the accuracy of our system...plan to do this next visit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* span @ 840 psi, N2 @ 1525 psi
* brought 2 empty N2 cylinders back to Ramaley from the trailer
* performed some maintenance on the robot, started summer weekly sampling:
> replaced all o-rings in the ultra-torr fittings, replaced a few missing
ultra-torr ferrules, loaded the robot with 15 flasks, started summer weekly
sampling
> to go from winter (i.e. 4 flasks) to summer (i.e. 15 flasks) sampling, do:
*0, *4A, AAAAAAAAA (that's nine), 0A, *0
> to go from bi-weekly to weekly sampling, do:
*0, *4A, 7A, *0
> NOTE: The "*0" command saves whatever changes were just made and restarts
the logger, thus the program. So, if making both changes together,
omit the "*0" following the first change, then enter it following the
second change and the program will be updated with both changes
simultaneously. After entering "*0" the logger will hang for about 1
minute while it updates the program. You'll see "MODE 00" on the screen.
This is okay. Eventually the logger will start running Table 1 again and
you are good to go. DO NOT ALSO POWER CYCLE THE LOGGER WITH THE LITTLE
GREEN PLUG...The "*0" command effectively does this.

From: Orrie
Subject: Re: monitor for russter2...
This has nothing to do with power but with the fact I stopped the
graphics interface so that Jeff could see if the monitor works in
command-line mode. I totally forgot this does not work with the
UPS and the ups clearly decided to shut the system down after I
did this.
So, Erinn's message, although absolutely true, is irrelevant here.

Sunday, May 4th, 2008 Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check on the
li-6262 flux system.
Weather: Very Sunny and warm. A few wind bursts, but generally
calm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up my own jeep. hiked up the powerline.
* the snow is really starting to go fast---the powerline is nearly
snow-free.
* Kurt and Todd A were up there...trying to get the tundracam up and
running...
---------
* snow depths at snow temp probes:
closest to tree = 73 cm (assuming top tape is 80cm--need to double check)
TP101 461 middle probe = 93 cm
farthest probe = 101 cm
* noticed that the support cable holding up the 25m REBS Q*7 sensor
was detached...it was just loose and had blown over near the boom for
the CNR-1 sensor...it looks like maybe the clip holding the cable to
the boom had come loose (since no parts were missing). I reconnected
and tightened it---this will probably have some small effect on the
alignment of the REBS sensor.
* from 11:42-12:30 MST, swapped out the 2-micron nupro filter at the
inlet for the LI-6262 ec system. the plastic nalgene cover over the
inlet was completely trashed/gone. So, I found a nalgene in the shed
and used that to replace the cover...disconnected the lines in/out of
the LI-6262 so no flow was passing through the li-6262 during filter
swap. ran for about 10 minutes after swapping to try and avoid dust,
etc getting into the cell...sequence:
- at 11:40 MST - did zero, then disconnected LI-6262
with N2, co2 = 175 mV
h2o = 179 mV
sample flow approx 7.77
- from 11:45-12:20 MST made changes, swapped filter
with N2, co2 = 189 mV
h2o = 190 mV
sample flow approx 8.26
- at ~12:30 MST, back to sample
* downloaded all logger data except for UC and UCB (reset time on
all loggers--most all were within 30 sec of russter2 time):

Site visit on Friday, April 18, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the site: JB
Purpose of visit: a few routine tasks (e.g. get snow depths, swap flasks at the
west robot, swap desiccant at the LI-6251, check on the gas cylinders at the
tower), collect needles for Jia, haul some cylinders around, try to make the
21x in the trailer save 5-min avg. data
Weather: warm, sunny, breezy, snow very heavy and very wet
Misc: Drove a Jeep to the Marr Lab and hiked to C1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* swapped 4 flasks at the west robot, hauled back a suitcase to mail to Utah
* hauled empty N2 cylinder CC193045 back to the trailer
* snow depths at snow temp probes:
closest to tree = buried
TP101 461 middle probe = 121 cm
farthest probe = 130 cm
* span @ 1250 psi, N2 @ 1325 psi
* swapped desiccant at the LI-6251:
11:18 MST, 0=0.002
11:38 MST, 0=0.001
* downloaded from soil logger...didn't know if it had been done earlier in the
week so I figured it was worth investigating...soil data had been grabbed on
Tuesday, so there is a small soil file from Friday
* put the SC32B in Noah's logger box
in addition, there is one SC32A on campus, and another SC32A in the trailer
* tried to connect to the 21x in the trailer but couldn't...spent almost 30
minutes trying all possible combinations of serial cable, SC12 cable and
SC32A interface but couldn't connect...power at the logger was fine and the
battery was fine...had trouble connecting to this logger the last time I
wanted to work with it but after about 5 minutes could finally connect...
* brought the storage modules and pcmcia card up to the trailer
* dug out the lowest prof inlet
* NO snow on the 2m REBS Rnet sensor

Site visit on Tuesday, April 15, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the site: JB, SpB, JH
Purpose of visit:
(JH/JB) Needle collections, snow pit, soil collection, 99% 13C experiment
(SpB) a few routine site tasks (e.g. clean krypton optics, get snow depths,
adjust the flow rates in the LI-6262 sample cell), maybe set up the LI-6251 in
the trailer, maybe set up the accelerometers on the tower
Weather: very warm, a bit breezy
Misc: Drove the gray Jeep to the Marr Lab, hiked to C1. Saw a robin on the road
about 200m from the trailer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = covered
TP101 461 middle probe = 111 cm
farthest probe = 118 cm
* at 10:30 MST, fixed power connection for NCTC logger. When the
power supply was moved (on 3/19) from the 1st tower level up to the
platform level (right next to NCTC logger) the wires were still
connected to the green plug at the logger---the far end of the wires
must have touched, shorting out the power. after these wires were
removed from the green plug, everything came back and worked normally.
* at 11:35 MST, swiped krypton hygrometer
* at 11:45 MST, moved 12.5 li-7500 closer to ati sonic
* from ~11:50-11:55 MST, adjusted flow rates in the LI-6262 sample cell
* collected needles from all 18 of Jia's "collection trees"
* dug a snow pit to get a soil sample
* completed one cycle of Jia's 99% 13C experiment on the 10m platform on the
tower
* dumped a pcmcia card at Lucas's computer before hiking up to C1
* swapped pcmcia cards at the mrs logger and dumped those data at Lucas's
computer before leaving the MRS
* logger data downloaded:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the site: JB, SL, NT, Nate M, Chris
Purpose of visit:
(JB) To swap N2 cylinders at the tower (priority), download some logger data,
swap flasks at the west robot, and do a few other small tasks.
(NT, SL, Nate M, Chris--a huge Alaskan) To remove all of the snow exclusion
fencing and do some snow manipulation.
Weather: warm, sunny, calm, but very wet from melting/dripping snow.
Misc. Packed five people (including a huge Alaskan guy named Chris) into the
gray Jeep. Parked at the Marr Lab and hiked to C1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* downloaded from soil, tcs and noah loggers, and swapped pcmcia cards at the
mrs logger
* snow depths at snow temp probes:
closest to tree = 100 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 110 cm
farthest probe = 118 cm
* swapped N2 cylinders at the tower:
Retired cylinder CC193045 @ empty
Started cylinder CC198701 @ 1900 psi
Leak check info:
2:15 MDT 1900 psi
4:15 MDT 1900 psi
* dug out the lowest prof inlet on the mini tower
* confirmed that the new Gelman filters are in a cupboard in the trailer (down
by russter2)
* confirmed that the Gelman filter (new 1/2008) is on the co2 prof inlet on the
tower (but there is no cover over it)...still need to add a soda bottle

Wednesday, March 19, 2008 site visit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the site: JB, SpB, NT, EB, SLS, AW
Purpose of visit:
(JB, SpB) to swap flasks at the west robot, download some logger data, move the
NCTC logger's charging system into the empty Campbell box next to the NCTC
logger, and replace the repaired cr23x UCB logger (remove Jia's 10x).
(NT, EB, SLS, AW) to work at NT's snow manipulation plots in the eastern
forest
Weather: very windy most of the day, but mostly clear and sunny
Misc. notes: Drove the purple Prius to the Marr Lab and hiked to C1. Erin
skinned up to C1 on his K2 Piste Stinx 180s. Duane drove up to C1 in the snow
cat, so we got to walk Bear back down to the Marr Lab at the end of the day
because he doesn't like the snow cat. Steve Siebold was back in his office at
the Marr Lab after a ~6 week hiatus.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* swapped four flasks at the west robot
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 82 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 102 cm
farthest probe = 110 cm
* replaced the UCB 10x (Jia's) with the repaired cr23x; the soil moisture
sensor seemed to be working fine once the cr23x was swapped back into place
* moved the NCTC logger's charging system into the empty Campbell box next to
the NCTC logger on the tower platform
--> For the 2-D sonic's power, we used a 300mA 120VAC to 12VDC adaptor. The
adaptor end is plugged into a power strip in the quacker's box, and the
bare wires are wired into a small terminal strip (the bare wires coming
from the sonic are wired into the other side of this terminal strip).
--> the charging unit that was previously located on a lower level of the
tower was moved into the empty Campbell box that sits right next to the
NCTC logger's box on the ~10m platform. The dead battery in the charging
unit was replaced with a new YUASA 12 VDV 7.0Ah battery. AC power for the
charging unit still comes from the lower gray "power box" on the tower,
but is now carried up to the charging unit via the blue extension cord
that had been sitting unused in the shed. This extends up and into the
Campbell box on the platform, and the original AC-DC adaptor from the
gray power box plugs into it. The adaptor's bare wires wire directly into
the 2 "chg" terminals on the charging unit's terminal strip. Another
length of wire runs from one each of the "+12V" and ground terminals to
the little green plug on the logger.
* downloaded from NCTC, UCB, soil, Tcs, and swapped pcmcia cards at the mrs
logger
* hauled 2 empty cylinders back to the trailer
--> there were two empty gas cylinders (I think one N2 and one span?) inside
the tower fence that got hauled back to the trailer and secured in front
of the trailer. In addition to the N2 cylinder currently running at the
tower, there is one new tank waiting in the trailer and another new tank
waiting out at Como Creek (where hydra used to reside)
* helped Nicole and Co. shovel snow for a little while at her snow manipulation
plots in the eastern forest

539: equipment purchases, Site none, Wed 12-Mar-2008 16:39:00 MDT, Campbell fix to cr23x and batteries.
March 12, 2008.
The "broken" UCB cr23x logger (sn 6425, W/4M memory) was sent
back to us from campbell.
The diagnosis was:
"LCD was black. Was able to communicate via RS232. Sent new OS and
reset LCD contrast. Bench test, calibrated and ran in environmental
chamber. Did final test and unit is working properly and meeting
specs."
cost of repair = $142.50.
Also, the two batteries were delivered. Details:
1. PS12LA or PS512M Replacement Sealed Rechargeable Battery, 7 Ahr
(this one is to replace the battery running the NCTC logger).
2. two 6V 7A-hr Lead Acid Batteries (these can go inside a cr23x).

Thursday, March 6, 2008 site visit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the site: JB
Purpose of visit: to download from all of the tower loggers, the soil and tcs
loggers, and swap pcmcia cards at the mrs logger; to swap flasks at the west
robot, download the data and change the fudge day (a.k.a. work day); re-connect
the 21x in the trailer, re-send the program to it and make sure it is connected
to the edgeport; get "ucb10x_2.csi" (the program currently running on the ucb
logger) off the usb key and into /data/projects/NIWOT/data_logger/logger_programs/;
Weather: cold but calm and sunny most of the day
Misc. notes: Drove the gray Jeep to the Marr Lab. The digging in the parking lot
is finished and the bathrooms are open again. The Jeep didn't have a driver's
side windshield wiper so I couldn't use the wipers at all. The rear wiper didn't
work. Hiked to C1. Quite a bit of new snow at the site. About 6 inches new on
the way out to the west robot.

* swapped 4 flasks at west robot, downloaded data and changed the fudge day
from 5 to 4, so work days are now Wed/Thurs
* span @ 1525 psi, N2 @ 1025 psi
* re-connected the 21x in the trailer, re-sent "21trlr.dld" then captured some
data in hyper-terminal (the *.txt file of this data is in the logger data
directory on russter2
* added "ucb10x_2.csi" to the logger programs directory on russter2
* hauled the dead ucb battery from the shed to the trailer
** when I replaced the entire battery/charging system for the ucb logger back on 2/22/08,
I needed a known functioning charger so I took the one that had
been running with the 21x and its battery in the trailer. Thus, in order to
re-connect the 21x today I needed a functioning charger. There were two
chargers in the trailer: one that SpB had noted "might be broken" and the
one I pulled from the ucb logger on 2/22, also noted (by me) "broken?"
Both of these chargers tested out to be broken. Luckily I found a good
charger in the shed (this charger was in the action packer that also
housed the good battery I swapped for the dead ucb battery on 2/22). With
only one good charger that I could find, I couldn't try charging the dead
ucb battery--this is something to try when we buy a few new chargers, or
we could use the one that is kept next to porter in JB's/MW's/SpB's office,
but it is nice to have one always on hand in the lab...

536: equipment purchases, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 03-Mar-2008 15:11:36 MST, YUASA battery compatibilty information
Batteries, charging and loggers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Noah's cr10x and the NCTC charging system on the tower, use a YUASA 12VDC
7.0Ah sealed re-chargeable lead-acid battery.
The YUASA 6VDC versions can be used in the bases of cr23x loggers in place
of the PS100 power supply (as long as there is also AC power available). If the
6V batteries die but there is still AC power available the cr23x will continue
to operate properly. The dead 6V batteries, however, should remain in the cr23x
until they can be swapped with replacements.
A note on compatibility: The YUASA 12 and 6 V batteries are compatibile with
the older PS12 power supply from Campbell Sci. We use a PS12 with the NCTC
charging system. These YUASA batteries are not, however, compatibile with the
newer PS100 power supply from Campbell as is. A special connector
(the removable 17200 cable is required) and can be purchased directly from
Campbell Sci.
Purchasing info:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The YUASA 12 and 6 VDC batteries can be purchased directly from Campbell Sci.

Friday, February 22, 2008 site visit:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the site: JB
Purpose of visit: address the possibility of a power problem at the ucb logger,
abd try to get that data streaming into the data system again
Weather: warm, sunny, mostly calm
Misc. notes: drove my car up to the Marr Lab, hiked to C1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* tested the cr23x (ucb) in the trailer and confirmed that it is unresponsive
* replaced the entire battery/charger system for the ucb logger
* got the data from ucb (Jia's cr10x) going back into the data system again (was a matter of sufficient power to the logger)
* started running "ucb10x_2.csi" at the ucb logger (this program uses
instruction P138 for the cs616 water content reflectometer), although there
still seems to be something going on with this sensor; investigate when the
cr23x is returned
534: equipment purchases, Site , Tue 26-Feb-2008 13:53:41 MST, c-sat3 (sn 0438) re-cal
On February 12, 2008 we received the re-calibrated sonic (sn 0438)
back from Campbell. It was not given the rain upgrade.
on 29 Jan 2008: sn0438 was removed from 2.5m (replaced with csat sn 0226)
sent back for a re-cal at campbell.
on 21 Feb 2008: sn0438 was re-deployed at 21.5m on CUFF (replacing
eol csat, sn0536).
533: equipment purchases, Site , Tue 26-Feb-2008 13:40:14 MST, c-sat3 (sn 0226) re-cal
On January 25, 2008 we received the re-calibrated sonic (s/n 0226) from Campbell. It was not given the rain upgrade.
on 14 Jan 2008: removed csat sn0226 from 21.5m, replaced with eol loaner
(csat sn 0536).
sent back to campbell for a recal.
on 29 Jan 2008: removed sn0438 from 2.5m. replaced this csat with sn0226
so csat sn0226 is now at 2.5m.

Also, to download from the uc logger and check on the new span and N2 cylinders
Weather: very warm, sunny, calm
Misc. notes: helped NT haul a piece of 4-by-6 plywood out to her snow exclusion
plot in the eastern forest
Drove to the Marr Lab with NT in the gray Jeep, hiked to C1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* span @ 1750 psi (dropping 25 psi/week, seems good); N2 @ 1700 psi (dropping
~200 psi/week, seems okay)
* downloaded from the UC logger
* downloaded from the UCB logger
* Opened the ucb logger box and saw that the logger's LCD was "blacked out."
Fortunately, I was able to connect to it and download the data. There
was no new data coming in though. Checked the power at the logger and saw only
10.2 VDC. Before messing with the power I downloaded from the uc logger.
Power here seemed fine, at 12.8 VDC. Next I went over to the action packer
with the batteries for these loggers and checked power there. The uc battery
was outputting 13.75 VDC. The ucb battery was outputting only 11.5 VDC. I
noticed that the charger didn't look solidly plugged into the power strip so
I fixed this then re-tested the battery output. It was a few tenths higher.
I then disconnected the ucb logger from the battery and re-checked the battery
output, which jumped to 13.5 VDC. It seemed to be taking a charge so I
re-connected the ucb logger and re-checked the battery output, which showed
12 VDC...Still an increase over the last time I checked with the logger
connected, although there is obviously some drainage by having the logger
connected. Went back over to the loggers to check power and try connecting
again. Power and connection at uc were fine (i.e. nothing went hay wire when
I was tampering with the batteries). When I re-opened the ucb box I noticed
that the cells on the LCD had become much darker, just like the screen on the
nctc logger a few months back. And this time I couldn't connect to it,
even after ten+ tries.
Seems like there is definitely something wrong with the logger (reminiscent
of the problem with the nctc logger back in October '07), but there could
also be something going on with the power.

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 site visit:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the site: JB
Purpose of visit: grab snow depths and data from the mrs, soil, tcs and noah
loggers; bring a suitcase of flasks back to campus; get pressure bomb equipment
for Mick; swap gas cylinders at the tower; continue work on Noah's snow sensors
Weather: beautiful day, unusually warm, mostly clear skies, some gusty wind at
times
Misc. notes: dug a huge hole in front of the trailer door, although it will
probably be filled in by next visit; on Sunday (2/10/08) the female moose and
her calf were spotted by Stan in the far eastern forest near Nicole's snow
fence plots (no duel ensued); noticed there was no extension wire for snow
sensor #2, thus couldn't connect this sensor (the other snow sensors I've been
working on have extensions coming from Noah's logger/multi-plexer, and this one
was also supposed to have one...)
Drove a Chevy Malibu to the Marr Lab, hiked to C1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* retired N2 cylinder CC125555 (~empty), started N2 cylinder CC193045 (1900 psi)
* retired span cylinder CC18996 (~empty), started span cylinder CC199497
(~1775 psi)
* swapped pcmcia cards at the mrs logger
* downloaded from the soil, tcs, and noah loggers
* connected snow sensor #3 (this is the northern of the two locations in the big
clearing just a few meters to the east of the north canopy tower)
* hauled a suitcase full of flasks back to campus to mail to Utah
* brought the pressure bomb's regulator, mag glass and stopper kit back to
campus for Mick

Thursday, February 7, 2008 site visit:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the site: JB
Pupose of visit: swap flasks at the west robot and make sure the change of fudgeday for 2008 was accepted by the logger without any trouble (it was); download
from Noah's logger; try to install all three of Noah's new snow sensors; check
on the N2 and span at the tower.
Weather: pretty cold and snowing most of the day; despite the NOAA forecast
calling for wind gusts up to 85 MPH, I felt little wind while in the forest
around the tower, although the hike up to C1 from the Marr Lab was very
blustery.
Misc. notes: Only got one of three snow sensors connected. Tried using the butt connectors supplied and recommended by Noah to crimp his snow sensor wires...I
don't think these worked very well. Should devise an alternate method. The butt connectors are very difficult to crimp. There might be a specific tool?
The sensor I connected is located ~30 yards SW of the north canopy tower, next
to a tree bole near Jia's sap flow site.
Drove a Chevy Malibu to the Marr Lab, hiked to C1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* N2 @ 200 psi, span @ 100 psi
* swapped 4 flasks at west robot
* downloaded from Noah's logger
* connected one of Noah's snow sensors (next to a tree bole ~30 yards SW of the
north canopy tower, "beneath-canopy", near Jia's sap flow site; not sure if it is working properly)

Friday, February 1, 2008 site visit:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
At the site: JB, SLS, NT
Purpose of visit: to switch the SDM setting on the re-deployed, re-calibrated
c-sat3 (2m); to reinforce the flagging around the mini tower; investigate the
gmp343 probe (off scale on cockpit); check how the span and N2 cylinders at the
tower are doing; get snow depths
Weather: not too bad, warmer and pretty calm
Misc. notes: When there are two or more sonics on the same logger, each has to
have a different SDM setting (on the mini tower, the sonic at 2.5m is set to
SDM 4, and the sonic at the top of the mini tower is set to SDM 3); the gmp343
probe is wired into SE channel 24 on the UCB logger...
yellow wire -- channel 24 low
metal wire -- ground
pink wire -- +12V
gray wire -- ground
Drove the gray Jeep to the Marr Lab, and hiked to C1 from there
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* switched the SDM setting on the re-calibrated sonic from 3 to 4; this got it
working fine
* reinforced the flagging around the mini tower
* power cylcled the gmp343 probe and got it back on scale in cockpit
* span @ 200 psi; N2 @ 190 psi; retired the N2 (CC198536 @ 190 psi, started

---------------------------------------------------
At the site: JB, NT
Purpose of visit: to haul some gas cylinders to/from the tower; check current
pressures of gas cylinders running at the tower; swap flasks at the west robot
and change the logger program to account for the correct fudge day; download
from some loggers and swap pcmcia cards at the mrs logger; dig out lowest
profiler inlets at the mini tower and dig out the uc and ucb logger boxes; grab snow depths
Weather: cold, some snow
Misc. notes: lost part of an ultra-torr fitting for one of the flasks not
currently in use...there weren't any spare parts in the robot (only spare
o-rings)...need to get a few replacements to have on hand
Drove the gray Jeep (two Prius cars are booked through March, and Trans.
Services is not allowing their new Prius to go to the MRS) to the Marr Lab,
hiked to C1 from there
Nicole was at the trailer for a few hours to mess with her broken snow blower
----------------------------------------------------
* re-calibrated csat3 returned to CU
* hauled new span cylinder (CC199497) to the tower

Monday, January 14, 2008 site visit:
---------------------------------------------------
At the site: JB, SpB
Purpose of visit: remove the 24m sonic anemometer to return to Campbell for its
first re-cal in a decade; swap it with a loaner sonic from EOL; download data
from the loggers; do a cal and some post-cals on new/old span cylinders; look
for a SC532(A) 9-pin Peripheral to RS232 converter box
Weather: calm and warm early; wind picked up during the afternoon
Misc. notes: did not download from the UC and UCB loggers, and did not swap
pcmcia cards at the mrs logger; the LI-6251 used for cals in the trailer was
acting flakey so we couldn't do the cals and post-cals we had hoped to do
(fortunately we have one new, calibrated span cylinder in the trailer awaiting
transportation to the tower)
Drove the purple Prius to the Marr Lab, hiked to C1 via the road so we could
drag EOL's sonic (in its caryying case) in a sled borrowed from the Marr Lab.
About half-way up the road Kurt ferried SpB and the sonic to C1 via his new
wagon towed behind the snow mobile.

* note, csat sn 0226 was later checked at the EOL wind tunnel (thanks
to Tom Horst and Chris Golubieski) and offsets were found to be less
than 4 cm/s.
* looked for a CS SC532(A)9-pin Peripheral to RS232 converter box in the trailer but didn't find one
* SpB set up a CS 21x logger to test in the trailer (only outputting
battery voltage and reference temp and some junk)
* at around 13:30 MST, replaced the gelman filter on the 10m profile inlet.
524: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Thu 10-Jan-2008 11:21:27 MST, site visit on Wednesday, January 9, 2008 (JB, SL)
Wednesday, January 9, 2008 site visit:
--------------------------------------
At the site: JB, SL
Purpose of visit: re-start west robot (which had been off during the holiday
season), grab snow depths, change span cylinders, swap desiccant at the
LI-6251, swap 2-micron Nupro filters at the EC inlet, swap pcmcia cards at the
mrs logger.
Weather: cold, breezy, snowing for part of the day
Misc. notes: encountered 2 moose, a large female and her calf, along the main
trail from the tower to C1. No male in sight. The mother and calf were pretty
close to the bridge, and seemed to be heading in that very direction when I
stumbled upon them (this is interesting because SpB photographed moose tracks
and scat near the bridge just a week earlier; maybe the moose like the willows
near the brige). I was dragging an old cylinder along the trail, not really
paying attention to the surroundings, and I startled the mother, which caused
her to move...and it was her movement that I caught from the corner of my left
eye. Had she not moved when I approached I never would have seen them. She was
just a little bit off the main trail, her calf deeper in the woods, but when I
startled her she moved deeper into the woods to position herself directly
between me and her calf. They blended in with the trees so well. I hung out for a few minutes to observe them. They didn't seem too worked up by my presence.
Eventually the mother must have stopped feeling threatened because she started
moving north again and revealed her calf to me. The calf was pretty big too,
but probably only half the size of the mother. In sum, they didn't seem
aggressive, but it is probably worthwhile to be on the lookout for the male,
who could be an aggressor.
Drove the gray Jeep to the Marr Lab, hiked to C1
----------------------------------------
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 44 cm
middle probe = 61 cm
farthest probe = 68 cm
* re-started the west robot, everything seemed fine
* swapped pcmcia cards at the mrs logger; dumped the data into the new
common data directory on russter2 (/data/projects/NIWOT/data_logger/)
* N2 cylinder at the tower @ 900 psi
* @ 1:32 MST, stopped the GAST pump at the base of the tower, swapped 2-micron
Nupro filters at the inlet for the EC system, then re-started the GAST pump
@ 1:53 MST
* changed the desiccant for the LI-6251 between 2:04 and 2:24 MST
* retired Scott-Marrin span cylinder CC66823 @ 150 psi (hauled it back to the
trailer), started Airgas span cylinder CC18996 @ 400 psi

522: equipment purchases, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 09-Jan-2008 12:17:01 MST, new hard disk for russter2
on Jan 3, 2008:
purchased a new hard disk for russter2 (rather than wait
for the warranty replacement to arrive).
purchase details:
Office Depot (1905 28th St) 303-938-1800
Western Digital EIDE Hard Drive
Model WD1600JBRTL
160 Gb, 7200 rpm, 8Mb cache.
cost= $79.99
1-year limited warranty info and the box for this disk are in my
lower left-hand desk drawer. Note, that INSIDE the box is the
replacement disk from Dell (it's a seagate disk). At some future
date this disk could also be installed on russter2.
521: data processing, Site none, Mon 07-Jan-2008 14:22:29 MST, update splus code for new span gas cylinder...
* on Sun Jan 6 20:54:04 MST 2008
updated the splus code for the new span gas cylinder...ie:
if(t1 >= utime("07 jun 22 140000") & t1 < utime("07 dec 13 150000")) {
Cspan <- 402.0 # cal cylinder is CC240435, (Airgas Value=407.8 ppm)
# Trailer Cal=(401.72 + 402.56 + 401.74)./3=402.0067 ppm
}
if(t1 >= utime("07 dec 13 150000")) {
Cspan <- 334.86 # cal cylinder is Scott-Marrin CC66823, (Britt Value= 334.86)
#
}
to the files:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 18358 Jan 6 20:56 cal.co2.q*

520: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 07-Jan-2008 14:21:38 MST, site visit on Friday, January 4th, 2008 (SpB, NT, SL)
Friday, January 4th, 2008 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB, NT, SL
Purpose of visit: return russter2 to the trailer.
Weather: very windy. But warm (for this time of year).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove myself up, NT/SL rented a jeep from CU.
* Nicole and Stan were working out at their plots.
---------
* UnixOPS/Orrie were able to extract all the data from the old disk in
russter2 and put it on a new HD that i bought in Boulder.
* it wasn't clear if they were going to be able to finish this by the
end of the day, but they contacted me around 2pm and said it was
ready...so i had time to pick it up (with the new disk) and haul it
back up to the trailer. plugged it back in at the trailer and it
worked. The data system was running again at 16:30 MST.
* see "equipment purchases" for details about the western digital
EIDE hard disk.
519: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 07-Jan-2008 14:19:51 MST, site visit on Thursday, January 3rd, 2008 (SpB)
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: check on russter2, download logger data, and (maybe)
replace the motherboard.
Weather: overcast. some wind bursts, but not too windy. much warmer
than it has been recently.
--------- Misc Notes:
* rented a prius from CU.
---------
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 38 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 52 cm
farthest probe = 58 cm
* tank pressures:
N2 @ 1150 psi
span @ 200 psi.
* when i arrived in the trailer russter2 had a frozen screen...it
looks like it locked up as Jia was trying to log out (her window was
still on the screen). it rebooted just fine (had to reboot with the
power button).
* note, on russter2: the "outside world" network cable goes into the
LOWER NIC card (eth0) and the tower network cable goes in the UPPER
nic card (eth1).
* orrie started the backup process at around 10:45am. i connected
russter2 directly to the outside world (ie, bypassing the D-Link hub
on the right-side of russter2). it looks like these are the backup
processes:
root 4898 3.9 0.6 7140 1756 ? S 10:48 1:14 sshd: root@notty
root 4908 0.0 0.3 5508 1008 ? S 10:48 0:00 csh -c /usr/local/python/bin/rdiff-backup --server
root 4925 0.7 3.7 19580 9492 ? S 10:48 0:13 /usr/local/python/bin/python /usr/local/python/bin/rdiff-backup
* messages from the logs...

Hi,
I just got back from the site. I restarted the computer. It took a
while since it said that the computer was turned off suddenly. After
rebooting, I could not log onto the internet. In fact, t he computer
froze as I tried to do get on the internet and there was a weird
clicking coming from the computer. I just left things on as is, since
after the computer rebooted it kept asking if I wanted to reconfigure
anything. I figure since you are going up there tomorrow, Sean, you
could figure out.
Sorry I couldn't make the problem go away...

517: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 02-Jan-2008 15:51:32 MST, site visit on December 29th, 2007 (SpB, EL-T)
Saturday, December 29th, 2007 Visit:
------------------------------------
At the site: SpB, EL-T
Purpose of visit: check on russter2 and replace the motherboard.
Weather: very cold. some wind bursts, but not too windy. squeaky
snow.
--------- Misc Notes:
* met Erinn (from UnixOPS) at settlers and carpooled up in my jeep.
* two snowmobiles went zooming past the trailer while we were there.
---------
* russter2 started having problems on 12/20 at 23:16 MST. we were
able to log into russter2, but then there were I/O errors doing the
simplest commands, etc. The errors in the log look something like:
Dec 30 14:40:53 russter2 kernel: hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21
Dec 30 14:40:53 russter2 kernel: hda: error waiting for DMA
Dec 30 14:40:53 russter2 kernel: hda: dma timeout retry: status=0xd0 { Busy }
Dec 30 14:40:53 russter2 kernel:
Dec 30 14:40:53 russter2 kernel: hda: DMA disabled
Dec 30 14:40:53 russter2 kernel: ide0: reset: success
* Rebooted russter2 and everything came back up just fine. Erinn
swapped out the motherboard, but when we tried to reboot russter2 with
the re-furbished board and tried to boot nothing happened. We could
not even get a prompt or start of the boot (the power button stayed
"amber"). After trying this, we went back to the original
motherboard...which is most likely why the above error messages are
still showing up on Dec 30.
* we started to go out to the tower, but it was quite cold and there
didn't seem to be too much to do there (mostly brush the snow off the
instruments, etc).
* here's an email with some of the details about the problem:

Subject: Re: russter2...
Hi Sean,
Something is seriously wrong:
matrix:~ > ssh russter2
jesse@russter2's password:
Last login: Fri Nov 11 08:49:30 2022 from , :/home/staff/oncley:/bin/tcsh
Could not chdir to home directory /home/systems/jesse: No such file or directory
So it prompted me for my password, which means it didn't find my
authorized_keys file in my home directory. It says my last login was
from ", :/home/staff/oncley:/bin/tcsh", which is a piece of the passwd
file and not the lastlog, and then it failed to find my home directory.
It's a good bet that there's a fair amount of data corruption on
russter2. No telling if it's caused by a bad controller or a bad drive,
but something is definitely bad.
I can try to reboot russter2, but there's a good chance russter2 will
not come back. That may or may not be a problem -- if it doesn't
reboot, it won't be usable, but it really isn't usable at the moment
either.
russter2 has hardware support from dell, so we can order parts (disk
and maybe controller/motherboard) and go up there. The trick is going
to be getting parts and getting in to the trailer this time of year.
How much downtime can you have on russter2? It's likely going to take a
day to get parts and a day up there to have any hope of fixing this,
and we are /very/ short on staff until 2008.

site visit on Monday, Dec. 17 2007 (JB)
very windy, but not very cold
purpose of visit was to reboot/diagnose the trouble with russter2 (although this
was taken care of by Kurt Chowanski before I arrived at the trailer), check on
the span and N2 cylinders at the tower (which were fine), and swap flasks/
download data at the west robot
* span @ 425 psi
* N2 @ 1700 psi
* swapped 4 flasks at west robot; 071213w.dat is on the Bowling web page
* rebooted russter2 ~1:15 pm MST for a minor OS upgrade; russter2 and the data
system came back without any trouble
* took a brief inventory of gas cylinders in the trailer; confirmed that
"CC199497 Airgas 407.9 ppm cal_co2_070503.dat" and "SG9151924BAL Airgas 401.8
ppm still needs cal" are both in the trailer; also, there is one new, full N2
cylinder in the trailer (this is new from summer '07, CC125575)
514: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Fri 14-Dec-2007 12:37:20 MST, site visit on Thursday, Dec. 13, 2007 (JB, SpB)
Thursday, December 13th, 2007 Visit:
------------------------------------
At the site: JB, SpB
Purpose of visit: check on profiler KNF pump. download
logger data. swap gas cylinders.
Weather: cold and calm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up CU jeep. hiked up the snowmobile trail.
---------
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 30 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 48 cm
farthest probe = 52 cm
* from 12:30-13:15 MST, cleaned krypton optics (first time the q-tip
was starting to wear-out...so re-did this with a new/better q-tip).
* changed the profiler pump; swapped the UNMP30 KNI (s/n 1/761551) for a new
UNMP30 KNI (s/n 1/950199). details:
wiring: pins 1 and 4, black wires (AC power)
pin2 = ground wire (soldered to pump).
- at 12:04 MST, shudown the prof sample pump.
- at 13:06 MST, new pump installed and running.
- at 13:15 MST, zeroed li-6251, at 0.009 mV.
set flow to ~13-15 "ball" units.
* hauled N2 cylinder CC198536 to the tower.
* swapped N2 cylinder CC125555 @ 400 psi with CC198536 @ 1750 psi
* swapped airgas span cylinder CC240435 @ 200 psi with Scott-Marrin, CC66823 @ ~450 psi
(note, for a short while CC18996 at 400 psi was connected)...but at
14:30 MST, went to CC66823.
* hauled CC240435 back to the trailer for a post-cal.
* when we swapped span cylinders we noticed a leak in the cal system, possibly
at the regulator or somewhere downstream of the regulator. Plan of attack for
next site visit is to replace the cal system's dekabon tubing, maybe fittings
and unions also, or at least check that they are tight.
* swapped pcmcia cards at the mrs logger
* downloaded logger data:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 659985 Dec 13 10:30 cnr12_13.dat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 838949 Dec 13 11:02 met12_13.dat*

Sunday, December 9th, 2007 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: re-connect the csm1 pcmcia card storage module
and add a card. brush snow off of everything.
Weather: There has been about a foot of new snow over the past few
days. But this was a classic winter day---calm in boulder, but windy
and clear up in the mountains. a few turns below barker res the wind
started blowing...lots of blowing snow at the site as the lower
brances of the trees were still loaded with snow.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up my jeep. the road to MRS was unplowed (since last week?)
and i was the first car/truck to drive up the road.
* as i was leaving MRS, a jeep was stuck in a hole near the turn-off
to the peak-to-peak highway. a truck was there getting ready to
pull him out...
* there was quite a bit of snow on the tower(s)...brushed it off.
* saw a red fox (crushed) on the side of the road approaching
nederland.
---------
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 37 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 55 cm
farthest probe = 58 cm
* downloaded the mrs logger data:
-rwxr-xr-x sburns aster 190519 Dec 9 12:19 mrs12_9.dat*
* this file starts on day 340...so we lost about a weeks worth of
data...the logger by itself is good for storing about 3 days worth
of data...
more mrs12_9.dat
131,340,1905,-5.886,-5.895,-5.929,-5.931,
131,340,1910,-5.887,-5.898,-5.929,-5.927,
etc, etc...
* re-connected the csm1 card reader and added a card to it. (for
future reference, it would have been better to leave the other card
in the reader rather than removing it!).
* the profiler sample pump (ie, the one in the box with the LI-6251)
was not moving much air (the flow meter shows a level of around
"5"). we usually want this to be "15"...and it's good if it's above
"10". there is a chance the flow level is low due to a leak in the
system??...but i didn't see anything obvious. and this pump has
been running since 8 Aug 2006, so it's probably running out of
life...i checked and there is a spare pump in the trailer (in the
pump cupboard). we also have a kit to replace some of the parts in
the box with new pump...i have not used this before so i'm not sure
how much that will improve the performance. anyway, let's go ahead
and order a new pump so we have a spare on hand...it's a KNF UNMP30
KNI pump (115 VAC, 60Hz)...
KNF phone: 609.890-8600
KNF webpage: www.knf.com
this pump is squeezed into the box rather tightly...we'll probably
need to remove the one there and then bring it back to the trailer
to do the connections (unless we get some warm weather). i probably
have some notes about doing this somewhere...i'll look around on
Monday.
* next visit we should replace both the span gas and the N2. even if
there is some N2 left let's go ahead and replace it...we should
bring out another N2 cylinder (or is there a full one buried under
the snow at the tower??)....it looks like on 11/16 you hauled out N2
CC193045...is this the one standing up next to the one currently
running? Or, how many full N2 cylinders do we have out at the
tower? (i know there is one by como creek)...
512: equipment purchases, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 05-Dec-2007 15:09:49 MST, c-sat re-cal/rain upgrade
C-sat re-cals during the winter should take ~2 weeks (summer is the busy season, with re-cals often lasting 1 month or longer).
Cost of re-cal: $395
Cost of re-cal with new rain upgrade: $495
For re-cals, CS needs only the sensor head and electronics box, no cables
If possible, return the instrument in its original carrying case

Monday, November 19th, 2007 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, NT, SL, MW, CW
Purpose of visit: re-install 25m prop-vane. upload some
logger programs.
Weather: Clear blue skies and rather windy. But very warm
temperatures for mid-November. A cold front is headed our way (thus
the wind).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the aquamarine CU jeep (to the trailer).
* the weekend of nov 18/19 noah re-installed his snow depth sensor
network and dave bowling re-started the the undersnow TGA system.
* NT, SL, MW, and CW were at NT's plots digging trenches
---------
* from ~10-12 MST, swapped out the RM Young 09101 "SE" prop-vane at
25m. note, that we are using the Voltage output so the J1 jumper can
be in either RMY NCAR or NMEA protocol (these setting are for serial
output). For voltage output, the "J3" jumper should have the far
right pins open to set the output to be calibrated 0-5 VDC.
Here is some of the RM Young prop-vane wiring:
on 09101 wire color on cr23x MET logger
-------- --------- --------------------
/ +PWR ---- red wire ----> +12V
\ Ref (next to power) ---- black wire --> Ref
/ Ref ---- black wire -- diff CHAN9 (L)
\ A ---- white wire -- WD voltage -- logger diff CHAN 9 (H)
/ Ref ---- black wire -- diff CHAN1 (L)
\ B ---- green wire -- WS voltage -- logger diff CHAN 1 (H)
Earth --- bare wire ---- ?

* from 13:30-13:45 MST, modified the orientation of the LI-7500 at 2m
(note, it can be oriented any way, but upright is the recommended way
since all wind directions are then ok, see manual).
* re-deployed the repaired CSM1 card reader module at the mrs logger
* at 12:35 MST, sent a new program to the PROF logger:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 15561 Nov 19 09:11 prf_01.csi*
changes: - stopped saving of the 1-minute co2 LI-6251 data
- also no more "sec" in output, ie:

changed to:
1: 110 Day,Hour/Minute (midnight = 0000)
* at 12:47 MST, sent a new program to the CNR logger:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 9036 Nov 19 11:47 rad_03.csi*
changes: - stop saving the sw_net, lw_net, albedo, rad_net parameters.
- no more "sec" in output

Saturday, November 10th, 2007 Visit:
------------------------------------
At the site: SpB, NT, SL
Purpose of visit: check on the 2m Rnet sensor (again), install
FC6 on quacker2 (inspiron 7500).
Weather: very nice day for Nov 10th. there were some bursts of wind
from time-to-time. started spitting snow lightly as we left (but
the skies were blue).
--------- Misc Notes:
* Nicole drove her car up. And then we walked the powerline.
* Nicole/Stan were digging trenches around Nicoles plots.
---------
* checked the serial number of the lower (4.6m) TRH sensor (TRH5).
it's HMP35C #10091, s/n s0630018 (maybe s06300128?), LT# 415758
* quacker2 was sitting in the trailer waiting for disk2 to be
inserted. did this and then finished the installtion of FC6. Made
sure that I selected all the programming tools. And also tried to
install ntp (which doesn't seem to be working).
on quacker:
fgrep russ /etc/ntp.conf
restrict russter mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery
server russter
on quacker2:
fgrep 10.0.0.4 /etc/ntp.conf
server 0.10.0.0.4
restrict 0.10.0.0.4 mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery
modified this file to be:
fgrep 10.0.0 /etc/ntp.conf
server 10.0.0.4
restrict 10.0.0.4 mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery
* N2 cylinder at tower was at 200 psi.
* downloaded logger data:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 40228 Nov 10 11:36 ucb11_10.dat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 1333 Nov 10 13:15 ucb11_10b.dat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 192769 Nov 10 13:35 soil11_10.dat*
* from 11:30-13:00 MST, repaired the 2m Rnet sensor (note: after
looking at the data a few days later it seems ok). Removed the AMP
connector and replaced it with a small junction-type connector where
the wires can be screwed into terminal-type connectors. Note, when i
held my hand over the top (or bottom) of the sensor it would react,
but no-where near as quickly as it was on Friday (which seems more
like what I expected). Never determined what the problem was...but
we've lost around 10-days of data (see web calendar).

* on plumwood: moved the pc208w directory to be right off the C:\
drive...i've re-associated all the programs that needed to be changed
except the west robot program since i'm not sure which program is
currently associated with it (since you can't see the program name).
i was getting annoyed that i couldn't see the name of the program in
the "Associated Program File Name" box...so that's why i changed it
(hopefully you don't mind this change). i also changed the default so
with explorer you see the extention name + the file details..if you
don't like these changes feel free to change them back.
* also, noticed the amp connected for the fan for TRH sensor #5 did
not have any tape or backing on the backside of the amp
connnector...this could potentially allow water to get down into the
leads and short out the power...i added tape to one side and then
arranged it so it is under the PVC fitting which houses the fan (to
give it some protection from water).
* also, on quacker2, tried to install emacs, but get some weird
messages and then it doesn't exist...ie:

501: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Fri 09-Nov-2007 15:01:58 MST, site visit on Thursday, November 8, 2007 (JB, SpB, NT, JH, SL)
Thursday, November 8th, 2007 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, JH, NT, SL
Purpose of visit: check on the 2m Rnet sensor, swap out the N2, do
some final checks of the sensors connected to the soil logger.
Weather: Awesome (for Nov 8th). A bit blustery at times. And in the
afternoon a howling wind storm hit the site...but generally clear blue
skies and pleasant.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the CU grey jeep. (jia made the res).
* Nicole/Stan drove up separately and left earlier than us.
* time changed from MDT to MST last weekend.
---------
* brought up the disks to re-install Fedora on the insp 7500. (it
needed the software development packages on it). note, we ran out
time to do the full install...it was taking too long to copy all the
info from disk1. So, it's sitting there waiting for disk2 to be
installed...
* from 10:45-11:40 MST, messed around with the 2m Rnet sensor.
swapped the "+" to "-" wires into the diff channel...it seemed to be
working when i left (but it actually was NOT working, see logbook
entry from Nov 10th).
* from 11:30-12:00 MST, swapped out the N2 cylinder.
* from 13:08-13:20 MST, did a "warming" test of the snow temp probes (data
are saved in the file, "mrs11_8b.dat").
- from 13:08-13:13 MST, warmed up level 4 on the Td (ie, tall) probe...
- from 13:15-13:19 MST, warmed up level 3 on the short snowtemp probe.
* checked the location of the soil moisture probes (note, also did this on Oct 25, 2005):

#N3 ok horiz at 5cm NaN at mini-tower, in a clearing.
connected to ucb logger. (sn= ?).
* put out some new dessicant packs in all the logger boxes
that are on the ground.
* downloaded logger data:

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, JH, NT
Purpose of visit: finish setup of thermocouples at the N Can tower, work
with 2m Rnet sensor.
Weather: Blustery and cool. Significantly more snow had melted since
last Friday. There is almost no snow left...however, a small system
passed through after we had departed the site and left a dusting of
fresh snow.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up in the CU white suburban (Nicole extended the rental and
needed to exchange the jeep to have some brake work done).
* Nicole/Jia were working on snow-fencing stuff...
---------
* at 9:30 MST, power-cycled the eol tram data system (per Steve
Oncleys request).
* messed around more with the 2m Rnet sensor:
old 2m Rnet sensor wiring scheme (up until today):
white pin 1 7H
brown pin 3 7L
black pin 4 7G
new wiring scheme as of today:
orange pin 1 7H
blue (white) pin 3 7L
white (blue) pin 4 7G
* setup 9 more thermocouple sensors connected to the soil logger am25t
multiplexer. channels 17-22 were setup as a TC "intercomparison"
since last Friday. Today added channels 23,24,25 (which fills up
the am25t). details:
* when i was checking the am25t, chan20 had a loose wire which i
re-attached. Also, reconnected chan21 since this was giving
intermittent data.
* downloaded logger data (it was difficult to connect to the cr10
logger??):

498: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 31-Oct-2007 16:22:35 MDT, site visit on Friday, October 26, 2007 (JB, SpB, SO)
Friday, October 26th, 2007 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, SO
Purpose of visit: setup some thermocouples at the N Can tower. Check
on the MRS cr10 "wp" logger. re-install the nctc 23x logger.
Weather: Warm and sunny. Most of the snow in the trees has melted,
but there are still patches of snow around.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up in the CU grey jeep (Nicole extended the rental).
* steve oncley was out working on the tram line.
* there was still a fair amount of snow near the soil logger which
made it a bit difficult to find all the Ttcs and check them.
---------
* re-installed the repaired NCTC cr23x logger (according to the
report, the "crystal in location Y17N was bad")
* dumped all the water out of the CR10 logger box (note, that the MRS
cr10 is a cr10 "WP" logger (sn 18657) and the calibration date was
from 1986!)...there was still some ice in there that was more
difficult to remove.
* when we tried to connect to the logger a "can't connect to logger"
error occurred. There was not much else to try at the logger to make
things work (it had power, but 5V was not coming out of the 5V
terminals).
* there was a solid-state relay (a CRYDOM D1D07) that might have
been damaged (but turns out it is ok).
input = 3.5 - 32 VDC
ouput = 100 VDC, 7A.
(i don't fully understand the function of this relay since one
of the output ends seems to be connected to the 5V terminal on
the logger??).
* the action packer with the pressure sensors (and one short-haul
modem) was off and sitting on the ground...why did this happen?
* switched out the MRS cr10 logger for a spare cr10 that jia removed
from her site yesterday...so the timing was good. with jia's cr10
connected things started working again.
* in the morning steve oncley installed his fiber-optic media
converter box in the quacker box. In doing this the MET logger became
temporarily disconnected from the short-haul modem...and we lost about
3 hours of hi-rate data from the MET logger. I screwed the short-haul
connector together which should stop this from happening again.
* we did a quick check of how much conduction is in the those green
snow temp probes (tried to save 1-hz data with mrs_02a.csi):
- at 13:04 MST, jeff put his hand on Td_4 (4th level from the
top of the long probe)
- at 13:10 MST, jeff stopped having his hand there and moved it to
the short probe (under the tree). He put his hand at the 2nd
sensor from the top on this probe.
- at 13:22:20 MST, the original (30-min) program, mrs_02.csi, was
sent back to the cr10 logger.
* note, the status light on the card storage module (CSM1) was a solid
red color. (is it usually like this?). If we have an extra storage
module we should bring it out just in case this one has a problem...
* added 6 thermocouples to the soil logger am25t mux. these are
channels 17-22. For now they are tied together for a
"intercomparison" before setting them up near the snowtemp probes
(which should be done next time).
* at the soil logger started using, "soil_02.csi". Here we've stopped
saving the "tdr" data and only save the "h2o_soil" data...since there
is a polynomial relationship between these two there is no reason to
save both of them...also started saving all 25 channels of the am25t
mux...the main change in the program is at:
44: Average (P71)
1: 15 Reps
2: 1 Loc [ HFT_1 ]
45: Average (P71)
1: 8 Reps
2: 25 Loc [ TDRwat_1 ]
46: Average (P71)
1: 3 Reps
2: 42 Loc [ PanelTemp ]
47: Average (P71)
1: 25 Reps
2: 47 Loc [ Tc_1 ]
which used to be (in soil_01.csi):
44: Average (P71)
1: 32 Reps
2: 1 Loc [ HFT_1 ]
45: Average (P71)
1: 3 Reps
2: 42 Loc [ PanelTemp ]
46: Average (P71)
1: 16 Reps
2: 47 Loc [ Tc_1 ]
* checked the 21.5m csat and it seemed to be aligned ok (after
the strong winds of a few weeks ago).

To: Sean.Burns@Colorado.EDU
From: Jeffrey Mark Beauregard
Subject: critical site updates from 10/24
Hi Sean.
1. I downloaded from the soil and tc loggers, and these data files are
in my h ome directory on russter2.
2. The N2 cylinder at the tower still has 400 psi of pressure, and the
span cylinder at the tower still has 700 psi of pressure.
3. I set up the cr23x but wasn't able to actually start it up because
I didn't have the green power plug with me...this was still on campus
from when I brought it down the other week...but I have located it
here and will bring it up to the site on my n ext visit.
4. Jia was up on the top of the north canopy tower today and called me
over to "chec k something out"...Noah's data logger box was wide
open. It looked like it had been left open ever since it was last
visited. The whole thing was in bad shape...everyth ing was sitting in
a few inches of water and ice. I didn't know what to do about it,
because it seemed that tipping over the box to empty the water would
have been a ba d idea...plus the logger seemed to be sitting a bit
above the water. Not sure how th is happened. I am guessing that at
some point everything in the box was covered in s now, so there might
be water damage to stuff that is now dry. Our "cuff" SC32A that you
put in there was totally submerged in water, so I took this out, dried
it off an d brought it back to campus this afternoon. My plan is to
test it with one of the av ailable 21x loggers at some point to see if
it still works.
5. There isn't that much snow on the forest floor, and today was
pretty warm up ther e.
If you do decide to go up tomorrow instead of Friday and can possibly
call me let me know, that would be ideal because I might not be able
to check my e-mail at home to night...Otherwise I will plan on Friday.
Jeff

Hi Sean.
Right-o...this wasn't Noah's box then, sorry for the confusion. It was
the MRS logger box. Anyway, I assume we will meet at 8:30 tomorrow
morning in Ramaley?

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, NT, C, LL
Purpose of visit: setup some thermocouples at the N Can tower (never
happened).
Weather: Colder than it has been. About 5" of new snow on the ground
from the storm on Sunday. The road was ok.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up in the CU grey jeep.
* Nicole/Charlie were putting up snow fencing down by her plots.
---------
* Jeff and I helped Lynette collect soil samples along the tram
line in the morning. We also pulled out all of her soil moisture
and temperature probes.
* at ~13:45 MST, turned off the slow ozone sensor (TECO).
* at 13:40 MST, disconnected the KZ PAR-Lite sensor.
* there was a cylinder of zero air (CC153241) that was outside the
fence at the tower...this cylinder had around 1300 psi of pressure.
moved it inside the fence and put it on the pallete.
* brought down the empty cylinder of zero air that was at HYDRA (CC?).
* brought up a full cylinder of N2 (it's on the floor of the trailer).
* checked the snowprobes and tape marking the hts.
tree = ok.
mid = 3cm too high, ie, a 40cm reading is ACTUALLY 37cm.
far = ok.
* left a spool of TC wire out by the N Canopy tower.
we visited the old hydra and TRAM site at Como Creek to remove LL's soil gear,
and also visited cuff

Friday, October 12th, 2007 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, RaM, SO + NCAR Crew
Purpose of visit: help move tram.
Weather: Awesome Fall weather continues.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up in the CU grey jeep.
---------
* spent part of the morning moving Tram stuff from Como creek up to
near CUFF tower.
* at 12:45 MST, shutdown HYDRA for the year. Packed it up and moved
it down to NCAR for the winter. Note, on 10/10 all the inlets at
different heights on the tram towers were moved together for a mini
comparison. There are data from the night of 10/11 and the morning of
10/12 to compare these.
* the final pressures of gas cylinders at HYDRA:

* the steps for re-starting the isff.colorado.edu data system (all
done as root):
/etc/rc3.d/S99isff start
adamserver
nc_server (don't think this matters)
rtrun -r 5 serial_ingest -z (probably not needed?)
kill -HUP (ingest process 1)
something like: aster 12415 0.0 0.5 4832 1528 pts/4 S 23:28 0:00 -tcsh -c /home/aster/bin/Linuxi686/ingest -z; /home/aster/projec
kill -HUP (ingest process 2)
ingest (start ingest again).
then you should get something like:

* tried to connect with the NCAR TC 23x data logger. Could not make
any kind of connection...tried to use the CSI Dev Config Utility...but
the following error would occur:
Device Disconnected
"Clock check with the data logger failed"
11:04:10.35 Fault
"Classic :: CmdClockSet"
when we tried to do *B at the keypad we would get an error, "Mode 11".
The other * inputs seemed to work ok (for example, *5 showed the clock
was working ok). we tried doing, "*AAAAA98765" to reset the logger
memory. After waiting about 10 minutes the screen went "black"...ie,
all the small cubes on the panel showed up as dark areas. And then we
couldn't do anything else with the logger.
* when we couldn't get anything to work with the cr23x we disconnected
all the thermocouples and removed it from the tower. The wiring is:
purple wire = High
red wire = Low
black = signal ground.

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, MP, NT, SO + NCAR Crew
Purpose of visit: add back the re-furbished prop-vane (16m).
Add KZ PAR-Lite sensor.
Weather: Absolutely beautiful. Clear. Warm. Sunny. Calm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up in the CU grey jeep (rented for a week since we
are moving TRAM later this week).
* Steve Oncley was up here yesterday getting ready for the TRAM move.
---------
* there were two bugs (some kind of pine beetle?) stuck in the rain
gauge sensor...removed them.
* in the morning (~9:30 MST) installed KZ PAR-LITE sensor:
Info about Kipp and Zonen PAR LITE sensor:
------------------------------------------
white wire = +
green wire = -
shield = GND.
* replaced the 2 micron Nupro filters for the LI-6262 (both at the
inlet and in the box). details:
at 11:17 MST, flipped the LI-6262 to manual and did zero.
original:
co2 at 89 mV dial = 2.70
h2o at 64 mV dial = 1.90
after:
co2 at 0 mV dial = 1.35
h2o at 0 mV dial = 0.80
-- changed Nupro Filters ---
h2o at 130 mV (i think there is still a little room to zero?).
at 11:55 MST, back to sample.
* checked the heights of some instruments on the CU tower:
T4/RH4 = 10.4 m (see email from jeff on 12 july 2007)
T5/RH5 = 4.6 m
2d ati sonic = 9.3 m
P_baro = 12.0 m
"16m" prop-vane = 15.0 m
* note, to check Tref_A on TC logger...i did this and it seems that
this box must get some afternoon sun (which is why the reading was so
high when i was downloading the logger data).
* at HYDRA did a swap of the inlets (this is to help identify any
problems with internal leaks, etc). The inlets swapped are:
at 9:30 MST, doing a cal. Turned off the gast pump.
A1 <--> B1
A2 <--> B2
A3 <--> B3 (note, the nut for B3 (T4-L) was a little loose before the swap)
A5 <--> B5
B4 <--> B6
A7 <--> B7
A8 <--> B8
A9 <--> B9
at 10:00 MST, gast pump back on.
* also checked the timing of the valve switches versus my watch
time....
HYDRA switches to S9 (B9) at 10:03:55 MST (by my watch time)
HYDRA switches to Sx+D+S1 (A1) at 10:08:27 MST (by my watch time)
* at HYDRA, cylinder pressures: zero air at 100psi, 384ppm at 890 psi,
417ppm at 100psi.
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

Thursday, October 4th, 2007 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, MP, NT, SL
Purpose of visit: move ati 2-d sonic from the
ground up to the tower (9m).
Weather: Clear. Warm. Sunny. Calm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up in the CU grey jeep.
---------
* started collecing data from the cr10 MRS snowprobes. started using
mrs_02.csi which includes saving of the Tref data, ie:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 13193 Oct 4 10:39 mrs_02.csi*
* moved cylinder CC18996 from outside the fence, next to the span
gas---this is the cylinder calibrated by Britt/Andy. We should use
this cylinder next...it is probably at around 1100 psi??
* Jia's N2 cylinder (CC125555) has 1300 psi.
* moved the 2d ati SPAS/2Y ati sonic from the ground up to a height of
9.3m on the tower. notes before moving the sonic:
- the small circle (which seemed to be a mark with a sharpie on our
sonic) is the "u1" transducer pair and should point North.
- with our setup on the ground the transducers with the dots were
in the vertical direction while the other pair were horizontal
(aligned approx along the 50-230 deg from North).
- jeff and i tried to point this pair of transducers toward true north
at 9.3m on the tower.
* finished the blow tests of the HYDRA inlets...the final results are:

-------------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, MP
Purpose of visit: add T/RH sensor #5. change to winter
mode for fast logger.
Weather: An excellent fall day. Chilly with a few wind gusts. Nice
in the sun. The Aspens have either dropped all their leaves or are
yellow.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up in the CU grey jeep.
* Jeff/Sierra were planning for a pre-dawn tomorrow morning.
* apparently a bow hunter that was near our towers had an "encounter"
with a Mt Lion sometime recently. The lion did not run away
immediately and approached the hunter.
---------
* at ~10:00 MST, shutdown the fast ozone system.
* resent the tc_12.dld logger program to the TC logger...but it turns
out what i needed to do was redo the "association" with the logger
program (since the file structure of PC208W is different on plumwood
than the old gateway).
* at 11:00 MST, i reconnected power to the cr10 MRS logger..but I
didn't have a sc32a so i couldn't connect to the logger!!
* the tubing connecting the pressure sensor to the pressure port was
severed. Probably just exposure and age. Patched it up using one of
the tubing sections.
* checked the locations of the TCs connected to the am25t (sn 2283) and
the soil logger:

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.

* 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).

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

-------------------------------
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

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:

466: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 23-Jul-2007 10:57:56 MDT, site visit on Friday, July 20, 2007 (JB, LL, Ramesh, SpB)
Friday, July 20th, 2007 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, LL, RaM
Purpose of visit: work on HYDRA data system, shading for PAR sensor,
and 16m prop/vane.
Weather: It was quite humid (predicted 50% chance of t-storms that never
happened). nice clouds, but no rain or thunder/lightning.
--------- Misc Notes:
* i took the MRS shuttle. everyone else drove up in the Monson jeep.
---------
* after some consultation with Steve/Gordon was finally able to figure
out why the opto22 signal had a problem...the serial port (#2) on that
usb-to-serial converter that was supposed to send commands to the
opto22 was not working properly...switched to port3 and then it all
worked fine. ARgh!!
* made some short synflex tubing lengths to connect to HYDRA during
the testing phase.
* adjusted the offset of the h2o.ec signal for the LI-6262 (noticed
that it was clipping on 7/19 since the signal was over 1100 mV).
details are:
- at 10:14 MST, zero LI-6262
h2o at +30mV, dial= 2.75
co2 at +29.7mV, dial= 3.14
new setting:
h2o at -20mV, dial= 1.90
co2 at 0mV, dial= 2.70
- at 10:15 MSt, span gas.
- at 10:16 MSt, back to sample.
* removed the PAR shadingband for some re-design work.
* removed the problematic 16m prop/vane and Kurt at MRS was nice
enough to agree to plug it in at the lab (i noticed he had a few
already there that he was testing). [note, Kurt never did this since
ours is an older model!].

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007 Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, LL, RaM, JH, MP, NT, SLS, DK
Purpose of visit: work on HYDRA data system, shading for PAR sensor,
and 16m prop/vane.
--------- Misc Notes:
*
---------
* moved the forestcam up to ~17m.
* at 9:23 MST, disonnected 2nd REBS from CNR logger and moved down to
2m at mini-tower. The wiring is as follows:
AMP wire
pin# color logger connection (channel=?)
---- ----- -----------------------------
1 white H
3 brown L
4 black GND
* note that REBs output is hi-res (because this is what the pressure
sensor was!)...also, the fan is not connected.
* at UCB logger started running ucb_08.csi (to output the REBs data
rather than the pressure data which had been there previously).
(note, pressure data are still saved in logger 5-min data files).
* tried to fix up the 16m propvane (replaced the cable)...but still
was showing negative voltages for WS.
* logger data downloaded:

Saturday, June 14th, 2007 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: work on HYDRA data system...
Weather: Five minutes after i arrived it started hailing. And then it
rained on/off for the next 4 hours (or so)...some strong thunder and
lightning nearby...in the evening (when i was getting ready to leave)
it turned nice.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson jeep.
* since it was so rainy i spent some time getting caught up on the
calendar page (photos, etc)...
---------
* determined that it's necessary to use a null modem when reading the
opto22 signal (sent from the quacker/adam) with hyperterm on a laptop
(ie, this is if you plug the serial cable that was going to the opto22
into the laptop)...
* based on this it seems that chan201 (ie, /dev/ttyUSB1) is NOT
sending out the commands...not sure why this is not working??
* was able to make it so that the adam/aster seems ok (though it runs
very, very slow)...cockpit was able to run ok too...ie:
[aster@aster ~]$ ndaqstatus aster

hi jeff,
i recieved the following email from you about this:
From: Jeffrey Mark Beauregard
Subject: one other thing
To: Sean.Burns@Colorado.EDU
Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2007 11:45:19 -0600 (MDT)
I forgot to mention this a second ago...Our edgeports were repaired,
not replaced. They also did a nice job of cleaning them up on the
outside. They almost look new...I have the repair reports (1 for each
edgeport) and a shipping order. I will put these in the receipts
binder.
based on this it sounds like they might be in one of the receipts
binders? it would be good to have a record of which edgeport (ie, the
serial number) is still broken. I know it's the newer one, but not
sure the serial number...though i might have that info somewhere.
SpB.

> When we received the two edgeports after their service by Digi,
there was a RMA Customer Repair Report with each one...I vaguely
remember showing you these...I was told by Digi that these could be
helpful for dealing with the new edgeport problem. Do you happen to
know where these are? I cannot seem to find them amongst my notes
and documents...

Hi Kurt,
fyi---i found the cylinder (at least i'm pretty sure it's the one you
are referring to)....it's cyl number CC193097. i moved it away from
the trailer so there is no confusion....i'm cc'ing Sean S so he can be
aware of this too.
thanks,

some seriously strong winds. especially in boulder, but also up at
the tower.
--------- Misc Notes:
* the snow is really starting to go!!
* moved hydra back toward the trailer (didn't make it all the way
there).
---------
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 0 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 5 cm
farthest probe = 2 cm
* switched the robot flask-sampling to summer mode (now running
AUTO26NW.CSI).
* from 10:30-11:00 MST, swapped out the LI-6262 pump.
- from 10:58-11:01, ran zero and span in the LI-6262.
* JB got robot pump working with MANUAL_6.DLD. Sent the new (summer 2007)
AUTO26NW.DLD program to start summer mode sampling.
* JB downloaded 23xrad (CNR logger) data (CNR6_8.DAT)
* JB, SpB started moving hydra back to trailer
* SpB took forest phenol photo protocol pictures
* messed around some more with the 2-d ati sonic....created
some *.txt files from hyperterm,
ati_1.txt = initial file
ati_2.txt = blocking the vertical transducers...therefore,
"u" is parallel to the ground.
ati_3.txt = my hands are blocking the "u" axis.
ati_4.txt = data with the "table" removed.
at ~13:27, made another small adjustment...
* here are more details about the ati (from emails):

Hi Sean,
The problem is probably that an echo, from U or V transducers is arriving
back at the correct timing to look like a directly received pulse. There is
a window of time that we look for received signals. It could be that this
timing ( and the amplitude of the echo ),is only correct at particular
speeds of sound or wavelengths.
I don't usually suggest that users decrease the sampling rate, but in your
case it might disrupt the timing of the received echo. With ticks per sample
set to 0, the sampling rate is 200Hz, once every 5ms. If we change the ticks
per sample to 1, we will sample at 100Hz, once every 10ms. If the
interfering echo is returning in about 5ms, it will no longer be in your
receive window. There still could be a bounce at 10ms, but the receive
amplitude of this bounce dies off exponentially with distance, ie time. This
setting will effect your output rate, from 10hz to 5hz. If you want to
maintain 10Hz, we can average fewer samples, samples per output should be
reduced from 20 to 10. The original sonic anemometrs we built sampled and
averaged at these rates, and Dr. Kaimal wrote his original paper on the
anti-aliasing filter achieved by block averaging with this in mind. So I
don't think you have any issues with a 5Hz Nyquist. If you reduce the
sampling rate any further and obviously if you reduce the output rate, you
might need to look at the effects of the frequency response on your data.
An anechoic material added to the structure could be attempted. I don't
really have any suggestions for you, some type of sound absorbing foam. This
might insulate your structure or disrupt the normal airflow, so I don't know
if it is practical or not.

Hi Gary,
it appears that it was indeed a "cross-talk" problem (because the
sonic was setup with a small table-like structure around it...after we
removed the table then the numbers became reasonable and it seemed to
work fine...is there something that can be done to avoid and/or
minimize the cross-talk? I didn't notice this problem in the Fall
after i initially set things up...
thanks for any more thoughts about this (some of the current setting
on the sonic are shown below)!

447: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 04-Jun-2007 15:46:39 MDT, site visit on Thursday, May 31st, 2007 (SpB, JB)
Thursday, May 31st, 2007 Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB
Purpose of visit: swap flasks. change inlet filters.
Weather: Still pretty cool in the morning. Lots of Cu clouds
around. It felt more like Nov than the last day of May. Storms
coming off the divide. Spitting snow from time to time. When we
left it was nice and calm.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Kurt was messing around with ln2 and looking for a fresh N2
cylinder.
* as i was leaving a pine squirrel came bolting out of the shed...and
it had a baby pine-squirrel in its mouth/paws. It seemed that it
was trying to carry it to another location...
* installed a tool rack in the trailer...i think we need one for the shed
too!
---------
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 16 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 40 cm
farthest probe = 38 cm
* from ~11-15:30 MST, replaced the gelman inlet filters on the LI-6251
profile system.
* more work with the 2-d ati (previous day removed the mesh
surrounding it?)
- at 11:04 MST, put a ziplock bag over the two heads that
are parallel to the ground.
- at 11:14 MST, switched the bag to go over the vertical
heads.
* at 10:45 MST, started running "met_03.csi" where the 9m handar data
have been removed.
* from 10:52-12:30 MST, started running ops41 (removed handar.9m and
also modified the 2-d ati code).
* the wiring for the 9m handar:
black = diff chan11 (H)
green = diff chan11 (L) (w/ jumper to ground)
white = ch12 (H?)
black = ch12 (L?)
black = +5V
red = gnd.
* at 12:37 MST, started running ops42 (removed 2-d ati
and added back ncar TCs).
* downloaded logger data (time on the uc logger was off):
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 35375 May 31 10:42 met5_31.dat*

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007 Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB
Purpose of visit: replace gast pump (li-6262), download logger
data.
Weather: Chilly. It was very dark at around mid-day. Then it
cleared up and was nice in the afternoon. Spitting snow at times.
--------- Misc Notes:
*
---------
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 20 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 42 cm
farthest probe = 43 cm
* snow depths at Ncan tower:
closest to tree = 0 cm
middle pole = 30 cm
farthest pole = 34 cm
* messed around with the Fortress UPS in the trailer. Pulled the
batteries out (LCV-12V33AP, Panasonic sealed rechargeable) and will
look into replacing them...
* also, played around with the 2-d ati sonic (see Jun 7 2007 logbook entry
for more details).
- aster/ndaq data system wants:
8/N/1 (ie, 8 bits, No Parity, 1 stop bit)
- ati default: 7/E/1
- also, set "flow control" to NONE in the hyperterm settings.
* started messing around with the old shading band that was on the
side of the trailer (and looks like a home-ade job).
* from 11:30-12:30 MST, replaced the ec gast pump with a refurbished
pump. made some flow adjustments to the LI-6262.
* at 11:50 MST, started running "met_02.csi" which outputs the RM
Young prop-vane data in mV (rather than using the calibrated output).
* downloaded logger data:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 1349645 May 30 10:33 tc5_30.dat*

Span gas pressure and flow was "off" during LI-6262 calibrations...reset the
span gas regulator's pressure back to 20 psi. Tank pressure at 500psi.
10:28 MST: span cylinder pressure = 500psi
span regulator pressure = 25 psi
10:31 MST: LI-6262 flow = 9.17sLpm
CO2 mV ~1187
H2O mV ~420
10:43 MST: adjusted span regulator pressure back to 20 psi
10:45 MST: LI-6262 back to auto; flow = 9.13 sLpm

Monday, May 21st, 2007 Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB
Purpose of visit: fix the problems at the tower.
Weather: Very nice and clear in the morning. BUT, it quickly clouded
up and felt like rain for a short time (with distant thunder). Then,
it cleared up again.
--------- Misc Notes:
* bought a new netcom 5-port switch before heading up to the tower. Note,
some of the ports on the old switch were still working!

hi,
fyi---they were out of stock on the 8-port switch...but they had a
5-port switch available. i bought that...the 8-port switch is still
under warranty so we should be able to get a replacement (probably
have to mail it in). if we can't fit everything on the 5-port i'll
leave off the pfp (since i thought this wasn't a critical thing to
have on the network). you should be back on-line about 1-2 hours...
thanks,

* at 11:00 MST, everthing back up and running.
* started ops40. (which is the same as ops37).
* all extra short-haul modems are being stored in the green box by the
fence at the base of the tower.
* from 10:50-11:28 MST, replaced the 2-micron Nupro filter and the
dessicant tube in the LI-6251.
* note the fan for the aspirated T/RH sensors is:
12VDC, 0.22 amps, 2410ML-04W-B40.

Saturday, May 19th, 2007 Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB
Purpose of visit: a lightning strike hit near the tower.
Weather: it was overcast and cool. There was a short time period when
it was raining.
--------- Misc Notes:
* somewhat of an "emergency" visit to the tower.
---------
* the GFI outlet at the tower had popped which is why there was no
access to the quacker (since this outlet powers the network switch).
Surprisingly, there was power on all the other circuits...and none of
the breakers at the base of the tower had popped.
* after a bit of trial and tribulation...started ops38.

Friday, May 18th, 2007 Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, JH, DK
Purpose of visit: swap cylinders at the tower.
Weather: warm and nice. the snow is really starting to melt. como
creek is starting to pick up steam.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Was able to drive to C1.
* as soon as i returned from the site there was a short power outage
at the tower (around 5-min long according to Duane). This power
outage was long enough to kill the UPS attached to russter2. So, i
drove back up and reset the UPS. (it's not clear to me why the UPS
didn't automatically restart after the power was restored??).
---------
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 50 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 76 cm
farthest probe = 80 cm
* snow depths at Ncan tower:
closest to tree = 25 cm
middle pole = 74 cm
farthest pole = 77 cm
* between 10-? MST, replaced N2 at the tower. Used cylinder CC198686
(at 2050 psi).
* brought up a N2 cylinder for Jia (CC12555).
* the fiber-to-copper ODS converter in the trailer is an "ODS 471".
Rx= Blue, Tx= Green. (not sure if this is at the trailer or quacker
end of the fiber?).
* for the GAST pumps, service kit is "K219". they are supposed to run
between 10,000-18,000 hours before needing service. The lifetime for
the pump bearing is around 27,000 hours (and it's not worth replacing
the bearing).
* at 15:20 MST, data system stopped due to power outage.
* at 16:30 MST, restarted UPS/russter2.
* it died later in the evening (between 20:50-21:02), but, happily, it
rebooted itself.
* for building ndaq (on jieluns old dell) do:
cd /usr/local/ndaq/build/x86/
./configit.sh
make
make install
* also, to change the bootup on a dual boot linux system modify
/etc/grub.conf
* when we tried to build aster it was missing the "rfid.c" file (which
was something related to something steve oncley was doing?).
441: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 23-May-2007 16:36:54 MDT, site visit on Thursday, May 10th 2007 (SpB, JB)
Thursday, May 10th, 2007 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB
Purpose of visit: bring up some gas cylinders to the site.
Weather: fine.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up the summer jeep.
* Was able to drive to C1 (there were several other people that drove
up to there).
* helped SO with tram for a few minutes just after we arrived.
---------
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 80 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 105 cm
farthest probe = 110 cm
* snow depths at Ncan tower:
closest to tree = 56 cm
middle pole = 104 cm
farthest pole = 103 cm
* hauled a cylinder out to the tower...but it was the cylinder from
the post-cal!....so needed to bring it BACK to the trailer. ugh!
* finally, completed the cable for the 2nd REBs sensor (sn Q96333).
Replaced the domes on this sensor and added it to the top of the tower
(this is for a comparison with the radiation sensors already up
there). Note, we have only two more new REBs domes left..and no more
new gaskets. There was a note on the REBs sensor...it was,
"This unit removed from tower 10/15/02, B. Baugh."
* the wiring for the 2nd REBs sensor (4-pin amp connector):
Pin 1 - red wire -> +
Pin 3 - black wire -> -
Pin 4 - ground -----> Gnd
* moved around the N2 cylinders at the tower...positioned two new
cylinders inside the base of the tower...removed one near-empty one,
CC97976 (brought this back to the trailer)...and one with around 600
psi (CC176258) (left at the base of the tower).
* brought five cylinders back to campus (get the numbers).
* downloaded logger data:

440: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 23-May-2007 16:35:08 MDT, site visit on Tuesday, May 8th, 2007 (SpB, JB, NT)
Tuesday, May 8th, 2007 Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, NT
Purpose of visit: bring up some gas cylinders to the site.
Weather: Lots of fresh (wet) snow on the ground (and in the trees).
Bright and sunny. The snow melted considerably while we were out at
the tower. And someone was able to drive up to C1.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up in the jeep (start of the summer rental).
* tried to make it up the road, but the new/fresh snow stopped us
halfway up the steep part of the road (past the 2nd gate).
* nicole was making some measurements down near her plots. (she met us
at MRS).
* the MRS snow survey started today.
* took down two natural radiaion shields that have been on the tower
forever (and never been used as long as i've been here).
---------
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 80 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 112 cm
farthest probe = 118 cm
* snow depths at Ncan tower:
closest to tree = 60 cm
middle pole = 111 cm
farthest pole = 112 cm
* hauled the following cylinders out to the tower:
N2: CC125555 and co2/air: CC240435
* from 12:30-12:45 MST, swapped out the REBs domes.
* re-aligned the direction of the rm young prop-vane at 25m.
* replaced the rm young propvane at 16m with the "spare" prop-vane (it
had "26m" in tape written on it). The old 16m prop-vane did not seem to
be working so we brought it back to campus (not sure what the problem
is). (note: The spare prop-vane that was added to the tower seems to
be giving negative wind speeds..but only part of the time??). need to
check into this in more detail....

437: data processing, Site russter, Wed 23-May-2007 16:32:21 MDT, covar process dies.
* Mon Apr 30 08:55:47 MDT 2007
reran the covar files starting at the date when the process died (25
April 2007). so here's what i did with covar_redo (change the date
to be the date you want "covar_redo" to restart, ie:
cd /usr/local/isff/aster/projects/NIWOT/scripts/
emacs -nw covar_redo
in covar_redo make the line with "set begin" to be: set begin = "2007 apr 25 00:00"
the covar files (before doing anything) are:
dir /usr/local/aster/projects/NIWOT/results/covar/
total 6440
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns aster 280488 Apr 23 18:10 nwt.070423.nc

-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns aster 244196 Apr 26 14:17 nwt.070426.nc
[and then it stops].
so ran, "covar_redo", now with "check_aster" i get:
-------------- Covar calcs --------------

now just need to restart the "normal" covar...which is "covar_quacker". So
it shows,

436: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 23-May-2007 16:31:06 MDT, site visit on Monday, April 23rd, 2007 (SpB, JB)
Monday, April 23rd, 2007 Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB
Purpose of visit: Check as to why the span tank cals had stopped
working (ec.Ftot was dropping way off during the span cal).
Weather: Very nice and calm and sunny in the morning. The clouds were
building quickly in the morning and it was overcast by noon. Snow was
starting to fall as we left.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up my jeep.
* kurt showed me the webcam (old tundracam). it's a Canon VB-C10R.
---------
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 80 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 108 cm
farthest probe = 113 cm
* snow depths at Ncan tower:
closest to tree = 80 cm
middle pole = 109 cm
farthest pole = 108 cm
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes on April 19 (from Jeff):
closest to tree = top of sensor
TP101 461 middle probe = 109 cm
farthest probe = 115 cm
* at the tower the span tank regulator was at ZERO psi (on the line
side of the regulator). For some reason the regulator was not working
properly...
* from 8:40-9:00 MST, reset the span tank regulator & tested the span
calibrations. played around a bit with the LI-6262 settings.
* at 9:07 MSt, slight decrease in the flow rate of li-6251.
at 9:08 MST, switched profiler (li-6251) to span gas.
at 9:09 MST, back to auto.
* sent a new program to the met logger:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 9838 Apr 23 09:45 met_01.csi*
this program is supposed to close the valves on the span/N2 tanks in
case the power goes out at the tower and the logger resets itself.
Note, i forgot to download the logger data on the logger before
sending the program!

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007 Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB
Purpose of visit: download logger data. swap flasks. figure out the
wiring for the 2nd REBs sensor. Swap dessicant in profiler.
Weather: A mixed bag. Sometimes the sun would come out and sometimes
it would be snowing ice pellets (usually whenever the laptop was
open). Calm winds. Very wet. It snowed about 2-3" overnight...lots
of wet snow everywhere. And water dripping off all the trees. Below
the wet surface snow, the underlying snow was firm and well-packed.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up a CU prius.
* Lots of yellow snow. (in the drip line of the trees).
---------
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = top
TP101 461 middle probe = 112 cm
farthest probe = 118 cm
* snow depths at Ncan tower:
closest to tree = 79 cm
middle pole = 110 cm
farthest pole = 110 cm
* tried connecting the 2nd REBs to the CNR logger (ch12 which used to
be one of the photodiodes). could not find a combination of wires
that made the voltage positive?!?...there were 3 wires (one for
ground).

Saturday, April 14th, 2007 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: check on the status of the LI-6262 (the span gas
during cals seems strange).
Weather: Clear and windy in the morning. The winds calmed a bit as I
was leaving. There was a layer of fresh snow that was wet and heavy
on top of the older snow. There were also some strange lines in the
snow (maybe from wind?).
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up my Jeep.
* grabbed 13m of 6-wire cable for the T/RH probe.
* brought back down some drierite that needs to be baked.
---------
* from 11:50-12:20 MST, fiddled with the valve on the span gas
regulator---the line-pressure from the regulator seemed fine (around
20 psi). So maybe the valve was partially closed?? (Anyway, it seems
ok now).
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 80 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 108 cm
farthest probe = 113 cm
* snow depths at Ncan tower:
closest to tree = 80 cm
middle pole = 109 cm
farthest pole = 108 cm
* checked the wiring on the HMP35C:
also, the wiring for the HMP35C probe goes something like (this
assumes the wiring on the probe in the lab is the same as the one
connected to the tc23x logger..and i believe that is true):
blue wire -> excitation port (in the example program i sent i'm using
excitation port 2).
red wire -> +12V.
black wire -> ground
white wire -> single ended measurement (for Temperature)
yellow wire -> S.E. measurement for Humidity
green wire and bare --> ground (though i think the green wire goes
to nothing).

431: equipment purchases, Site none, Wed 23-May-2007 13:49:28 MDT, purchase gast rebuild kit (vanes, etc)...
May 23, 2007.
Ordered 4 repair kits for the GAST 1531-107B-G557X pumps (run the EC system).
This is gast service kit K219.
contact info:
Steve Knox
Fiero Power
303.431.3600
information about life of vanes = 10000 hours. (416 days).
life of bearing is ~ 27000 hours (for low pressure)....
so, probably a good idea to change the vanes about once a year.
if the bearing goes bad then it's better to replace the pump.

To: "noah molotch"
cc: Sean.Burns@Colorado.EDU
From: Jeffrey Mark Beauregard
Subject: new battery/charger/adapter for Niwot Ridge
Hi Noah.
This afternoon I replaced the fried equipment at your cr10x. I
replaced everything: A/C adapter, battery, and the charger box (the
old one was totally fried). Everything seems to be running smoothly
now. I will plan on keeping the second new battery in our trailer at
the site in case we need a spare in the future. If you have other
plans for this extra battery (e.g. want it back) just let me know.
Thanks.

At the site: SpB, JH
Purpose of visit: download logger data. swap flasks.
Weather: A dense fog in the morning. The tower was right on the edge
of the fog...then it cleared up and was fairly nice weather. (it
stayed socked in down below). Lots of rime on the tower instruments.

Sunday, March 4th, 2007 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB, DL
Purpose of visit: Check on the profiler pump (that draws air
in the from the inlets).
Weather: Very calm in the morning. And warm and sunny. A few
wind gusts later in the afternoon.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up my own jeep.
* there were 3 people looking for a lost cattle dog (jaydee?) that was
apparently found later. . .
* Don and I skiied west of the tower. big trees. and heavy (wet)
snow. Snowmelt water was dripping off the trees.
---------
* at around 10:40 MST, switched on/off the pump. At first i thought
it was pumping air in the wrong direction...but, after i turned it
back on it was definitely sucking the right way. However still not
seeing LARGE co2 values from the lowest inlet. the zero of the
LI-6251 seemed fine. this is puzzling....might be an ice blockage in
the tubing??
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = (buried)
TP101 461 middle probe = 121 cm
farthest probe = 128 cm

Thursday, March 1st, 2007 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: JB
Purpose of visit: restart the data system.
Weather: very cold (from what i hear).
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up a CU Jeep rental.
---------
* at 5:08am the quacker crashed (probably because it was very cold).
Jeff went up and switched everything back to one edgeport (started
ops36).
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = (buried)
TP101 461 middle probe = 125 cm
farthest probe = 131 cm
* here is the "conversation" between Jeff and I while he was at the
quacker:

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007 Visit:
------------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB
Purpose of visit: Download logger data. swap robot flasks, re-install
the krypton hygrometer.
Weather: Not a cloud in the sky (well maybe a few off in the
distance). Very clear up near the divide. Smog/Haze out in the
plains. A few gusts of wind, but overall quite calm and nice...not
bad for Feb (temp probably in the 40s).
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up a CU rental.
* duane was pumping gas.
---------
* Snow depth at NCanopy Tower:
closest to tree = 80 cm
middle = 98 cm
far = 107 cm
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = (almost buried) cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 103 cm
farthest probe = 110 cm
* from 12:30-12:50 MST, re-installed the kyrpton hygrometer (according
to campbell there will be more detector tubes available in the
future). The voltage was over 5V so it was being clipped by the
cr23x. (it's below 5V as of Monday, Feb 26).
* started ops35 (went back to using 2 edgeports)...on Friday, noticed
a problem in the channel_config file where i had started using:
quacker iv1624 0 211 0 on obsolete 9600.8.8.1 cr10_6x # for tc23x logger
which should have been:
quacker iv1624 0 211 0 on obsolete 9600.8.8.1 camp_21x_4 # for cr21x logger (ascii)
* at the soil logger checked the channels and the
cables:
cs616 #2 --> chan 12
cs616 #1 --> chan 11 (very tight...loosened the
cs616 cable a bit)
* tried to download noahs snow depth data...the battery was dead (but
i think it was the ac adapter that was the problem). emailed noah to
find out what he wants to do about this. here are some of the specs
on his a/c adapter: input - AC 120V 60Hz 30W
output - AC 18V 1.11A
name= Tamara class 2, s/n 830A0064-03
* swapped 4 flasks at the west robot.

Thursday, February 8th, 2007 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, DB
Purpose of visit: Download logger data. swap robot flasks.
Weather: Some low-level fog down on the plains. Sunny in the mountains
on the way up. But cloudy/overcast/blustery near the tower. Started
snowing at the trailer as we were leaving.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up a CU compact. Met at noon at NCAR and drove up from there.
* bumped into Dean Anderson on the way out to the tower.
* Dave Bowling et al. have been working on the laser this week. He
was in the shed doing some programming stuff while we were up there...
---------
* Snow depth at NCanopy Tower:
closest to tree = 70 cm
middle = 90 cm
far = 90 cm
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 78 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 95 cm
farthest probe = 103 cm
* hauled two N2 cylinders out to the tower:
CC153484 - new
CC176258 - at 600 psi (i think this was used by Jia last summer).
* brought back two empty N2 cylinders...one was CC199718 (150 psi)
and the other was CC140765.
* from 13:52 - 14:05 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
- at 13:52 MST, did zero (value is approx -0.014 mV).
- at 14:02, did zero + blow test (ok).
(zero is approx -0.005 mV).
- at 14:05, back to auto mode. flow rate at ~18.
* Jeff swapped 4 flasks at the west robot.

420: data processing, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 02-Apr-2007 16:27:23 MDT, restart co-var process
Feb 6, 2007: noticed that the covar process had died on russter2:
------------------------------------------------------------------
* reran the covar files starting at the date when the process died
(23 January 2007). so here's what i did with covar_redo:
Tue Feb 6 13:59:52 MST 2007
cd /usr/local/isff/aster/projects/NIWOT/scripts/

exit 1
endif

Thursday, January 25th, 2007 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, SO
Purpose of visit: Download logger data. swap robot flasks.
Weather: Excellent working day for January. Clear blue skies. An
upslope wind blowing for most of the day. Warm and pleasant.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up a CU prius. (it was the purple one, and the trunk would
not close very well).
* heard (and saw) lots of snowmobiles. when i was at the N canopy
tower someone (dave millar) drove out and (probably) filled the laser
with ln2. there was also a cylinder sitting along the trail (near
como creek).
* there was signs of digging up cylinders out near the shed. (i
warned them not to leave them lying flat on the ground before the
snow came!)
---------
* Snow depth at NCanopy Tower:
closest to tree = 70 cm
middle = 92 cm
far = 90 cm
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 78 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 98 cm
farthest probe = 102 cm
* Carried out a few parts for steve oncley for the tram line. (tram
is starting to come together).
* from 12:15-12:40 MST, tightened the CNR-1 net radiometer. (it was
ok, but we added a couple of self-locking nuts just to make sure).
* re-aligned the REBs Rnet sensor. it was obviously blown a bit
out of alignment (not sure when that happened).
* swapped out N2 at the tower:
old cylinder: CC199718 at around 150~psi.
new cylinder: CC97976 at around 1950 psi.
* from 15:50-16:20 MST, replaced the 2 micron Nupro filters---at the
inlet and the one in the li-6262 box. At around 16:20 MST, back to
sample. Did a slight adjustment to the zero offset of the li-6262.

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB
Purpose of visit: Reboot quacker. Swap west robot flasks.
Weather: Calm in the morning. Then there were a few wind
gusts. . .then it started blowing more and more. Fog down in Boulder
early in the morning (still some remnants visible around 10am from
MRS). It's been very, very windy over the past several days (lots of
needles, cones, etc on top of the snow).
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up a CU prius.
* Data system crashed due to a power outage at the MRS on
Monday morning (data system stopped around 6am MST).
* Dean Anderson was paying a visit to the USGS tower.
---------
* Had to dig out the trailer door. The road was blown out, but the
snow was piled up along the edge of the trees.
* at 11:50 MST, the quacker rebooted and seemed ok. looking at the
logs it never completely crashed, but went into "suspend" mode.
* from 12:15-14:00 MST, changed out the span tank at the tower.
old cylinder: Airgas/CC187116 at 150 psi.
new cylinder: Airgas/CC57787 at 1800 psi (nominal conc 396 ppm)
* from 14:06-14:07 MST, ran N2 and span through the li-6262 (to adjust
the span tank regulator).
* Snow depth at NCanopy Tower:
closest to tree = 75 cm
middle = 100 cm
far = 95 cm
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 80 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 102 cm
farthest probe = 108 cm
* swapped 4 flasks at the west robot. according to Andy there
is no longer a problem with flask #14 (Andy noticed a leak there
a few weeks ago). Jeff also uploaded the new logger program,

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007 Visit:
------------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Download logger data. Clean snow off of stuff.
Weather: It was warm and pleasant. There were a few wind gusts during
the morning. As I left it was starting to blow pretty hard and snow
was blowing around.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up a CU prius.
* Happy New Year!
* a few BIG snowstorms since my last visit.
* someone had snowshoed out to the tower (they went into the bowling
shed).
* David Millar must have stopped by sometime while I was up there
(though i never heard him). Fresh snowmobile tracks were there on my
way back.
---------
* Had to dig out the trailer door---not too bad (it looked like
someone else had dug out the trailer after the big December storm).
Snow on the tower was not too bad. The lowest few levels (at N Canopy
tower too) still had quite a bit piled up.
* Snow depth at NCanopy Tower:
closest to tree = 70 cm
middle = 85 cm
far = 85 cm
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 70 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 89 cm
farthest probe = 95 cm
* note, at 14:10 MST, the tree snow temp probe is in the sun! (see
photos).
* reset (almost) all the logger times (based on my watch time which
was synchronized with russter2). nctc logger was around 1.5 minutes
SLOW. downloaded logger data:

------------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Download logger data. Swap robot flasks.
Weather: A great day for mid-December. . .fairly calm and warm-ish. A
cold front was coming and the temperature was dropping over the time i
was at the site (from around 11-3pm). An upslope wind was blowing at
the tower.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove my own jeep up.
* I heard a snowmobile (David Millar) while i was out at the west
robot. The tracks showed that he stopped by to service the laser.
---------
* Snow depth at NCanopy Tower:
closest to tree = 26 cm
middle = 40 cm
far = 40 cm
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 30 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 46 cm
farthest probe = 49 cm
* from 13:06 - 13:20 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
- at 13:06 MST, did zero (value is approx -0.012 mV).
- at 13:17, did zero + blow test (ok).
(zero is approx -0.008 mV).
- at 13:18, ran span into li-6251. (value is approx 1.368 mV).
- at 13:20, back to auto mode. flow rate at ~18.

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, SO, C
Purpose of visit: Download all logger data (after the data
system crash). Change out the N2 cylinder.
Weather: Windy, but nice in the trees. Not a bad day for
December. . .was even able to sneak in a trip up to the top of the
tower to grab some data (the wind picked up at various times
throughout the day).
--------- Misc Notes:
* Rented a prius from CU.
* copied down all the power info from the book in the green
trailer.
* Steve O had rented the snowcat to haul up a bunch of tower-related
stuff.
* wanted to check o-rings on flask 14 at the west robot--never had
time to do this.
---------
* Snow depth at NCanopy Tower:
closest to tree = 30 cm
middle = 47 cm
far = 46 cm
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 34 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 50 cm
farthest probe = 53 cm
* between 10:30-11:05 MST, swapped out the N2 cylinder.
New cylinder = CC199718 at 1850 psi.
Old cylinder = CC140765 at 100 psi.
* at 11:09 MST, re-zeroed the li-6262. it was:
co2 at -235 mV
h2o at 2.75 mV (dial = 3.8?)
changed to:
co2 at ~0 mV
h2o at ~0 mV
at 11:13 MST, back to sample.

Thursday, November 30th, 2006 Visit:
------------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Restore the data system (the quacker crashed because
of the extreme cold).
Weather: Very, very cold. A bit windy, and sunny.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Rented a jeep from CU. (called in the morning).
* combo to the green trailer is "1776". Use this to find the notebook
with the power used by the Monson tower.
* brought my skies with me.
---------
* Snow depth at NCanopy Tower:
closest to tree = 35 cm
middle = 57 cm
far = 54 cm
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 38 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 57 cm
farthest probe = 61 cm
* the usb hub caused the system to crash at around 9:30 on 11/29 (this
is right around the time it was getting very cold)...and with the hub
connected the quacker will not re-boot properly. So I decided to
remove the hub and only run with one edgeport (I had planned to do
this before i left for AGU/vacation anyway...just not on such a cold
day). This went ok and i re-started everything under ops34. The
changes to prep.config are:

Sunday, November 26th, 2006 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Download logger data. Change fast logger
program. swap flasks at west robot.
Weather: A light snow on the hike up. Then quite windy (and clear).
Then blue skies with big puffy clouds. So, a little mix of
everything. The snow is way down. Almost no snow at MRS. Lots of
bare patches along the powerline.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up my own Jeep.
* found the soil logger file from 9/13 on the gateway!! (i thought
this was lost).
---------
* Snow depth at NCanopy Tower:
closest to tree = 15 cm
middle = 28 cm
far = 27 cm
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 18 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 32 cm
farthest probe = 32 cm
* at 10:50 MST, updated the logger program on the fast
cr23x logger (fast_03.csi).
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 9471 Nov 26 09:23 fast_03.csi*
* at 11:33 MST, connected pdiff1 to a longer tubing section (on the
outside of the box). Set it up next to pdiff2.
* downloaded logger data (no time problems), files are:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 933504 Nov 26 10:24 temp/soil11_26.dat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 1054161 Nov 26 10:12 temp/tc11_26.dat*
Also, I found the missing soil logger data from 9/13...this file
is:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 363135 Sep 13 10:17 soil9_13.dat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 839160 Sep 13 10:30 soil9_13b.dat*
so i recreated the soil_060913.dat file and the tar archive..these
are:
-rw-r--r-- 1 sburns aster 15308800 Nov 26 14:24 logger_data_0609_raw.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 sburns aster 15298560 Nov 26 14:25 logger_data_0609.tar
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 1202295 Nov 26 14:22 soil_060913.dat*
* note, it looks like the am25t connected to the soil logger is NOT
WORKING correctly!! (maybe it was damaged by the July lightning
storm??)...need to check this more carefully.
* swapped 4-flasks at the west robot. done=2, range was around 15ppm.

Thursday, November 16th, 2006 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Download logger data. Check the UC logger (stopped
working last Sunday). swap flasks at west robot.
Weather: Very windy. the road was blown out at the top. skiing was
difficult between the wind and bare spots. Mostly clear skies with
some wave clouds. Dark clouds up on the divide. there was some nice
snow in the treeees.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up my own Jeep.
* someone left the lights on in the trailer (i don't think it was
me??).
* Dave Millar filled the laser with LN2.
* Dean Anderson was bringing up some new 2-d sonics for the canopy
towers (from csi/gill).
* Duane was filling cylinders (used the snowcat).
* note: a new combo for the door at MRS.
---------
* Snow depth at NCanopy Tower:
closest to tree = 21 cm
middle = 36 cm
far = 35 cm
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 26 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 40 cm
farthest probe = 41 cm
* at 13:30 MST, moved pdiff1 outside the box (need to bring up the extra
tubing to connect it into the snowpack!!)
* from 13:50-14:50, The N2 was below 50 psi so i swapped CC140777 out.
The "new" one (CC140765) only had 750psi so won't last too long
(around a month?). [I thought this one was full, but I guess not?].
Still need to haul out the empty cylinder (CC140777). left it by the
shed.
* from 14:05-14:10 MST, lowered the pressure on the span gas regulator
from 24psi to 20psi (not sure why it went up, but i noticed this from
cockpit).
* at around 15:00 MST, the battery voltage on the UC logger was only
at 2 VDC (this explains why it stopped working). The automatic
charger did not seem to be working...i had left the previous charger
in the action packer. So started using this charger (initially
charged at 6amps for a 1/2-hr, then set to 2 Amps) and the battery
seemed ok.
* downloaded logger data (had to reset the time on the UC logger).
Also, did a "download all" on the soil logger (since i'm missing data
from sept 13th, but could not go back that far), files are:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 191 Nov 16 14:10 uc11_16b.dat*
* also, grabbed all the old code that i could find on the gateway in
the trailer (thought i had already did this, but it doesn't hurt to
do it again). These files are in:

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Download logger data. check west robot.
Weather: Partly cloudy. Mixed periods of calm and wind. The sun is
pretty low in the sky. Lots of new snow at the site from a storm 1
week ago (last Thursday). It has not snowed since then.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up a CU compact/prius.
* last weekend the time switched from MDT to MST (short days).
* I saw some moose tracks in the woods near the trailer. Apparently
there is a pair of calves and two cows hanging around C1.
* Mark L is retiring from MRS (just heard this last week)!
* Duane was filling cylinders (used the snowcat).
---------
* Snow depth at NCanopy Tower:
closest to tree = 20 cm
middle = 45 cm
far = 42 cm
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 27 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 44 cm
farthest probe = 42 cm
* the REBS rnet sensor looks a bit out of alignment??
* added more thermocouples to AM25T (sn 1396). The ones I added are:
ch16 = +100cm (tree)
ch15 = +60cm (tree)
ch14 = +30cm (tree)
** reconnected some channels "as they were" last winter. these are:
ch2 = ch2_old
ch3 = ch3_old
ch22 = ch22_old
ch23 = ch23_old
ch24 = ch24_old
ch25 = ch25_old
* dug out a few cylinders that were buried at the base of the tower. These
are:
SG9151924 BAL
CC57787 396.0 ppm, put on the tower to use next.
moved the zero air cylinder that was there to the fence.
* cleared snow off the base of the tower. The N2 is still at 500 psi
(i thought it was going to be lower than that!). This should be fine
through the next few weeks...
* downloaded some logger data:

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, MP, DM, NT, RM, DS, S, A
Purpose of visit: Reboot quacker. Swap li-6251 dessicant. Finish
setting up TCs. Connect 2-d ati.
Weather: Overcast in the morning. But the clouds burned off and it
turned into a sunny, warm (beautiful) day.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up a CU compact.
* a pair from the Arizona tree ring lab (steve? and april) were up at
the site taking tree cores (along with Russ and Dave S).
---------
* at 10:34 MST, adjusted the co2.ec signal by removing approx -100mV.
Did this by putting the co2 offset dial to "0.20".
* from 10:51 - 11:04 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
- at 10:51 MST, did zero (value is approx -0.006 mV).
- at 11:02, did zero + blow test (ok).
(zero is approx -0.003 mV).
- at 11:04:00, back to auto mode. flow rate at ~16.
* was playing around with minicom and crashed the quacker the night
before going up. It seemed like i was able to exit just fine a few
times..but then when (i thought) i was exiting in the same way it
crashed. I tried minicom again in the morning (while i was logged
into the quacker) and it locked up the keyboard. All of this was to
get the 2-d ati spas/2Y sonic working. [I'm not going to mess around
with mini-com anymore!]. see below for more details.
* it looks like the quacker tried to reboot at around 1am??...but the
edgeports probably came up wrong so it didn't work out...(need to
check the logs for details).
* removed fast ozone stuff from fast logger (fast_02.csi), removed
hydra data, and started collecting 2d ati data (chan212). This starts
ops33. Also, renamed a few parameters in prep.config
* went over and checked on the "isff.colorado.edu" computer in the
chem-shelter (it had been off the network since Saturday). It needed
to be rebooted (took a couple of tries), and then it came up back on
the network.
* added more thermocouples to AM25T (sn 1396). The ones I added
are:
ch13 = +10cm (tree)
ch7 = 10cm (mid)
ch6 = 30cm (mid)
ch5 = 60cm (mid)
ch4 = 100cm (connection seems "iffy", could not turn the terminal screw!)
* here is the output from the 2-d ati sonic:
0002 0003-0163 S 20 20 -1
0002 0002-0167 S 20 20 -1
0001 0002-0171 S 20 20 -1

Sunday, October 22nd, 2006 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB, LL, MH
Purpose of visit: Put aircoa on the network.
Weather: Snowing in the morning (with about 6 inches of fresh snow on
the ground). Chilly. Gusts of wind blowing snow around (including
into the west robot). When we left it had stopped snowing and the sun
was out.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up my own jeep. (met at settlers park).
---------
* tried to connect Lynettes laptop to the network in the trailer and
that did not work. Lynette decided to pull out aircoa so that's what
she did. she used the sled to take it down to MRS (returned the sled
to the trailer on 10/24).
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 23 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 38 cm
farthest probe = 37 cm
* Snow depth at NCanopy Tower:
closest to tree = 25 cm
middle = 40 cm
far = 38 cm
* swapped four flasks at the west robot and reset it.
* brushed the snow off the towe and instruments.

Monday, October 16th, 2006 Visit:
---------------------------------
At the site: SpB, SS
Purpose of visit: Finish setting up things for the winter.
Weather: The calm before the storm. Supposed to snow a fair
amount starting tonight (and it did). Started getting dark
and gloomy in the late afternoon.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up my own jeep.
---------
* at 10:00 MST, zeroed LI-6262.
sample values: co2 = 1167 mV
h2o = 461 mV
with N2: co2 = ~ 48 mV (dial = 4.82)
h2o = ~ 98 mV (dial = 5.52)
modified the offsets.
set co2 dial to be 1.00 ~ -200 mV
set h2o dial to be 3.50 ~ -21 mV.
then when back to sample: co2 = 920 mV
h2o = 360 mV
* at 10:21 MST, sent "fast_01.csi" program to the fast 23x logger
(which replaces, "fast23x9.csi"). ie:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 9252 Oct 16 10:25 fast_01.csi*
* "fast_01.csi" changes the measurement of the co2.ec to be:
17: Volt (Diff) (P2)
1: 1 Reps
2: 14 1000 mV, Fast Range
3: 1 DIFF Channel
4: 48 Loc [ a_1 ]
5: 1.0 Mult
6: 0.0 Offset
instead of:
; change range when changing resolution
17: Volt (Diff) (P2)
1: 4 Reps
2: 15 5000 mV, Fast Range
3: 1 DIFF Channel
4: 48 Loc [ a_1 ]
5: 1.0 Mult
6: 0.0 Offset
* added the following info to fast_01.csi:
;Read the analog channels
; a_1 = co2.ec
; a_2 = t.ec
; a_3 = p.ec
; a_4 = h2o.ec
;
; a_5= h2o.kr
; a_6= ec.Flow
;
; a_7 = fast.o3
; change range when changing resolution
* setup the 2-D ati SPAS/2Y wind sensor (serial #060901). it's 25cm
off the ground and the probe axis is aligned from 80 deg to 260 deg.
The 2nd axis is in the vertical direction. (this is connected to
/dev/ttyUSB12, but is not collecting data). The sonic is covered with
a small "table-like" structure to keep the snow off of it and create a
small "air space" within the snowpack (see photos for details).
* added more thermocouples to AM25T (sn 1396). The ones I added
are:
ch8 = -5cm
ch9 = -15cm
ch10 = -30cm
ch11 = -50cm
ch12 = -5cm (at "tree" profile)
* downloaded logger data:

Subject: west robot..
Hi,
fyi--swapped (4) flasks at the west robot today...i changed the fudge
from fudge=2 to fudge=0. And this reset the robot...i'll check it
again on Thursday or Friday, but maybe the cylcle won't start until
the following week? Andy, I will give the leatherman to either Dave
or Chun-Ta...Dave and Sean S have the satchells.
Chun-Ta i'm planning to go to a few talks at ameriflux, but won't be
at the entire meeting...i'll look for you there!

---------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Finish setting up things for the winter.
Weather: Windy/Blustery (but warm) in the morning. Then
calm in the late afternoon.
--------- Misc Notes:
* rented a Jeep from the CU motorpool.
* brought down the rest of the "popcorn" that was in the trailer.
---------
* at 12:00 MST, separated the two pdiff pressure sensors---moved one
outside the action packer and left one inside the action packer. The
approx values are:
Pabs= 2675.6 mV, Pdiff1= 198.28 mV, Pdiff2= 169.9 mV.
* at 12:30 MST, shut off the slow ozone sensor.
* at 13:30 MST, reconnected the cr21x logger to the quacker.
* at ~15:30 MST, reconnected the am25t (sn 1396) back to the cr23x
data logger started a new version of the tc23x logger program
(removed all unecessary parameters):
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 8737 Oct 13 15:28 tc_12.csi*

-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, MP, NT, DM
Purpose of visit: Finish setting up things for the winter.
Weather: Blustery.
--------- Misc Notes:
* rented a Jeep from the CU motorpool.
* met at CU.
---------
* from 9:50-9:53 MST, lowered the regulator pressure for the
span gas at the tower from 23psi to 20psi.
* downloaded some logger data:

* removed the pressure data from the tc23x logger. stopped sending
the ASCII data out to the quacker. the new tc23x logger program is:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 7331 Oct 12 11:26 tc_11.csi*
* it looks like the west robot has the wrong fudge day (since it's
still done=0, attempt=4, co2 range=12.78). It has fudge=2 should be
fudge=0. grabbed the logger data, but didn't do anything else, ie:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 50900 Oct 12 13:42 061012w.dat*
downloaded the dld file from the logger:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 53332 Oct 12 13:48 westrob3.dld*
* modified the program on the mrs cr10x to stop collecting the data
from the broken snowtemperature probe. the new logger program is:

Friday, October 6th, 2006 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Set up new pressure sensors.
Weather: not too bad.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson Jeep.
* went out to ATI and picked up the new 2-D sonic.
* turned the rental jeep in at the end of day.
---------
* connected the black box short-haul modems (ME800) from the quacker
to the tc23x data logger. Tried to use one of the me721a-m short-haul
modems, but this did not seem to work...so used 2 me800 s-h
modems...The connections are:
TC23x SH Modem (me800) @ quacker end (on DCE!)
Tx- = orange
Tx+ = orange/white
Rx- = blue
Rx+ = blue/white
* downloaded logger data (note, some of the tc*dat files should have a
different number of parameters):

Thursday, October 5th, 2006 Visit:
----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, MP
Purpose of visit: Switch out battery for UC logger. Connect new
8-port switches at the tower and in the shed. Set up thermocouples
for winter.
Weather: Seemed sunny on the way up. Fairly calm. But then it
quickly clouded up and was overcast and cool most of the day.
Spitting precip up at the divide (and occasionally where we were at
the tower).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson Jeep.
* hauled down the 5%co2 and N2 cylinders from the laser, these are:
N2 (CC125525) and 5% co2 (CC179040)
* on the way back to campus we saw a mountain lion cross the road
about 1/2 mile from the road up to MRS...it was heading right toward
the tower! We all had a good look...And it was BIG!
* in the morning picked up the 2 differential pressure sensors from
Don (CIRES electronics shop). Also, bought 2 switches at the Buffalo
chip.
---------
* brought two full 10L ln2 dewars up to C1. (it's the last day of work
for lucas).
* replaced the D-link hub at the tower with a Netgear Prosafe 8-port
10/100 switch (model FS108 ver2). Also added one to the shed (s/n
1D41653101D13)
* bought some tubing to connect to the pressure sensor:
- #28 Fuel Tubing (PVC)
- 1/4" OD, 0.170" ID, vinyl tubing
* at 11:00 MST, shut off the fast ozone system.
* replaced the battery for the UC logger. Combined both UCB and UC
logger batteries into one (bigger) box.
* jia/maggie moved around some of the tubing for hydra.
* downloaded some logger data:

Sunday, October 1st, 2006 Visit:
--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Check the problem with the "fast" logger data (only
collecting at 7hz?). Connect ucb logger to the data system (w/
short-haul modems).
Weather: Some cumulus clouds around. Also some wave clouds.
Generally warm and pleasant, with occasional bursts of wind. No snow
around.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson Jeep.
---------
* brought up three new airgas cylinders:
CC175574 - 676.6 ppm
CC66062 - 1991 ppm
CC23563 - 2985 ppm
* connected the ucb logger to the tower data system (this was
precariously connected before with a straight serial cable). It
seemed to work sometimes, but not all the time. I then realized that
all the cr23x's use a "SC932" 9-pin to RS232 DCE interface converter
to connect to the data system. Since I don't have any of these I
needed to find another way to send out the data...the following
connection worked for the transmission:
ME800 short haul modems (black box brand)
At the quacker end:
note: RTS/DTR jumper is set to "enabled", set to DCE.
Tx- = orange
Tx+ = orange/white
Rx- = blue
Rx+ = blue/white
At the UCB logger end (note this me800a looks burned out since
it is refurbished). This is set to DTE.
Tx- = blue
Tx+ = blue/white
Rx- = orange
Rx+ = orange/white
Using binary data it did not seem to work...so went to ASCII...the data look
something like:

Friday, September 29th, 2006 Visit:
-----------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Rewire Hydra. wire up the 2 other cr23x loggers
(ucb logger + tc23x logger).
Weather: Clear and windy. A warm autmn wind (harbinger of things to
come). The snow is more-or-less gone.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson Jeep.
---------
* finished wiring up the am25t mux that is on the ground near the
north canopy tower (sn 1616). note that TC I_11 could not reach so
that is now connected to tc23x, diff chan11, now running "tc_08.csi"
* notes for "tc_08.csi":
; tc_08.csi
; reconnected all tcs to am25t muxs (sn 1616). note: on 9/28
; moved sn1616 outside of tc23x box. I-11 would not reach the
; new location...so connected to tc23x at chan11 (tcI_11).
; sept 29, 2006, spb.
* the only channels that use campbell_binary are:
chan201 = "fast" logger
chan203 = "prof" logger
(because these need to save hi-resolution data).
* started thinking about how to send cr23x logger data back to the
quacker (noticed that most loggers use a SC932 (9-pin to RS232 DCE
interface)). me721 A-M set at DCE

Thursday, September 28th, 2006 Visit:
-------------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Rewire Hydra. wire up the 2 other cr23x loggers
(ucb logger + tc23x logger).
Weather: Clear and windy. A warm autmn wind (harbinger of things to
come). The snow is more-or-less gone.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson Jeep.
---------
* decided to move the am25t mux (sn 1616) that was up in the campbell
logger box down to the ground (in an action packer) at the base of the
North Canopy tower. This will create a lot more space in the cr23x
box and won't need to stuff so many wires through the hole into the
box. (didn't have time to quite finish all the re-wiring..i think?)
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 372795 Sep 28 15:57 tc9_28.dat*
* wiring:
+12V = red
grnd = black
CLK = black

Purpose of visit: Hook back up hydra. String out data lines
to the North Canopy tower.
Weather: Clear, but cool. Snow has not completely melted (yet).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson Jeep.
---------
* brought out 3 refurbished short-haul modems:
- ME800A-R3s: sn 0202, 0208, & 0405.
- the other one used is sn 0605 (which has FIDO protection).
* cut up one of the cables used for Hydra in 2004/5 into 3 sections to
go from the main tower to the N Canopy tower. One cable for opto22,
one for LI-7000, and one for the tc23x logger (or cr21x which is what
was used in the end). Before cutting this cable the resistance in the
wire was 17 ohms.
* added the repaired am25t multiplexer (sn 1616) back to the tc23x
data logger.
* at 16:40 MST, only connected chan 1-7. (ch2 seems to be stripped?).
* started using logger program, "tc_07.csi" for the tc23x logger.
* downloaded logger data:

--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the rental Jeep.
* the aspens are starting to turn yellow (esp on the trail out to the
tower).
---------
* checked on the Hydra inlets down near Como creek. They were at
0.5m. At 10:20 MST, moved them from 0.5m up to 1m. Also, blew into
the South Como inlet around this time.
* at Hydra the zero air regulator seems to have lost more pressure
than it should...it was at 1700 psi. I tightened the regulator (which
was quite loose).
* attached a regulator to the span gas that was there (CC18996).
* swapped flasks at the east robot (no problems):

Purpose of visit: work on hydra. move stuff around
Weather: Clear, blue skies. A few gusts of wind---but not a bad day
to be in forest.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the rental Jeep.
* Anthony was showing the GPS to Lynette. And they were marking the
tram line.
---------
* moved most of the lines from the old hydra location (girdled plots)
up near the CU tower.
* blew out the 2 lines that go down to Como creek. . .there seemed to
be quite a bit of resistance to the flow (the pumps were working
hard). We fixed a few places where the tubing was crushed/squashed.
One inlet/line is labeled "South Como" and the other is "North Como".
They are approximately on 10m N and S of Como Creek.
* connected hydra to the CU tower data system (running 2 edgeports on
the quacker). Could not control the opto22---it turns out that the
short-haul modem was burned out. I had one re-furbished one at the
tower that we used to replace the one in the quacker box. it still
didn't work..so might need to replace the one in the hydra box
too...it was possible to control the opto22 with a direct serial cable
to the quacker. (note, i did this with BOTH a null modem at the
edgeport (port 2) AND a null modem cable).

(around 3pm).
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove up the rental Jeep.
* added some right-angle braces to the cart.
---------
* brought up a new N2 cylinder (CC199718). And brought one empty one
(CC199739) back to campus. Gas cylinders at the tower:
CC153241 (zero air) at 1900 psi (for hydra)
CC66823 (Scott-Marrin) at 500 psi (could use with Hydra).
SG9151924 (airgas), co2 in air ~ 401.8 ppmV
CC57787 (airgas), co2 in air ~ 396 ppmV
CC140777 (airgas) N2 at 2000 psi (this was the "mystery" cylinder).
CC199718, N2 at 2000 psi.
(plus there are 2 other N2 cylinders there).
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 197097 Aug 31 10:56 tc8_31.dat*
* updated the tc logger code again. This time I'm measuring the
thermocouple with the "slow" measurement range in P14 (ie, "10 mV, 60
Hz Reject, Slow Range"). Duh! the new version is:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 6783 Aug 31 11:05 tc_06.csi*
* at the east robot, done=1. swapped flasks, no power problems. The
time on the logger was around 14 minutes slow (relative to the CU
tower time). reset the logger clock.

Friday...maybe there was a bit of confusion as to what IP address to
use for the pfp? On our tower network the gateway is 10.0.0.4 and the
pfp is (i think) 10.0.0.6. When this was used things seemed to work
ok.

--------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: swap out span gas. try running hydra with thinkpad.
on 8/12 noticed something strange in the profile data (level 1).
Weather: Lots of BIG cumulonimbus convection popping up all over the
place. But it never rained at the tower. A comfortable day up at the
site (looks like the mosquitos are done for the year).
--------- Misc Notes:
* Took up the Monson Jeep.
* saw a deer cross the road just below the trailer (saw it from the
trailer window).
* stopped by Mcguckins and purchased one battery and a charger (and
also some plywood for the cart re-build).
---------
* when using the old data system to run the HYDRA (i think this
is on the ibm thinkpad??):

db9_ch2 = pig-tailed to db9_ch3
db9_ch3 = null modem connected right to

to go to db9_ch2. the other pigtail
goes to the opto22.
* at 10:38 MST, replaced span gas at tower.
New cylinder is CC187116 at 2000psi; airgas value = 400.0 ppm.
Old cylinder is CC86948 at 150 psi.
* between 11:11-12:20 MST, messed around with fittings for profile
system (some of them were a bit loose).
at 11:11 MST, zeroed li-6251 (value is approx 0.013 mV).
at 11:13:30 MST, switched to sample from inlet #1 (0.5m)
at 11:15:00, back to auto.
at 11:19:0, tightened fittings.
at 11:32:30 MST, blew into 0.5m inlet.
at 11:40 Mst, switched to level1 (0.5m), then blew into
the inlet, then saw a big jump in co2 at the li-6251.
at 11:50 MST, back to auto. tried blow test inside the
li-6251 box (w/ sampling set to level 1).
* also messed around with the flow rate/pressure settings on the
li-6251. there is something different about the new pump being used.
details here:
* tried to better match the sample and cal pressure in li-6251:
- first adjusted the flow rate of the sample pump from 14-->12.
(this made things worse)..
- so then adjusted pump flow rate to 17. this lowered Pcell
and makes the pressures closer with sample/cals.
* from 12:15-12:25 MST, fiddled with the span gas regulator pressure
some more.

it is 1/2" thick.

----------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, KS, MP
Purpose of visit: work on robots. put in new opto-22 board (hydra).
Weather: Overcast. And cool. And calm. It was nice and peaceful at
the top of the tower. There was a slight upslope in the morning and
then the wind went dead. A brief shower fell.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Left CU at 8:30am in the Monson Jeep.
* still lots of mushrooms popping up in the forest.
* stopped by Mcguckins and purchased two batteries and a charger.
---------
* the profiler pump still seems to be running ok. so the connection
is holding together (maybe placing it sideways helps).
* re-attached the opto22 board into the hydra box. The edgeport was
SUPPOSED to arrive at CU yesterday, but it wasn't there. However I
could still test it with the following (connect a straight-through
serial cable from a laptop to the opto22, then use hyperterm (get
hyperterm settings)). Then the following commands worked for the
opto22:
>00B0000?? - reset the opto22
>00IFFFF?? - set digital I/O lines as outputs
>00KFFFF?? - activate I/O lines
>00Jxxxx?? - turn on/off relays, where xxxx= hex code
example, ">00JAAAA??" turns on every other relay.
note, it is case-sensitive.
* AC power for hydra is connected to terminal strip #18.
* downloaded logger data (UC logger had a time problem):

At the site: SpB, JB, KS, MP, JM, NT
Purpose of visit: check on profile (li-6251). download logger data.
Weather: Clear skies. Some blustery winds (for the summer) in the
morning. A few clouds up on the divide as the day went on, but
generally very clear. Clouded up as I left (4pm).
--------- Misc Notes:
* Rented a suburban since there was a big crew. (i caught a ride
back down with the MRS shuttle).
* lots of mushrooms popping up in the forest.
* Two trees were harvested by Maggie and Co.
* stopped by Mcguckins and purchased two batteries and a charger.
---------
* the small pump for the profile system was running, but no longer
moving any air (it had been getting weaker and weaker, it looks like
it died on day=214). I started using the pump that is inside the
li-6251 box. This works fine, but the connector to run this pump
might need to be re-done (just before I was going to leave i noticed
it had stopped running so went back out and jiggled the wires to get
it going again).
* the battery running the soil logger was dead (it was from Feb,
2004). It looks like it died on aug 8th (today) at around 4am. Used
one of the batteries intended for the robots to get it going again.

Subject: Re: Sick Robots
Andy,
Well it looks like both robots batteries and/or chargers are
dead. Another data logger with a similar tower to charger to battery
to logger hook up has lost its charger and battery in the recent power
outages and we will be switching that out next week.
West Robot:
1. The "LED" is the Valco Valve display and it is blank.
2. We have been resetting the robot with the green plug.
3. The multimeter gave a read-out of 2.57 VDC
4. We move all switches from Auto to Off to On and back to Auto with no
response.
5. We have no (low) power from the batteries to the robot.
6. We do have power reaching the box from the tower but nothing beyond that, so I think we must have lost the batteries and/or the tric\
kle charger.
East Robot
1. Now the "LED' valco valve is black from the EP from last week.
2. the noise we head was intermittent and the was no smell abnormal to the
robot. There are also no toggle switches on the relay board for the East Robot
like there are for the West Robot.
3. The pump and everything else does not work at all. I checked the voltage at
the battery and the green plug and got a reading of 4.15 VDC.
4. When we saw the valco valve display was reading EP we notified Sean.
I will be emailing you the data from a computer in the lab later today.

Subject: CU Tower...
Hi,
fyi--most things are now "back to normal" at the CU tower. The damage
from the storm:
* 1 Edgeport/8 serial-to-usb converter (if it can't be fixed, then i
plan to buy a new one). Without some kind of serial-to-usb
converter I can't run hydra.
* 2 fried short-haul modems (can see (and smell) the burn mark on the
board). They might be able to be refurbish these, or else I will
buy replacements.
* reference temperature sensor on one cr23x is not working. this
cr23x is primarily used for measuring the tree bole temperatures
(and various other temperatures near the N Canopy tower). I'll
confirm that this is the problem and possibly buy a new ref temp
sensor (or send it back to campbell for repair). The AM25T mux'es
connected to this logger also seem to be having problems with their
ref temp sensors...
Steve O, what type of help do you need up here early next week? I'll
be out of town from Wed Jul 26 - Aug 5th, but I can help you next
Monday and/or Tuesday...
* add info about how to reset a cr23x!!
* found a few old logger files on the gateway laptop...these are very
small. They are:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 940 Jun 30 2005 soil6_3e.dat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1856 Jul 19 2005 tc7_19.dat*

Purpose of visit: Bring up a new transformer. Restore power to the tower.
Weather: Overcast and cool. A storm was coming in just as we were
leaving. But seemed to miss the tower.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Met at CU and came up in the Monson jeep.
* Jim Barclay (from Rainbow) left his gloves at the tower.
---------
* Hauled the ~180 lb tranformer out to the tower.
* The Rainbow folks set up the new transformer...and we had the EXACT
same problem. This was a bit puzzling. The fix (apparently) was to
slightly tighten the wire that connected the transformer to ground!
* when i tried to get the data system going again things did not look
good. the "met", "UC", and "UCb" loggers were all RIP. Also the ec
flux system was showing a very high flow rate and low h2o.ec values
(this is because the met logger program was reset). Note, that when
this program is reset you CANNOT control the valves in the ec box. I
didn't realize this...
* for the reasons above, before I left I powered off everything in the
EC/li-6262 box (and also disconnected the control cable, at the bottom
of the box). And closed the main valves on N2 and cal gas cylinders.
this did not turn out to be a problem!...here is an email from Andrew
with an explanation:

Subject: RE: Transformer Update...
Sean
Thanks -
The LI6262 valves may not be malfunctioning. I think the default status
when the dataloggers comes on is to have all the control ports low - this
turns on all the valves (ie., sends span gas to the IRGA). It does this
until it hits its first calibration - then it runs normally.
You can also manually fix this if logger is connected to the laptop - you
open up the Ports/flags window. You can either (1) close the ports manually
or (2) change one of the calibration flags so that it thinks that it is
going through a calibration - it goes through a calibration - then goes into
normal operation. I know that (2) works.
Also, fyi: I was too stupid to know how to fix this in the Campbell
programming at the time - now I know how:
All flags are set low the first time you start up the datalogger - so pick a
flag (for example: flag #4) and do a "If flag 4 is low - do subroutine 1"
(or some other number). In the subroutine: turn flag 4 high and set all the
control ports high (closes the valves). It will only do that subroutine the
first time through the program (flag 4 will always stay high after that).

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006 Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, KS, JB, MP
Purpose of visit: Check power situation. Harvest a tree.
Weather: Fairly calm and clear. Cu clouds formed in the afternoon.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Met at CU and came up in the Monson jeep.
* a power storm yesterday afternoon knocked out the power at the
tower. tripped the breaker at the road (so the trailer power also
went down).
---------
* it looked like something disrupted the usb hub at the
quacker...while i was looking at this (and trying to reboot the
system) the quacker died...here is some of the info from the logs:

Subject: Power at CU Tower down...
Hi All,
fyi---the power out at the CU tower is down...it sounds like there was
significant lightning up here yesterday afternoon (around 4pm). The
bottom breaker at CUFF was popped and the main breaker at the road was
also popped (which killed power to the trailer).
After disconnecting the power cables at the tower and then throwing
the breaker to the tower everything was ok (ie, there is no short in
the condiut from the road out to the tower). However, when only the
CUFF tower is connected (and the breaker box at the tower is
disconnected) the meter at the road was still going hog wild. This
means (i think) that the dry transformer at the tower is shorted out.
Dean, after i finished testing the CUFF tower I reconnected the power
to USGS. However, I noticed there was no power in the LI-7000
shed...so i went back and double-checked the power at your main
disconnect box...ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/060502/pic00010.jpg
there was 220VAC coming into the box, but it looks like one of the
cylindrical fuses (shown in the photo) has blown. From what I could
tell this fuse is labeled, "Bussman FRN-R-20". Also, the "Hut"
breaker, ie the lower one shown in:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/060502/pic00009.jpg
was in the "off" position. I wasn't sure if this was normal, or if
the lightning caused this to happen...i moved it back to the "on"
position before i left, but it was a bit of a moot point since the
main fuse was blown. I don't think I have any of those fuses...I
tried to get into your hut to look around, but the key only seemed to
work on the door and the deadbolt was locked??
I've contacted John Laydon and he's going to try and find a
replacement dry transformer that can be installed at the tower. This
is supposed to happen sometime within the next three days. Until then
all power is off at the tower...i'll update if/when i find out more.
thanks,
SpB.

Monday, July 17th, 2006 Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, KS, JB
Purpose of visit: Work on Hydra.
Weather: Very calm (and slightly overcast) in the morning. A storm
was brewing and there was some rumbling in the distance when we left
(around 3pm). Looked like some mammatus clouds were forming.
Apparently the storm broke around 4-4:30pm and knocked out the tower
dry transformer (see notes on July 18th).
--------- Misc Notes:
* Took up the MRS shuttle. Drove up the Monson Jeep (met at CU).
* re-adjusted my watch to match quacker/russter2 time.
---------
* took an inventory of the gas cylinders up at the trailer:
New N2 cylinders: CC153484, CC97978, CC198692
CC153468: 5125 ppm cylinder, at 1500 psi.
CC187116: 400.0 ppm (uncalibrated) co2, (outside)
CC57787: ~400 ppm at 1870 psi.
* for more info about opto22 see (this might have been on the
quacker?): src/lib/Opto22relay.h
9600 baud
No parity
8 data bit
1 stop bit
* to send opto22 output to a hyperterm need a null modem!
* created a program for testing the opto22...the old program that has
been running with the opto22 is:
[cuff@quacker ndaq]$ diff hydra_prog.txt hydra_prog_wc2_forpump_ver2.txt
the new program is "hydra_prog_testing.txt", so I did:
cp hydra_prog_testing.txt hydra_prog.txt
(this won't take effect until next time the ndaq gets restarted).
* at 10:52 MST, adjusted flow of li-6262 while downloading met logger
data. made several quick zeros and spans of li-6262. decreased the
span flow from 9.5 lpm to 9.26 lpm.
* downloaded logger data (no major time problems). reset ALL the
logger clocks to be consistent with quacker/russter2 time (using my
watch). The approx reset times are:
rad logger = off by ~10 sec
prf logger = off by ~30 sec
met logger slow by ~20 sec
ncar tc logger fast by ~13 sec
UCB logger slow by ~60 sec.
Logger files are:

Thursday, July 13th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, KS, JB
Purpose of visit: Work on Hydra.
Weather: Very warm and dry. Some gusts of wind. Feels like July has
arrived.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up the Monson Jeep (met at CU).
* a critter chewed through one of Jias cables.
---------
* re-soldered the db9 serial connector that connects the LI-7000
output to the quacker. (after doing this I was able to read in the
data from the LI-7000!).
* could NOT get the opto22 to work---need to run the serial output
from the quacker (chan 209, 2nd edgeport, port2) directly into a
laptop to see if this is spitting out what it should be spitting
out.
* when using 2 edgeports it's best to boot the quacker with one
edgeport...you should see something in the logs that looks like:

Wednesday, July 12th Visit:
---------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Work on Hydra.
Weather: Very warm and dry. No rain. Some Cu clouds around. LOTs
and LOTS of skeeters.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up the Monson Jeep
* Dean was up at the site with his 2 sons--it looks like he found a
small hole in the line for the 6m inlet at the CU tower.
---------
* added ln2 to laser (was at 28cm now at 38cm).
* brought up three new cylinders of N2 (get numbers!).
CC153484
CC97978
CC198692
* Deans pump is a Gast RAA-V210-EB (or maybe E8)
from Fiero Power, 303.431.3600
* I had the opto22 and LI-7000 cables backwards at HYDRA!! it
SHOULD be:
short haul, black box -- opto22
Tx- = wh/or
Tx+ = Or
Rx- = Wh/bl
Rx+ = blue
short haul, B&B, LI-7000
TdA (-) wh/or
TdB (+) or
TdA (-) blue
TdB (+) blue/white
For LI-7000 cable:
disconnected -->> pin 5 ---> 5 (at li-7000)
pin 3 ---> 3 (at li-7000)
pin 2 ---> 2 (at li-7000)
* critical for running hydra---need to modify a few files in the
directory /usr/local/ndaq on the quacker. the files are:
-rw-r--r-- 1 cuff cuff 342 Jul 12 14:16 channels.txt
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cuff cuff 168 Nov 2 2004 channels_1edgeport.txt

Monday, July 10th Visit:
-------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, KS, CT, JH, MP
Purpose of visit: Remove stuff off the tower with Chris Thomas. Test
out Hydra.
Weather: Ground/trees were pretty wet in the morning (it rained nearly
the entire weekend!)...a layer of clouds down on the plains and a bank
of clouds up at the divide. Some gusty downslope winds at times.
Pretty strong for the summer. Heard thunder, but never got hit by
rain.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Took the MRS shuttle, while Jia/Jeff/Kelly/Maggie drove up in the CU
jeep.
* Jeff picked up the jeep from the garage in the morning (they
replaced the gas cap).
* Jia/Maggie were flagging trees for cutting.
* Como and boulder creeks were ripping along.
---------
* tear down of the ORST Ameriflux IC. Helped Christoph haul out
a few things (he was pretty much ready to go in the morning).
* tried to re-connect the hydra.
* Error when trying to connect Hydra (on quacker):

Thursday, July 6th Visit:
-------------------------
At the site: SpB, JB, KS, CT, AT, TD, CD, S(?)
Purpose of visit: Replace the pump for the LI-6262. Start working on
Hydra.
Weather: Partly sunny or overcast most of the day. Kind of hazy out
on the plains and some thicker clouds up hanging on the divide. A bit
blustery (for the summer) in the morning. Some rain showers when we
were leaving (no lightning).
--------- Misc Notes:
* Took the MRS shuttle, while Jeff and Kelly drove up in the CU jeep.
Tony Delany came up to visit with Christoph...AT was up there too.
* the "check engine" light was on again in the jeep. Jeff is going to
take it in to the garage in the morning.
* took some photos of the IC setup in the morning.
* the new MS student (Lindsey) that works with Herm was up at the site.
---------
* from 10:02-10:40 MST, swapped out the LI-6262 GAST pump.
* on the ibm thinkpad laptop:
su - sburns
/usr/local/cuff/aster/projects/NIWOT/scripts/russter.up
* from 10:45-10:49 MST, changed around the regulator pressure on
the cal gas cylinder...
Sample Flow Rate = 9.44
Zero/N2 Flow Rate = 8.02
Span Gas Flow Rate = 7.94
@ 10:48 MST, increased the span gas flow rate,
P=54 (for N2)
P=53.5 (Span Gas)
@ 10:49 MST, back to sample....
* The mini power-outages are still going on (the UPS in the trailer is
clicking).

Friday, June 30th Visit:
------------------------
At the site: SpB, CT, JB, KS (pre-dawn)
Purpose of visit: Change profiler dessicant. Finish swapping out the
li-6262 inlet tubing.
Weather: Similar to yesterday. Clear with a few clouds in the
morning. Then clouding up and some thunder/lightning (mostly higher
up). A slow-moving rain band (virga) was hovering just NorthEast of
the tower for about an hour...
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up in the CU jeep. (grabbed it from Jeff after the
pre-dawn).
* the "check engine" light was on in the jeep. So i stopped by the
garage and they checked it over (seemed fine).
---------
* there were lots of mini power-outages over the night (Thur night).
This causes the UPS in the trailer to click on/off. UPS in the
trailer is a "Fortress" UPS. The problem is:
Line Light = On (green)
Battery Light = Periodically on/off (approx every 30 sec.).
then it shows the time left on the battery...like "20:00", "31:00".
* from 9:25-10:58 MST, replaced the 1/4" dekabon tubing for the flux
system (li-6262).
* from 11:12 - 11:31 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
- at 11:12 MST, did zero (value is approx 0 mV).
- at 11:26, did zero + blow test (ok). offset ~ 0.009 mV
- at 11:29-11:30:30, ran span gas into cell, span ~ 1.470 mV
- at 11:31:30, back to auto mode. flow rate at 10.
* the pump used by AT for the ozone flux was fried (looks like it
burned up!)...I powered off everything in the box with the pump.

Thursday, June 29th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, JB, KS, CT
Purpose of visit: Meet with Chris Thomas to haul stuff to the tower.
Swap out the li6262 tubing.
Weather: Clouds up near the mountains. These moved down and we had a
quick little storm (while everyone was on the tower trying to lash
down all of the OSU stuff!). The storm seemed to pass by quickly.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up in the CU jeep.
* we should get some more safety HELMETs for people to wear when
someone is working up high on the tower...
---------
* met up with Chris to haul stuff out to the tower. The cart is not
in good shape so we hand-carried the boxes (about 5-6 of them).
* Chris rigged up a pulley system to get the stuff up to the top of
the tower (including a 100 lb box!).
* from 13:00-13:15 MST, made some adjustments to the needle valve in
the li-6262 box. This seemed to bring the sample pressure/flow rate
in better line with the conditions in "sample" mode.
- at 13:00 MST, pressure was 55.4 kPa, Aux was -245.12 (not sure
what the "aux" values represent??)...
* Jeff/Kelly swapped flasks at the west robot in the afternoon and the
east one early the next morning (both had done=1):

tower (new, CC199739 at 2050 psi; old, CC17728).
* from 11:15-11:18 MST, adjusted zero and span on the li-6262.
* replaced the gelman filters for the inlets on the profiler (li-6251)
system.
* from 12:19-12:28 MST, Jeff did a few "huff" tests on the profiler
system (bottom 2 inlets only).
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

Thursday, May 18th Visit:
-------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, JB, KS
Purpose of visit: swap out the krypton hygrometer. adjust the
gas pressure on the li-6262.
Weather: A nice day. Sunny. Some Cumulus clouds. Still some snow
hanging around. Water on the trail.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Used the CU jeep.
* Jeff removed some of Herms stuff at mid-level. These were left
outside the fence around the tower.
* forgot to log out of the quacker!
* Jia was training Jeff/Kelly on the pressure bomb.
---------
* at ~1050 MST, connected the borrowed NCAR krypton hygrometer (sn 1389).
(i thought maybe it was working, but there is a problem with it!).
* fixed the thermocouple on channel 7 (2nd above ground). All I did was
twist the wires together.
* checked the pressure on the li-6262. the following:
P_sample = 53.3 kPa
P_n2 = 55.8 kPa
P_span = 56.1 kPa
* from 13:13-13:15 MST, playing with the pressure on the span regulator.
(in the end i lowered it slightly lowered it so the span and sample
are close to eachother).
* i think the valve on the span tank was not entirely open!! Just
fully opening this valve seemed to correct the problem with the
pressure.
* Jeff and Kelly swapped 4 flasks at the E/W robots.

Monday, May 8th Visit:
----------------------
At the site: SpB, JL, JH, NT
Purpose of visit: fix power problem.
Weather: Started off overcast with few snow flurries every now and
then. From 11:30-12:30 MDT some wet heavy snow fell..then around 2pm
the sun came out. Gusty. Totally socked in up at higher elevation.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up my own Jeep.
* there was a set of fairly fresh "cat" tracks on the trail out to the
tower (Steve S said there have been a lot of bobcat around recently).
* Nicole was gathering stuff from the trailer.
* Jia was doing tree core-type stuff.
---------
* met John L at MRS at 8am (MDT).
* John L and I pulled the electric cables back through the conduit.
After that he spliced together all the wires that were in each of
the junction boxes along the trail. Then we could power everything
back on again. John L also replaced that problematic GFI outlet
that was at the base of the CU tower. (i should add a bungee cord
around that plastic box).
* at around 11:30 MDT the power was back on and the data system was
running. email:

Subject: power is back...
Hi,
fyi--power is back...weather is not too greaet so i'm not going to be
staying long...i hear both laser pumps running...opened all main
valves except the one on the far right which was closed when i closed
them. so i left it closed. dean, you should have power...we have 235
volts at the CU tower..each line is running on about 114V. hopefully
this is ok at USGS. your main switch is still OFF.
i'm logging out and won't check my email again until i'm back in the
trailer..out of the snow. noah, i will try and resend your
program...but i think our battery out there is dead.
SpB.
* after power came back up, the h2o signal from the li6262 was
negative..and the others were acting strange. So i needed to make
another trip out there...it seemed to come back after a little wire
wiggling and open/closing the box. I also resent the program to the
logger...not sure which one fixed it (i think the wires in the box).
It turned out that ALL the signals were off, but h2o was the most
obvious. I might need to check those wires and make sure everything
is ok with them...everything was running ok at around 12:20 MST.

Subject: Power Update...
Date: Wed, 03 May 2006 16:15:58 -0600
From: "Sean Burns"
Hi,
today we (hopefully) found the problem with the power. Looks like
there was a short in the junction box that was near where the cable
crossed the trail (ie, only a few 100 feet from the tower). What it
seems has happened is that gravity/settling over the years has caused
the conduit to slide downhill and/or shift a bit. . .this caused the
cable to tighten (when we first opened that transformer on MOnday the
cables were tight and the condiut was pulled way down to the corner of
the box...that things had shifted so much surprised John L a
bit). . .the extra stress on the cable must have compromised the
connection in that one junction box where the cables were spliced
together.
Unfortunately JOhn L yanked on the cable (which completely separated
the splice) and pulled it through the conduit back to the CU tower (he
did this since we were having to dig through the snow to find the
j-boxes and didn't find that one until he had already pulled the cable
through)...anyway, since the cable was now outside the condiut it was
necessary to get the cable back into the condiut....around this time
it started thundering..and snowing...and then John L started losing
feeling in his left foot. so we had to call it a day without
finishing everything...it's probably another 3-4 hours of work...we
are planning to meet again on Friday to finish this up.
What would have been a fairly simple thing to check was made a lot
more difficult by all the snow up there (and not knowing exactly where
the splices were located)...after the snow is gone I will put some
kind of bamboo stick or something to mark exactly where the jboxes
with splices are (in case they ever need to be accessed again in the
winter). I can also check and make sure that these all appear to be
well sealed and in good shape...also, i think it might be a good idea
to put some kind of grating or dig a small ditch to better protect the
fiber optic cable where it crosses the trail...

Subject: Update...
Hi,
fyi---A/C power at the CU/USGS tower is officially down until further
notice. Power in the trailer is ok (so you can still warm up your
soup in the microwave and the radios will stay charged and russter2
will stay on). Photos from today are at:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/photos_060502.html
A few notes:
1. looks like the "dry" transformer out at the CU tower is now shorted
out. A photo of the transformer schematic is:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/060502/pic00016.jpg
i was finding continuity between X1 and X4 which (i think) tells me
that the coil has shorted out?? also i was finding continuity on the
2 lines that go into the transformer...which doesn't seem correct to
me (this is with all the breakers in the "off" position).
2. After disconnecting everything out at the CU tower (ie,
disconnecting the lines that John L spliced together yesterday--the
lines that go to USGS tower, the lines that go to the CU tower and the
lines that come from C1) I went back to C1 and checked for continuity
in the cables at C1...this location is:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/060502/pic00001.jpg
or the photo from yesterday:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/060501/pic00004.jpg
I checked the two lines that that go out to the tower for
continuity...note, at the CU tower end of these lines the cables are
wrapped in electrical tape, ie:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/060502/pic00019.jpg
and when i checked the lines at C1 I found one wire was ok (when
compared to ground/conduit), but the other one beeped continuity. My
conclusion (and Mark L agreed with me) is that we have a short in one
of our lines out to the tower...and now we also have a trashed
transformer at the tower that needs to be replaced...John told me the
only reason that transformer is there is to get a neutral line (it
took him several minutes to figure out why it was there at all). I'm
not sure how critcal this is...but we might possibly be able to bypass
this transformer too?
When i get back down I'll talk to John Laydon about what's going
on...from my perspective, these are the options i see:
1. pull the cable. This seems difficult...especially with snow up
here...it might also be expensive?? Someone that helped set this up
might have a better idea about it...and maybe can supply some advice
about this?
2. splice in somewhere along the cable to try and isolate the problem.
this might be helpful since we wouldn't need to pull the entire cable.
3. wait till things dry out and try it again (this is probably a terrible
idea and i wouldn't do it). Also, this problem might be intermittent
which means it might come back again..
4. move to the wilds of alaska and forget all about the tower. . .
Also, i did take a quick look at the cable near the creek...there was
one section that i could unscrew...i did this to look for water in the
line, but it seemed ok. the photos of this are:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/060502/pic00003.jpg
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/060502/pic00004.jpg
Laser folks, i wasn't sure if it's better to close the main valves on
your cylinders or not, so i left them open. I assume all the valves
are closed so maybe it doesn't matter...I guess someone needs to keep
on adding liquid N2 (even with the power off) so if the cylinder
valves should be closed maybe lucas can do that. for future ref, if
the power is down is there any advantage to keeping the N2/5% co2
valves open?
It sounds like the weather is turning for the rest of this week...in
fact it's starting to snow a little bit right now. so i probably have
no plans to come back up here..esp until we have a plan as to what to
do. Russ, please advise as to what you want done...
also, on the brighter side, there were some bear tracks out near deans
tower...look at:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/060502/pic00007.jpg
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/060502/pic00012.jpg
if that's not a bear track i don't know what it would be...he/she was
heading to higher country (after a long winters nap?).

Subject: tower power...
Hi,
fyi---power is back on up here. John Laydon from Rainbow Elec checked
it out. The transformer near C1 has a short in it. We had 2
options---get a new transformer (which would have probably taken a few
days) or bypass it. John bypassed the transformer at C1 (and we also
now bypasses the transformer at the tower)...this will probably have
some effect on our load capacity out at the tower...Dean this might
impact you more than us (since you are out at the end of the
line)...everything i've checked up to now at the CU tower seems ok.
Dean, if you are having problems with a lack of power then i guess we
need to look into buying a new transformer (to replace the one that
broke). John said they might have a used one at CU somewhere...
utah folks, if you want to check the laser nows your chance....i'll be
up here another hour (at least) and i'll check my e-mail again before
i leave the tower in case there is something i can do...

Friday, April 28th Visit:
-------------------------
At the site: SpB, ML, SS
Purpose of visit: investigate russter2 problem (off the network).
Weather: Some fresh snow. A bit overcast.
--------- Misc Notes:
* drove my Jeep up.
* Sean S was leaving as we were heading up the road.
---------
* Mark O'keefe drove up to help troubleshoot the power problem--at
this point we discovered that we could keep the power to the trailer
on, but not to the main tower.
* Mark L and I went out to the tower to investigate there. The plan
was to turn off all the breakers at the tower and then throw the
breaker back at C1 on again. And then flip on each breaker one at a
time...as soon as Mark threw the power on it tripped the main breaker.
* Andrew Turnipseed recommended contacting John Laydon at Rainbow
Electric (http://www.rainbow-electric.com/intro.jsp, 303.682.5300)
since he was the one that helped set up power for the tower.

Wednesday, April 26th Visit:
-------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, SS
Purpose of visit: download logger data.
Weather: Clear skies in the morning then some fair-weather Cumulus
clouds in the afternoon. The clouds were changing quickly. Not very
windy at all. Como creek was "gurgling" for the first time. Had
about a foot of snow on Monday-Tuesday.
--------- Misc Notes:
* rented a Jeep from CU (got the teal one).
* picked up three N2 cylinder from C-434 before going up to the site.
Left one N2 cylinder in C-434.
* didn't use snowshoes (experienced a few post-holes, but not too
bad). The snowpack is still keeping structure, but it won't last long
(esp. with more warm weather like today).
---------
* Jia "the animal" Hu hauled one N2 cylinder out to the tower, and i
hauled out two.
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 62 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 75 cm
farthest probe = 87 cm
* Downloaded logger data (no time problems):

--------- Misc Notes:
* Met Jia and Jeff at CU. Drove up my jeep.
* Jia was digging 10 snow pits (5 east and 5 west of the main tower).
* Jeff made his first trip up to the site.
* a gray jay was pestering me.
* first trip with daylight savings time.
---------
* from 9:30-9:32 MST rebooted russter2 for OS update.
* from 12:30-14:15 MST, moved the check valve from up near the li-6262

Friday, March 23rd Visit:
-------------------------
At the site: SpB, DM, AW, NM, D
Purpose of visit: install check valve, download logger data,
helicopter fly-by.
Weather: A few gusts of wind. Some wave-like clouds up high. Fairly
pleasant for March. Lots of new snow up around the site.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Got a prius from CU. Made an early trip up since the helicopter was
planning to be at the tower at 9:30. Andy Watt (NCAR/EOL) was the
contact person for the copter.
* Noah Molotch was doing some snow spectrometer measurements (he had
been there on Thurs and was also planning to go up on Saturday). It
was interesting to see how they were done...
* Dave Moore made his first trip up to the site.
---------
* the helicopter showed up at around 10am. It flew by the tower
about 3-4 times. Dave and I were up at the top....not really knowing
what to do!?
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = buried
TP101 461 middle probe = 119 cm
farthest probe = 124 cm
* at around 10:30 MST, swiped the krypton hygrometer (i think i
dropped the little plastic squirt bottle...and lost it?).
* from 12:50-13:30 MST, added the check valve to the li-6262. I put
it at the side of the box where the Nupro filter used to be. There is
a 1/3 psi "cracking" pressure to open the valve...the flow rate is
slightly decreased and the pressure in the cell changes by around 4psi
with the addition of this valve. After thinking about this I should
try putting it right at the pump instead of up by the box...this might
help minimize the loss in flow rate?
* at ~14:30 MST, swapped the span gas at the tower (old
cylinder=CC156367, new cylinder= CC86948, at 1800 psi). Passed a leak
check ok.
cylinder CC86948 calibrated on 051108 (Airgas value=404.2)
li6251 cal= 406.4, 406.82, 405.11, 406.47 = 406.2 ppm. std dev=0.75
* While shoveling snow I clipped the line to the N2 cylinder. Needed
to replace the swagelock fitting at the end of this tube. It didn't
seem to be leaking, but should check this next time I'm up there.
* hauled 2 empty gas cylinders back to the trailer.
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

Monday, March 6th Visit:
------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: install borrowed li-6262, download logger data.
Weather: Amazing. Warm, and calm. slight downslope wind. The day
started off clear. Clouded up around mid-day, then cleared up again
in the late afternoon. Some serious melt going on as it's been warm
recently. Snow on the trail is still holding up ok, but did a few
postholes.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up my jeep (looks like it's fixed!).
* brought up some 1/4"(?) copper tubing for the heat exchanger in
the co2 flux system (didn't install yet).
* did a little filing work on the door of the trailer. WD-40 seemed
to help it close a bit easier.
* brought the Monson 10L ln2 dewar back down to campus. (still needs
a cap from John Miller).
---------
* hauled out a calibrated co2 gas cylinder (no here).
* there is something a bit funky with the time on the quacker. i set
my watch based on the quacker time and all data loggers seemed to be
running about 2 minutes slower than that time...also the time between
russter2 and the quacker are different.
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 61 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 75 cm
farthest probe = 77 cm
* replaced our LI-6262 (IRG3-638) with the loaner from LI-COR (IRG3-224).
* Borrowed li-6262 from LI-COR (IRG3-224)... coefficients (mailed
with the LIcor) are:

Wednesday, February 22nd Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB, NM
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check gas cylinders, install
borrowed li-6262.
Weather: Windy and fairly cold. Could see snow particles blowing off
the divide (when looking up). The drifts in the trees are quite deep.
But the roads are basically snow-free in all the exposed spots.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up a CU rental prius.
* there had been a "red snow" event the previous thursday (apparently
dust from the SW deposited over colorado). lots of red spots in the
snow.
* the snow was light and powdery (in the trees).
* Noah Molatch was at the trailer when i arrived. he was picking up
the spectrometer to bring back to campus...
* brought down the pressure bomb regulator/connector for Jia.
* the door of the trailer is not in very good shape.
---------
* filled the laser with a shot of ln2 (level went from 3cm to 13cm).
* on the way back down filled one 10L dewar with LN2 and that drained
the 160L dewar (Kirk ordered a replacement).
* carried up a replacement li-6262. Decided to wait for a nicer day
when i had more time to do the swap (plus I couldn't come up tomorrow
so didn't want to make any major changes in a rush). left the
borrowed li-6262 in the shed.
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 71 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 85 cm
farthest probe = 89 cm
* the extra cylinder at the tower is:
SG9151924BAL: 401.8 ppm at 1500 psi. (was going to be used at the east robot).
(i never did a in-trailer cal on this one)
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

Subject: pfp changing
Hi Kirk,
I totally spaced this, but please switch out the pfp currently in the
shed and bring back the old one to C1 (MRS is possible, but I
recognize th at this may be too difficult with LN2 to worry about.)
Here's the routine:
1. The pfp has four things coming into it:
a. a thermocouple into the top
b. a power cord from the compressor unit (the other black
suitcase closer to the laser)
c. a communications cord coming from the little tan box
d. an air line coming from the compressor
2. All of these need to be unattached and reattached to the new pfp.
-- the power and communications cord can be plugged into either
port; they're interchangeable
-- the o-ring on the air line 'quick connect' can get hard at low
temps, it may need some force to attach it; I think removing it
should be easy though. (I showed you this before, but the
quick connects are either attached or detached by pushing or
pulling on the spring, so figure this out before using a lot
of force.)
3. Once everything is attached, the 'pilot display unit', (velcroed
to the top of the laser), should say 'start system test', and a green
light should be on, on the pfp. If there is no light, check the
connections. If the pilot display doesn't say 'start system test',
then turn off th e _compressor_ unit power and turn it on again.
Then flick the switch on the pilot display (it bouces back up; that's
fine) and the compressor will go through its test. You should here
some sound and see that in the end the display says something like
'go to 10013 ft'.
Thats it!
Thanks and I hope you get this today!
Also, give me a call at 303-492-2898 if you have any questions,
John

Saturday, February 4th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data, check gas cylinders.
Weather: Dead calm when i arrived. However, by the time I was at the
tower it was blowing downslope like a motha'. Clear in the morning,
some clouds developed in the afternoon, but it never snowed. Lots of
fresh snow on the ground (around 5 inches). My tracks heading out to
the tower were covered by the time i returned!
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up my own jeep. skiied from MRS up to the tower.
---------
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 74 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 88 cm
farthest probe = 92 cm
* from 13:50-14:00 MST, made some flow adjustments to the li6262.
Also, for some reason the span gas cylinder was at 30psi (instead of
20psi). Turned this back down to 20psi.
* from 14:35-15:50, replaced N2 cylinder. Using Jias steel cylinder.
(it might have a small leak?...it seem to have a small change when
doing the leak check). The prev cylinder was right near zero psi...
* downloaded logger data (no time problems). The files are:

Saturday, January 21st Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB, DL
Purpose of visit: download logger data.
Weather: Clear and windy (downslope winds) and cold. Some fresh snow
on the ground. There is a pretty good path established out to the
tower. The wind almost completely stopped as we were ready to leave.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up my own jeep. Don Lenschow came along to do some
skiing.
* skiied out to the tower.
---------
* downloaded logger data (no time problems). The files are:

* there were 2 full 10L dewars of LN2 in the trailer (courtesy of John
Miller). so I brought one of them out to the tower and emptied it.
The level went from 13.5 to 27cm.
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 64 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 79 cm
farthest probe = 87 cm

Friday, January 6th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: liquid N2, finish KZ CNR1, download logger data.
Weather: Clear and windy (downslope winds). Not too cold so working
without gloves was ok. It's been blowing hard all week.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up my own jeep.
* Dean Anderson was going to the usgs tower.
---------
* downloaded logger data (time problem on uc logger). The problem
seemed to start during the power outage on 12/28/2005. note: this
means the battery for the uc logger might need to be replaced...files

* fixed up the uc1_6*.dat file for the time problem...the fixed file
is: uc1_6_fixed.dat
* the 2-d handar at 1.61m did not seem to be working (giving garbage
for ws/wd and i couldn't hear any "beeping" at the sensor)...when i
power cycled it it seemed to come back (at around 12:50 MST).
* from 14:00 - 14:18 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
- at 14:00 MST, did zero (value is approx -0.0013 mV).
- at 14:15:00, reconnected
- at 14:15:30, did zero + blow test (ok). offset ~ -0.008 mV
- at 14:14:47, ran span gas into cell, span ~ 1.412 mV
- at 14:18:00, back to auto mode. flow rate at ~14.
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 54 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 65 cm
farthest probe = 68 cm
* at around 15:00 MST connected T.case to the KZ cnr1 sensor. I was
waiting for the wind to calm down all day...but it never happened.
so finally i bit the bullet and went up and added the resistors and
moved the photodiode sensors. it was windy, but do-able. the final
wiring on the CNR logger is:

Subject: Laser ln2, etc.
Hi,
John, i'm going to leave the orange sled in the snowmobile shed for
now. . .
here's my update from today:
1. brought up 10L of ln2. laser dewar was at 24cm, now at 35.5cm.
it's still not 100% full. btw, i have been recording the ln2 depths
on the urquell calendar as a way to keep track of how much ln2 is
being used by the laser...this is at:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/calendar/
2. noticed the flow rate for the 5% co2 was at zero...so i slightly
increased the delivery pressure and it started moving gas. set the
flow to be around 10. it's difficult to read the pressures for the 5%
co2 cylinder since it's at a funny angle...i'm not sure if a vibration
by the pumps could cause the regulator delivery pressure to
change??...if i had thought of this while i was out there i might have
put a small piece of duct tape on it...the N2 flow rate was up around
18 so i turned it down to around 12. the pressure in the N2 tank
seemed fine (i didn't write it down)...
3. I moved up the lower inlets so they are around 50cm above the snow.
snow depth right now is around 70cm (in the trees). this should keep
the inlets out of the snow for a while...hopefully until we start
getting our upslope storms in March. To move them up higher some kind
of pole/stick will be needed to extend the height...they are at the
top of the pole kirk and i used.
4. i'm going to bring down the 10L dewar i have and fill it with LN2
and leave it in the garage.
unless there is a problem at the tower i'm not planning to come up
here next week...my next time up here would probably be late in the
week after that (ie, two weeks from now).
SpB.
* updated ops.info and ops.config on russter2 for ops26. (note, on
Jan 9th, transferred the new ops files to urquell/porter).
* reran the covar files starting at the date when the ucb logger was
connected to the data system (28 October 2005). so here's what i
did with covar_redo:
Fri Jan 6 09:52:44 MST 2006
cd /usr/local/isff/aster/projects/NIWOT/scripts/

echo "Do set_project."
exit 1
endif

Tuesday, January 3rd Visit:
---------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: liquid N2, finish KZ CNR1.
Weather: Lots of blowing snow and wind. Not too cold, but working
without gloves started to feel it (especially at the top of the
tower). Downslope. Gusty. The snow was pulverized pellets being
blown off the divide.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up a CU prius (in the snow).
---------
* the LN2 in the laser was at ZERO!...filled it up with what I had
with me (and the little bit that was left at the tower from last
time). This only brought it up to around 11cm.
* managed to connect the CNR1 SW down and LW up/down wires for the
CNR1 and upload the new program (rad_01.csi). It was blowing snow and
windy...too difficult to set up the resistors and the Pt-100 for
T.case under these conditions. I'll have to do this another day.
* started running ops26 and collecting the CNR1 data.

--------- Misc Notes:
* I drove my Jeep up (met Jia at CU).
* Jia was downloading sap flow data.
---------
* we hauled up two 10L dewars of LN2 in the MRS red sled. It was
useful to have one person making sure they didn't tip over and the
other person pulling.
* topped off the LN2 from 14.5 to 38cm (which is completely full).
Moved snow from under the laser inlets (better to move the inlets UP).
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 50 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 61 cm
farthest probe = 62 cm
* modified the new CNR logger program in the trialer, but it was too
windy to go up the tower, do the wiring, and upload a new program. new
program is:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 7738 Dec 21 10:48 rad_01.csi*
* prepared the new ops files (ops26) for collecting the kz cnr1 data.
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

Friday, December 16th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Download logger data. setup the KZ CNR1. Swap
the 5% co2 for the laser. fill LN2 at laser.
Weather: Cold (very) and calm. Wind started to pick up a bit
after noon. Some fresh snow, but the road is still primarily
snow-free.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Originally was going to rent a suburban (they were out of Jeeps). When
I got to the CU rental place there was a jeep available so i took it.
* brought a N2 and 5% co2 cylinder up from CU to MRS. I thought there
were going to be 4 cylinders but turns out there were only two (one
of each). Also brought up an extra 10L dewar for LN2.
* Drove up the snow-cat (trained by Duane). He walked up with Bear.
---------
* used the snowcat to bring up both cylinders and 3 10L dewars of LN2.
installed the 5%co2 cylinder at the tower and brought out 2 of the 10L
dewars. The third 10L dewar is hidden in the trees near the bridge
over como creek (get it next time). The 5% co2 was at 1650 psi.
* from 13:00-14:00, installed the KZ CNR1. Probably should have had a
2nd person to help with this. Was able to set it up, but didn't get a
chance to connect the wiring (only incoming SW...using the wrong
factor to convert from mV to W/m2). (too windy and cold to work on
this).
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 41 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 51 cm
farthest probe = 50 cm
* downloaded logger data:

Thursday, December 8th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Swap N2 at tower. download logger data. Bring
up the KZ CNR1.
Weather: Cold (very) and windy (very). Nice wave clouds. We are at
the tail end of a deep freeze with lots of wind.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up my jeep. finished the critical stuff I needed to do so
I cancelled the CU reservation for Friday (e-mail to Cassie from
the trailer).
* lots of wind-blown snow. the road was bare in places. I brought my
skis, but never used them. hard to ski when hauling stuff and there
were lots of rocks. trail to the tower was blown over for the most
part.
---------
* The orange sled was at MRS so I used this to bring up the KZ CNR1
and a full 10L dewar of LN2. the sled worked ok, except in the
trees it wanted to tip over. The 10L dewar fell over one time and i
lost a little bit of LN2. . .i left the orange sled in the trailer.
If things need to be hauled from MRS use the red sled which is in
Kurts office. I talked to Kurt about this and he said it's fine to
use it just return it when you are done. If possible e-mail the
people that use this sled on the days you plan to use it...these
are: Jacques Hueber (Jacques.Hueber@colorado.edu) and Kurt Chowanski
(Kurt.Chowanski@colorado.edu) in case they have plans to use it that
same day. Or, we buy a 2nd sled to leave at MRS?
* for CNR1. talked to Steve Semmer at ncar a bit about the
measurement of a pt-100. the diagram of the 4WPB100 Module in the
CNR1 manual by campbell (fig 5.2) appears to be WRONG. The correct
diagram for a 4-wire half bridge is in the cr23x manual (Fig 7.8.1).
The measurment will require adding 2 resistors to the cr23x terminal
strip. A 10 Kohm resistor between EX1 and H6. And a 100 ohm
resistor between L5 and H5. I bought these resistors and they are
in the trailer (steve also gave me a few). Will set this up if we have
a calm day next week.
* Also checked with Andrew turnipseed about the CNR1 wiring. his

Sean
I really have little to no recollection on the CNR-1 wiring except that we
figured out that the up/down long wave sensors were wired backwards by the
company. I think Peter Blanken actually hooked it up for me originally and
I stole some Campbell code from him and modified it to read it.
As for resistors for the temp. sensors - if you still have my old notebook
with wiring diagrams in it - I would look at the CNR/light data logger and
see if it has the resistors in the drawing - otherwise, I'm not sure what I
know. Its probably like the 4-wire bridge measurement that you use for the
Vaisala RH/Temp. sensors though.
Ozone sensors - yes - I will probably turn those back on in April (as soon
as I can after returning from our Mexico City campaign).

Hi Andrew,
I'm setting up a new CNR-1 radiometer at the top of the tower...we
have the one with a Pt-100 temperature sensor...it looks like there
needs to be a few resistors added to the wiring to correctly measure
the temperature...i was looking at an old photo of the wiring when
peter blankens CNR1 was on the tower...this is:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/030602/pic00031.jpg
are the resistors hidden inside the black heat shrink? Is that why
the heat shrink was added? (eg, the red wire which goes to EX1). Or
was it like this when you got it?
thanks for any info you might recall about this...also, is your plan
to turn back on the ozone sensors in the spring?
thanks,
SpB.
* from 15:30-16:00 MST, replaced N2 cylinder at the tower. New
cylinder is CC125586. Old Cylinder is CC97978 (left at the tower).
(did a leak check for ~ 30min.)
* topped off the laser LN2. Was at 17.5cm, filled to 28cm.
* confirmed that the 5% co2 cylinder that was at zero psi. the N2
cylinder is still at 500 psi. Are they noticing that the 5% co2
cylinder is empty in the data?
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 40 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 50 cm
farthest probe = 50 cm
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

(this means these can go at least 2.5 weeks without a download)
* When i returned to MRS I filled one 10L dewar with LN2. This
drained the 160L dewar. [A new 160L is to be delivered on Wed, 12/14,
and they are supposed to take down both empty 160L dewars]. Brought
both 10L dewars (one full, one empty), LN2 hose, and crescent wrench
up to the snowmobile shed before I left.
* pfp procedure (from John Miller):
[Kirk, I was expecting you to do this, but perhaps Sean can; and if
neither of you can it's not the end of the world.]
They can go in the MRS 'lobby' where the couches are.
If you change out the pfp's tomorrow, this is the protocol.
1. Get the NEC palmtop *and* connector cables from Kurt, Mark or Lucas
(I'll email them ahead of time). If you get it by yourself, it is
located on the wooden desk immediately to your right after entering
Kurt's room. The connector cables will be in the drawer of that
wooden table.
At the shed:
2. Unplug the following from the current pfp:
a. Air inlet quick connect (leftside of pfp)
b. Power connector (leftside of pfp)
c. Thermocouple (top of pfp)
3. With the new pfp, plug in everything that was just unplugged from the
previous one.
Note that it doesn't matter which port you plug the power cable into,
they will both work.
4. Now plug in the palm top. It's connector is exactly the same as the
power cable, and again it doesn't matter which port it's plugged into.
5. Now start communicating with the pfp via hyper-term on the NEC.
a. power up the palmtop (top right of keyboard)
b. start menu -> Programs -> Communication -> Terminal
[There should be an existing icon that says something like: 'pfp' or
'tvan' or the like.]
c. click the icon to start hyper-terminal.
d. press enter and a menu should appear with the prompt: AS> [hit enter
again and a menu appears]
e. type 'T' (for test), (then enter)
f. type 'S' (for system test) , (then enter)
g. after the pfp has passed the system test, about one minute, quit out
of the Test menu and return to the main menu. This should now read:
AS/AUTO>
6. Disconnect the palmtop, and you're done.
If these seems like too much to digest, don't worry about it, and we
can do this later (possibly the 19th or if I have surgery, I'll
install the pilot display this weekend, so it will be easier for you
or Kirk.) I was orginally expecting the 'pilot display' to be
installed by now, in which case, all you would have to do is steps
1-3, and then start the system test by pressing a button on the
pilot display.

Sunday, November 20th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB, KR, JM, J
Purpose of visit: Set up the pfp. download logger data. swap
robot flasks. laser maintenance.
Weather: Warm, calm, and blue skies. Unseasonably warm and calm. no
clouds to be seen---nice! road was snow covered and about a foot in
the trees.
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up CU prius. met at instaar and carpooled from there.
* saw a healthy looking coyote on the nederland bypass/shortcut.
* borrowed a sled from MRS (kurt) to haul up the stuff.
* John Miller was setting up the pfp.
---------
* the 160L dewar was delivered to MRS in the sun-room outside of MRS
(not to the garage)...call Steve S to let him know we will fix this
problem.
* at 12:18 MST, filled LN2 cylinder (from 12cm to 25.5 cm).
* at 13:00 MST, swiped the krypton hygrometer. Kirk and I noticed the
21.5m csat had moved!!
* it looks like the csat was maybe shifted by around 5-10 deg to the
southeast...so instead of being around 196 deg it was more like 185
deg?? We have had some high winds which is the cause of this. We
swung the sonic over and the bolt was a bit loose. we straigtened it
and put it back out.
* at 14:00 MST, we made first adjustment of the 21.5m csat.
* at 15:40 MST, we made a 2nd adjustment of the 21.5m csat (to try and
get the bubble level a bit more centered).
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes (note depth is at BOTTOM
of orange tape):
closest to tree = 22 cm
TP101 461 middle probe = 32 cm
farthest probe = 32 cm
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

Tuesday, November 8th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB, LSD
Purpose of visit: Switch li-6251 dessicant. Calibrate cylinders in
the trailer. Haul cylinders down to CU.
Weather: Blustery (downslope). Very Warm and sunny in the morning.
Dark and ominous up at the divide. Some light snow flurries as we
were leaving. Road is snow-free. Some light snow in the trees (melting
fast).
--------- Misc Notes:
* Drove up CU jeep (aqua one).
* brought 2 gas cylinders back down to campus (CC114714 (SM) + one Airgas
cylinder. The SM cylinder at the tower is CC66823.
* Mike left a bit after we arrived (with his soil samples).
---------
* filled baby-food jars with dessicant and distributed it to all the
data logger boxes that are on the ground.
* Laura was taking dendrometer readings. She also double-checked
these with DBH readings.
* at 11:20 MST, re-connected the amp connector for small profiler pump
that is inside the li-6251 box. seems to work fine (just in case we
need to switch to this pump in mid-winter is is more-or-less ready to
go). This connector uses pins 1,2,4 on the amp connector.
* from 11:27 - 11:48 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
("BT" was no longer flashing on the front panel...btw, LiCor said not to worry about th e
BT flashing (might be a power issue))
- at 11:27 MST, did zero (value is approx 0.001 mV).
- at 11:44:00, reconnected
- at 11:45:30, did zero + blow test (ok). offset ~ -0.007 mV, span ~ 1.373 mV
- at 11:48:00, back to auto mode. flow rate at ~13.
* calibrated 2 more cylinders in the trailer (put details here).
Brought the li-6251 (sn xxxx) back down to campus.
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

* laura dug up 2 bags of soil to give to phillip:
"One bag is the "organic layer" excluding most of the litter layer on the
surface, but including most of the organic-mineral interface (a grey-ish
fungal layer). This was probably the top 7cm of soil. The other bag is
the mineral layer, including any rocks I found. Have fun! If you want
concrete organic content measurements we can do that for you, but we also
have averages for these."

Tuesday, November 1st Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Swap span gas. Calibrate cylinders in
the trailer.
Weather: Blustery. There were some strong downslope gusts, but also
some calm periods (esp in the late afternoon). Not quite as warm as
it has been, but still in the 40s. High thin clouds.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up CU compact (prius).
---------
* at 11am rebooted russter2 in the trailer (security patch upgrades)
* at 14:35 MST, topped off LN2 for laser (final level is at 35.5 cm).
* was FINALLY able to calibrate some cylinders in the trailer...i
discovered if you tap the top of the li-6251 it would work ok.
Otherwise, it would give a very low value (eg, when it should be 1.43
it would give 0.34). Tapping it seemed to make it work...but it was
necessary to keep on tapping it from time-to-time...might need to
contact LiCor and send this back...(PS: this problem was due to a
loose jumper wire that connects inputs 9-11 to input 12 on the back
panel barrier strip!!).
* need to change the pins in the amp connector for the li-6251 pump!!
(purple wire needs to go to ground...)
* on the tc23x logger / AM25T moved 3 of the thermocouples that were
on the branches. Details:
chan6 (on AM25T) now touching trunk
chan7 (on AM25T) mid-branch, ~10cm from trunk
chan8 (on AM25T) branch tip, ~30cm from trunk
* at ~15:30 MST, swapped span gas cylinder at the tower:
new cylinder: CC156367 (Airgas)
old cylinder: CC114714 (S-M)
* from 16:14-16:18 MST, ran span gas and zero through the li-6251.
varied the pressure slightly on the span tank regulator.
* downloaded logger data (no time problems, PRF logger was around 45
sec fast, reset the time on this logger):

* setup the li-6251 (Serial No. IRG3-308) in the trailer and was using
it to calibrate some span tanks. it appears to be working ok (if you
tap it every now and then). Here are the recalibration values:

338: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 16-Nov-2005 13:17:31 MST, site visit on Tuesday, October 25th (SpB, JH, LSD)
Tuesday, October 25th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, LSD
Purpose of visit: Switch charger for soil logger. Take down
orst prt temperature sensor.
Weather: Sunny. Calm. Warm.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up CU Jeep.
* Laura was collecting litter. Jia was removing some probes and getting
ready for winter.
---------
* tapped holes for the profiler pump and brought it out to the
tower---the pump didn't seem to get power. Need to check the
connections compared to the old pump (which is in the trailer).
* connected the ucb logger to the data system...i'm just using a
straight serial cable (~77' long). It might be a bit too far to do
without the shorthaul modems. This goes to port3 on edgeport.
* checked the pins on this serial cable...everything is straight
through except for pins 4 & 6 that were open.
* jia helped me take down the orst prt temperature sensor (and
aspiration unit).
* dowloaded logger data:

* at 12:40 MST, sun is on one tall snowtemp probe, but NOT the
other one. (look at that data near this time period!).
337: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 16-Nov-2005 13:15:38 MST, site visit on Monday, October 24th (SpB, JH)
Monday, October 24th Visit:
---------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH
Purpose of visit: Check on program updates from last week. Change
Nupro filters on li-6262. Cal cylinders in trailer.
Weather: Calm. Blue skies. Upslope winds (light) on the tower. It
was cold and clear last night---Ice on como creek.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove my jeep up.
* Jia did a pre-dawn this morning (i never saw her).
---------
* started to tap holes for the small profiler pump (if needed would
rather have this ready now than mid-winter).
* downloaded logger data:

* at ~11:42 MST, change the 2 micron Nupro filters at the li-6262
inlet (21.5m) and inside the li-6262 box. The flow issues started
when the pump started running backwards in August...and have slowly
been getting worse. Replacing the filters seemed to have fixed this
problem! Before change, P~=39.55, after change, P~=49.7 kPa.
* at 11:47 MST, shutdown the fan for the orst PRT sensor.
* from 12:20-12:28 MST, uploaded a new program to the snowdepth cr10x
(Noah). program is C1.DLD. reset the time to be more consistent
with the tower time (it was from 2002??).
* at AM25T mux, sn 1396 (connected to tc23x)
chan7-8-9, together on a branch of Spruce2. (moved apart on Nov 1st)
chan13 - boleT, Pine6, II15 - 3m

336: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 16-Nov-2005 13:13:20 MST, Site visit on Sunday, October 16th, 2005 (SpB)
Sunday, October 16th Visit:
---------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Finish setting up some of the soil sensors (before
the snow arrives!). Cal cylinders in trailer.
Weather: Blustery. Some periods of calm (later in the afternoon), but
also some pretty strong downslope gusts. Still fairly warm and
comfortable.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove my jeep up.
* Duane and Bear were up there.
---------
* replaced the battery charger for the UCB logger. The voltages
seemed to be a bit high (over 15V) so thought it might be a good idea
to do this.
* modified the soil logger program (old program= soilsno2.csi, new
program= soil_01.csi) in the following way:
- Two cs616 soil moisture probes added:
sensor "N1" at 5cm depth, orange wire to C7, green wire to SE#23
sensor "N2" at 15cm depth, orange wire to C8, green wire to SE#24
- Added to am25t mux:
ch14 = TC at 154cm (sunny side of tree bole, omega wire, blue)
ch15 = TC at 154cm (shady side of tree bole, campbell wire)
ch16 = TC at 20cm depth (co-located wtih snow temp probe, campbell wire)
- buried WCR_1 at approx 5cm depth. (this is right underneath one of
the snow depth sensors). it's now horizontal to the ground surface.
* Labeled the snow temperature probes:
long probe (no number, 180cm from tree). 40cm sensor is at
28cm above ground.
long probe (TP101 461, 60cm from tree). 60cm sensor is at
at 45cm above ground.
short probe (surrounded by trees). 30cm sensor is at 18cm
above ground.
* at about 15:30 MST, moved the cs616 and 107L sensors that are
connected to the ucb logger. they are at a 5cm depth. the cs616
probe is aligned horizontal to the ground. These sensors are now
closer to the soil matrix water potential sensor and the GMP343.
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

Saturday, October 15th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB, KR, NM, P, J
Purpose of visit: Set up soilT and soil moisture sensors, check on
laser, move soilT probes. Help move out some stuff with Noah, et al.
Weather: Warm and very calm. Blue skies. Still plenty of snow in the
forest (will it melt again?). the road up to C1 is not too bad.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Kirk drove his jeep up.
* Noah and Jesse were setting up the snow depth sensors. Phillip was
digging a pit for the soil moisture probes at 3 depths.
---------
* topped of the LN2 dewar (from XXcm to 36cm?). Brought up 2 10L
dewars.
* the 4 "daytime" flasks for the robots were swapped.
* from 12:15-12:40 MST, moved all the 10cm inlets for the laser up to
50cm. The 10cm inlet at the mini-tower appeared to be drawing in air
(could feel the suction). This inlet was dismantled and the paper
filter removed. It seemed to be fine so the same filter was left on
the inlet.
* at soil logger (at around 13:30 MST):
- disconnected 107L T sensor and moved it to the UCB logger.
- disconnected 2 thermocouples (ch8 and ch9).
* soil pit dug by phillip (lots of ROCKS!):
tdr probe temp sensor
5cm #1 #1
15cm #2 #2
35cm #3 #3
* moved the MRS soil temperature probe box back up to the 2nd level of
the N Canopy tower. Strung up some fishing line between several trees
to support these sensors and run the cables along the line.
* here is a summary of the cs615 sensors connected to the mux in the
soil logger box:
TDR_1 - noisy
TDR_2 - ok
TDR_3 - ok
TDR_4 - noisy
TDR_5 - ok
TDR_6 - values high
TDR_7 - noisy
TDR_8 - values high
* downloaded ucb logger data (no time problems):
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 18854 Oct 15 15:29 ucb10_15.dat*
* kirk swapped 4 flasks at east/west robots:

Friday, October 14th Visit:
---------------------------
At the site: SpB, AT, MB
Purpose of visit: Upgrade firmware on cr23x loggers, set up
soilT and soil moisture sensors, calibrate cylinders in trailer.
Weather: About 6" of snow on the ground. But warm and calm. Quite a
bit of snow melted during the day.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove my jeep up. Got a ride from Duane to the trailer.
* picked up some tree core-ers for Jia.
* Andrew and Michael Boy were up at the site. Andrew did some things
to the ozone sensor.
---------
* at 12:22 MST, topped of laser LN2, from 34.5cm to 36cm.
* at 14:13 MST, updated OS on the soil logger. Also, to change the
cr23x screen contrast do keystrokes: " *D, 11, A, 100, A, *0 "
* at 12:20 MST, sent new OS to ucb cr23x..the files needed are:
-rw-r--r-- 1 sburns 688460 Oct 10 13:26 cr23x_firmware18.exe
-rw-r--r-- 1 sburns 4751470 Oct 10 13:27 devconfig13.exe
* after updating the firmware, the values from the keypad were
UNCHANGED! (ie, using *B I get, 10916 (for version) and 0018 (for
release)).
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

333: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 10-Oct-2005 11:42:16 MDT, site visit on Saturday, October 8th (SpB, NM)
Saturday, October 8th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB, NM
Purpose of visit: Upgrade to version 3.3 of pc208w on gateway, connect
more sensors to TC logger.
Weather: Beautiful. Warm and sunny. Some clouds in the afternoon,
but mostly clear. The storm is going to hit in less than 24 hrs!
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove my jeep up. brought up full 10L LN2 dewar from campus. Also,
a backup 12V deep-cycle battery (now in the trailer).
* Noah dropped off some stuff for his setup. We also discussed some
things about the winter setup.
---------
* N2 cylinder was still at 2000 psi.
* at 12:22 MST, topped of laser LN2, from 34.5cm to 36cm.
* a few weeks ago attempted to upgrade pc208w from version 3.01 to 3.3
and did not have success, Sasha (435.750.1747) from campbell sci
e-mailed me the full pc208w ver 3.3 and this installed fine. Was able
to transfer over the logger info (so I didn't need to retype it!).
The most important file to get is the "pc208w.dnd" file (typically in
C:\PC208W\). There are some documents on the campbell webpage that
describe how to do this. This was necessary to collect the data from
the cs616 probes using P138.
* checked the versions of the firmware running on some of the cr23x
loggers (with *B),
soil logger, OS Version=1.0000, revision 0010
ucb logger, OS Version=1.0916, revision 0018
(the cs616 documentaion says that you need to have logger OS version
1.13 (cr23x))
* some details about the TC23x logger (on N Canopy Tower):
AM25T mux on ground (sn 1396), added sensors:
mux old name
channel (from AT) sensor location + misc
------- --------- --------------------
4 II.4 Pine 5, bole, 0m, (T-type tc, campbell A3537)
5 II.18 Pine 5, bole, 0.5m, (T-type tc, omega)
6 II.17 Pine 5, bole, 1.5m, (T-type tc, omega)
23 II.9 Pine 11, bole, 0m, (T-type tc, campbell A3537)
24 II.11 Pine 11, bole, 0.5m, (T-type tc, omega)
25 II.10 Pine 11, bole, 1.5m, (T-type tc, omega)
(notes from checking muxI (ie, the one in the tc logger box))
6 I.6(?) supposed to be 2m from spruce 1..it was out in
the middle of the plot (not buried). I moved it
to be 2m from spruce 1.
21 I.21 supposed to be Pine1, sapwood, 1.5m (2cm deep).
22 I.22 supposed to be Pine1, heartwood, 1.5m (6cm deep).
(both of these are disconnected and just hanging from the tower)
* on ucb logger, connected cs616 sensor:
control port 1 - orange wire
SE channel 23 - green wire
the new program is:

* also, checked the lithuim battery voltage on the soil logger (with
"*B")...it was 3.0656 V...so maybe it's ok??
332: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 10-Oct-2005 11:40:34 MDT, site visit on Thursday, October 6th (SpB)
Thursday, October 6th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Take down gas cylinders, fill laser dewar with LN2,
swap out N2 cylinder.
Weather: Cool and crisp morning. Interesting hoarfrost on the trees
before the Sun came up. Foggy and calm.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Rented a CU jeep to haul up 2 N2 cylinders and bring down 3 empty
cylinders (get numbers).
* patches of snow on the ground (and a thin film of ice on como
creek). some very cool hoarfrost on the trees (see photos).
* was going to meet Noah, Phillip, Mark L(?), and Mark W up here, but
Noah had a last-minute problem with his back.
* had a 12:15 lab meeting, so didn't have much time!
---------
* was planning to calibrate some gas cylinders, but didn't have time.
* Brought one N2 cylinder to the tower..the other is 1/2-way out to
the tower (against a tree).
* from 9:25-9:40 MST, swapped out the N2 cylinder at the tower
old=CC153310 (100 psi), new=CC97976 (2000 psi).
* at 9:40 MST, filled laser dewar with LN2, from 12.5cm to 26.5cm.
(note, dist services delivered the LN2 to MRS in the nick of time!)
331: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 10-Oct-2005 11:37:41 MDT, site visit on Tuesday, October 4th (SpB, JH, LSD, NT)
Tuesday, October 4th Visit:
---------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, LSD, NT
Purpose of visit: Set up licor in the trailer, test ati sonic, Collect
Branches.
Weather: Low cloud layer down over the plains. Some big cumulus
clouds and rain threatened for a short while. Cool, but nice.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Laura rented a jeep from CU. got a ride back down with Tim T. since
they finished earlier than they thought with the branches.
* used the outhouse for the first time (big mistake).
---------
* disconnected the Rnet sensor...last week I switched cables, but this
doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. Need to figure out what/if
there is a problem with this sensor.
* needed to get that cable to connect the ncar ATI. FINALLY, was able
slightly different wiring scheme, I needed a null modem to make it
work. I believe I used the hyperterm with 9600 baud, 8-N-1, control,
hardware(?). Here is some of the info from the ati:

Thursday, September 29th Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, NM, P, DA, RL
Purpose of visit: Meet with Noah Molotch, swap out N2 cylinder, finish
installing ground sensors before the snow comes.
Weather: Very Nice. Calm and sunny (but cool). It rained/snowed the
previous day so the ground is quite wet and damp. There was mist/steam
rising throughout the forest floor in the morning.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up a CU compact rental.
* Jia was doing some sample collections.
* met Noah (cires), Phillip (geology), and ? (cires) to discuss snow
depth sensors they want to install at the site.
* Dean Anderson came by with Ray Leuning (csiro) and ? (orst)
---------
* at 10:35 MST, swapped ozone target
* from 11:15-11:40? MST, swapped out the N2 cylinder
removed, CC153498 (~100 psi)
added, CC153310 (~400 psi). (this was leftover by Jia)
* downloaded logger data (soil logger had time problems, but only for
the last sample). the logger files are:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 179710 Sep 29 11:43 soil9_29.dat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 1557 Sep 29 12:08 soil9_29b.dat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns aster 28022 Sep 29 12:51 ucb9_29.dat*
* buried the 257-L (watermark 200) soil moisture sensor (connected to
the UCB logger).
* tried a new cable going from the 2m Rnet sensor to the UCB logger
(for some reason these data are not correct). the values seemed
reasonable when the cable was first connected.
* setup a new battery/power for the soil logger (hopefully this will
fix the time/date problems with this logger).

Tuesday, September 27th Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB, MW
Purpose of visit: Fill laser with Liquid N2. Swap out dessicant on
profile system.
Weather: Clear and cool in the morning. Some gusts of wind.
Conditions were highly variable...a quick thunderstorm passed through
around 1pm. Some lightning and thunder as I was heading from tower to
trailer. The sun was shining as I was leaving (see photos). Nice
mammatus to the east.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove my jeep up to the site. Brought 2 suitcases and a 10-liter
dewar of ln2 up to the trailer.
* Mike was arriving at about the same time and collected some soil
samples.
* Tim T was up there...winding things down for the season.
---------
* at 10:00 MST, laser dewar topped off (from 17cm to 29cm). This
used all the ln2 i brought with me from MRS.
* at 10:16 MST, zeroed the li-6251 (~0.007 mV). "BT" was flashing on
the panel?? (not sure what this means).
* from 10:16 - 10:52 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
("BT" was flashing on the front panel?? (not sure what this means))
- at 10:16 MST, did zero (value is approx -0.007 mV).
- at 10:30:00, did zero + blow test (seemed to be leaking!).
- at 10:30:0-10:50:0 MST, checked for leaks. tightended down fittings (might need
to replace the small swagelock fittings on the tubing).
- at 10:50:0 MST, ran span gas into system, constant at approx 1.206 mV. zero and
blow test, ok.
- at 10:52 MST, back to auto mode.
* tried to connect to the ncar ati---still no success using the cable
made by andrew. typical DB-9 pinouts:
pin 2, send data from PC
pin 3, recieve data from instrument
pin 8, "ready" signal

Thursday, September 22nd Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, LSD, TR, RM, MW, NT, CK
Purpose of visit: Collect tree samples.
Weather: Overcast, but not a bad day to work. It rained
the previous day.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Rented a suburban so all 8 of us went up in one vehicle (met
at settlers park).
---------
* peeled bark off of small twigs/branches for about 6 hours! (these
were then put in some kind of solution).
* at around 12:00 MST, went to download the logger data from the soil
logger. There was a problem with the power there (didn't seem to
connect properly). I moved the battery/charger from the UCB logger
and connected it to the soil logger (this was a quick fix).
* downloaded some logger data (might be time problems at the soil
logger):

I emailed with Russ. Please go ahead and replace all the transducers
and also the electronics board (for $1250). i'll be out of town until
Aug 7th but just let us know when it is ready to be picked up (email
works best)...do you need any credit card information before you get
started?

At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit:
Weather: Cool and clear. It snowed 2 nights ago.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the rental jeep.
* the Aspens are just starting to turn a bit yellow.
---------
* at 11:55 MST, topped off the laser liquid N2. (there was not much
left...brought the empty 10-liter dewar back down to MRS).
* tried to upgrade pc208w on the gateway from version 3.01 to version
3.3 (this is to install the CS-616 water content sensors).
"Found an installation of PC208W that did NOT qualify for the patch"
"The patch was NOT applied"
* at 12:30 MST, moved the orst temperature sensor from 2m up to 8m.
* brought up the refurbished AM25T s/n 1396 (used to be "mux I (A)").
This AM25T is now installed on the ground near the North Canopy tower.
It collects the data for tc51-tc75. The wiring is:

Monday, September 12th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB, SS
Purpose of visit: meet with Sean S to see the laser. get the laser on
the network (with Orrie). Get logger data and check tower instruments.
Weather: Warm and clear. There is a fairly strong downslope breeze
blowing. It's still warm out, but the breeze has an autumn feel to
it.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the rental jeep.
* the Aspens are just starting to turn a bit yellow.
---------
* Sean S was putting the final touches on the laser system.
* put laser on the network (10.0.0.3).
* at 12:25 MST, slightly raised the ORST prt temperature sensor (it's
at 2m).
* at 11:45?, moved two thermocouples near the soil temperature
"intercomparison" location. One TC is connected directly to the cr23x
(chan7), and one is from the AM25T mux (chan8). The one from the mux
was just sitting on the ground (ie, not buried).
* note, at 11:50 MST, the sun was on the snow-temp probes, but NOT on
the soil sensors!

At the site: SpB, JH
Purpose of visit: move the ncar ati sonic out of the shed. clean
up the shed.
Weather: Clear, bright and DRY. still very dry up at the site (but a
cold front is on the way). Some blustery bursts of downslope wind.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the rental jeep. A permit to cover the period from
Sept 4-11 is on the dashboard.
* moved some stuff out of the bowling shed for the laser (which
arrives next week!).
---------
* Jia was taking some transpiration/pressure bomb measurements.
* at 9:43 MST, replaced the ozone target.

--------- ---------
Outlet = 1 A 1 A
Bottom = 3.5 A
Middle = 13 A
Top = 3.2 A
* attached the ncar ati sonic to the tower, but left it "unconnected".
(This was primarily to get it out of the way and in a safe location.)
* cleaned up around the shed.

to return to EOL/semmer.
Weather: Clear, bright and DRY. very dry up there. Some blustery
bursts of downslope wind mixed with some calm periods.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the rental jeep (no flat tire this time!).
* Lots of creatures about: a weasel around the tower (under bowlings
shed), either a big coopers hawk or a goshawk(?), a bobcat (or lynx)
along the peak-to-peak, and a coyote (along sugarloaf rd).
---------
* the li-6262 pump was running BACKWARDS!! this problem started
sometime Saturday afternoon...turning it off and back on corrected
the problem.
* at 8:59 MST, zeroed li-6262,
before zero: co2 ~ 192 mV
h2o ~ 147 mV
the zero for both of these is MAXED out!
after zero: co2 ~ 130 mV
h2o ~ 120 mV
* at 9:05 MST, quick zero of li-6251.
* at 9:30 MST, swiped krypton hygrometer.
* added the prt sensor from oregon state univ...the info is:
Temp = a*mV + b, where, a=0.0199, b=0.0852
wiring:
-------
red wire = +5V DC
black = ground
white = se channel (+/- 5 V).
green = ground
* between 11:45-12:00 MST, the sun is hitting the soil T intercomparison
location!
* at 14:00 MSt, started collecting data with the orst system. added
these data to the nctc logger in place of tc_12 (nctc_01.csi). nctc
logger chan 12, purple wire (H), red (L), black (Gnd).

Thursday, August 25th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: put back up our ati sonic.
Weather: Odd weather. It was cloudy and stormy. A fairly intense
storm came through right as I was swapping out the ati's. Then it
hailed briefly later in the afternoon (around 5pm). The weather
systems were really moving rapidly.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the rental jeep. Got a flat tire on the way back to
Boulder.
---------
* ATI had reset the k-probe to the "default" settings. This caused
all kinds of problems since i had to put the settings back to the way
we like them (ASCII output). Many e-mails with Andrew/Gordon/Gary
about doing this...they each contributed and i was eventually able to
get it working again with "minicom" (i had to power cycle the ati at
the tower). Here are some of the details of these e-mails:

Thanks for the file location.
When you hook up Hyperterminal to the ATI - the ATI should be spewing wind
data (if its powered up). To get into the setup menu - hit ESC. Then just
hit the keys it tells you to. Seems like 0 always sends you either (1) up
the directory hierarchy or (2) exits the setup and goes back to sending wind
data.

Subject: RE: changes to ati sonic...
I always logged the ATI sonic in ASCI format - not binary. I used to set
the ATI to output in TERSE ASCI + I would add the "output spike status" (or
whatever ATI calls it now). So the ASCI output would look like:
Uuuu vvvv wwww TTTT S 20 20 20
(where the 20s represent the number of sonic pulses (on u,v,w) that the ATI
averaged into a single 10 Hz output)
if you can send commands to the ATI - you can hit ESC and then go into their
menu to set the output options.

Subject: RE: changes to ati sonic...
I had a cable that I used to talk to the ATI up on the tower - last I saw it
was hanging up in the back of the trailer (9-pin AMP CPC connector on one
end, DB-9 serial conn. And 2 pigtails at the other). If its still set up
the way I had it - the ATI is connected to a blue plastic box with a short
haul modem in it. Sonic goes in one side and there are two connectors on
the other - one goes down tower to short haul modem/quacker, the other is a
straight-through RS232 connection (and power). My cable was meant to go on
the straight-through connection. I think you may also have to connect the
pigtails to a +12V power supply. (I can't remember if you can use both the
short haul and the direct connection at the same time - the short haul
connection has +12V coming in).

for some reason or another this isn't working for me...i'm not sure

From: Gordon Maclean
Subject: Re: changes to ati sonic...
It looks like the parity(even/odd/none) and data bits (7/8) do not
agree between the data system and the sonic. Most likely the
data system is assuming N/8/1 and the sonic is config'd for 7/E/1.
rserial is screwing up the output a bit by adding the leading fffff's:
U\0xffffffa000.36
If you ignore the 6 leading 'f's the first character after the U is
a hex a0. If you unset the most significant bit, this becomes
a hex 20 which is a space. Most likely the sonic is setting
this bit to ensure correct parity.

can you communicate with the ati from mini-com? it's on usb6...so it

anything to "activate" the connection to the ati? like "initialize

Sean,
I'm sorry, I did not turn on the 'flag' values. We changed boards so the
non-volatile settings didn't get transferred. I thought I remembered the
settings being very close to default values, so didn't bother to record
them, but I do remember now that the status words were turned on. To turn
them on:
Hit 'ESC' to get the sonic main menu
Type 'Z' for the factory settings menu
Type 'I' to turn on the status outputs
Type '0' (zero) to get back to main
and 0 again to exit the menus

and the u/v/w values look reasonable with cockpit (esp since the

with minicom after i had power cycled the sonic...however, after i got

(Gordon, i might ask you about this sometime...)
thanks for all your help! gotta get going....i'll check the data

* at 10:15 MST, added the 107-L soil temperature probe (get the sn!!)
to the soil data logger (note, this is after the calibration at NCAR).
wiring:
black - exitation port #3
red - SE #9
purple/clear - ground.
* bunched the 3 snow profile probes, the 107-L, and one of the RTD
sensors together for a first try at a temperature "intercomparison".
* downloaded some logger data:

* the soil logger time seemed to have reverted to 8/16...but this only
impacted the final sample (ie, all the other ones seem to have a
reasonable time).
* checked the broken HFT (flux plate) sensors:
HFT_1 = -9999 site1, near cs615 sensor, severed (grey wire)
HFT_6 = -9999 site8, severed
HFT_9 = -9999 site1, in box -- chan9
* The UCb logger appears to be working ok now.

Tuesday, August 16th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: check UCb logger.
Weather: Cool and blustery. The wind had an autumn feel to it. Some
dark clouds up along the divide.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the rental jeep.
* cleaned up some of the stuff at the hydra site.
* brought an empty N2 cylinder back down to campus.
---------
* Pete was collecting litter (and installing some new litter boxes).
* at ? MST, buried the hmp343 probe a bit deeper in the soil.
* Checked the power at the UCb logger. The power strip to the battery charger
was not on!! So, the battery had been drained and we lost around 4 days of
data. Reset the power strip and then things seemed to be working ok.
* downloaded some logger data:

314: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 10-Oct-2005 10:10:24 MDT, site visit on Tuesday, August 9th (SpB)
Tuesday, August 9th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: download logger data. swap N2 cylinder and
li-6251 dessicant tube.
Weather: Calm and cool in the morning with altostratus (As) clouds. A
few sun-breaks around lunchtime. At around 3pm MDT a small
rain-shower passed over (and then it stopped).
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the rental jeep.
* Pete C was going to go up, but was feeling sick and cancelled.
* There was a big insect hatch up here...it looks like a flying
ant (see photos). They were flying around everywhere!
* on Aug 11th Kirk and Pete brought up 2 cylinders of co2 cal
gas:
CC156367: 406.4 ppm
CC86948: 404.2 ppm
---------
* between 9:13-9:26 MST, swapped the li-6251 dessicant. I left
the flow setting at just below "15"...this seems to help keep
the pressure during cals similar to during sampling.
* between 9:45-10:15 MST, swapped out the N2 cylinder. the old one
was nearly empty (probably would have gone empty within 24 hrs). Did
a leak check for around 1/2-hr...and used some snoop on it.
New N2 cylinder: CC153498, approx 1750 psi.
Old N2 Cylinder: CC17726, less than 50psi. still at the tower.
* at 11:20 MST, swiped the krypton hygrometer.
* downloaded logger data:

Purpose of visit: Collect samples for sugar extraction.
Weather: looked sunny in the photos.
---------
Misc Notes:
* the data system crashed in the morning.
---------
* at around 10am local time the data system went down. It sounds like
Kirk was checking the data at the quacker and possibly the usb
connection was accidentally disconnected?

Thursday, July 21st Visit:
--------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, KR, PC, AR
Purpose of visit: set up old tchydra logger for undercanopy radiation. swap
robot flasks. download logger data.
Weather: Hot and clear skies in the morning. It clouded up a bit
in the afternoon and distant thunder could be heard. Seemed like it
might rain, but it never happened.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the rental jeep.
* Jia had to cancel the pre-dawn since there was no regulator wrench
down in the lab??
* hauled out a new cylinder of N2 (the one at the tower has ~700 psi
left)
---------
* connected the in-canopy radiation sensors to the old hydratc
logger...this is now called "ucb". the connections are:
ch1 = up-looking par sensor (blue wire=L, green wire= H)

Tuesday, July 19th Visit:
-------------------------
At the site: SpB, KR, CXY, SO, MR, JB
Purpose of visit: swap out the problematic ATI. replace the AM25T on
the soil logger.
Weather: Very hot and dry (reached 100F in Boulder). Minimal clouds.
There were some times when the wind was blustery and downslope. And
other time it was upslope.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the rental jeep.
* Scott Ollinger (UNH), Mike Ryan, John Bradford, Jeff Hicke, and
Marie-Louise Smith were up sampling branches (with guns).
* Chuixiang came up to look around the site.
* on the way back to boulder stopped at Applied Technologies Inc in
longmont (1120 Deleware Ave) and gave the problematic ATI to Gary
Zimmerman (gary@apptech.com).
* there was a strange data system shutodown on July 15th (it seemed
to shutdown as i logged out from russter2). it was down for about
6 hours...
---------
* replaced the broken ati sonic (sn 980201) with one borrowed from
steve oncley at ncar (sn 980202). (note, this required us to modify
the connection a bit since the holes for the set screws were in
different places).
* between 11:35-11:39 MST, swiped the krypton hygrometer.
* disconnected the thermocouples at the hydra site and moved the
cr23x back to the main tower (to use at the mini-tower). The connections
are:
ch1 - am25t (which had a bad ref temp sensor)
ch2 - 6G
ch3 - 6C
ch4 - 4G
ch5 - 4C
ch6 - 5G
ch7 - 5C
ch8 - am25t mux box
ch9 - 5G (soldered tc)
ch24 (se) - gmp343
* gmp343 connections: chan24 (se) - yellow wire
ground - metal wire
12V - pink wire
ground - grey wire
* downloaded the tc logger data and replaced the broken am25t with the
one fixed by campbell (am25t, sn 1616).

Thursday, July 14th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site: SpB, KR, PC,
Purpose of visit: meet up with Utah guys. make network modifications
to russter2 (ie, be here to reboot russter2).
Weather: sunny and bright.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the rental jeep.
* University of Utah (Sean S and John) were working on the shed.
---------
* help utah take out some lumber, etc to the tower.
* at 10:15 MST, disconnected the radiation data from the UC logger and
started using the old program again (twosonic.csi). Could not get a
new program to work and still send 10-hz data to the quacker!
* disconnected the 107-L temperature probe from the soil data logger.
red- High (SE #9)
purple + clear = ground
* brought the 107-L sensor down to NCAR for proper calibration.
* moved the MRS soil temperature probes back to near the tower.
* at 2:15 MDT, rebooted russter2 since it will now be acting as a
server (so Dave Bowling can access the laser and cr5000).
307: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 10-Aug-2005 12:26:39 MDT, site visit on Tuesday, July 12th (SpB, JH, KR, AR)
Tuesday, July 12th Visit:
------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, KR, AR
Purpose of visit: check on east robot. setup radiation instruments
on the mini-tower (UC logger).
Weather: calm and hot. some smallish clouds around.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the rental jeep.
* first good look at the greenback cut-throat (at the bridge).
* got a glimpse of a weasel (i think?) at the upper edge of the meadow below
the outhouse.
* Jia and Althea were doing some needle measurements with the licor on the
tower.
---------
* wiring for the 2nd REBS Rnet sensor (sn Q96333):
pin #1 - red - High
pin #2 - black - Low
pin #3 - bare wire - Grnd
* added the following to the UC logger:
ch5 - up-looking PAR
ch6 - down-looking PAR
ch7 - REBs Rnet
* at 11:26 MST, started collecting Rnet and PAR data with the UC
logger...note: this caused the UC logger to no longer send out the
hi-rate data at 10-hz!! it seems that the UC logger is maxed out with
2 sonics and a li-7500...so for several days we are not getting these
data at 10-hz.
* from 13:06 - 13:18 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
- at 13:06 MST, did zero (value is approx 0.003 mV).
- at 13:15:00-13:15:50 MST, did zero + blow test (ok).
- at 13:15:50-13:16:50 MST, ran span gas into system, constant at approx 1.393 mV.
- at 13:17:30 MST, back to auto mode.
* downloaded logger data:

-------------------------
At the site: SpB, KR, PC
Purpose of visit: Start setting up some radiation sensors on the
mini-tower. swap robot flasks.
Weather: Sunny.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the rental jeep.
---------
* Kirk ran some test on the east robot and determined that the irga
in the east robot is the problem.
* Started setting up some of the radiation sensors at the mini-tower...the
instruments are:
REBs Q*7 Net Radiometer (sn Q96333)
C.F. Top = 9.22 Wm-2/mV
C.F. Bottom = 11.30 Wm-2/mV
2 PAR sensors:
up-looking = sn Q23139
down-looking = sn Q22793
305: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 10-Aug-2005 12:24:46 MDT, site visit on Tuesday, July 5th (SpB, KR)
Tuesday, July 5th Visit:
------------------------
At the site: SpB, KR
Purpose of visit: check on east robot. take down the pump at the
top of the tower with Tim (Herman Sievering).
Weather: It was cool and overcast in the morning (we seemed to be on
the edge of the clouds). A gust of wind passed through around 11am
and then it was clear and sunny. The clouds seemed to disappear in an
instant.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the rental jeep.
* como creek is starting to mellow out (Kirk saw a couple of cutthroat)
---------
* met Tim at 10am and took down the pump at the upper level of the tower
(it belongs to Herman Sievering).
* made some preparations for adding the extra instruments to the "UC"
mini-tower. Need to make a cable for the net radiometer and for the
fan that powers it. The instruments to add are: up-down PAR sensors,
net radiometer, soil wetness sensor, and soil moisture sensors.
(note, need to find the resistor that goes with the PAR sensors!)
* Kirk and I decided to try swapping out the soda lime at the east
robot. if this fixes the problem then we will still have a successful
measurement cylcle at the east robot this week.
* removed the AM25T mux at the hydra site (to return to campbell).
* removed the short-haul modems at the hydra site (to use with hydra
at the tower).
* downloaded soil logger data:

Thursday, June 30th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site: SpB, KR, PC
Purpose of visit: swap flasks. continue breaking down the hydra, swap
li-6251 dessicant.
Weather: It was a hot, calm, buggy day. Mosquitoes were as bad as
they get (esp around the bowling shed). Some large convective cells
further east on the plains.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the rental jeep.
---------
* Pete re-checked the tension on some of the tower cables (ie, the 450 and 900
readings from Tuesday). The results compared fairly well with 2004 data
(i think these numbers are tension in lbs):
* at ~10:00 MST, changed the span gas to the S-M cylinder from last summer.

* between 11:29:00-11:43:45 MST, swapped the li-6251 dessicant.
* between 12:00-12:35 MST, tried to figure out why the li-6251
pressure during the cals is so different than during the sampling
periods (by adjusting the needle valves which control the flow rates
of the N2 and span gas). This didn't seem to help...part of the
problem might be the small sampling pump?
* downloaded the logger data many times, ie:

soil 4/27/05, 15:48:01 6/30/05, 12:31:00 MST
(file, soil6_30c.dat has the correct time/date).
* The reason we re-downloaded the soil data at 13:05 was that we added
a new soil sensor (Campbell 107-L) to the soil data logger and buried
it right next to the rtd#5 sensor. We are also now outputting the
battery voltage for the soil data logger. The new soil logger program
is called, "soilsno2.csi".
* Kirk did the robots:

* the east robot had a problem---the range was only 9ppm and the co2
values are all very low (many near zero)...(Andy sent a long e-mail
about how to check this).
* dismantled stuff around the Hydra and moved the hydra back out to
near the CU tower. Some connections (note, took photos of all the
connections):

Tuesday, June 28th Visit:
-------------------------
At the site: SpB, KR, PC, AR
Purpose of visit: start breaking down the hydra and return some of the
borrowed equipment to ncar.
Weather: The wind was blustery at times and completely calm at times.
A slight shower/precip just after noon. Some powerful lightning
around the tower as we were trying to roll up the power cable. One
struck right across the road...it hit one of the C1 structures.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the rental jeep.
* Althea was taking some transpiration measurements.
---------
* Pete checked the tension on the tower cables. The results compared
with 2004 data (i think these numbers are tension in lbs):
inside cables outside cables
low high low high
2004: NW 600 600 680 680 (ie, corner near fence door)
2005: NW 525 500 500 525
2004: NE 640 640 680 680
2005: NE 550 600 700 900**
2004: SW 550 600 600 600
2005: SW 500 525 550 550
2004: SE 600 600 610 700
2005: SE 500 450 500 600
NOTE: in 2004 we borrowed a tensionometer from NCAR so this might
be why some values are higher relative to 2005 data. We
should re-check the NE outside cables. **The following visit we
rechecked the 900 reading for NE high and it was ok.
* finished putting the bolts on the replacement step.
* downloaded logger data (i think the soil logger has a time
problem?):

Tuesday, June 21st Visit:
-------------------------
At the site: SpB, KR, PC
Purpose of visit: check out the li-6251 returned by Detlev, fix
the broken step on trailer.
Weather: It was clear when we arrived. Big thunderheads formed rather
soon after we arrived and there was a brief period of
rain/thunder/lightning. This quickly passed and afterwards the
weather was rather mellow and warm.
---------
Misc Notes:
* met at CU and drove up the rental jeep.
* Pete and Kirk spent the day doing soil flux measurements.
* Spent some time cleaning up the trailer.
* Drilled holes for the replacement step.
* the water is still going over the spillway at Barker Res...boulder
creek is ripping along pretty good right now. Como creek is starting
to mellow out a bit.
---------
* The two recalibrated PAR sensors (LI-190SA Quantum Sensors) are:
SN Q23139 - Calibration Constant = 5.46 umol/(s m2),
Calibration Multiplier = -183.15 umol/(s m2) per microamp
SN Q22793 - Calibration Constant = 5.72 umol/(sec m2),
Calibration Multiplier = -174.83 umol/(s m2) per microamp
* at around 13:00 MST, moved thermocouples at hydra site to the common
location (under a rock and covered with soil). Also, moved the
thermocouple that was connected to the middle snowprobe back to where
the middle snowprobe was located.
* at 13:37 MST, replaced the li-6251 inlet filter at 1m and 2m on the
mini-tower.
* downloaded tchydra and mrs logger data:

Friday, June 17th Visit:
------------------------
At the site: SpB, KR
Purpose of visit: Bring back up quacker. Swap robot flasks.
Weather: Bright, sunny and warm in the morning. A fairly stiff
upslope wind was blowing at times. Clouded up a bit in the afternoon,
but never developed into storms.
---------
Misc Notes:
* took the MRS shuttle. Kirk drove up CU Jeep.
* the lock has been moved to the 2nd gate.
* found a LARGE scat just to the side of the main trail (near turnoff
for hydra/girdled plots).
* several trees had been blown over around the site (see one across the trail
near the USGS tower and one near the canopy tower as described by Jia).
* on thursday afternoon (around 14:30 MST) the data system went down.
It's not clear exactly what caused this...and i was able to restart
things from Boulder, but the data were not being passed through the
data system.
* we brought back the Al sampling stand for Eric Apel.
---------
* at 7:25 MST, stopped using the usb hub and connected the edgeport
directly to the back of the quacker. Doing this seemed to restart the
data system without any problems...note, the first file after the
restart,

* at 8:31 MST, disconnected the fan from the hydra tc cr23x box.
* at approx 9:15 MST, swiped the krypton hygrometer.
* between 9:43-11:25 MST, swapped the li-6251 dessicant and changed
the gelman inlet filters. Note, the gasket in the dessicant tube had
a problem which allowed air to leak into the system (which took a
little while to track down).
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

Tuesday, June 7th Visit:
------------------------
At the site: SpB, KR, PC, AR
Purpose of visit: Download soil data. Shutdown Hydra (still not
working). Reboot russter2. check on li-6251.
Weather: Partly cloudy most all day. A few downslope gusts, but
generally calm and nice.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Jeep.
* The aspens along the creek are leafing out now.
* lots of photos of snow-fungus.
* Pete gave Althea (REU student) a quick tour of the area around the
tower site.
---------
* at 10:15 MST, rebooted russter2, removed hydra from the data system. This
starts ops24 and ends ops23, ie:

* added back in hydra data + the undercanopy logger data.
* ops23 is the EXACT same as ops21!!
-------------------------------------------------
* at 11:05 MST, increased the flow rate on the li-6251. this causes
the p.cell to drop and the co2 output to change.
* at 11:11 MST, turned on li-6262 box fan.
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

298: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 10-Aug-2005 11:31:42 MDT, site visit on Friday, June 3rd (SpB, KR)
Friday, June 3rd Visit:
-----------------------
At the site: SpB, KR
Purpose of visit: Swap robot flasks.
Weather: Sunny in the morning. After around 1pm the boom lowered and
a nice hail/thunderstorm rolled through. Several waves of storms
passed by in the afternoon.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Jeep.
* Large hail storm---I was at the east robot and Kirk was
at the west robot when the hail was really coming down.
* first flowers of the year along como creek
---------
* switched back to previous fast logger program (FAST23X9.CSI) which
has less resolution and a larger range on the cr23x A-to-D. Note,
that security was "on" for some reason...eg, look in the SWF$.Log file
and you will see (this file might have been written over):
* Add info about how to get around security problem here!! Needed to
repower the logger and then reset the ram...
* at around 10:00 MST, switched back to using N2 as ref gas in tower
licor systems again.
* from 10:20-10:28 MST, zeroed li-6262.
* from 10:29-10:31 MST, zeroed li-6251.
* note on loggers: prof logger: all input channels are full
met logger: chans 2 & 4 are still open
* swapped east/west robot flasks, ie:

Wednesday, June 1st Visit:
--------------------------
At the site: SpB, LSD, MW, L, KR, PC
Purpose of visit: Get chan 200 running again.
Weather: Partly cloudy. Intense Sun. i don't remember much else.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up CU Jeep.
* Mike and Laura were sampling soil plots.
* Pete and Laura S-D were looking at dendrometers.
---------
* chan200 short-haul modem (to the under-canopy logger) was FRIED.

Sunday, May 29th Visit:
-----------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Check quacker data system.
Weather: Overcast and cool. It started to rain/snow when I was
leaving.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up my Jeep.
* on Saturday afternoon the data system crashed.
---------
* looks like the short-haul modem for the lower canopy tower has gone
bad (not sure which one is bad yet).
* switched all the channels to use the new edgeport (thought the
edgeport might be the problem).
* downloaded undercanopy logger data:

Thursday, May 26th Visit:
-------------------------
At the site: SpB, KR, PC
Purpose of visit: Get all the empty cylinders out of there. swap robot
flasks.
Weather: Clear blue skies. A bit cool when up on the tower.
formed into anything significant (like Thunder/Lightning).
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up a Suburban (to haul down cylinders).
* Como creek has started flowing on the west side of the bridge.
* andrew turnipseed was up at the site putting up a new ozone sensor +
2 sonics for intercomparison (ati + rm young).
---------
* from 10:00-11:30 MST, changed ref gas for the licors from N2 to co2
span gas. Note, there is a tube with soda lime and magnesium
perchlorate after the N2 regulator that makes sure the ref gas is co2
and h2o-free.
* at 10:51 MST, zeroed the li-6262, it was -0.381 mV!!
* from 10:58-11:00 MST, on li-6251,
zero ~ -0.34 mV
span ~ -0.212 mV
at 11:03:30 MST, back to auto mode.
* Andrew figured out why the change in the ref gas affected the co2 outputs
so dramatically:

Subject: negative CO2 voltage
Sean
I realized after you left why you're getting negative CO2 voltages
when you do the differential measurement. Should have thought of it
sooner. The pressure is different in the two cells - the reference
cell is at ambient, the sample cell is much lower (what the Licor
measures, p.ec). So there's less CO2 to absorb up the light - even
though mixing ratio is the same. When you zero using N2 - the
pressure difference doesn't matter because there is no CO2 to absorb
light in either cell.
Anyway - you probably have to account for the pressure differences
in the two cells using the differential method. Also, probably was a
mistake to use the zero potentiometer on the Licor the "zero out" the
signal with the CO2 reference gas.

To: "'Sean Burns'"
From: "andrew turnipseed"
Subject: RE: negative CO2 voltage
Main difference is:
(1) Reference cell is close to ambient - you have high pressure (20 Psi)
at tank - then drops through needle valve and then exits to ambient
pressure. So reference cell has to be at least ambient pressure.
(2) Sample cell is from same tank through a needle valve - but it is
being pumped on - rather fast actually - because you need the fast flow.
We always set the needle valve on the calibration line so that the Licor
pressure when calibrating was about the same as when you are sampling
ambient air (which is subambient - ~ 50 kPa). That's because the span
(or gain) is pressure dependent - so you want to calibrate at the same
pressure you're taking measurements.
You can't really sample at higher pressure (closer to ambient) without
re-designing your inlet line (bigger diameter line) or pumping system
(bigger pump).

Friday, May 13th Visit:
-----------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, LSD, JM, PC
Purpose of visit: Swap robot flasks, add 5025ppm span gas to Hydra.
Weather: Cool in the morning (snow was fairly hard-packed). Warm and
sunny (with some breezes) during the day. Snow turned soft and mushy
by the afternoon. Partly-cloudy with downslope winds. Clouds between
mountains and Boulder.
---------
Misc Notes:
* picked up a rental Jeep from CU motorpool.
* Como creek is really starting to flow now.
---------
* at Hydra site: it looks like B3 and B8 were plugged up (will this ever stop!).
in the afternoon (14:30 MST?) I connected the 5025ppm cylinder to the hydra (used C4).
* Some notes on identifying trees at the site (as described to me by Laura S-D):
- lodgepole vs limber pine. lodgepole dominates at the site...has 2 needles
per bundle while the limber has 5 needles (i think?) per bundle.
- Fir: flat needles, no line on needle, no bumpy knobs on old twigs, when the
needles are pulled away they leave an indentation on twig, resin-ducts,
bark is light grey. cones?
- Spruce: diamond-shaped needles with a white line on them, the old twigs have
small bumps on them.
* from 11:30 - 11:45 MST, swapped out the dessicant on the profiler (li-6251).
- pre-swap zero co2 ~= 0.007 mV
- at 11:42:30 MST, did zero + blow test (ok).
- at 11:43:00 MST, ran span gas into system, constant at approx 1.198 mV.

Friday, May 6th Visit:
----------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Swap robot flasks, download logger data.
Weather: Variable. Calm and overcast in the morning. Heard some
thunder off to the east and a brief squall passed over (some snow
mixed with rain). The sun was out as I left around 4:30.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up my jeep.
* The road up to the trailer was still snow covered, but it was very
wet and slushy. Heard Como creek gurgling for the first time this
year.
* A hummingbird buzzed the tower and lots of dark-eyed juncos were
singing.
---------
* swapped east/west robot flasks (both lower inlets were under the
snow).

Monday, May 2nd Visit:
----------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Check on the situation with the li-6262.
Weather: Calm and partly-cloudy when i arrived. Of course, by the
time I needed to go up the tower it started snowing!
---------
Misc Notes:
* Went to ncar in the morning and then drove my own jeep up from there
(not very well prepared...jeans and merrells!). Couldn't make it up
the last stretch of road to MRS...it was too slushy! Mark was
clearing out the roads.
* the li-6262 co2 signal started acting odd at around 8:30am on
Saturday. it was intermittently acting up through Sunday-Monday
morning. Flow rates and h2o looked ok, but co2 was strange.
* It probably snowed around 6-7 inches since last friday...the snow
has become somewhat heavy and wet.
---------
* from 14:00-14:45 MST, changed the two 2-micron Nupro filters for the
li-6262 inlet lines (one in the box, one at 21.5m). Turned OFF the
fan in the box.
* at 14:45 MST, h2o, 18mV ---> 0
co2, ~18mV ---> 0
blow test, ok.
* at 15:12 MST, at east robot, done=1, co2_range=276 (since the lowest inlet
was buried under snow).
flasks: 1=311ppm, 2=308ppm, 3=565ppm, 4=311ppm, 5=576ppm, 6=314ppm, etc.
* was going to download some logger data, but with the snow falling i
decided to do this later in the week.
* my question and some ideas from Andrew about the li-6262:

Hi Andrew,
the li6262 on the tower has started acting strangly...i put a plot of
the data from Saturday/Sunday on the web at:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/plots/li6262_problem.pdf
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/plots/li6262_problem.ps
The voltage output of the co2 signal has been just over 1000mV for
quite a while, but on Saturday morning (just after the 8am
calibration) all of a sudden the co2 went up drastically. since that
time it looks like it has been going up and down and is all over the
place...the thing that has me puzzled is that the h2o signal (panel 4)
looks fine so i'm guessing this is not a problem with air going
through the sample cell...also flow and pressures don't show anything
strange happening either. The range of the measurement in the cr23x
is set to +/- 5000 mV so I don't think it's a clipping issue...i guess
one other possibility is that the data system (quacker) is somehow
messing up the co2 data (but I kind of doubt this).
Anyway, I plan to go up to the tower this afternoon and check into
this...I will probably change the nupro filters in the lines...i
haven't changed the tubing to the 21.5m inlet since you changed it in
2003...could old tubing cause the co2 signal to go crazy? I'm
guessing that maybe some particle or something got into the sample
cell and is causing the signal to start acting strange?
any ideas on this??

Subject: RE: one more question...
Sean
Can't say I know exactly what's going on with the LI6262, but I would
suspect condensation somewhere. See if its worse when the humidity's
high. May not even be in the plumbing, but in the electronics of the
6262. Changing the filters is a good idea - I doubt changing the
entire inlet tubing would affect anything. But you may think about
changing the copper tubing - you can buy 1/4" copper tubing at
McGuckins - you just have to coil it up pretty tightly around a piece
of PVC tubing. I would also turn the fan off - the Licors work better
when they're around 30-40 deg. C. You probably only need the fan in
July-August.
We probably don't have any spare big blue valves. They are from
Entegris - called Galtek valves. You can find them at
http://www.entegrisfluidhandling.com/Default.asp?Page=Select&Family=1&OF=1528&ln=en#1528
under the Solenoid Valves folder. They do go bad once in a while,
although I would think that you would see some funny things happening
with the pressure and flow if the valves were failing. Also, if
calibration gas was leaking through the blue 3-way valve - I think
zero gas is behind that, so you would see a decrease in the signal,
not an increase.
One other possibility - I think there is a small MgClO4/soda lime trap
inside the Li6262 detector housing that probably hasn't been changed
in a long time. The manual should have instructions for how to change
this - uses a small plastic bottle - there should be an extra one
around somewhere in the trailer.
Only other suggestion - look at the zero's and spans over the same
time. Are they shifting as well. It almost looks like its undergoing
a big zero shift (to the higher voltages). Also look at these
manually out at the tower.
If changing all the little things doesn't help - may need to talk to
Licor. Those things do need to be sent back every once in a while for
servicing.

Friday, April 29th Visit:
-------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, KR
Purpose of visit: Upload new version of program to robot loggers.
Give Jacques some cal gas to use with the li-6251 they borrowed.
Weather: Calm in the morning. Some sun breaks later in the day, but
mostly overcast. Lots (around 2 feet) of fresh new snow (still fluffy
and nice).
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up a Jeep from the CU motorpool. Picked up Jacques Hueber at
instaar and met Kirk at CU (i was 1/2-hr late!).
* a long hard slog up the power line.
* needed to dig a lot of snow off the hydra "shack".
---------
* at hydra B7 and B9 seem plugged. other inlets appear to be ok.
* gave Jacques some of the 5025 ppm co2 gas and some of the 1000 and
750ppm gas (i think?).
* kirk and i did a snow pit.
* the new logger program for the robots is: AUTO24NW.CSI we created
AUTO24E.CSI and AUTO24W.CSI to use at the east and west robots (these
are copies of "AUTO24NW.CSI"). There was one small error when
compiling the program (i think this is because we are using an older
version of pc208w):
the error was line 328 which was:
24: Status Monitor (P130)
1: 10 OS Version, OS Revision, & OS Signature (3 locs)
2: 143 Loc [ OS_ver ]
the only options for P130 were 1-8 so it was not possible to use "10"
for this...not knowing exactly what to use, we replaced the above
command with:
24: Status Monitor (P130)
1: 8 Internal Panel Temperature
2: 143 Loc [ OS_ver ]
* more info from Andy about the AUTO24NW.CSI program:

Subject: Re: AUTO24NW.CSI
I should have told you the way the program works. On the first day of
sampling flasks 1 and 2 are filled from the top inlet half way between
solar noon and sunset. Night sampling starts 1 hour after sunset (flasks
3-13) using the bottom and middle inlets. If, during the night sampling,
flasks 3-13 have a CO2 range equal to or greater than the one we
specified for that time of year, it was a successful collection. If the
range was not met, the system starts over the next day at midafternoon
with flasks 1 and 2. We give the robot 4 nights to meet the range we
specified. Regardless the range, on the fifth day, the day after the
final attempt, flasks 14 and 15 are filled from the top inlet at
midafternoon. So, when you show up on your work day, you will have
flasks 1 and 2 filled the midafternoon before the successful or final
attempt, flasks 3-13 with the successful or final attempt, and then
flasks 14 and 15 filled the midafternoon the day before you work. Sorry
for the details, the take home message is, if you show up before your
work day (as defined by the fudge day) the robot will be on position 14.
* checked the snow depths (see photos):
closest to tree = completely buried
middle probe = not quite buried
outside probe = almost buried

Thursday, April 21st Visit:
---------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, MW, KR
Purpose of visit: Check robots, change profiler dessicant, help dig
to get soil samples.
Weather: Blustery day. Occasional snow spitting off the divide.
Still fairly warm and comfortable. The snow continues to melt.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up a prius from CU motorpool.
* snow around the tree boles is continuing to melt.
* Jia was collecting snow samples east and west of the tower; Mike
was collecting soil samples from the hydra inlet locations.
* Kirk Rannos first day of work at the site!
---------
* at 11:27 MST, zeroed li6262.
h2o was at 5mV --> 0
co2 was at 14mV --> 0
ran span gas ~ 1082 mV.
* from 11:30-11:40 MST, changed dessicant tube for the profiler.
zero before ~ 0.002 mV
zero after ~ 0.004 mV
* turned on the fans in both the li6262 and li6251 boxes...this was a
big MISTAKE!!!...(i think) this caused problems toward the end of
April when we had some cold/wet weather. With cold and wet air
entering the system it might have caused condensation somewhere in the
lines and/or inside the li6262....(note: on May 2 the fans were turned
off).
* swapped flasks at the east and west robots. (no logger files since the
robots both had done=1 from 4/14).
* checked the snow depths:
closest to tree = completely buried
middle probe = 82 cm
outside probe = 93 cm

Subject: Re: Spring 2005 Niwot Ridge snow photochemistry
Thanks Sean,
I'll type up my rest notes and fill in the table this week.
Also...
Barry wanted me to try one more thing with the CO2 tests on
Sat., so I ended up doing two quick tests at C1, starting
at 10:00 and ending at 11:30 (with the second test at 11).
I left everything up there like I found it, but when I left
around 12, the Licor had a high CO2 reading (about 1200).
I hope I didn't do anything to mess up your Hydra
readings...I connected everything back up while the pump
was running, like we had done before. I also had plugged
in my permeameter at 10:30, so maybe that made the Licor
act up?
Both tests I used the low flow (set at 10) on the surface
snow, the first I sampled for 20s pulses at different times
(Barry's idea) and the second I sampled continuously for
the whole test. I also measured permeability and took
crystal photos yesterday, so I that stuff done. I didn't
have time to measure density, but maybe you could help me
get some of the density data from the pits that were dug
nearby?
Also, Friday night Barry and I broke the door handle to the
trailer at C1. I think there was a pin that either fell
out into the snow that we couldn't find, or the pin broke.
I think the pin breaking was why the door was hard to open
earlier in the week. Anyway, I'm really sorry about that,
and the last minute CO2 tests Sat. As a peace offering, I
left the 12V motorcycle/snowmobile battery I had bought in
the trailer. I had to haul all my equipment down to MRS
yesterday, and didn't feel like carrying it, and I thought
that maybe you could use it.
Thanks, let me know if there is anything I can do to help
out,
Zoe

Wednesday, March 16th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB, ZC
Purpose of visit: Run diffusion tests with Zoe.
Weather: It was sunny and windy. Not too cold. There was some fresh
snow that settled in the forest, but not a lot of new snow (primarily
it was snow that had been blown around).
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up my own jeep.
* gave 2 french students in ACD (Thomas/Ben) a ride back down to the
Mesa Lab.
---------
* plugged hydra lines: A2, B5, B8, A9, B9.
* mucked around a bit in the trailer trying to find the correct
fittings/tubing to connect to the diffusion chamber.
* For the snow diffusion tests I stopped the licor from doing the
calibration periods. The following data files indicate when i

Monday, March 14th Visit:
-------------------------
At the site: SpB, DL, JH
Purpose of visit: Help out with the snow study (led by Barry Lefer).
Weather: It snowed a few feet on Saturday night-Sunday. It was also
very cold Sunday night. Calm, cold and snowing on and off on Monday.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the CU rental jeep.
* Gave Detlev and Jacques a ride up to MRS. Met everyone at MRS for
the niwot snow experiment (primarily led by Barry).
---------
* skiied up to the "soddie" site. Helped a bit with dragging a box
from cable gate (where the Thiokol stops) up to the O'Reilly Lab.
* talked with Zoe about doing the porosity and diffusion measurements
near the hydra site. it looks like we will have all the connectors,
etc we need.
* at 15:30 MST, injected co2 into the snowpack at the profile site
(didn't have the flow meter, so not sure how much went in).
* The three main components to the Niwot "snow" experiment:
- Soil emmission effects on snow chemistry
- Solar profile in the snowpack (diffuse and/or direct solar).
- co2 "flux" experiment
* Some detail from the sampling at soddie: polyethylene fiber disks
are the filters used, 12'x12' tedlar film to cover the soil (2-3 mil
thick. Sampling is at ~2 liter/min.
276: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Thu 05-May-2005 16:26:05 MDT, site visit on Friday, March 11th (SpB)
Friday, March 11th Visit:
-------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Download some data. Investigate flow problems with
hydra.
Weather: A Windy, Chinooky day.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the CU rental jeep.
* Duane carried up 2 N2 cylinders and a co2 cylinder for me (as
well as a flask suitcase).
---------
* Discovered new inlets which appear to be plugged on Hydra! The
new "problem" inlets are:
A2 - 2G
B4 - 4C
B8 - Profile/Mid-lev2?
B9 - Profile/South
* at 14:45 MST, moved A6 (6G) to B5. I did this because it looks
like A6 has leaks (based on the dry ice testing).
* at 15:45 MST, injected co2 into the snowpack.
* checked the snow depths:
closest to tree = completely buried
middle probe = 75 cm
outside probe = 82 cm
* East Robot: done=0, attempt=3, co2_range=22.5, min=45
at 14:45 MST, the pump was running
min_co2= 296.4, max_co2= 318.9.
* downloaded logger data at the N Canopy tower:

Wednesday, March 9th Visit:
---------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH
Purpose of visit: Do a final test with hydra inlet lines.
Weather: There seemed to be a weak chinook blowing. a bit
breezy (downslope), but it was warm.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up my jeep.
* Jia was downloading sapflow logger data.
---------
* Between 10:30-11:00 MST I disconnected the "problem" lines
from the hydra and replaced them with short tubing lengths. The
ones I replaced are:
A1 - 4G
A4 - 5C (note: A4 has a leak in the system somewhere.)
B2 - 3G
B5 - 5G
* between 11-11:10 MST, checked the flow rates for the cal gas
cylinders (jia controlled the system from the trailer).
* part of the reason to come up mid-week was to close the licor
box which I left open last time i was here (it was fine).
* checked the snow depths:
closest to tree = completely buried
middle probe = 78 cm
outside probe = 84 cm
* at the hydra profile site all the depths are ~ 80cm (the far probe is
closer to 75cm than 80cm)
* jia checked the east robot. it had values around 300 and was on
attempt=2 (done=0, i think?).
274: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 21-Mar-2005 16:51:23 MST, site visit on Thursday, March 3rd (SpB, JH)
Thursday, March 3rd Visit:
--------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH
Purpose of visit: Check robots. Give Detlev/Jacques some span gas.
Weather: Sunny, fairly calm, warm. It clouded up a bit around
mid-day, but then cleared up again in the late afternoon. Not much
new snow.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the CU rental jeep.
* Gave Jacques Hueber (instaar) a ride up to the site.
* Returned the trimble GPS to Todd Ackerman in the morning.
* Brought both robot regulators back to campus (need to ship to Utah).
---------
* Jacques filled bags of span gas to take up to the soddie site.
* at 12:25 MST, switched the follow hydra inlets:
moved 4G from A4 to A1
moved 5C from A1 to A4
(note: A4 has a leak in the system somewhere.)
* it looks like maybe both 4G and 5C are plugged since this switch
didn't seem to change things too much!?!
* three inlets still appear to be plugged:
A1 = 4G / 5C
B2 = 3G
B5 = 5G
A4 = 5C / 4G (the line might be plugged, but there is a leak
so maybe air is being pulled in from elsewhere?)
* tried to use a wire to find any obstruction in the 4G tubing.
* tried sucking/blowing air down the 4G/3G/5G tubing.
* the 748ppm regulator was barely set high enough to create flow
(found this out when we were filling the bags). Need to be out there
during a calibration period to check on this (or have someone in the
trailer force it to do a cal).
* hydra cylinders:
748 ppm = 1200 psi
1040 ppm = 1600 psi
* The rabbits devastated the wires around the hydra site. There were
rabbit tracks and pellets all over the place. I patched up the snow
temperature probes (with electrical tape, aluminum foil, and some of
the foam insulation tubes) and checked that they were still
functioning ok.
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = completely buried
middle probe = 76 cm
outside probe = 80 cm
* at east robot, done=0, attempt=1, valve setting=16
at west robot, done=2, attempt=21, co2_range=3.85, valve setting=6
273: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 21-Mar-2005 16:45:25 MST, site visit on Saturday, February 26th (SpB)
Saturday, February 26th Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Check on lowest inlet on the profiler.
Weather: Sunny and fairly calm. A short storm came through
as I was leaving.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up my jeep.
* after checking on the profiler skied north of C1 up to the
MRS "bowl" ski area.
---------
* I thought perhaps the profiler pump was "dead" which is why I made a
special trip up here. Turns out the lowest inlet was completly
plugged up with ice (see photos from this day).
* dug out the bottom inlet---when i went to unscrew the nalgene bottle
around the inlet filter it shattered in my hands. as a quick fix, i
borrowed deans inlet filter (his system is off). i'll bring up some
new filters (and a cover) to replace this next time i'm up here.
* i was surprised how much ice was in the filter and the dekabon
tubing too. there must be condensation where the undersnow (warm) air
goes up above the snow surface to where it relatively cold. then the
condensation water drips back down and forms an ice plug??...
* as a result of this trip I bought a replacement KNF pump for the profiler
system...the model we have in the trailer is different than what is actually
running at the tower. Details:
pump at tower: UN828 KNI, sn 1/607051, 115V/60hz, manufctured on 02/2002
spare in trailer: UN815 KNI, sn 1/615575. 115V/60hz, manufctured on 04/2002
(the UN828 KNI has a larger flow capacity and the electrical connection is
a bit different, expected delivery date: 4/11/05, order# 97171).
272: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 21-Mar-2005 16:29:13 MST, site visit on Friday, February 25th (SpB, AT)
Friday, February 25th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB, AT
Purpose of visit: Download logger data. Replace turnbuckle on the
REBs sensor. Check robots.
Weather: Sunny and fairly calm. There was a hard crust of snow on the
power line trail. When there wasn't a crust, the snow had some
surface hoar on it.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the CU rental (traded the jeep in for a taurus).
* Looks like Mike was up here yesterday (on skiis?) doing some soil
sampling (non-hydra locations).
* Dan injured his knee so I'm doing the snowpit today.
---------
* Brought the two old PAR sensors back to the trailer. These
(LI-190SA Quantum Sensors) are:
up-looking: sn 23139
down-looking: sn 22793
* at 11:30 MST, re-attached the wire which was supporting the REBS
sensor.
* at profiler logger...note:
flag1 = zero gas
flag2 = span gas
* from 12:24-12:26 MST, zeroed li-6262.
before zero: co2 at ~ 12 mV
h2o at ~ 20 mV
* at 12:30 MST, started to change dessicant on profiler:
at 12:42 MST, zeroed li-6251, ~0.001 mV, blowtest, ok.
at 12:43 MST, ran span gas through li-6251.
at 12:44 MST, back to auto-mode.
* need to check why co2.prof is not seeing large (undersnow) co2
values!
* at Hydra, A1/B2/B5 flow rates are all LOW (adjustment doesn't
help).
* west robot, done=2, attempt=17, co2_range=14.8, valve value=4.
east robot, done=1, attempt=10, co2_range=36.3, min value=30.
* checked the snow depths:
closest to tree = completely buried
middle probe = 80 cm
outside probe = 87 cm
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

271: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 21-Mar-2005 16:02:52 MST, site visit on Friday, February 17th (SpB)
Thursday, February 17th Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Swap out the two LI-190SA PAR sensors. Check on
some hydra inlets with strange looking data.
Weather: Calm. It was cold last night, but is bright and sunny today.
The past Sunday & Monday were very windy. There does not appear to be
much new snow, but the 1-2 inches of surface snow looks like it's been
blown around a lot (ie, pulverized). It is a very fine, dense powder.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the CU rental Jeep.
* Before going up to the site I returned the cylinder to airgas. This
is a cylinder that ATD had accidentally taken down to the foothills
lab at the end of CME (cylinder number: CC119236, a cylinder Andrew
and I filled with air from Tony D. in Fall 2003).
* Ran into Matt/Dan coming back from digging a snow pit. Picked up
two more snowpit forms from them (HP is going to send me a copy of the
other ones):
050210: C1 Hydra, MM/DG
050217: C1 Hydra, MM/DG
* On Feb 14th the power at the tower was going on/off due to high
winds affecting the power at MRS.
---------
* The two new PAR sensors (LI-190SA Quantum Sensors) are:
SN Q34619 - Calibration Constant = 5.62 umol/(s m2),
Calibration Multiplier = -177.94 umol/(s m2) per microamp
SN Q34620 - Calibration Constant = 5.75 umol/(sec m2),
Calibration Multiplier = -173.91 umol/(s m2) per microamp
* at 14:00 MST, re-arranged the KZ PSP sensor (pushed it further out and
attempted to level it better).
* between 14:30-15:00 MST, replaced the two old li-190sa sensors
(uplooking= sn23139), downlooking= sn22793) with the 2 new sensors
(uplooking= sn34620, downlooking sn34619).
* note: i should probably change the domes on the REBS sensor
soon (also need a turnbuckle for the REBS sensor).
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = completely buried
middle probe = 80 cm (probe is leaning)
outside probe = 86 cm (probe is leaning)
* Info about the recalibration of the Krypton Hyg (from last July!):
kh2o SN 1249
* between 16:30-17:00 MST, switched the follow hydra inlets:
moved 1C from A1 to A5
moved 5C from A5 to A1
(also check the fitting on A4.)
* downloaded robot data:

Friday, February 11th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Replace connector on KZ PSP sensor. Download logger
data.
Weather: Calm. Slight upslope wind. Not much new snow, but looks
like some blown snow had settled in the forest. Was post-holing on
the way to the tower.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the CU rental Jeep.
* The snow-cat was broken down up at cable gate.
* talked to Kurt Chowanski about the snow-pit forms...the ones I have
so far are:
050113: C1 Hydra, Nichols, Levine, Williams, Gallen, Mcgough
050127: C1 Hydra, MM/DC
050201: Saddle Grid, MM/KC
050203: C1 Hydra, SpB
* on Monday (feb 7) called Bob at Dist services to send back 2 cylinders
to scott-marrin: (CC28046 and CC66802).
---------
* at around 10:45 MST, removed poz2, poz3 from the data system (this
starts ops21). The files at the time of the restart are:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root aster 33749496 Feb 12 01:00 nwt050212.000000
* modified the logger program on the "fast" 23x logger, ie,
"fast23x9.csi" so these 2 parameters are no longer being output by the
data logger.
* started using the 1040ppm cal gas cylinder at the hydra (it finally
held up to a leak check...since I switched regulators). The
questionable regulator is attached to the 400ppm cylinder...need to
snoop this to try and figure out where/why that regulator leaks...
* Inlets at HYDRA which should be checked:
A1 - always high
A4 - seems like it is getting ambient air in the system
A5 - strange looking (not a flat value when sampled)
A9 - " "
B2 - " "
B5 - " "
* re-made the connector for the NCAR KZ PSP sensor (removed the square
connector which was the source of the problem and now am only using a
single 4-pin amp connector). details of the wiring:
at cr23x logger: 1H - red wire
1L - green wire
grnd - white and black wires
Square Connector
Amp Connector (now gone) KZ PSP Wires
------------- ---------------- -------------
pins: 1 - Red --> Blue Wire Red Wire
2 - Green --> Red Wire Blue Wire
3 - White --> White Wire White Wire
4 - Black --> Yellow Wire Gnd Shield
* at 16:15 MST, reconnected the KZ PSP with the new connector.
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

267: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 21-Mar-2005 15:08:56 MST, site visit on Thursday, February 3rd (SpB)
Thursday, February 3rd Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Check Hydra and robots.
Weather: Warm and Calm. Lots of new snow (around 0.5m). There was a
slight upslope wind most of the time.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up the CU Jeep.
* Matt/Dan didn't make it up to do the snowpit today (I did it).
* Duane was up doing cylinders.
* brought the scott-marrin cylinder which was being used at the tower
down to campus (this cylinder was swapped out in January). Need to
ship both of these back to scott-marrin.
---------
* at 10:55 MST, rebooted russter2 (system upgrade, Enterprise WS
release 3).
* cleared the new snow off the roof of the hydra shack.
* at hydra. the regulator on the 1000ppm cylinder keeps on losing gas
during the leak checks. So i did some switching around of the
regulators up there. The new order is as follows:
C1 --> 1000 ppm cylinder -- at 1700 psi
C2 --> OFF, used for the pump (i put tape of this, should cap it!)
C3 --> 748 ppm cylinder at ~ 1200 psi.
C4 --> 400 ppm cylinder (was connected to C2), at ~ 500 psi.
* also note at hydra, A5, B5, and B2 flow rates won't seem to stay
stable...not sure what the problem here is (water in the lines?).
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = completely buried
middle probe = 87 cm (probe is leaning a small bit due to snow)
outside probe = 92 cm (probe is leaning a small bit due to snow)
* downloaded the cnr logger data:

266: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 21-Mar-2005 15:06:44 MST, site visit on Tuesday, January 25th (SpB)
Tuesday, January 25th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB, AT
Purpose of visit: Work on KZ PSP sensor. check west robot.
Weather: Warm and Calm. There was a slight upslope wind most of the
time.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove my own Jeep up (cancelled the Jeep reservation for Friday).
---------
* Andrew Turnipseed was getting the fast ozone sensor working again
(it was running again sometime before around 11am).
* at 12:05 MST, switched the hydra power to a power strip (previously
it was attached directly to the transformer). (i restarted the data
system to get it the opto22 running again).
* at hydra I had to lower the flow rates on B2 and A5. These were the
two that were low last time i was up so i had increased the flow rates
for them. This indicates something strange (maybe water in the
lines?) is going on with these 2 inlets.
* tried another leak check on the 1000ppm cylinder (the tank pressure
was around 1200 psi...down from 1850 psi when i left last week). this
time i used emery cloth to smooth up the regulator fitting...and also
brought the big wrench over to the hydra site.
* wiring for the KZ PSP sensor:
at cr23x logger: 1H - red wire
1L - green wire
grnd - white and black wires
pins: 1 - Red --> Blue Wire
2 - Green --> Red Wire
3 - White --> White Wire
4 - Black --> Yellow Wire
* the right-column above are the wire colors on the small connecter
from the instrument to the AMP connector. This has a square 4-pin
connector (which seems to be the problem with the signal). I need to
double-check the wires going into the cr23x since it seems there is
still a problem with the data output.
* swiped the Krypton hydrometer (around 15:30 MST).
* Snow depth at the snow temperature probes:
closest to tree = 45 (snow well down to about 40cm)
middle probe = 51 (snow well down to about 45cm)
outside probe = 55 (snow well down to about 50cm)
* at west robot, investigated the pump problem there. discovered that
the control panel switch (right side of robot box) had the pump
switched to the "off" position. Moved this to "active" and then the
pump started working again.
* uploaded new logger program to both east/west robots (based on AUTO23_F.CSI).
west has, aut23fw.csi and east robot has aut23fe.csi.

Thursday, January 20th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Download logger data, swap out span gas cylinder.
Weather: Warm and Calm. A pretty amazing day for January!! There
were a few gusts at the top of the tower. The snow was wet and
heavy..it seemed like spring-time conditions up there (could have worn
shorts).
---------
Misc Notes:
* Picked up the CU rental jeep.
* Ran into Matt/Dan at the site---they couldn't do the snowpit since
the pit kit was not in the shed (they did get snow for the chemistry).
* Duane brought up 2 cylinders of zero-air in the snow-cat (these are
now in the trailer).
* saw 2 moose on my way from MRS down to the peak-to-peak (~5:30 pm)!!
---------
* at ~11:50 MST, removed old S-M cylinder and replaced it with:
CC187532, 401.0 ppm at 1810 psi.
S-M cylinder is still out at the tower...can bring back whenever.
* at hydra: B2 and A5 had low flow rates (~10 on the flowmeter, should
be ~30) so I increased the flow rates for these inlets.
* downloaded logger data (for time changes see below):

Thursday, January 13th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB, MW, +
Purpose of visit: Download logger data, work on snow pits.
Weather: Blustery day. Rather cold, but sunny in the morning.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Picked up the CU rental jeep.
* Met with Mark Williams and Loslebon for the snow pit training of
snow pit team.
---------
* met with Mark Williams, Matt/Dan (hydra pits) & Evan/Andy (C1 pits)
to do a sample snow pit.
* at 12:32 MST, rebooted russter2 for a upgrade (required 2 reboots).
* last time i should have connected the hydra pump to the c2 line (13)
when i should have used c1 (12)!!!
* closed the valve for cal2 at the hydra (the main pump is now using
this relay to bring air from the inlets to the hydra).
* downloaded logger data from the robots:

(prf1_13.dat did not finish entirely...but it was late and cold
so I didn't get all these data).
* could not read the panel at the west robot (maybe because it was so
cold?). Used the following keystrokes to make the robots run with no
span gas:
*0, *4, A, then hit A 10 more times ( so that is A a total of 11 times),
then you should see on the first row 10:, and on the second row you
should see 0, press 1, A, *0.

Thursday, January 6th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH
Purpose of visit: Change N2 Cylinder, Download logger data, check hydra.
Weather: Blustery day. Spitting some snow off the divide.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Picked up the CU rental jeep.
---------
* at 12:41 MST, switched N2 cylinder at the tower (ref gas).
has 1800 psi. did a leak check. all looks good.
* at around 16:00 MST, restarted the hydra pump. it appears that the
circuit which the pump is on has not been working properly. i swapped
around the relays and the same relay works ok in other postions, so
the relay is not the problem. I attached the power for the pump to
the "C2" circuit (ie, position 13) and the pump started working. (in
hindsight this was a MISTAKE..since C2 was also running a cal gas...i
didn't follow the lines properly and therefore wasted several 100 psi
of gas before i figured out what was going on...see entry on 1/11!!).

Monday, December 20th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB, JM
Purpose of visit: Download logger data, swap flasks, check hydra.
Weather: Blustery day, but not super-cold. It looks like only a
dusting of snow since last visit (Dec 10). The snow has settled and
sublimated. Lots of bare spots down around MRS.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Picked up the CU rental jeep. met Jess at CU.
---------
* Dragged a new span gas (co2) cylinder out to the tower:
CC187532 - 401.0 ppm
* at hydra: 748ppm cylinder is at 1380 psi
400 ppm cylinder is at 650 psi.
1000ppm cylinder is at 1800 psi (not being used).
* the pump which draws the air from the inlets was not coming on at
the hydra. it operates ok when directly connected to the orange cube
(ie the 2nd line out of the transformer). this appears to be some
issue with the power at the hydra. i tried switching relays and it
worked one time (at 15:00 MST), but the next pump cycle (at 15:30 MST)
it didn't come on. (Ordered a new pump from GAST which draws less
current than the one we are currently using).
* Jess swapped flasks at the east/west robots. Span cylinders at both
robots were at zero. Downloaded robot logger files. These are:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 99676 Dec 20 13:57 041220e.dat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 113780 Dec 20 12:33 041220w.dat*
* connected a new span gas cylinder to the east robot (left it in
"leak-check" mode).
The cylinder is: SG9151924BAL: 401.8 ppm at 1500 psi.
* let Florence Bocquet / Detlev borrow the 2nd LI-6251 (SN IRG-308).
* checked Deans cylinders at the li-7000 shack. They were both shut
off....he meant that I could check the ones near his tower (whoops).

-----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Do robots, change profiler dessicant.
Weather: Blustery day, but not super-cold (ok to work with no gloves).
It's been very windy the past few days. The snow looks like
wind-blown stuff off the divide (very fine and dense).
---------
Misc Notes:
* Picked up the CU rental jeep.
* met HP at the tower. . .he borrowed a few tower struts.
---------
* cleaned snow off the hydra and took photos of inlets.
* from 13:40-14:10 MST, changed profiler dessicant. note: there was a
problem since the batting material in the dessicant tube was over the
gasket.
* swapped east/west robots. downloaded logger data:

At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Do robots, change profiler dessicant.
Weather: No new snow since Tuesday. Blustery and warm (for December).
looks like it has been windy since Tuesday. some spots are blown out
and crusty.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove my jeep up.
* stopped at safeway for dry ice to leak check hydra.
---------
* at 12:30 MST, dropped dry ice into hydra box.
* the 1000 ppm cylinder had lost 400 psi during the leak check---need
to redo this. dragged out the 748ppm cylinder and hooked it up as
"c3". used the dekabon tubing (small size, 1/4"?) to do this.
* took photos of sites 2-6.
* noticed the flow rate for the li-6262 was negative...the li-6262
pump had stopped working. at 13:58 MST, replaced the pump with the
new one bought in Sept. (brought the broken one back to campus).
GAST Pump model is: 1531-107B-G557X
* between 14:30-15:00 MST, changed the dessicant for the profiler. It
didn't zero properly (the offset was very large). Need to look at
some recent data and see if this has been a regular thing or not.
could be a problem!!

---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove my jeep up & walked the line.
* The lock for the main gate was frozen shut.
---------
* checked the zero air at hydra (it was fine). however c4 was empty.
the tubing from c4 to the hydra was chewed through (or??). Somehow it
was severed. c2 (412.937 ppm) was still ok. Connected the 1000 ppm
cylinder to c4 (pressure= 1800 psi). ref gas was fine.
* took photos of all the hydra inlets.
* checked the east/west robots...the east was done. the west robot

cut the tubing so this won't last too long).
* at 15:30 MST, disconnected the KZ SW sensor. Need to remake the
cable for this sensor...
* checked the east robot...it was on attempt 6 (i think?). the range
measured so far was 18ppm.
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):

Friday, November 12th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB, ML, HP, KC
Purpose of visit: Meet to talk about the Radar which HP wants
to set up at the site this winter.
Weather: Overcast. About 8-10" of fresh snow on the ground. Some
periods of snow while I was there. Foggy.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove my jeep up.
* CME/ACME meeting was in the afternoon.
---------
* at 12:00 MST, swapped in a new cylinder of zero air for the Hydra
ref gas (1800 psi).
* checked the o-rings at East/West robot. at the East robot I
replaced the lower o-ring on flask #10. Checked #14 on the west robot
and it looked ok (Jessica might have swapped this out already since
she mentioned she changed some of the o-rings).
* noticed the li-6262 had some spikes on the co2 channel (h2o was fine).

Tuesday, November 9th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Change setup of HMP353 sensor. Work on
hydra inlet lines.
Weather: Overcast. Some downslope gusts, but generally calm. Looks
like it is snowing up at the divide. (Storm predicted for tomorrow).
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove my jeep up.
---------
* downloaded some logger data:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 668512 Nov 9 13:59 tchy11_9.dat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 49463 Nov 9 14:30 uc11_9.dat*
* finished re-connecting all the "undersnow" inlets. I used some new
gelman filters which will hopefully keep water/snow/ice out from the
lines. The inlets are:
A7 - air at 2.4m
A8 - West Inlet (4cm)
A9 - East Inlet (4cm)
B7 - Middle inlet (~8cm)
B8 - North inlet (4cm)
B9 - South inlet (4cm)
* at 14:30 MST, changed the gmp343 from a differential measurement
(which was wrong!) to a single ended measurement (SE). don't know if
this made much difference or not...

* installed the GMP343 sensor borrowed from vaisala---put it near the
lowest inlet on the profiler (see photos). Installed it in chan3 of
the "UC" cr23x. This is the location previously used by the li7500
which was removed on 11/5. Some notes about the settings/wiring:

* at around 14:00 MST should start having data from the GMP343. Note,
i gave it a "blow test" it to make sure it was working properly.
* at 12:56 MST, started using c2 with hydra. The c2 cylinder
is now:
Airgas CC13996 1350 psi 8 CC13996 412.937 (calibrated by Britt/Andy)
closed the main valve on the c1 cylinder (to save on gas).
* at 13:00 MST, started pump, then sample (previously I had been
running hydra with continuous pumping).
* at 15:33 MST, A8 (west, 4cm) and B9 (south, 4cm) inlets are
connected to hydra. I set the flow from these inlets to "20" (instead
of 30 as the other inlets are configured).
* note that on Sat Nov 6th at ~9:00 MST, modified the hyra code to
start sampling the air inlet at 2.4m? The first file to have the air

Friday, November 5th Visit:
---------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, JM
Purpose of visit: Remove the li-7500 at 2.5m (send back for the
solar radiation problem). Swap robot flasks. Work on hydra.
Weather: A blustery day. But very dry and warm wind.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Jia drove her subaru up (met at CU). We walked the powerline.
---------
* at 10:00 MST, dropped some dry ice into the hydra box (leak check).
* at ~12:00 MST, removed the li-7500 to return to licor for the solar
radiation-problem fix. The li-7500 is sn 75H-0082 (it was mailed to
licor on 11/10/04). There is some glue on it from the radiation
plates andrew glued to it as a temporary fix.
* Jessica swapped flasks at the West/East Robots. The logger file
from the east robot is:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 50608 Nov 3 15:27 041103w.dat*
(the west robot data file was downloaded on wednesday)
* made measurements of the boom angles for the sonics on the
mini-tower:
5.7m csat : 180 deg from magnetic North
2.56m csat : 186 deg from magnetic North
1.6m handar: North line is about 2 deg east of magnetic Norht.

Wednesday, November 3rd Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB, ML, MW
Purpose of visit: Move down the quacker box and get the hydra
back on-line.
Weather: A warm, calm day. A few gusts started picking up a bit
in the afternoon.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up my Jeep. Walked the powerline.
* the hoar-frost on the snow in the morning was fairly spectacular and
sparkley. (see photos).
---------
* met Mark L at MRS in the morning and then he helped me lower the
quacker box. After it was lowered it was much, much easier to arrange
the cables (removed some old cables which were going to UPS) and add
the short-haul modems for the hydra into the quacker box. (I'm hoping
that this will stop any crashes with the hydra edgeport).
* Moved the hydra short-haul modems into the quacker box. Here
are the connections:
Licor short haul (borrowed from ATD, B&B brand):
TdA- = blue
TdB = blue/white
RdA = white/orange
RdB = orange
Opto22 short haul (black box brand):
Tx- = blue/white
Tx+ = blue
Rx- = orange/white
Rx+ = orange
* downloaded some logger data (no time problems):

and downloaded the logger data. the logger file is:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 50608 Nov 3 15:27 041103w.dat*
* Mike W was up doing soil samples (he had told me he was going to be
in new mexico...otherwise I would have asked him to help me rather
than bother Mark L with this!!).
* changed out the ozone target (don't need to worry about this
anymore). e-mail from Andrew (also some info about dririte):
Date: Wed, 03 Nov 2004 16:12:20 MST
To: "'Sean Burns'"
From: "andrew turnipseed"
Subject: RE: ozone...
Thanks for switching the targets. Yellow means a fresh target - then
they turn brownish-yellow - then start bleaching white. The ones out in
the sensor box are all OK - not too surprising that you get a low signal
- O3 concentrations are probably pretty low these days (and will stay
there) - the reactivity might be slower when its cold too - that's one
thing that I hope to look at. I don't think you have to worry about
switching them for a while - I only have a few targets left and I'll
start spacing them out over the winter some. (at least until I make some
more). I can try and take care of switching them over the winter.
You can't use dririte upstream of the IRGA. I've never tested this
myself - but numerous people have told me that dririte interacts with
CO2 - I think it absorbs CO2. The reason we use mag. Perchlorate is
that everybody I've ever known who works with CO2 says that it is the
only dessicant that does not interact in some way with CO2. (I think
Nafion is the only other "safe" way to dry sample gas and not have an
influence on CO2).

Tuesday, November 2nd Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Restore the data system!
Weather: A fairly warm, calm day. There was a bit of up-slope
wind. About 7" of fresh snow on the ground.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up my Jeep. Walked the powerline.
* voted. . .
---------
* When I checked the data system this morning it was down. It
appeared to go down at around 23:30 Monday night. The problem looked
similar to what happened with the 2nd edgeport last year (goes into
some kind of panic mode). My empirical evidence suggests that this
happens on extremely cold nights and I think it might be due to having
the 2nd edgeport in a plastic box outside of the quacker box.
* after a bit of messing around I re-started the data system using
only 1 edgeport (so no hydra data). The lights on this edgeport (the
"old" edgeport) were blinking red, but it seemed to be working ok.
* I decided to lower the quacker box one level---as it is now working
in the quacker box involved balancing the quacker on my knee while
sitting atop a rickety ladder. I asked Mark Loslebon to help me out.
* I removed the valve from Britt/Andy which was on the span gas
cylinder. Note: the fitting on the regulator is cross-threaded and
needs to be replaced (though it seemed to work ok).
* switched the chan204 (met data logger) back to using the original short-haul
modem it was using (the replacement one I tried didn't work at all (it might
be broken?)).
251: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 08-Dec-2004 15:57:59 MST, site visit on Saturday, October 30th (SpB)
Saturday, October 30th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: See how hydra survived the wind, swap out the B2 line
with a different line.
Weather: Cold. Windy at times, but also upslope at times. There was a big
broad cap cloud up at the divide.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up my Jeep. Walked the powerline.
---------
* at 13:00 MST, swapped the tubing to B2/C2 with the tubing to B3
(from G3). This was a check to find out if the high values at B2 are
due to a problem with hydra and/or with the inlet/tubing. or is it
real?
* On Oct 28th at 10am MDT I modified the opto22 code to sample A1-A6
and then sample B1-B6. This change happened between these 2 files:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 68990 Oct 28 10:01 nwt041028.160000 (old sampling)
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 33604758 Oct 28 18:00 nwt041028.160136 (A1-A6, B1-B6)
(prior to this I was doing something like A1,B2,A2,B2, etc).
* from 14:15-15:00 MST, changed the dessicant at the profiler (had
problems with this...leave it in "auto" mode...duh!!).
* replaced the short-haul modem in the met data-logger box...this
didn't seem to help at all (in fact it seemed to make things worse).
Connections: TxA = White wire
TxB = Black wire
RxA = Green
RxB = Red
* the power supply for the hydra-licor short-haul modem at the tower
is very, very sensitive. When i walked by it it must have caused the
power to go off at the modem so we lost a few hours of hydra data.
* downloaded logger data (no time problems):
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 626466 Oct 30 13:49 tc10_30.dat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 1154710 Oct 30 14:02 soil10_30.dat*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 280685 Oct 30 15:49 tchy10_30.dat*
* connected the snow profile inlets to the hydra. The inlets
connected are:
A7 = air (2.4m ht)
A8 = West Ground level
A9 = East Ground level
B7 = middle ground level
B8 = North Ground level
B9 = South Ground level

Wednesday, October 27th Visit:
------------------------------
At the site: SpB, MW
Purpose of visit: Work with Mike to get the hydra up and running.
Weather: Nice, warm. Gentle upslope wind.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up my Jeep. Walked the powerline.
* met Mike up at the site.
---------
* Mike blew in the inlets at the following times (I was controlling
the Hydra from the trailer and talking to Mike via the radios):
-- tubing flow is set to "30" = 1.43 lpm
-- flow from hydra jars to licor box is set to "40" = 0.881 lpm
-- "D" on = A . . . "D" off = B
-- for a photo of the inlets see:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/041024/pic00016.jpg
times of blow tests:
9-off B1 = G1 = 10:14:00 MST
9-on A1 = C1 = 10:17:00 MST
9-on A2 = G2 = 10:25:00 MST (some problems, repeated below)
9-off B2 = C2 = 10:37:00 MST
9-off B3 = G3 = 10:41:00 MST
9-on A3 = C3 = 10:44:00 MST (note, Mike reported some water near filter)
9-on A4 = G4 = 10:47:00 MST
9-off B4 = C4 = 10:50:30 MST
9-off B5 = G5 = 10:56:00 MST
9-on A5 = C5 = 10:59:30 MST
9-on A6 = G6 = 11:05:30 MST
9-off B6 = C6 = 11:08:00 MST
-- repeated a few inlets at the end to make sure they are working ok --
9-on A5 = C5 = 11:18:00 MST
9-on A2 = G2 = 11:21:00 MST (some problems, repeated below)
9-off B5 = G5 = 11:25:00 MST
* at 12:40 MST started running hydra with continuous line sucking.
* started setting up the snow diffusion experiment.
* moved out a few more cylinders.

Tuesday, October 26th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Finalize several things with the hydra.
Weather: Nice, warm. Gentle upslope wind.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up my Jeep. Walked the powerline.
* saw a lynx (long legs) on the road below MRS...
---------
* added a 2nd outlet to the transformer at the hydra (Kurt from ATD
gave me the power strip to add). This outlet was added to balance the
load at the hydra and run the pump...it appears that the hydra and
pump can't be running off the same powerstrip at the same time!
* Downloaded the thermocouple and MRS snowprobe logger data:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 19478 Oct 26 12:23 mrs10_26.dat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 342709 Oct 26 11:16 tchy10_26.dat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 2156 Oct 26 14:52 tchy10_26b.dat*
* Checked the thermocouple data. Noticed that there was a problem
with the data from the AM25T. Double-checked my code and noticed it
was missing a do loop. Fixed this problem, so data after this time
should be reasonable (put details of code here).
* at ~14:00 MST, straightened out the hydra TC data and it should be
ok after this time. The AM25T mux TCs are:
chan1 - G3
chan2 - C3
chan3 - G2
chan4 - C2
chan5 - buried with the middle snow probe.
* so in the data file the columns and data should be:
1 PanelT 1 2 1
2 batV 1 1 1
then 37 columns of data which are:

* checked the snow probes. The snow probe farthest from the tree is 10cm
higher than the one in the middle (ie, it will have levels shifted by 10cm
relative to the middle probe). Probe hts:
Farthest from tree -- top ht = 170cm
Middle probe -- top ht = 160cm (this probe is #3, ie the last columns of data).

Sunday, October 24th Visit:
---------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: set up the diffusion part of undersnow.
Weather: It was snowing on/off lightly in the morning. Then warmed up
and was calm during the day. Started snowing (rather heavily) as I
left.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up my Jeep. Walked the powerline.
---------
* When the pump for the nafion dryer comes on it causes the opto22 to
lose it's mind.
* downloaded some logger data:

247: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 15-Nov-2004 14:08:16 MST, site visit on Saturday, Oct 23rd (SpB)
Saturday, October 23rd Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: finish communication to Hydra.
Weather: Bright and Sunny (but cool). There was a light
dusting of fresh snow (less than 1").
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up my Jeep (turned in the Monson Jeep on Thursday)
* Picked up some extra wood from resource2000 before going up to the site.
* (On Friday) borrowed 2 short-haul modems from Steve Oncely to try
with the hydra.
---------
* Put a new top on the hydra tower section
* tried using the non-powered blackbox short-haul modem (model
ME721A-M) to communicate with the opto22. (this didn't seem to
work). I then tried using the B&B RS-422 short-haul modem at the
end near the hydra...the "recieve" light was flashing but nothing
appeared to be happening with the opto22 (even after rebooting). One
thing I wasn't sure about...with the blackbox short-hauls there is a
"DCE/DTE" switch...the B&B modems didn't have this.
* I then attached the ME800 pair of short-hauls to the opto22 and used
the B&B modems for the licor-7000 data. (This worked...note, that it
started working when the opto22 was sent a "reset" signal at 18:00 MDT).
* The small files created when i was messing around with restarting
the data system:

h: stop output, show this help. Enter g to restart output
?: same as h
p: pause output
g: go, restart output
s: show state of relays in binary form (0=open,1=closed).
Enter g to restart output
o: open all relays
number : toggle a relay open->closed or closed->open.
You must enter a space or carriage return after the number.
There are 16 relays, so enter a number
between 0 and 15.
r: resume relay program control of relays

Thursday, October 21st Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site: SpB, MW
Purpose of visit: set up for undersnow.
Weather: Warm, calm day (the calm before the storm?). A
perfect October day to work at the site.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson jeep (returned the jeep in the afternoon).
* Mike did his soil samples.
---------
* ran the 2nd serial line from the hydra site to the tower (mike put
green flagging on this line).
* connected the short-haul modem for the opto22 at the tower (didn't have
time to connect it and try it at the other end).
* we blew out the hydra lines...several of them had some water in
them...this also confirms which lines go to which inlet. The lines
are now finished. If hydra is working before the snow covers them we
can also do a blow test...
* installed the thermocouples at approx 5cm depth near each of the
inlets. note: also placed one thermocouple in the hole of the snow
profile sensors.
* the east robot had done=1 (on attempt 3?).

* chuixiang moved all the CME hydra cylinders from the pine site down
to the trailer.
* we moved the transformer from the trailer out to the hydra location.
and also moved some of the aluminum panels (by the CU tower) over to
serve as "walls" for protecting the hydra.
* as we were leaving we helped ATD move a few tower sections from the
aspen site out to the road...they were blocking the road so we had to
help!!
236: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 15-Nov-2004 13:05:49 MST, site visit on Saturday, Oct 9th (SpB)
Saturday, October 9th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Add Hydra to the data system, check on the small profiler
pump.
Weather: Not bad (from what I recall).
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson jeep.
---------
* updated the 23x fast program and the ops files to collect data from
the new pressure sensors Andrew added to the fast ozone system (not
exactly sure why it didn't work yesterday). at around 14:00 MDT these
changes were finalized. Files are:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 32715438 Oct 9 10:00 nwt041009.080000
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 18507260 Oct 9 14:31 nwt041009.160000
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 14491628 Oct 9 18:00 nwt041009.203256
* checked on the small KNF pump at the profiler. It still didn't
seem to be working very well.
* downloaded logger data from the east robot:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 24480 Oct 9 15:06 041009e.dat*
* swapped flasks at both the east/west robots.
* modified the robot logger program to switch to a monthly cycle.
The new settings are: "Fudge=14" and "Interval= 28"...which I think
means everything will happen once a month on Wednesdays...
The robots will start running on days:
294 Oct 20th
322 Nov 17th
350 Dec 15th
and we need to collect the flasks (at the latest) on days:
294+7 Oct 27th
322+7 Nov 24th
350+7 Dec 22nd
235: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 15-Nov-2004 13:04:43 MST, site visit on Friday, Oct 8th (SpB, KK, AT)
Friday, October 8th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site: SpB, KK, AT
Purpose of visit: deliver the bowling shed.
Weather: Nice (from what I recall).
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson jeep. Before going up to the site, borrowed a
truck from ATD and went to Home Depot to get the shed for Dave
Bowling.
* Kurt Knudsen from ATD drove the truck with the shed up and I met
him at the trailer. He also let us borrow a long power cord.
---------
* Andrew turnipseed added 3 pressure sensors to the fast ozone system.
* Kurt and I unloaded the shed and piled it up near the trailer.
* We also started unspooling power cable to go from the trailer out to
the new hydra site (it didn't reach!).
* when we tried to add these data to the data system it caused problems
with the li-6262 data (they are both on the "fast" cr23x data logger). So
there were many small files created that might be problematic...these are:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 146102 Oct 8 15:12 nwt041008.211035
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 104934 Oct 8 15:25 nwt041008.212342
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 1160146 Oct 8 15:43 nwt041008.212550
* eventually, we reverted to the old cr23x logger program which didn't
cause problems for the li-6262 data.
* need to update the ops on specialk/urquell/porter!!

At the site: SpB, MW, DA, HL
Purpose of visit: look at the profiler pump.
Weather: pretty nice.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson jeep.
* Went to the ameriflux meeting in the morning...was going to meet Mike
at the site around noon, but didn't get there till almost 1pm (as he
was leaving).
* Dean Anderson was there with Hank Loescher and someone else.
---------
* mike worked some more on the inlet boxes and took soil samples.
* at 13:15 MST, replaced dessicant tube in the profiler (used the
temporary one).
* moved the licor-7000 part of the hydra out to the CU tower.
* downloaded logger data from the west robot:

Tuesday, October 5th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site: SpB, MW, KK, C, SS, JM
Purpose of visit: start setting things up for undersnow.
Weather: Partly-cloudy morning...a storm was happening up at the
divide in the afternoon (never really hit us). The afternoon was
cloudy.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson jeep.
* ATD was tearing down the "willow" tower.
---------
* mike worked on setting up the snow depth poles at the girdled plots.
* in the morning added the photodiodes/2nd PAR sensor to chan 205. photos
of the setup are at:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/photos/041005/pic00025.jpg
* at 11:44 MST (18:44 UTC) modified the following programs to do this:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns aster 2951 Oct 5 12:44 channel_config
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns aster 2200 Oct 6 11:37 covar.config
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns aster 6163 Oct 4 23:17 prep.config
(originally forgot to modify "channel_config" so there was a short
period when chan205 data are going to be a bit messed up).
* new parameters are:
- pdiode1 = North side photodiode, (on the left in the photo, with orange tape)
- pdiode2 = South side photodiode, (on right in photo, no tape)
- PAR2_up = 2nd par sensor (s/n Q15450)...add details about sensor...
SN Q15450 - Calibration Constant = 6.46 umol/(sec m2),
Calibration Multiplier = -154.80 umol/(s m2) per microamp
* downloaded data from the CNR cr23x. the files are:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 39997 Oct 5 10:13 cnr10_5.dat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 515 Oct 5 10:40 cnr10_5b.dat*
* the profiler pressure seems strange. I think the new dessicant tube
has a slightly blocked end filter. at 11:15 MST, changed the 2-micron
filter (just in case this was the problem). at 11:23 MST, zeroed
li-6251.
* took photos of the brackets used by ATD to mount instruments (we
should try and use a similar system!).
* Mike and i dismantled the hydra and moved it from the Pine tower
over to the CU tower (for testing).

seemed to be working ok, but it was buzzing and the terminals were
quite hot after running it in manual mode last time. Still using the
same battery...which looks like maybe it recovered ok??

This is correct, but last time you connected the smartmedia it was on
/dev/sda1. My worry is that when russter2 rebooted with the new kernel,
it may have renumbered those devices.

That would be the case, as long as the smartmedia is still known to the
kernel as sda1. I am not sure if the new kernel, when it rebooted, saw
that there were no devices hooked up and zeroed them out, in which case
whatever you plugged in first would be the sda device. The reverse is
true on porter, for instance. You plugged in the usbkey firt, so THAT
device is sda on porter.

Yes, you should go ahead and create that directory. Please do NOT
create any directories under /misc, as those get created as you
cd into the automount.

Yes, as you plug them in, they should show up in /var/log/messages.

------------------------------
At the site: SpB, MW, SO, JS, TD, J,
Purpose of visit: Reboot russter2. check on profiler dessicant.
setup the common inlet.
Weather: Very variable weather. Several rain squalls passed though,
but never really amounted to much. It was gusty one moment and then
calm and sunny the next.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson jeep.
---------
* Rebooted russter2...note: there was a floppy in the floppy drive
which caused russter2 to do "NTLDR" and not boot properly.
rebooted the quacker at 11:03 MDT.
restarted data system at 11:15 MDT (17:15 UTC).
* at 11:29 MST started flow to the common inlet with Hydra.
* at 11:43 MST, switched out the ozone target.

* the battery at the N Canopy tower was not powering things...it looks
like the charger wasn't working properly (no ac power light)...i tried
to recharge it with a different charger and hopefully it will run ok.
it was working when i left. --- instead of using batteries think up a
better way to power the data loggers!!
* moved the battery/battery charger from the middle of the tower
(which was previously used to power the "fast" cr23x) over by the
"soil" cr23x.
* swapped out the robot flasks...files (including Bobs logger files
from last week) are:

* helped jielun/steve to use the trimble GPS (to mark the soil
sensors)...took these data back down to CU for differential
correction.
* brought up 2 new cylinders from AirGas (get numbers). These are:
CC187532 401.0 ppm +/- 2%
CC187116 400.0 ppm +/- 2%
* brought up the new carbon-vane pump.

At the site: SpB, JH, MW, SO, KK
Purpose of visit: Download logger data. Do some prep work for
the undersnow/girdle plots this winter.
Weather: Upslope. Started off nice and sunny...a storm blew through
around 11am, but missed us. Heard some thunder off to the South. Then
it cleared up and was bright and sunny.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson jeep.
* The aspens are starting to turn yellow.
---------
* downloaded logger data from most of the tower data loggers. No

* Mike dismantled the dekabon inlets and gathered the tubing which was
at the old hydra sites (note, he might have stepped on the soil
moisture probe at the profile site...check and see if the data changed
from this?!)...
* we inventoried the remaining dekabon tubing to be:
Four Sections at 24.5m (80 feet)
One Section at 15m (24.5 feet)
(should also measure the tubing at the boxes).
* soilT probe at profile site was out of the ground (i pushed it back in).
* Mike trimble GPS'ed the new girdled tree plots.
* took some measurements of the fence around the tower. It's:
6' x 16.6' x 12'
1.83m x 5.08m x 3.68 m
* The outside of Deans tower had measurements of: 3.2m x 2.7m
* checked the east/west robots. both had done=1. details:
east robot, attempt=1, minco2=342, maxco2=395, co2_range=53 ppm
west robot, attempt=2, minco2=381, maxco2=444, co2_range=63 ppm
* worked with Steve Oncley on the Hydra inlets (blow tests). Used Gordons
new code which is:

To: Steve Oncley , Sean Burns
From: Gordon Maclean
Subject: rrelay
Steve, Sean,
I've installed the new code on daisy this morning. It seems to
be working.
To remotely control the relay use the rrelay program.
It is on both aster and daisy.
On daisy, do
/usr/local/bin/rrelay localhost
On aster, do
rrelay daisy
It first displays some help If you do "g" it will start displaying
the time, seconds since 00:00GMT, and the hex value of the relays.
Hopefully it is self explanatory. When your done with the manual
control, do "r" to resume the normal program control of the relays.
Or, when you do a "q" to quit, it will resume normal control.
In this example I did a "g" to go, an "o" to open the
relays (when you change a relay it does an "s" for you), and
then a "r" to resume the program.
Note that when you override the program, it sets bit 16, hex
value0x10000.
I'll be a Jeffco today. Send email if you have questions.

Thursday, August 26th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, AT
Purpose of visit: Meet with Andrew, help jia with branches (though
i didn't help very much), clean up the tower.
Weather: Overcast and cool. It rained a few drops every now and
there were some low clouds, but it was generally rain-free. Some
sun breaks.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson jeep.
* Andrew was up early at the tower.
* John was supposed to also help with branches, but never showed up.
* mushrooms are everywhere.
---------
* Andrew put in new tubing for the fast and slow ozone system. he
also replaced the pump for the ozone flux system.
* at around 11:30 MST switched the "flux" cr23x from battery power
back to A/C power...unplugged the battery charger and disconnected it
from the battery (in the middle of the tower). This battery is
basically brand new and can be used somewhere else at the site.
* Jia clipped branches from 7 or 8 trees...she primarily used the
canopy access towers for this and didn't need much help from me.
* re-connected the 1m inlet to run directly back to the li-6251
(instead of going through the jar).
* cleaned up some power cords and serial cables which were on the
tower. There was a blue extention cord with a oversize connector at
one end...i checked with Herm and Tim about this and here is the
reply:

Hello Sean. Herman has left for New Zealand but I believe I can answer this
question. I have never seen that blue cord or the end piece that is on it
(filter pack?). I am aware of all the gear he has used on the main tower for
the last 3-4 years and that does not look familiar. Regarding our stuff under
the red coolers. We should be done sampling in about 2weeks and we will remove
any items that (perhaps pumps/coolers unless herm decides to use them next year)
don't need to stay. Also, I'll be sure to fasten down whatever we leave.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

--------------------------
At the site: SpB, SO, JM
Purpose of visit: Check out profiler system...work on common hydra inlet.
Weather: South wind. Blustery, cool, and overcast all day. It feels
like summer is over!
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson jeep.
* found a pump in the trailer...it is a: KNF Pump -- model UN 815 KNI
serial number 1/615575, 115V/60Hz, Mfg 4/02. Need to buy a few new
pumps to have for spares...
---------
* the li6251 stopped working mid-day last Saturday...it looks like
this was due to the dessicant trap fitting being plugged up with
magnesium perchlorate.
* from 10:39-11:39 MST changed the li6251 dessicant (and also tried
to gather fittings/tubing for the new pump/inlet).
* at 11:39 MST, zeroed the li6251 and did a blow test. it was close
enought to zero that it didn't need any adjustment.
* at 11:56 MST, swiped the krypton hygrometer.
* at 15:30 MST, connected Deans old pump to the 1m inlet of the

220: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 27-Sep-2004 11:41:15 MDT, site visit on Thursday, August 19th (SpB)
Thursday, August 19th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: The "fast" cr23x was dropping data pts....look
at this.
Weather: Heavy, thick fog most of the day. Calm. Some rain in the
afternoon.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson jeep.
* Duane was over in his shack.
---------
* replaced the battery which powers the fast cr23x data logger...note:
can actually use A/C power which might be a better idea.
* installed the "pathfinder" software for the trimble GPS on the
gateway up in the trailer. (borrowed the installation disk from Todd
Ackerman).
* took a lot of "fog" photos, but these were accidentally deleted from
the digital camera before downloading them (still learning how to use
this camera).
* downloaded the CNR logger data (did this since i was up near the top
of the tower)...the file is:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 364304 Aug 19 11:25 cnr8_19.dat*
* checked that the soil/tc data logger were working ok (seemed ok).
* in the afternoon worked in the trailer (from russter2).
219: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 25-Aug-2004 18:16:43 MDT, site visit on Monday, August 16th (SpB)
Monday, August 16th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site: SpB
Purpose of visit: Continued to use Trimble GPS to mark new towers/trails.
Weather: There was an upslope wind above the trees. Warm and dry day.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson jeep.
* used my own digital camera (with 10x zoom) to get some closeup
photos of the various towers.
---------
* at 14:50 MST, repositioned the hydra west inlet to be directly above
the creek (previously it was slightly to the side of the creek). Note:
the old location of the inlet was about 20m North and 10m East of
the creek. For more details see:
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/plots_cme/niwot_map_040818.ps
* used the trimble on the trail which heads west past the west robot.
Found "R3" SF6 release point and the cylinder of SF6. Also, did
GPS measurements of the CU Tower (top) and Aspen (top). Tested to see
if the GPS is accurate enough to actually mark the corners of these
towers.
* tried to put the "pathfinder" gps software on the laptop up in the
trailer, but it wouldn't allow me to run it.
* downloaded some logger data...the files are:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 851911 Aug 16 11:18 prf8_16.dat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 521610 Aug 16 11:25 met8_16.dat*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 633576 Aug 16 12:48 uc8_16.dat*
* note, while downloading the TC data i noticed that TC6 was around
25C while the others were all around 10-19C (check this). Maybe
TC6 was in the sun?!
* Bob swapped out the West Robot flasks last Friday...data file is:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 23526 Aug 13 11:38 040813w.dat*
* checked the east/west robots...here's my e-mail to Bob:
Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2004 15:21:51 MDT
To: robert.beyer@Colorado.EDU
cc: sean.burns@Colorado.EDU
From: "Sean Burns"
Subject: Robots Update...
Bob,
you will be happy to know that your early morning trip up here on
Saturday paid off...both robots ran and both have "done=1". Since
they are both "done=1" you can come up here any day this week and swap
them out. (note: you need to make sure a "fresh" suitcase is up
here...you can call steve seibold at MRS at 303-492-8841 and he will
tell you if there is a new suitcase here or not...steve is the manager
at MRS)
here are the details from when i checked the loggers today:
done=1 attempt range min max
-------- ------- ----- ----- -----
east robot yes 1 58.6 358 417
west robot yes 1 61 397.4 459.2
as you can see the ranges are similar, but the max/mins are
different...i wouldn't worry about the min/max's being
diffferent...the co2 sensors in the robots are not that good so
differences in the absolute measurement of co2 are to be expected.
it's good to see the ranges close to eachother. something to keep in
mind is that as long as the co2 values measured by the robots are in
the 300-470ppm range they are probably fine....if they fall below 300
or above 500 this would probably mean there is a problem...a leak or
closed flask, etc....the air in the flasks will be analyzed at Utah
and the accurate values of co2 will be determined then.
i noticed at the west robot a few of the flasks had the stopcocks open
a bit too far...it's usually a good idea to make sure both orings in
the flasks are touching the flask. . .on a few of them only one o-ring
was touching (i left a note in the robot and pointed out a few example
flasks which had this problem). in the west robot i closed the
stopcocks which were easy to reach (forgot to do this at the east
robot)...also, at the west robot all the extra papers which were in
there were gone...this includes the extra forms as well as
instructions and some e-mails which were helpful to keep in
there...any idea where these things are?? maybe they were at the east
robot and i didn't notice them...
etc, etc.

Thursday, August 12th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site: SpB, SO, C
Purpose of visit: Use Trimble GPS to mark new towers/instruments.
Weather: Sunny/calm. . .slight gust from time-to-time. Stayed dry all
day (?).
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson jeep.

Arapahoe (303.449.9466). hours: 7:30-6pm. need to return the car by
Thursday the 19th.
* picked up the Trimble GPS from Todd at INSTAAR.
---------
* downloaded some logger data (once again the time seemed wrong when i
connected, but the data and time seem ok...i think the N Canopy
battery voltage is still dropping down a bit too much!!):

* at 12:40 MST, moved hydra "west" inlet back to side of the creek
(note: on 8/16 moved it so it's right over the water).
* for Hydra inlets: 120m - North side of creek
140m - at como creekside (i think on N side).
* Walked the road/trails North of the CU Tower.. .GPS'ed Pine/Willow and
all trails up to there...Trimble data file:

* Denver ground station data for this day didn't exist, so I used Ft
Collins ground station data instead.
* Worked with Jason Hill (unixOPS) to make usb media on russter2 work:
To access photos: cd /misc/smartmedia
To access usb stick: cd /misc/usbkey
(note: don't need to "unmount" these devices...they will automatically
be unmounted and/or just unplug them.)

Monday, August 9th Visit:
-------------------------
At the site: SpB, SO, TD, BS, BS
Purpose of visit: Tour of new towers by NCAR.
Weather: South wind. Clear at the site, but cloudy out on the plains.
Fairly warm and sunny.
---------
Misc Notes:
* met Steve O and Tony at NCAR and rode up in the ATD Jeep. Britt met
us at the site. Bill Sacks and ? were the only ones on the tour.
---------
* Steve & Tony led a small tour to the new NCAR towers (aspen/pine/willow).
(this will be the last time Tony is at the site for a while...)
* Britt did a roundabout with the portable tanks...
* it looks like when i logged out of russter2 at 8:56am it somehow
stopped the archive process on russter2...i can't recall what i did
differently about logging out that morning (if anything). i was in a
hurry to meet with Tony/Steve, so maybe i exited without quitting the
cockpit??
covar kept running so we have 5-minute statistics, but no hi-rate data
(i didn't notice and fix this problem till 8am on Friday, 8/13).
216: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 25-Aug-2004 18:11:12 MDT, site visit on Wednesday, August 4th (SpB, TD) and on Friday, August 6th (SpB, CC, DK)

Purpose of visit: Tear down sodar (done by Craig), do some GPS'ing.
Weather: Downslope bursts of cool air/wind...when wind stopped, rather
warm. a brief shower passed through around 3pm leaving sparkling,
clear air in its' wake.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson jeep.
* on Thurs picked up the Trimble GPS from Todd at INSTAAR. (need to
return it so he can use it next Tues).
---------

the tower (i think they are hers?):
- Small Scott-Speciality Cylinder: CO in Air (07A97?)
- 150-size Nitrogen Cylinder Bal-2923
* swapped east robot flasks; brought 2 suitcases back to campus.
* checked the new cylinder at the West Robot and the pressure seemed
fine (over 2000 psi)
* at 15:30 MST, opened valves for tanks #9 (cal3) and #12 (cal1) at
the hydra (pine site). (they appeared to hold pressure fine after
the last visit).

Subject: mounting dazzle smart media device on russter2...
Hi,
I tested mounting a "dazzle" smartmedia device on russter2 (computer
in trailer above MRS)...the commands i did (which seemed to work fine)
were:
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/smartmedia/
then the /mnt/smartmedia was seen as:
/home/staff/sburns[46]: df -k | grep smart
/dev/sdb1 31968 1744 30224 6% /mnt/smartmedia
the files on there were:

can the mount command be added to /etc/fstab so that anyone user has
the ability to mount this device? I'm going to reboot this computer
at around 12:30pm so if any changes can be made before that it would
be fine...

---------
Misc Notes:
* took MRS shuttle up; drove down in the Monson Jeep with
Mike/Jia/Jess.
---------
* walked the sf6 lower inlet line to get an idea of where
the inlets are (diff GPS these pts at a later date).
* checked hydra cylinder values:
Ref= 1750/8

Wednesday, July 28th Visit:
---------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, J, SO, TD
Purpose of visit: Swap out the krypton hygrometer.
Weather: Cumulus clouds up at the divide. As the upslope wind
developed there was a storm to the North of us. . .hail and
lightning/thunder started around 13:30.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson Jeep.
* Gene Allwine is going to pack up things on Friday.
* lots of flowers and mushrooms popping up everywhere (check out
photos!).
---------
* from 10-11 MST, replaced the borrowed NCAR krypton hygrometer
(sn1101) with our recalibrated one. Here are the coefficients
for the NCAR krypton:
this is from ATD...the info is in /net/aster/cal_files/krypton1101
# A value of 0.0 for SonicSeparation likely means that it isn't available -
# someone needs to re-visit the project info and make a determination.
#
# Kw Vo (mv) X(cm) Bias SonicSeparation(cm)
# DASH04, calibration done at NCAR
2003 Dec 30 00:00:00 -.188 3375.2 1.3 0.0 0.0
# CME04, calibration done at NCAR
2004 Jun 1 00:00:00 -.168 2464.9 1.3 0.0 0.0
our newly calibrated krypton (sn: 1249) has the following values
(updated in lat.heat1.q and sens.heat.q):
# Borrowed a krypton hygrometer from ATD (sn 1101) from Jun 15-Jul 28 2004 :
if(t1 >= utime("04 jun 15 120000") & t1 < utime("04 jul 28 110000")) {
plength <- 1.3 # pathlength in cm
if(rhov*1000 <= 9.00 ) kw <- 0.168
else kw <- 0.168
}
# Recalibrated July 2005 :
if(t1 >= utime("04 jul 28 110000") & t1 < utime("10 jan 1 000000")) {
plength <- 1.229 # pathlength in cm
if(rhov*1000 <= 9.20 ) kw <- 0.162 # note: these are the "windows scaled" values
else kw <- 0.147
}
## units : g m^-3
the values for the ncar krypton are the "clean" window values..plus
they don't do a wet and dry range (that is why wet/dry ranges are the
same for the sn 1101).
* checked that the soil data logger was still ok (time was ok & the
mux was clicking).
* Jia and Jess were setting up the west sap flow site.
* there was a suitcase sitting down at MRS.
* the sodar was working, but i didn't download data.
* Bob did the robots on Monday...the files are:

Wednesday, July 21st Visit:
---------------------------
At the site: SpB, JH, J, SO, BL/GA+
Purpose of visit: Change dessicant on the profiler.
Weather: Big cumulus clouds up on the divide. Seemed like it might
rain, but never really happened.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove up the Monson Jeep.
* Brian Lamb/Gene Allwine group doing SF6 releases.
* Jia/Jessica were working on the east sap flow sensors.
* loaned a cylinder of co2 to Brian Lamb/Gene:
SG9153646BAL 409.2 ppm (+/- 2%)
(note, they found this cylinder to have sf6 in it, so
they couldn't use it and borrowed the scott-marrin one
out at the tower)
---------
* Downloaded a some logger data (no time problems, though I had to
adjust several of the data logger clocks which seemed a bit strange,
eg, profile logger was around 1:20 fast)...logger data files are:

* at 11:12 MST, did a zero of the li-6262. Both co2 and h2o were
about + 17 mV. Set to zero.
* between 11:30-11:45 MST changed the profiler dessicant. at 11:40
MST did a zero check (near zero, no adjust). Did a blow test (ok).
* at 11:41 MST, ran span gas, value was ~ 1.283 mV.
* at 11:42:15 MST, back to manual mode.
* stopped by the east robot to check on it:
at 12:44 MST, pump was running (valve=13).
at 12:47 MST, pump stopped. (valve stayed at 13)
at 12:48 MST, valve switched to 14.
* checked Hydra tank pressures:
cal1 1900/25
cal2 1950/10
cal3 700/21
cal4 1910/6
ref 1950/2
i didn't have a wrench with me so i closed the valve on cal3...the
regulator on cal3 seemed a bit flakey...
** also, here's info about the pressure sensor on the li-6262:

To: "'Sean Burns'"
From: "andrew turnipseed"
Subject: RE: li6262...
The only problem that I remember about low pressure stuff is that the
pressure sensor that is in the Li6262 has a stated lower measurement
limit of 58 kPa (ambient is about 71 kPa). So if you're pulling through
a long line - you can drop below this threshold. However, I found that
the pressure sensor is actually linear below this, but gives a negative
voltage. (that's why we always have a negative voltage on our EC
Li6262!). Essentially there is no problem - you just have to feel good
that the calibration of the pressure sensor extends past what Licor
states. I used an independent pressure sensor to do this - it probably
holds for all of the Licor P-sensors though.
Quick fix - just keep running it and record the negative voltages from
the pressure sensor. You also may have to make sure there aren't any
leaks in the connections inside the Licor (they will suck air in). But
you have to do that anyway. Probably my only other comment is that you
would like to span that irga at the pressure that you're sampling at -
then it should be no problem.

Fyi - I was up at the ridge today. Switched to a new target in the
fast O3 sensor, so it should be OK for a few weeks. Also played
around with some O3 tests. So signals may look funny between 12:30
and 1:30 today. There are 3 or 4 more targets in the fast O3 box with
the flow controller. They are all "good" (or new) - no matter what
the labels on them may say. I may try to do a little work on the O3
system here soon.

------------------------
At the site : SpB, DA
Purpose of visit: Swap the robot flasks (now running in aircraft mode).
Weather: Puffy cumulus clouds floating off the divide. A good day to
escape to the cool mountians!
---------
Misc Notes:
* used the Monson jeep.
* the first C130 flights in July happened in the morning (RF06)
and afternoon (RF07).
* picked up 2 suitcases at MRS on the way up to the trailer. Bob swapped
flasks last Friday and shipped 3 suitcases back to Utah.
* saw the endangered green-back cutthroat in como creek (first time
this year).
---------
* checked the n2 and span gas at the tower --- span gas was around 2000psi.
n2 around 1100 psi.
* tried to reconnect the cable for the PSP sensor. no luck. i think i need
to pull this down and remake the cable. Downloaded the CNR data from
the cnr logger:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 433465 Jul 12 15:06 cnr7_12.dat
* swapped flasks at the East and West robots. these are "aircraft"

To: Sean Burns
From: Gordon Maclean
Subject: Re: prep.config...
This problem is definitely not a kernel issue.
Check the covar group that the fast.o3 variable is a member of:
cd $ASTER/projects/NIWOT/ops1/
fgrep o3 covar.config
It is a member of this group:
0 F u.csi.24m v.csi.24m w.csi.24m tc.csi.24m co2.ec h2o.ec h2o.kr fast.o3 p.kPa nox;
If any variable in that group is missing for an entire 5 minute
statistics period, then the resultant statistics for the entire
group will have the mising data flag. One of the changes I made
to the campbell_binary code is that 6999 is converted to the
missing data value. If one of the other variables in the group
is fixed at 6999, then the 5 minute statistics for the entire
group is given the missing data value. That is probably what is
going on.
If you can verify that then we can figure out how to proceed.

so, all seemed ok, excpept the "p.kPa" data are all messed up
(1e+37)...i think this is the pressure output by the li-7500 (which i
still have disconnected). So, i removed both p.kPa and "nox" (which
was just floating voltage) from the 0 group in "covar.config"..then i
did the redo_covar and all seemed to work ok now. i guess when i
restarted the covar process (by rebooting russter2 on July 8th) it
must have started using the changes you made to binary_campbell.c back
in June...
i have a question for you about the ops organization on russter2...but
i'll wait till you are back in town...
thanks!

Yup you've got to kill -HUP it, give it a few seconds to quit and then
rerun. Run it from your account. There is a script in
$ASTER/projects/NIWOT/scripts called covar_quacker which runs it with
the above options.

Subject: stupid li7500...
hi,
ok, the sonic at 21.5m is back in business...i noticed that in
addition to the sonic the li7500 was also giving back 9999s...this
made me wonder if it was a problem with the SDM ports on the
23x...since both the csat and the li7500 share those ports. andrew,
do you know who's cr10x is in a white box near the top of the tower?
there is a sc32a communication box which has "mark williams" written
on it...so, is that his cr10x? anyway, i was able to connect to this
cr10x (the date on the logger was from 2000)...and my plan was to hook
up the csat to this cr10x (thinking maybe the SDM ports on the 23x
were having problems...)...before i did this i did something simpler.
dissconnect the csat from the SDM ports...still 9999s on the
li7500...then i did the opposite...only connected the csat. then, it
worked. must be a problem with the li7500 or the li7500 cable...
gordon, sorry i doubted your code!!...send me a bill for a margarita
on the beach...
i disconnected the li7500 and will deal with this when i get back from
vacation...it's nice to have these data, but i don't consider them
"critical" (like the csat at 21.5m).
andrew, i'll send you some more details about the problems with the
login to russter2...it's something in your .login or .cshrc that now
needs to get the aster code in a different location...however, i feel
pretty good that russter2 won't crash like the old russter was (which
was not crashing too often)...
i need to get going...

200: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 13-Jul-2004 17:34:17 MDT, site visit on Thursday, June 17th (SpB, BB, RM, SO, SS)
Thursday, June 17th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site : SpB, BB, RM, SO, SS
Purpose of visit: Meet Gordon at the trailer to change from russter to russter2.
Weather: Just at the edge of the fog in the morning. Started raining/snowing
as the day went on.
---------
Misc Notes:
* used the Monson jeep.
* The steves from ncar were working on the ATD data system. (gordon
was planning to be there, but never made it)
---------
* connected russter2 to the tower hub.
* spent (wasted?) most of the day trying to change the data system
without Gordons help. This was mostly unsuccessful, and at the end of
the day I switched back to using russter (but left russter2 connected
to the tower network).
* disconnected russter (put a terminator in the MRS network hut, but
left the 10-base2 hub there).
* Brant and Bob came up and swapped out the robot flasks. Logger files are:

Tuesday, June 15th Visit:
-------------------------
At the site : SpB, TD, B, KK, MR
Purpose of visit: Work on chan200. Change the battery charger at the
N Canopy tower. Swap out the krypton hygrometer.
Weather: Clear blue in the morning. light winds. started to cloud up
in the afternoon and was raining lightly when i left (around 5pm).
---------
Misc Notes:
* used the Monson jeep.
* met up with Mike Ryan (and john?) who are doing soil respiration
measurements around the tower site (scale of ~ 50m grid).
* stopped by NCAR and picked up Tony Delany and Brian who are
working on the Hydra lines.
* anchors were being drilled be ncar at the pine site.
* Tony Delany borrowed 18 of our Gelman filters from the
trailer (there are 6 left, he said he will buy us the ones
he's borrowing).
---------
* replaced the battery charger at the N Canopy tower with a
"automatic" charger. The one which was there was a "manual" charger
and should not be used for long-term battery health. (need to check
that the battery at the N Canopy tower is still ok).
* downloaded logger files from the N Canopy data loggers..after
changing out the battery charger I re-set the data logger times since
the soil logger had a time problem (TC logger was ok)...files
downloaded are:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 1124703 Jun 15 10:11 soil6_15.dat

-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 644619 Jun 17 09:52 mrs_040615.dat
* at 11:57 MDT the russter rebooted. This killed the data system. I
left it off for several hours while i was working on cleaning up the
serial cables in the quacker box. It looked like russter crashed due
to a memory SIMM problem...
* at 12:30 MST changed the ozone target. pulled out "NEW 2".
* checked east/west robots. east, done=1, co2_range= 61.41 west,
done=0, co2_range= 46.7. I slightly lowered the lower inlet at the
west robot...so now they are both about 4 cm off the ground.
* took some photos of the new NCAR "willow" tower.
* tried restarting the sodar and it seemed to work ok.
198: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 13-Jul-2004 17:27:57 MDT, site visit on Friday, June 11th (SpB)
Friday, June 11th Visit:
------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Swap robot flasks. Check on ch200 (UC logger).
Weather: A cool (almost cold) day. Overcast with gusty downslope
winds.
---------
Misc Notes:
* used the Monson jeep.
* went shopping before I went up to the site. Bought the following
items:
1. set screw (for grounding)
2. braided grounding cable
3. replacement flourecent bulbs for trailer
4. battery charger (automatic model).
5. several various-sized crescent wrenches (keep at tower)
6. a new extention cord (~20') for the UPS/quacker.
* on 6/9 at around 20:40 UTC channel 200 (UC logger) stopped sending data
to the quacker.
---------
* Downloaded sodar data (sodar_040611.zip). Burned the files onto
a CD so I could get some of the older *.raw data files. I found
that these files compress quite well. The sodar did not come back
up when I tried to reboot the system. I turned the UPS off and put
the sodar laptop in the trailer. Other sodar notes:
Sodar/PC Time: 14:20:00
My Watch Time: 13:21:04 MDT (or, 12:21:04 MST)
C Drive= 37 Gb, Free Space= 16.8 Gb.
* investigated what was wrong with ch200. the short-haul modem (black box)
had no lights on the front of it. I modified the UC logger program to
send the data out the rs-232 port (instead of the CS i/o port) and used the
extra serial cable that was going out to that box. This seemed to work
ok (note: there are occasional data dropouts with this setup).
* downloaded the UC logger file before doing anything:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 74982 Jun 11 14:13 uc6_11.dat
* swapped the east/west robot flasks. The logger files are:

Tuesday, June 8th Visit:
-----------------------
At the site : SpB, TD, KK, J/K
Purpose of visit: Check sodar, robots.
Weather: typical--sunny morning, cloudy afternoon. some rain.
---------
Misc Notes:
* used the Monson jeep.
---------
* Downloaded sodar data (sodar_040608.zip). I switched the sodar
to run with the old version of FASrun (2.0.0-p45). . .this was an effort
to figure out why the *.raw files are so small with FASRun 2.01. Added
a fan in an effort to keep the sodar cool.
* Checked the east and west robots...east robot had done=1, and
west robot had done=0. the co2_range at the east robot was around
162.4ppm. (One of the stopcocks was not open all the way)
* from 14:00-14:20 MST Kurt replaced the bottom and top breakers with
non-gfi breakers. We were originally only going to replace the bottom
breaker, but we did the wrong one to start with...so just did both.
* with Kurt checked the tension on the tower cables. The results (i
think these numbers are tension in lbs):
inside cables outside cables
NW 600 600 680 680 (ie, corner near fence door)
NE 640 640 680 680
SW 550 600 600 600
SE 600 600 610 700
* downloaded the UC logger data and MRS snow probe data. Files are:

* modified the cnr logger program to stop outputting these parameters at 1-hz (might need to change
this back if we get back the CNR sensor). Before doing this downloaded the CNR logger data:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sburns 344729 Jun 4 11:46 cnr6_4.dat*
* @11:00 MST swapped out the li-6251 dessicant. at 11:26 MST, finished.
did a zero.
* Measured the snowprobe measurement depths. These are:
Snow Probe A (at site 5): -7cm, 3cm, 13cm, 23cm, up to 93cm.
SnProbe B (at profile site): -22cm, -12cm, -2cm, 8cm, up to 178cm.
Snow Probe C (at site 1): -17.5cm, -7.5cm, 2.5cm, 12.5cm, up to 182.5cm.
* Measured 2.5m csat boom to be pointing at around 170 deg from magnetic North (need to figure out
a better way to do this measurement).

* put a 9/16" grounding rod in near the soil data logger.
* increased the resolution of the li-6251 signal (from 1mV to 0.1mV
resolution). Here are the details of what I did:
% modified:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 maclean aster 6736 Jun 2 14:37 /usr/local/aster/config/sio_msg_formats
by adding the line:
camp_bin_10l_1h 0x00 none 24 binary "\xfc\x01" 20 none
i also needed to modify the cr23x code, "prof30b.csi". I increased the
resolution output which was doing (note, that i only increased the resolution
of the co2, not the other parameters):

was the old scott-marin standard which Russ wanted to use in the lab.
* The snow is melting quickly.
* there was a lame rabbit near the snow pit area.
---------
* at ~10 MST, replaced the REBS domes.
* pulled all the dessicant out of the boxes on the tower and the soil
logger box...need to bake the used dessicant and then return it to the
boxes (didn't do the ones at the N Canopy tower).
* downloaded logger data:

* brought a cylinder of N2 out to the tower.
* at 13:40 MST, shutdown the profiler to change the inlet filters (and
the Nupro filter inside the box). Did a zero check. At 14:51 MST,
profiler back on-line (did another zero check).
* at 15:00 MST, zeroed the li-6262.
* downloaded the data file at the west robot. this is:

Friday, May 14th Visit:
-----------------------
At the site : SpB, MW, CC, AW
Purpose of visit: Restart the data system (quacker was down). Do
flasks (for c130 flight).
Weather: Strange weather. A beautiful, calm morning at the site (with
about a foot of fresh snow). Turned blustery and snowy in the
afternoon. then partly cloudy.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove jeep up to MRS (saw a herd of Elk off the peak-to-peak).
* Craig Clements from Univ of Houston was at the site working
on the sodar (near c1).
* brought the trailer li-6251 down to CU for Russ...the coefficients
for this licor are:

* Duane was filling cylinders---however he has a new ballast system so
he will primarily be filling the ballasts at night instead of pumping
during the day.
---------
* at 6:00 MST, restarted the data system. (note: Andy Watt had been
up there the night before to reset the bottom breaker...in doing so,
he tried to clean snow off the extention cords and accidentally
tweaked the extention cord to the UPS). The UPS/quacker extention
cord/outlet is very sensitive to being moved...i should put a note
there or try to fix this. Also, Andy mentioned that he was there
right at 20:30 MDT...the data system went down at 20:33 MDT...this
probably indicates a need to replace the UPS battery.
* 6:45-7:00 MST, the C130 was flying near the tower. was sitting
up there waiting for it to fly over, but that didn't happen till i
was back on the ground. i caught the 2nd flyover.
* Mike W. was up there taking soil samples.
* the sodar was not operating. a fuse was blown, and Craig C. was
working to fix this.
* downloaded the logger data from the North Canopy tower (times were
ok at MRS and TC, but soil logger was off).

% Logger data processing Notes
...all fine on the main tower, N Canopy tower had power problems...the
battery was slowly losing power (see this by plotting the battery voltage
from the MRS logger).
around March 20th (jd 80) it really started having problems and we lost
data from the TC and soil cr23x data loggers. apparently the cr10x
needs less power and the MRS snowprobe data were more-or-less ok.
it looks like soil5_3b.dat holds all the data from jd 74-118:
ie, soil5_3b.dat: 74 to 118.
there is a large gap in the middle of this file..this is when the
power was not working well at the N canopy tower...the gap is:
137,82,1820,-6999,-.195,.009,.018,.045,
137,82,1825,-6999,-.195,.005,.018,.046,

137,110,1255,-6999,-.604,-.726,-.599,-.32,
137,110,1300,-6999,-.603,-.729,-.6,-.321,
this creates nearly a 1 month gap in the data!!
note that soil3_17b.dat stops at day77...ie,
tail soil3_17b.dat
137,77,1530,-6999,-.424,-.629,
137,77,1535,-6999,-.428,-.627,
and soil5_3b.dat starts at day 74...so there is some overlap
here...remove the first 3 days of data from soil5_3b.dat and then
everything is clean.
now, i combined soil5_3b.dat and soil5_3c.dat into soil5_3.dat ... use soil5_3.dat for March, April, and May!!

Monday, May 10th Visit:
-----------------------
At the site : SpB, JS, CC, DA, KK
Purpose of visit: Setup the sodar. Reconnect the eppley PSP sensor.
Clean the krypton hygrometer.
Weather: Winds were southerly...lots of cumulus clouds around.
Cumulus congestus out over the plains as we left. Cool and
comfortable. (note, later in the evening there were tornados and
t-storms out over the plains).
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove up with Jielun from FL. Craig Clements from Univ of Houston
was at the site to set up a sodar (near c1).
* Lots of snowmelt since last week. the trail is now showing bare
patches and there is water flowing down the trail. Open areas are all
snow-free, but the forest still has plenty of snow.
* Dean Anderson was bringing co2 out to the USGS system.
* Kurt Knudson (from NCAR) was unloading tower sections.
---------
* Helped unload the scintec sodar stuff from the van (didn't do too
much, Jielun and Craig did the setup).
* ~13:00 MST, swiped the krypton hygrometer (need to get some more DI
water).
* ~13:10 MST, reconnected the PSP...I put some electrical tape on the
connector which will hopefully stop this from happening again.
* downloaded UC logger data:
* note about scintec software---use version 2.0 (not the 2.1 version).
* next time up at the site need to replace the profiler dessicant (the
dessicant tube is at the base of the tower, but need to bring the
indicator glass).

* Brant and Mike carried the hydra back to the trailer. Steve and I
took the li-7000 box and cylinders, etc.
* Brant and Mike collected soil samples and checked on lysimeters.
* disconnected the hydra edgeport from the quacker (the edgeport is
now in the trailer). I left the usb hub in the quacker box and it's
still being used by the edgeport there. Also, I turned on the fan in
the quacker box.
* Steve, Brant, and I went around to see the proposed NCAR tower
locations (willow, pine, aspen).

Monday, May 3rd Visit:
----------------------
At the site : SpB, AW
Purpose of visit: Reset the bottom breaker. Try out the walk-around
co2 tanks with Andy Watt. Download logger data.
Weather: Very warm and sunny...it was relatively calm with the
occasional gust. Wind was from the south for a little while, but then
was primarily downslope. Clouded up in the afternoon and spit a bit
of rain/snow/wetness on me (even though it was sunny). Nice clouds.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove the jeep up. Met Andy Watt at MRS.
* Andy Watt had 3 small co2 cylinders in a backpack system (same as
what we used in summer 2002).
* The snow is still holding up (especially in the morning), but i
started postholing a few times. The road was quickly becoming
snow-free.
---------
* at ~10 AM MST, reset the bottom breaker. (before resetting them i
checked the time on the soil cr23x logger and it seemed fine...ie, the
battery kept everything running over the weekend). it looks like the
breaker popped Friday afternoon at around 5-6pm'ish.

load it the logger. both programs will start over the following day at
their respective start times. Sean and Brant, you have a window
between 3 and 9 pm to collect flasks from both robots once you get the
flight time from Chun-Ta. So, you should collect flasks from both
robots between 3 and 9 pm the day of the flight. The choice of robot
and program is up to you. Please collect the data each time you
collect flasks and please write on the field form the robot (east /
west) and the program on that robot (am / pm). Please also, reset the
robots as normal once the flasks and data have been collected. Leave
these programs on the robots until the airborne experiment is
finished.
Let me know if you need anything else. Another suitcase left today for
Niwot. My cell phone number is 801.573.1033. Please call me if you need
anything!
* West Robot is using niwot_pm.csi (station is RobWairc)
East Robot is using niwot_am.csi (station is RobEairc)
* at 15:42 MST -- set the hydra flow rate to the buffer volumes
back to 30 (was at 50). Note: B4 could not maintain the high
flow rate.
* Did one quick injection of co2 under the snow...details:
injection1 -- used 164cm injection port
@17:37:30 MST, started flow of co2
@17:38:00 MST, stopped flow of co2
@17:38:23 MST, the pump came on.
(this was based on my watch time...watch is ~20sec fast)
---before doing this i removed the inlet cover to one of
the co2 profile inlets and buried the gelman filter in the
snowpack...
* downloaded logger data...no time problems (even with the
bottom breaker popping)...there seemed to be a lot of soil
logger data files which was strange...the data files are:

* switched the indicator dessicant for the profiler system.
(note: there is a fresh supply of magnesium perchlorate
at the base of the tower).
* dug a snowpit (might be the last one in our clearing).
184: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 11-May-2004 11:21:57 MDT, site visit on Saturday, April 24th (SpB)
Saturday, April 24th Visit:
---------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Dig a snow pit. Clean snow off the hydra.
Weather: Rather windy (downslope). Lots of sunshine...there was fresh
snow in the morning, but started turning slushy in the afternoon.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove the jeep up.
* brought cylinder, CC145936 out to the tower...co2 concentration:
399.9, 1000 psi (i think this is air from one of Tonys cylinders).
* the lights in the trailer had been left on...one of the
florescent bulbs was out, and the other was flickering.
---------
* cleaned snow off of the Hydra (retrieved the multi-meter).
* confirmed that the tc logger at the North Canopy tower was working
(at least the time seemed fine, and no "low battery" messages)
* dug a snow pit.
183: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Fri 23-Apr-2004 15:22:21 MDT, site visit on Monday, April 19th (SpB, BB, MW)
Monday, April 19th Visit:
-------------------------
At the site : SpB, BB, MW
Purpose of visit: Replace the battery at the North Canopy Tower.
Check robot flasks. Dig a snow pit.
Weather: A light upslope wind. It was supposed to be windy today, but
that didn't happen until later in the evening. It was a pleasant
spring-like day to be up at the site (but still lots of snow on the
ground). Surprisingly, the road was still snowed over.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Met Brant at settlers park and he drove up.
* bought two new 100' extention cords from McGuckins and borrowed two
100' (blue) extention cords from ACD to use at the N canopy tower.
* Mike Weintraub (new post-doc) came up to help.
* I think i left the multi-meter out by the hydra...i think it's
underneath the hydra and should be out of the weather.
---------
* Replaced the battery charger and battery at the North Canopy Tower.
Ran 2 sections of 100' extention cords from the bottom outlet to the
battery charger for the data loggers at the N Canopy Tower. Also
borrowed 2 sections of 100' extention cords (the blue ones) to run the
Hydra. The extention cords I'm using are a thicker gage than the old
one which (hopefully) will help with our power problems at the North
Canopy tower. Note: the cr10x ("MRS logger") records the battery
voltage which can be used to tell when the power/battery started
having problems. The cr10x worked ok with the low battery-voltage,
but the two cr23x loggers ("soil" and "tc") did not (probably lost
several weeks of data from them).
* After replacing the battery/charger system we redownloaded the
campbell programs to the data loggers (reset the clocks, though i
might not have done this with the soil logger??). All seemed to be
working fine when we left.
* The breakers were fine---i showed Mike where they were and how to
reset them when they pop.
* Brant did a snow pit.
* for the robots: co2 range at the east robot was ~8.9ppm and the west
was around 15ppm. Brant hauled the suitcase out to the West Robot and
it's still there (to use next time we swap flasks).
* Did one quick injection of co2 under the snow...details:
injection1 -- used 164cm injection port
@14:01:00 MST, started flow of co2
@14:01:30 MST, stopped flow of co2
(this was my watch time...might be MDT, not MST?!)
* We hauled back 2 empty N2 cylinders (probably need to calibrate a
cylinder of co2 span gas next week and bring it out to the tower).
182: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Fri 23-Apr-2004 15:15:56 MDT, site visit on Wednesday, April 14th (SpB)
Wednesday, April 14th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Bottom breaker popped yesterday (not sure when).
Swap robot flasks. Replace plastic cover over the li6262 inlet.
Weather: Big snow at the end of last week and over the weekend
(probably about 20"). There were some wet-looking cumulus clouds in
the morning and dark clouds up near the divide. Winds were primarily
downslope. Periods of sun...most of the time it was calm, but there
were occasional wind gusts. The air/trees/towers were fairly
dry...but where there was snow it was melting and dripping (it was
rather warm).
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove the jeep up.
* gave MRS Andy a bunch of completed snow-pit forms.
* Brant did a snow pit on Monday (and broke trail).
---------
* cleared the snow off of the top of the hydra.
* the bottom breaker was popped.. reset at 11:40 MST.
* downloaded logger data...there were lots of time problems in the
loggers at the N canopy tower....and the programs did not seem to be
working correctly...the files are:

* TC Logger had a message: E10 134 Low Battery.
* increased the CNR logger clock by about +50 sec.
* swapped the robot flasks, changed the cycle to go from Sat to Wed
(ie, fudge factor is now 3 (not 4). left the suitcase in the trailer.
The programs being used are:
* at 12:20 MST, disconnect the li6262 and changed the 2 micron Nupro filters
at the inlet and within the li6262 box. Also, replaced the plastic cover
which is at the inlet to the li6262 (see photos).
* at 13:29 MST, zeroed the li6262. co2 went from +16mV ---> 0
h2o went from +14mV ---> 0
* took photos of hydra inlets...photo order: 17, 4, 5, snowT, 7, 8,
18+9, 18, 9, 10, 12, 10(again), 1, 2
* Did injections of co2 under the snow...details:
(times are based on my watch time...might be MDT, not MST?!)
injection1 -- used 128cm injection port
@16:33:00 MST, started flow of co2
@16:33:30 MST, stopped flow of co2
pump came on at 16:34:17 (watch is probably off by 17 seconds).
injection2 -- used 164cm injection port
@17:46:00 MST, started flow of co2
@17:46:35 MST, stopped flow of co2
pump came on at 17:47:20 (watch is probably off by 17 seconds).
* from 17:00-17:25 MST, changed dessicant in li6251. (Didn't have the
dri-rite indicator, but will bring with me next time). at 17:26 MST,
zeroed li-6251, offset was approx 0.013 mV.
181: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Fri 23-Apr-2004 15:14:16 MDT, site visit on Wednesday, April 7th (SpB)
Wednesday, April 7th Visit:
---------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Bottom breaker popped yesterday afternoon. Swap
robot flasks. Replace plastic cover over the li6262 inlet (never had
a chance to do this).
Weather: Calm and partly cloudy in the morning. Started snowing
around the time i left the trailer. Snowed/sleeted on/off all day
(accumlated about 4 inches?). Never much wind. By the end of the day
it was very cloud-like.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove the jeep up. The road up to C1 was pretty well snowed over.
* very wet, heavy snow (probably snowed a fair amount last weekend).
the snow depth near tree boles was quite shallow (after the warm
weather last week), but in the open areas the snow seemed as deep as
it has been all winter. everything was wet and dripping.
* brought along an umbrella which was quite helpful when using the
laptop.
---------
* both the bottom and top breaker were popped. reset at 10:40 MST.
* swapped the robot flasks, changed the cycle to 7 days (details).
This was done using a "fudge day" of 4....and cycle of 7days...which
means the flasks are ready to check on Fridays (note: this was changed
to a fudge day of 3 on the april 14 visit).
* left the suitcase at MRS to be picked up by fedEX.
* reset all the loggers at the N canopy tower. spent some time
modifying the program for the tc logger (since the ref temperature
seems dead in the am416t?). downloaded some logger data:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 486985 Apr 14 08:51 mrs_040407.dat
-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 1459 Apr 7 11:17 tc4_7.dat*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 168 Apr 7 11:31 tc4_7b.dat*
* there appear to be power problems at the N canopy tower.
* the li6262 was powered off since the top breaker popped...also, when
I reset the breaker there was still not power at the top outlet (which
powers the li6262). I hit the "test gfi" button on the breaker and
then it seemed to start working (this has never happened to me
before). It could be water getting into the extention cord??...might
need to put some tape around this or protect it from water?
* took some photos of the inlets...it was snowing so i did this rather
quickly (only 1 photo at each location)...photo order: s17, 4, 5, 7,
8, 18+9, 9(?), 10, 12, 1, 2, 10.
* didn't have time to do a snow pit (asked brant to do this on Friday).
180: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Fri 02-Apr-2004 13:00:28 MST, site visit on Thursday, April 1st (SpB)
Thursday, April 1st Visit:
--------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Try another diffusion experiment with the Hydra
(using pure co2). Download some logger data. Snow pit. Check
Robots. Replace plastic cover over the li6262 inlet.
Weather: Warm and cloudy (light upslope wind). I thought I heard
thunder, but it might have been a plane.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove the jeep up. Practically no snow at MRS. Took a ride
with Duane up to the trailer (brought a robot suitcase with me).
* heard what i thought were warblers (maybe RC kinglets?) twittering
(never got to see them). (Probably these are dark-eyed juncos!)
* Como creek is gurgling pretty nicely now. the packed part of the
trail is still ok for travel. but off trail need snowshoes.
---------
* When i arrived at the trailer all the hydra boxes on cockpit were
RIP...the bottom breaker had popped (first time this has happened this
year). at 11:20MST reset the breaker. Hard to tell when it popped,
but maybe sometime yesterday evening (i know it was working ok
yesterday afternoon). End result: no hydra data as long as there is
no power (the battery can't run the pumps for long).
* this messed up all the N Canopy data loggers...here are some of the
time problems:
Data Logger Logger Time PC/MST Time
----------- ---------------- -------------
soil 3/03/03, ?? 4/1/04, 11:30:00 MST
23xTCs 04/06/06, 12:19:40 4/1/04, 12:05:00 MST
MRS cr10x 01/01/00, 1:12 4/1/04, 12:32:00 MST
(not exactly sure about the above logger times...)
* downloaded data logger files (time problems at N Can files, tower
are ok):

-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 1461898 Apr 7 10:16 mrs_040401.dat
* at 11:37 MST resent the program to the soil logger.
* the TC logger looks like it has some serious problems...from what I
could tell the thermocouple MUX was not working properly. the ref
Temperature seemed to be all screwed up. Need to check this again
next week! Modified the program to sample at 5-min (instead of
10-min). New program is TC32X04.DLD (old program is TC32X03.DLD)
* at 11:55 MST the hydra pump started working again.
* at 12:10 MST sent new program to TC logger.
* at 12:33 MST uploaded program to cr10x logger (if power goes out the
program is lost). NOTE: need to bring down the SC32A for brant!!
* checked hydra flow rates. A8 was around 70??....B4 was at around
20. reset all to be 30. Was first running the hydra with sucking,
then sampling....before doing the injection i changed it to be running
with continual sucking, and simultaneous sampling.
* at 13:32 opened the li-7000 box to try and keep the licor cool.
* order of photos of inlets: prof, 12, prof, 1, 2, 17, 18, 9
4, 5, 6, 8, (18 and 9 together), snowTprobe, 17 (note: you can
see the tupperware box!).
* Injections of pure co2 into the snowpack (did 3 today):
note: 200cm port = bev-a-line tubing
128cm port = hard white tubing
92cm port = black dekabon tubing
for injections set vernier valve to 1 @ 20 psi. (this
corresponds to about 1.5 lpm flow rate). note these are
based on my watch time which is about 6 seconds faster
than computer time.
injection1 -- used 92cm injection port
@13:48 MST, started flow of co2
@13:49 MST, stopped flow of co2
injection2 -- used 128cm injection port
@15:24 MST, started flow of co2
@15:25 MST, stopped flow of co2
injection3 -- used 200cm injection port
@17:09 MST, started flow of co2
@17:10 MST, stopped flow of co2
* this time i logged into the quacker and made sure all injections
worked...also, the co2 levels never fully recovered, but there should
be a second peak in the data.
* used Andrews map of the N. Canopy study plot to figure out which
tree Temps are being measured at 2 depths (3 and 6cm depth). The ones
I found are:
spruce1 --- right next to the N Can tower -- circum= 82cm.
note: the thermocouples are on the opposite side of the tree
from eachother.
fir1 -- next to spruce1 -- curcum= 40cm.
could not find the pine tree with the 2 thermocouples...need to follow
the wires from the data logger and/or check these data...
* checked the robots. The west robot had done=1, but i think there
was a possible leak in flask 13 and/or 14. The co2 values seemed off
from the logger. I downloaded the logger data, closed the stopcocks,
but didn't swap since East robot was not done sampling (the suitcase
is at the tower).
* at 16:00 MST, did a snow pit.
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....

Friday, March 26th Visit:
-------------------------
At the site : SpB, TR, RM, AW
Purpose of visit: Try a diffusion experiment with the Hydra (using
pure co2). Finish downloading logger data. Snow pit. Pick out
trees for branch-work.
Weather: Warm and sunny in the morning (light upslope wind). Clouded
up in the afternoon and the wind became downslope/gusty.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove the jeep up. Met Russ at settlers, picked up Andy Watt in
Nederland, met Todd at the trailer.
* Andy Watt is working with Britt at NCAR (e-mail: watt@ucar.edu)
* como creek is starting to gurgle.
---------
* Todd and Russ picked out some trees for the early morning experiment
next week (these trees are just off the main trail right before the
turnoff for the tower).
* @11:36 MST, changed the ozone target. e-mail from Andrew about this:

[stuff deleted..]
One other thing - I don't know when you'll be going to the site next,
but could you change the target on the fast O3 sensor whenever you're
there (if the weather's not too bad). There is a spare target in a
ziploc bag in the fast O3 box at the tower. Just need to turn off the
power (bottom gray box - switches on inside of lid) - then open the top
gray box. Should be another target there and you just pop the old one
out, new one in and close it up. Remember to turn power switches back
on with the top box closed. There's no rush - whenever you have a few
minutes up there. thanks
also,

Subject: RE: data processsing....
Leave the old target in the trailer (last cabinet towards Sun station) -
I'll get it sometime. The only power you really have to turn off when
switching targets is the power to the box with the target in it.
Everything else can keep running - but doesn't hurt to turn off either.
* at 11:50 MST, cleaned the krypton hygrometer lens. note, need to
replace the plastic inlet cover for the licor6262...i think a small
nalgene bottle is what has been used in the past for this...there was
a spare in the trailer, go to chemstores to get some new ones.
* downloaded logger data for the CNR and UC loggers (no time
problems). data files are:
* note: pressure sensor is actually at 12m (not 13m!!). Need to
adjust the data processing for this.
* checked cylinders at the tower, N2 @ 1780 psi, span @ 850psi.
* Injected pure co2 into the snowpack:
note: 200cm port = bev-a-line tubing
128cm port = hard white tubing
92cm port = black dekabon tubing
for injections set vernier valve to 1 @ 20 psi. (this
corresponds to about 1.5 lpm flow rate).
injection1 -- used 92cm injection port
@14:16 MST, heard the pump turn on.
@14:19 MST, pump stopped.
@14:23 MST, started flow of co2 (pump started)
@14:24 MST, stopped flow of co2
* took some photos of the hydra inlets..photo order:
17,18,9,8,4,5,7,snowTprobe,10(prof),12,1,2,snowTprobe.
* at 15:00 MST, did a snow pit.

176: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Fri 02-Apr-2004 12:17:37 MST, site visit on Wednesday, March 17th (SpB)
Wednesday, March 17th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Try a diffusion experiment with the Hydra (using
pure co2). Download logger data. Snow pit.
Weather: Strong, gusty downslope wind. Clouds up at the divide.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove the jeep up.
* borrowed a co2 regulator from Tony to do the co2 injection test
(using the tank of pure co2 at the site). also, borrowed a long piece
of thin channel to setup various injection lines under the snow...
* borrowed 4 DSIMMS from Orrie at UnixOPS to swap out in the russter.
* borrowed a ruler from Andy O. to do the snowpit.
* brought up some tools and a tool wrap to keep tools out at the
tower.
---------
* Early this morning the russter had another shutdown/reboot...ie:

* @11:40MST shutdown data system---swapped out the DSIMMS on the
russter (there were spiders in the computer---see photos). I left two
of the DSIMMS from Orrie in a drawer by the russter...these are in a
anti-static shield and can be used in a pinch. Also, the two i
removed are in a plastic bag along with the two extras...one of these
may be bad (remove the spider carcass and web before using). @12:25
MST data system is back up.
* @~1245 MST, Modified the opto22 program to start sampling only the
4 profile inlets (A8, B1, B2, B3) with a 3-minute suck before the
sampling.
* downloaded logger data (no time problems...still need to get cnr
and uc data...and dump mrs data to the disk on Andys computer). files

* at 15:00 MST replaced the cylinder of N2 at the tower (it
was almost empty). New cylinder of N2 P= 1890 psi.
Span gas P @ 900 psi.
* Injected pure co2 into the snowpack:
note: 200cm port = bev-a-line tubing
128cm port = hard white tubing
92cm port = black dekabon tubing
for injections set vernier valve to 1 @ 20 psi. (this
corresponds to about 1.5 lpm flow rate).
injection1 -- used 200cm injection port
@13:54MST, started flow of co2
@13:55MST, stopped flow of co2
injection2 -- used 92cm injection port
@15:28MST, started flow of co2
@15:29MST, stopped flow of co2
* took photos of all the inlet locations..photo order:
17,18,9,4,5,snowTprobe,7,8,(18and9 together)
* checked flow rates at hydra. B1 was a bit high (ball was at around
40). Adjusted all flows to be at a ball level of 30.
* at 16:15 MST, changed profiler dessicant (there was an extra
one in the box). @16:28 MST, zeroed licor 6251. the offset was
around 0.018 mV. @16:30 MST, li6251 was set back to auto mode.
* at 16:45 MST, did a snow pit.
175: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 15-Mar-2004 16:32:42 MST, site visit on Tuesday, March 9th (SpB, BB, AS, EA, + other ncars)
Tuesday, March 9th Visit:
------------------------
At the site : SpB, BB, AS, EA, + others from NCAR.
Purpose of visit: Try a diffusion experiment with the Hydra (using
pure co2). Be present when Aaron/Eric collect air samples. Snow
pit. Robot flasks.
Weather: Quite warm. About 5-6" of fresh snow since last week. It
was extremely windy last saturday (March 6th).
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove the jeep up. met Brant at settlers park.
* borrowed a co2 regulator from Tony to do the co2 injection test
(using the tank of pure co2 at the site). also, borrowed a long piece
of thin channel to setup various injection lines under the snow...
---------
* @~10am MST, Modified the opto22 program to start sampling only the
4 profile inlets (A8, B1, B2, B3) with a 3-minute suck before the
sampling.
* Brant swapped out the robot flasks.
* hauled the cylinder of pure co2 over to the hydra profile location
and stuck the injection tubing down under the snowpack. There are
4 different lengths of tubing going to different locations along
the 200cm piece of channel...the injection pts are:
90cm 128cm 164cm 200cm
| | | |
===========================================
|
tubing comes up out of the snow at this end.
* the problem seemed to stop operating around the time when ACD
started running their pump...it eventually started working again (i
went to the quacker and restarted the opto22 software)...but need to
be more careful about this next time.
* started co2 injection at 14:13 MST. Injected co2 until 14:16 MST.
set the vernier valve to 1 (1== 1.51 liter/min) and the regulator to
20psi. The co2 tank had a pressure of about 400psi.
* took some photos for Russ...photo order:
12, 10, 1, 2, 17, 18, 9, snowTprobe, 7, 2 (again), 4, ACD setup, 8.

it was really warm in the licor box (~40C). Anyway, i restarted the
opto22 program and it seems to be working again...ie:

I came up to put some new targets in the fast O3 sensor. I logged
into russter and data seemed fine. Went to the tower - put in the new
targets and came back. russter had logged me out (don't know the
reason) and the data had stopped. I tried logging into quacker (its
alive and powere is on out at tower) and doing the ./stop_adam and
./start_adam thing, but the data did not start up. Don't know what
happened, or if I did something, but you'd better check it out. Since
it seems like power is OK and quacker is alive - I"m guessing that you
can deal with it over the network. I have to leave here in just a few
minutes.

171: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 15-Mar-2004 16:25:24 MST, site visit on Monday, Mar 1st (SpB, AS, EA, etc)
Monday, March 1st Visit:
------------------------
At the site : SpB, AS, EA, + others from NCAR.
Purpose of visit: See what Aaron and Eric are doing at the site...show
them power at the Hydra. Try a diffusion experiment with the Hydra.
Weather: There were a few gusts of wind, but it was not a bad day to
be at the site. Partly cloudy. A little bit of snow on the ground
since last week...most of this seemed to be very fine...like it had
settled out from blowing snow.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove the jeep up. met Aaron and Eric at MRS. They had a little
problem with the wind blowing down some of the Aluminum sheets at C1.
* brought up a cylinder of N2. Steve drove the snowcat up to c1 and
transported two N2 cylinders up to the trailer for me (one from last
week). I dragged one out to the tower.
* Andy O. mentioned that we should do a snow pit sometime in the early
part of next week since some visitors will be making snow depth
measurements from MRS up to Niwot Ridge...(i think?).
---------
* @11:22MST, Modified the opto22 program to start sampling only the
upper 3 profile inlets (B1, B2, B3) with a 3-minute suck before
sampling (B6 was sucked with the air pump running). Total of a
6-minute cycle. Programs modified on the quacker were:
[cuff@quacker ~]$ ls -lag /usr/local/cuff/aster/projects/NIWOT/src/opto22 | grep Feb

-rw-rw-r-- 1 cuff cuff 5285 Feb 26 12:58 cmds.c~
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cuff cuff 287 Feb 26 13:15 profquick.c~
* went with Aaron out to the hydra...they setup inlets to the South of
the hydra.
* the propane tank from Tony (w/ co2 at ~2500ppm) had a pressure of
10psi when i arrived at the site. I disconnected the lowest inlet at
the profile site (s10, A8) and tried to blow into it (at 12:55
MST)...it was very difficult to blow air into this inlet...after this
I attached the A8 tubing to the propane tank (at 1:03 MST)...i opened
up the valves...it seemed to pressurize the lines but I don't think
too much co2 was going from the tank into the inlet (not high enough
pressure).
* didn't have time to do a snow pit since i wanted to get back down
to CU for Todds practice talk.

* changed program on quacker on Feb 23
* at the hydra site used a long thin metal rod to blow co2 down to the
bottom of the snowpack...tried a balloon, but that didn't give enough
force (was blowing through a magnesium perchlorate trap). This happened
at 14:53 MST (note, at 14:57 MST the pump was running).
* at about 17:00 MST switched back to old program.
* downloaded logger data from N. Canopy loggers (note: there are also
snowprobe data which I need to download at MRS)...files are:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 2262544 Feb 26 11:30 mrs_040220.dat
* at 15:38 MST, Zeroed the li6251. Changed out the indicator
dessicant, but not the internal trap. Left a new trap in the li6251
box...might need to swap it out next time at the tower (note: with the
hight flow rate these might need to be swapped out more often).
* Dug a snow pit.

* downloaded the CNR logger data:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 655632 Feb 13 13:38 cnr2_13.dat*
* @14:30MST, Installed the borrowed KZ pyranameter at the top level of
the tower. Modified the logger program (now called CNR30b.csi??) to
use the coefficients of the new radiometer (include details here):
Kipp&Zonen CM21 Pyranometer: SN 940185
Cal on 7/24/97: 12.46 muV/Wm-2 (80.2568 Wm-2/mV)
Cal on 4/19/02: 12.41 muV/Wm-2 (80.5802 Wm-2/mV)
* Brant did a snow pit.
* took photos of the snow depth flags at each hydra inlet location.
Photo Order: 10, 12, 1, 2, 17, 18, 9, 2 (different angle), 7 4.
* Reset the robots.

165: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 03-Mar-2004 14:47:13 MST, site visit on Friday, February 6th (SpB)
Friday, February 6th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Finish downloading logger data. Check the
robots. Snow pit.
Weather: Rather windy and cold. About a foot of fresh snow. Used
snow shoes for the first time to get out to the tower and robots.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove the Jeep up.
* Had to dig a bit of snow to get in the trailer door.
---------
* @13:00-13:30MST, brought the co2/zeroair regulator from the trailer
out to the tower to use with the hydra (started using the 750ppm cal
cylinder). The hydra now has zero air in the reference cell and the 3
cal tanks are, 400, 550, and 750ppm.
* checked the east/west robots. the east showed a large co2_range
(over 125 ppm) while the west was down around 5ppm?? E-mailed Andy
about this...
* Downloaded logger data (too windy to get the logger at the top of
the tower):

* did a snow pit (tweaked my back shoveling...ouch!).
164: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 03-Mar-2004 14:45:13 MST, site visit on Friday, January 30th (SpB, AT)
Friday, January 30th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site : SpB, AT
Purpose of visit: Replace the (small) pump on the licor6251 system.
Download logger data. Snow pit.
Weather: Higher winds aloft (mostly downslope). There were clouds,
with periodic sunbreaks. Just a dusting of fresh snow.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Met Andrew at settlers and drove the Jeep up.
* Brought up one cylinder of N2 (Duane transported it to C1).
* Brought Jieluns licor7000 back to NCAR. Brought up everything
I need to put up the K&Z Pyranometer.
---------
* Set up the K&Z Pyranomter in the trailer...the wires are:
Pin Number In Logger
Color (AMP Connector)
Red -- 1 --- H
Green -- 2 --- L
White -- 3 --- Grnd
Black -- 4 --- Grnd
* Set up the new pump for the profile system in a box external to the
old pump. Andrew hooked this up and the unrestricted flow with the
new pump was around 55 (rotometer ball).
* the N2 at the hydra was empty (not a big surprise)...put on a new
cylinder, but this also seemed to leak. Need to get rid of this
regulator...
* downloaded the logger data from the loggers out by the hydra (no
time problems):

Friday, January 23rd Visit:
----------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Check on the licor6251 (not zeroing correctly).
snow pit. Cal co2 cylinders in trailer.
Weather: Variable wind. Sometimes a gust would blow, but mostly a
calm, overcast day. The sun would break through periodically.
Nice sunset. It has been warm and not too windy the past 2 weeks
(supposed to change this weekend...).
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove the Jeep up. Brought back up the gateway laptop (need
to get the translator box for it).
---------
* Checked east/west robots (valve=16, pressures were fine). Formula
for when to collect:
The number 28 is the interval between sampling and the number 7 is the
"fudge day" that allows users to adjust the day of the week that they
are going to be at the site. The calculation goes like this:
First Robot Sample Day = (Day - Fudge Day)/Interval
(if this division yields a whole number, its time to sample)
for your current setup, then
whole number = (35 - 7)/28
Also, you can use the same Table 4 (*4) to change the standard tank
value. These keystrokes will do this for you:
*0, *4, A, A, A, (new tank value), A, *0
* at 12:00 MST did a zero with li6251. It took about 45 seconds
to get down to ~0.2 V. (this is not fast enough!!).
the rotometer showed the ball at a level of about 6-7. Connected the
licor sample inlet line to the sample outlet line and then bypassed
the filters (both dessicant trap and Nupro filter). In this setup
(with flow valve wide open) the rotometer went up to about 22.
at 12:40 MST, tried hooking up through steel (reserve) dessicant trap.
With this setup the flow still seemed a bit low on the rotometer
(~7-8), but, when zeroed, the co2 level went to zero V in about 30
seconds (this is a reasonable time).
tried using the spare dessicant trap and the time to zero was still
quite slow....after some disscussion with andrew my conclusion was
that the pump needs to be replaced.
* 16:25MST. had problems with the N2 (ref gas) at the Hydra leaking.
Could not get the regulator to hold a constant pressure!! Tried using
2 different regulators...
162: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 27-Jan-2004 10:52:15 MST, site visit on Thursday, January 15th (SpB, RM, BB)
Thursday, January 15th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site : SpB, BB, RM
Purpose of visit: Set up the robots with new cylinders of
span gas. Reset robot program. Snow pit. Finish downloading
logger data.
Weather: Calm and warm.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Met at settlers and brant drove the subaru up.
* brought the gateway laptop down to CU for brant to use with
the cr21x/photodiodes.
---------
* Brought a cylinder of co2 to the east robot (the west one already
had a cylinder there).
* Brought out the 750ppm span gas and N2 for the Hydra to use. Hooked
up the N2 to use as ref for the hydra, started using the zero air as
one of the hydra cal gases (need to look at some of these data!).
* at 10:45 MST fixed loose wire no the MET logger...the ground wire
was broken where it went into the terminal. Putting it back seemed to
clear up the data dropout problems...but about 3 days later the
dropouts are back (worse than ever). Need to check this wire again.
* Downloaded the logger data from nctc, uc, and the 3 loggers by the
hydra (no time problems). the files are:

160: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 27-Jan-2004 10:48:47 MST, site visit on Tuesday, January 13th (SpB)
Tuesday, January 13th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Replace filters on the licor6262 system, clean the
krypton hygrometer, work on cylinder cals.
Weather: Light downslope wind (winds were more from the south than
usual). Sometimes perfectly calm...then a short burst of wind. Very
blue skies. Temp above freezing. Good day to work at the site.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove the jeep up.
* Tons of rabbit tracks around the creek.
* Borrowed Jieluns li7000.
---------
* Dragged a cylinder of N2 out to the tower (will need
to replace N2 at the base of the tower later this
week...right now the cylinder is at the base of the tower).
* recorded cylinder pressures (only at main tower).
* at ~10:30 MST disconnected the li6262 to replace the
three 2 micron-size Nupro filters.
* at ~11:20 mst cleaned the lenses of the krypton hygrometer
and replaced the NUPRO filter at the inlet.
* at ~12:05 MST, replaced filters at the licor6262 box. Note
there is one inside the box and one at the outlet of the box
(the one outside the box connects to the pump...this is to protect
the system if the pump starts running backwards (sometimes this happens
when the pump is powered off)). Did a blow test in the back of the
licor to check for any leaks. Also, connected the inlet (sample) and
outlet (sample) lines together and ran for a little while to flush out
any dust/particles from changing the filter...then reconnected
the lines to the li6262.
* downloaded logger data from the loggers on the tower (no time
problems):

* measured the tubing sizes: boom for KZ sensor: 2" Diameter
tower struts (large)= 2" DIA.; tower struts (small)= 1" DIA.
* back at the trailer:
* searched the gateway laptop for old code..used to collect the
photodiode data...what i found (in laura's work folder) is:

159: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 12-Jan-2004 09:57:15 MST, site visit on Thursday, January 8th (SpB, BB)
Thursday, January 8th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site : SpB, BB
Purpose of visit: Replace filters on the licor6262 system, check
robots, dig a snow pit.
Weather: Strong downslope wind. Snow was blowing off the divide.
Sometimes the snow would fall down through the trees...but a lot
was being blown down below us (you could look up and see it blowing
by).
---------
Misc Notes:
* Brant drove his subaru wagon and we brought 4 cylinders with us (2
N2 and 2 co2 400ppm). Also bought a new deep cyle battery and brought
up a robot suitcase. We gave all this stuff to Duane who hauled it up
in the snowcat.
* saw a pine grosbeak (might have been a red crossbill?) just past como
creek.
---------
* it was a bit too windy to go up the tower and change out the
licor6262 inlet filter. I will do this the next chance i get when
it's not blowing so hard.
* checked the cylinder pressures (see table). N2 at the tower will
need to be changed in the next 2 weeks.
* checked the east and west robots...both had done=0. the ranges were
pretty small (east=~11ppm, west~3ppm) so we downloaded the logger data
and then reset the loggers (without swapping flasks). both cylinders
at the robots need to be replaced.
* brought the cr21x back down to the lab for brant to use (for the
photodiode experiment).
* Tried to figure out what was wrong with the licor6251 in the lab
(made sure some of fittings were tight). it seemed to work a bit
better, but still giving variable results depending on some of the
valve locations.
* Brant did a snowpit.

(still need to download the mrs data from the PC card).
* at ~14:00 MST removed bowlings csat sonic. Sonic Orientation: it
was pointed toward about 238 deg from magnetic North. the level was
just below the crossbar for where the licor 6262 is located (see
photos).
* Checked that the hydra was operating properly. All flow rates
looked ok. Cylinder pressures ok.
* at ~15:30 MST did a snow pit.
* went to the east robot and confirmed that the lower inlet was above
the snow...it was at least 1 foot above the snow (see photo). Didn't
have time to check the west robot.
* between 16:30-16:50 MST changed the dessicant trap for the li6251
(profiler). Checked the zero on the profiler....it seemed ok..note
that it took several minutes for the li6251 to react (might need to
make sure it is reaching zero during cals). Also, the flow was still
a bit low (around 5 on the flow meter). The small pump might be
dying...

* Checked that the hydra was operating properly. It seems like a
snowshoe hare has made a home around the hydra box. Air from the
undersnow inlets was being pulled by the pumps at a rate of 1.4
liters/min (steel balls are at level of 30).
* checked cylinder pressures.
* dug a snow pit.

Notes:
01/23---i tried to fix the leak in the ref (N2) at the hydra. I could
not get it to stop leaking (doing the leak test). I tried 2 different
regulators and both leaked. Wasn't sure how to deal with this...could
it be a bad seal between the cylinder and the regulator?
149: hydra, Site none, Fri 12-Dec-2003 14:20:24 MST, How to do a snow pit
Snow Pit Technique:
------------------
fill in "snow cover profile" form. (forms and pit kit are in
the CU trailer).
1. Dig Pit
2. Boot Penetration (measure depth of boot impression).
3. Measure snow pit depth
4. Do air temperature (compare probes)
5. Tare scale with the 1 liter snow wedge (~740 g)
6. Do layer temps at 5 cm increments (in middle of 10-cm layers)
7. Do density measurements in 10cm segments (ie, 0-10, 10-20, etc).
8. test for layers
9. look at snow grains from layers.

146: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Fri 12-Dec-2003 14:04:59 MST, site visit on Friday, Dec 5th (SpB, BB,RM)
Friday, December 5th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site : SpB, RM, BB
Purpose of visit: Dig a snow pit with Andy O. Get the hydra
working again.
Weather: Warm, calm and sunny. A weak upslope wind. A perfect winter
day to work at the site.
---------
Misc Notes:
* at 7:30am met at settlers park. Brant drove up to MRS.
---------
* Met Andy O. and did the snow pit:
* Russ was making snow depth measurements.
* Brant and I took the K&Z CNR1 sensor down off the tower (at
around 10:30am). This is to be returned to Peter Blanken.
* started using the uhp zero-air as the ref gas for the hydra.
* Restarted the hydra in the morning (after it being off for
about 3 days). Checked the flows for c1/c3.

Thursday, December 4th Visit:
----------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Download the logger data. Calibrate co2
cylinders.
Weather: Warm and sunny. Temps in the upper 40s. A weak upslope
wind. Right at the edge of cold air down along the front range.
Occasional fog blowing by the tower.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove the jeep up. (had a cold so got a bit of a late
start).
---------
* at 13:40 MST swapped out the N2 and co2 span gas at the base
of the tower. co2 cylinder is #CC66062.
* Downloaded all the logger data (no time problems). The lack of
time problems at the N Canopy tower indicates that the new deep-cycle
battery is working ok. The logger files are:

144: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Sun 23-Nov-2003 22:19:27 MST, site visit on Sunday, Nov 23rd (SpB)
Sunday, November 23rd Visit:
----------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Reboot the quacker.
Weather: Extremely cold and windy. It was probably around -10C.
Temps were off scale on the C1 webpage. Gusty winds off the divide.
Blowing snow.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove the jeep up.
---------
* The quacker went down Saturday afternoon. There were messages in
the log which looked like:

and eventually the adam software shutdown. Tried to reboot from home
which worked ok, but the same problems came up. Switched to new
kernel and tried a reboot from home. quacker never came back up.
Tried using both the old kernel (2.4.18-5) and the new one (2.4.22).
Here are the messages when it died:

Since the usb connection to the first edgeport seemed ok, but not to
the 2nd was not working I tried replacing the usb cable to the 2nd
edgeport (I borrowed the cable from the usb zip drive). This fixed
the problem. Btw, here is what lsmod looks like when everything is
working ok:

143: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Sun 23-Nov-2003 22:18:01 MST, site visit on Friday, Nov 21st (SpB, BB)
Friday, November 21st Visit:
----------------------------
At the site : SpB, BB
Purpose of visit: Finish downloading logger data. Check the battery
at the N Canopy tower.
Weather: Relatively warm with some sun breaks. Lots of snow had
melted since Wednesday. Not too windy, but occasional gusts. Dark
clouds up near the divide and there were low-lying clouds out over the
plains.
---------
Misc Notes:
* In the morning brought an empty co2 cylinder from CU over to ncar
and filled it from tonys tank. (should be co2 concentration of about
250ppm if Tonys documentation is correct). Filled to about 1000psi.
This cylinder can be used as the ref gas for the hydra.
* met Brant at settlers and drove the jeep up. Parked at sourdough
and hauled a cylinder of co2 up to the trailer from there.
---------
* Brant was counting new growth branch tips.
* at 13:00 MST, modified the opto22 code to sample more evenly on the
1/2 hr. every 4 hours there would be a cal and 20min sample period.
* at 13:40 MST, checked the met logger (it had been losing a lot of
data recently). Using *B at the keypad, it showed 24 low voltage
counts. (This didn't seem like too many). Checked connections.
Didn't do much else, but since then it's been running strong at 1hz.
* finished downloading the logger data. the files are:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 100533 Nov 21 14:01 las11_21.dat*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 79758 Nov 21 13:35 met11_21.dat*

-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 33115 Nov 21 14:19 tc11_21.dat*
* checked the battery at the N Canopy tower. It was showing a low
voltage. Even more so when the a/c power was disconnected. Used the
spare deep-cycle battery in the trailer (the last one we had) to
replace this battery. Note that this battery was connected part of
the time when the extention cords out to the N can tower were
underwater in the small red cooler (discovered this sometime in
September). This might be the reason the battery terminals showed a
lot of corrosion...and the plug for the battery charger had a bunch of
black crud on it (we cleaned this off).

Wednesday, November 19th Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site : SpB, LSD, BB
Purpose of visit: Download logger data. Try a few more things
to get the quacker running ok.
Weather: A bit windy, but not a bad day to go up to the site.
---------
Misc Notes:
* met Laura/Brant at settlers and carpooled in Brants car. walked
the powerline.
* Met Andy O. and Mark Williams to show them the Hydra.
* Drove back with Brad Hall from NOAA.
---------
* Downloaded the logger data (didn't get all of it since I didn't
have time). Data downloaded:

* There were time problems with the data from the N Canopy
tower. . .also there were gaps in the data. Probably a flakey battery
(side note: replaced the battery on 11/21).

* Brant/Laura were collecting soil samples.
* Gordon was trying many things on the quacker. There is a problem
when trying to do "stop_adam". The quacker locks up. I tried this
while at the tower and both times I needed to do a hard-reboot (not
a good thing to do). However, it seems to start up ok, and run fine.
(will try the "stop_adam" sometime later...Gordon and me will both
be out of town next week).
141: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Sun 23-Nov-2003 22:14:06 MST, site visit on Monday, Nov 17th (SpB, BB)
Monday, November 17th Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site : SpB, BB
Purpose of visit: Meet Andy O. at MRS for an example digging a
snow pit. Try and tarp the hydra a bit better. Restart the
quacker.
Weather: Blustery day with a few calm periods. Snowed pretty
much all day (around 5-6" of fresh snow). Snow was only up in
the mountains with only a brief squall-line in Boulder.
---------
Misc Notes:
* met Brant at settlers and carpooled in the jeep. walked
the powerline.
* did a 180 spin-out on the drive back down...just before reaching
nederland. No damage. It was a slick road.
* the data system was down all weekend due to a lockup of the quacker.
---------
* checked the robot flasks. they both had a co2_range of -9999.
(Andy S. said this was ok).
* met Andy O. at MRS at about 8am for the snow-pit digging. We picked
out a spot just off the trail a bit East of the hydra inlet locations
for snow pits. As the season goes on we will progressively work our
way back toward the trail. A outline of snow-pit sampling here:
* Brant and I tried to put a better tarp/protection on the N Canopy
tower for the hydra...we will see how it holds up in the wind from
oct 18.
* moved 2 cylinders from the trailer out to the tower. One is a
500ppm cylinder which is now running as cal1 in the hydra. The other
one is a 400ppm cylinder and it's stored near the base of main tower.
* MAJOR problem when a security patch was installed on the russter.
After installing the patch, the russter experienced a kernel panic
when running the aster software. Had to call down to Jesse at CU to
get the russter back on-line (with a single-user mode login). This
should provide some incentive to replace the Sun russter with the ibm
laptop running linux.
* some recommendations on rebooting the quacker from Gordon:
If you can't get its attention then try bringing up a virtual console,
and if that doesn't work, use the SysRq trick, below. Power off is a
last resort.
1. If X is running, try to go to a virtual console window by
entering ctrl-alt-F1 (all held down at once).
(i think if not in X, then just alt-F1)
2. If that doesn't work, then enter these SysRq commands
in slow sequence.
Alt-SysRq s
Alt-SysRq u
Alt-SysRq b
While holding down Alt, press SysRq. Then release both and hit "s".
"Alt-SysRq s" syncs data to the disks, "Alt-SysRq u" does a disk
unmount and ... b reboots.
140: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Sun 23-Nov-2003 22:11:53 MST, site visit on Thursday, Nov 13th (SpB)
Thursday, November 13th Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Get cylinders from airgas and bring up to the site.
Bring down empty cylinders from the site.
Weather: Very calm at the site when i arrived (around noon). Partly
cloudy with some sun breaks. Around sunset the wind started blowing
and it was snowing lightly.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Borrowed a truck from ATD to get to the site. (it took about an
hour, six tries, and a bit of digging to get up the steep part of the
road..but i finally did it). The alternative was to haul cylinders
(including 2 big steel ones) up and down the road. I don't think the
road will be open for much longer.
---------
* swapped both robot flasks. changed to a 28-day cycle. Will need
to keep an eye on the co2 pressure at both robots.
* finished bringing out the 400ppm cylinder (it was halfway along the
trail) and hooked it up as cal3 for the hydra/LiCor 7000. (removed
the tee for the N2...now N2 is going directly into the ref cell only).
* calibrated a 400 and 500ppm cylinder in the trailer. Can bring the
500ppm cylinder out to the site next week. Here are the results of
the calibration:

Wednesday, November 12th Visit:
-------------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Calibrate some cylinders of co2, check plumbing
of the span gas at the tower.
Weather: Very calm at the site. Didn't arrive until late afternoon.
It was overcast.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove the jeep up.
---------
* calibrated one cylinder in the trailer (it's 1/2 along the trail
out to the tower). Here are the results of the calibration:
* at ~4:30 MST. stopped sampling cal1 since this will just waste the
N2 at the hydra (modified the chemcontrol program to do this).
* bypassed the valve for the co2 span gas which runs from the tower to
the hydra.

-------------------------------
At the site : AT
Purpose of visit: Put in a new ozone target.
Weather: It was very windy down in Boulder.
---------
* Andrew noted that I should check the cylinders at the tower (note: I
checked these and I think the rate of gas usage slowed down to
reasonable rates).
* Andrew put in a new ozone target.
* Here's details from his e-mail:
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2003 16:22:35 MST
To: Sean Burns
From: turnipseed andrew a
Subject: Re: fast.o3...
Sean
that's a good thing. actually i'm up here right now and put a new
target in the fast o3 sensor. had a slow afternoon and did want to
get a few o3 fluxes in wintertime.
few other things to note. I put a more solid connector on the heat
flux plates that were eaten by the rabbits. I ddin't take the laptop
out - so I didn't chekc to see if they were still working after i
reconnected them. they are heat flux plates #1 and #9. If #9 isn't
working -its not a big deal to work on as the connection is hanging in
a small tree. #1 is more of a problem as the main cut was only about
1 ft. from where the sensor entered the ground. As a result - the
snow around that site (furthest to the north and east) haas been
disturbed today (2:30-3:30). I backfilled in where I had dug out
afterwards, but is still noticable. However, after another snow and
you'll never know the difference. As for the 2x plot that Russ
shoveled snow on - you would never know it, so I would leave it alone.
On gases. You might need to do some leak checks on the cal.standard
at the tower. I don't know if the Hydra is using any of that.
ANyway, its down to 600 psi - wasn't it above 1200 last week. at that
rate, you'll be moving lots of cylinders this winter. Also noticed
that the N2 out at the Hydra was also down at about 600 psi. Not sure
of its history, but seems like it could be getting low fairly quickly
too. Is the N2 being used for the reference gas right now ?? (I know
Tony usually uses a CO2 std., but don't have yet). Anyway, whatever
gas you have going through the reference, you should just have a very
small flow (~ 30-40 cm3/min). Otherwise you run out of gas very
quickly. A flow of 30-40 cm3/min from one of those tanks should last
around 4 months. But throw in a small leak or a flow of 100 cm3/min
and you're down to just a few weeks (3-4). I've learned this lesson
many times in the past. Anyway - you might think about checking some
flow rates and doing some leak checks on things. I've usually used
Snoop to look for gas leaks (its soap bubbles). For flow rates - we
have a soap-bubble meter in cabinet closest to the russter. You need
to fill up the rubber bulb (+ a little extra) with Snoop or some other
soap solution. Put a flow in the bottom and squeeze the bulb to get a
soap bubble to form. You have to wet the sides of the glass piece
before a bubble will go all the way up to where the sensor is. But
when they go all the way up - there's a LED readout of the flow.

Friday, November 7th Visit:
------------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Check robots. Flow test for Hydra.
Weather: Very calm at the site. Didn't arrive until late afternoon.
There were some clouds and just a touch of snow falling.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove the jeep up from NCAR (floss meeting in the morning).
---------
@15:15 MST - Ran cal1 (N2) through both licor 7000 cells.
@15:17 MST - Ran cal2 (345.3 ppm) span gas through the licor
and at 15:22 reset the span on the Li7000.
@15:29 MST - Ran the snow pump (ASP1) no sampling.
Set the flow of the snow pump inlets at 30 (1.435 lpm).
@15:35 MST - Running N2 through both cells for 30 sec.
Tested the travel time of the air from inlet#12 (A9):
command_opto 3100 60 % sample s12 with ASP1 pump OFF
command_opto 7100 60 % sample s12 with ASP1 pump ON
went and filled the s12 tupperware box with co2 from my breath (during
this time cal1 was running through the licor7000).
@15:41 MST -- Started flow test...ran it for 2 minutes...which turned
out to be barely enough time. So, reissued the command at the end of
2 minutes.
@15:45, finished the test---flushed licor 7000 with cal1 (N2).
* robots -- both had done=2.
West Robot - CO2 Range= 14.7
East Robot - CO2 Range= 23.165
didn't swap any flasks. reset the program.
135: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 10-Nov-2003 14:51:22 MST, site visit on Tuesday, November 4th (SpB, RM, LSD, BB)
Tuesday, November 4th Visit:
------------------------------
At the site : SpB, RM, LSD, BB.
Purpose of visit: Work on Hydra. Download logger data.
Weather: First significant snow of the year. It was cold, but sunny.
Gusty winds off the divide. About 7" of fresh snow. Could see big
bursts of snow moving up out of the trees and down the mountain.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove the jeep up. Met Russ/Laura/Brant at the site.
---------
* Tried to power cycle the li7000 to fix the no response problem.
This did not help. The pump for the nafion dryer was not working when
i arrived.
* Downloaded all logger data. (No time problems). Files are:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 305085 Nov 4 12:04 cnr11_4.dat*

-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 324750 Nov 4 16:28 soil11_4.dat*
* Back to the Hydra. When I ran N2 into both licor cells (through the
hydra plumbing system) there was not much change in the cellB values.
After increasing the flow rates I could put my finger over the ref
outlet and the flow meter ball would bounce up and down...this DID not
happen with the sample cell. Also, the outlet flow for the sample
cell felt quite weak. This indicates a leak between the flow meter
and the sample inlet. The only thing between these 2 is the nafion
dryer.
* Since the nafion dryer pump was not working, and there seeemed to be
a leak, i bypassed the nafion drier (to do this it was necessary to
pull out the licor and take off the back metal panel). It seemed like
the small elbow connector from the flow meter might have not been very
tight. I tightened this an extra 1/2 turn (it was now pointing in the
wrong direction to connect to the nafion drier).
* After bypassing the nafion drier the licor7000 gave reasonable
changes as different inlets were sampled. Rezeroed the licor (i think
it was reading around -180ppm before zeroing).
* tried to do a flow lag test (at site12), but this didn't work (note:
this is because we needed to have Distrib=1 for s12, but we had been
using D=0 for A1-9).
* Brant checked the East Robot and done=0. (need to tell him to look
at the minimum range value).
* Russ was piling snow on the 2x sites.
134: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 10-Nov-2003 14:44:38 MST, site visit on Saturday, Nov 1 (SpB)
Saturday, November 1st Visit:
------------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Finish setting up the Hydra. Take photos
of the inlets. Calibrate some co2 cylinders.
Weather: For November, it was a beautiful warm and sunny day.
Still no snow on the ground at the site, but there is snow in
the forecast.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove the jeep up.
* Tony Delanys phone number at NCAR: 303.497-8776
---------
* Had a data system 4:20am shutdown in the morning. Restarted the
data system from home, but when I arrived at the trailer the network
to CU was down. (Never figured out what happened, but Orrie e-mailed
me Monday morning when the network came back up).
* Since the data system was down I couldn't calibrate the co2
cylinders in the trailer (needed to run the programs on Splus on
urquell). Found that the span gas at the tower was completely empty,
so I used the Scott-Marin cylinder to replace the empty cylinder at
the tower. The was done at around 15:40 MST, span gas= 345.4 ppm,
pressure= 1400 psi.
* Flow rates for Hydra inlets:
50= 2563 ml/min
20= 932 ml/min
* made some measurements of the hydra inlet locations:
all ground inlets are at about 6cm.
3 (air) at 260 cm
6 (air) at 142 cm
11 (air) at 243 cm
13 (pro) at 17cm
14 (pro) at 57cm
15 (pro) at 142cm
16 (pro/air) at 166cm
* tried running several different hydra commands with
"command_opto". This didn't seem to do much....ie,
15:00-15:10 MST. Running N2 into both cells with the tee. Waiting
for Li7000 to stabilize.
~15:30 MST. Do zero match with Li7000. both flows set to 20 (932
ml/min).
@15:51 MST. Running span gas through B. Why only at around 36ppm
(should be around 345 ppm). It's slowly drifting...at 15:57 it's at
70.6 ppm.
@16:20 MST. Reset li7000 coefficients to factory settings. This
seemed to help. (in actuality the li7000 was slowly drifting
throughout the night...it never came to a stable value and never
showed changes with different valve changes). By looking at the data
later, it appears that the hydra stopped working sometime after the
4:20am data system shutdown and the when the data system was
restarted...at around 8am (by me). this could have been when the
nafion drier pump died...or some other reason why it stopped working??
133: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 10-Nov-2003 14:41:45 MST, site visit on Wednesday, October 29th (SpB, AT)
Wednesday, October 29th Visit:
------------------------------
At the site : SpB, AT
Purpose of visit: Work on setting up the hydra. Bring up the
fixed MUX to install thermocouples at the snow locations.
Weather: Extremely windy. Cool, probably in the 40s. Some clouds
built up in the aternoon. Otherwise, sunny. Overland fire was
burning in left-hand canyon.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Met Andrew at CU and took his truck up to the site.
* probably Andrews last visit to the site (as a CU employee).
---------
* Setup the li6251 to do tank cals in the trailer.
* connected all the "snow" inlet lines to the hydra.

* Andrew worked on setting up the thermocouples near the hydra inlets..notes:
1) Downloaded soil data logger - ~ 12:30
When logged in logger had the wrong time
Correct time : 10/29/03, 13:12
Logger time : 10/13/03, 15:04 (reset clock)
During downloading looked like only the last 2 or 3 intervals were screwed up.
2) put in new program into soil logger : soilsnow.csi
same program except no IR-thermometer and added the temperature multiplexer.
Outputs are : time tag, heat flux plates 1-10, soil thermometers (RTDs) 1-5, TDR
delay times 1-9, TDR soil moisture 1-8, logger temp., multiplexer reference
temp., TcA, TcB, TcC, Tc 1-15.
Outputs are the same until thermocouple temperatures. TcA,TcB and TcC
are connected directly to logger (use logger temp as reference), Tc
1-15 are on the multiplexer however, only 13 Tcs hooked up. Nothing
connected presently to 14 or 15 on the mux.
3) Downloaded Tc23x logger: ~ 3:30
Again had the wrong time
Correct time : 10/29/03 15:29
Logger time : 4/6/06 15:26 (reset clock)
Again looked like data was fine until about noon on 10/29
4) put new program into Tc23x logger : Tc23x03.csi
Changes: - commented out muxs 2 and 3 (no longer there currently)
- added the IR-thermometer
should now be outputting : time tag, Ref temp of Mux 1, Tcs 1-25 (on Mux 1), IR-thermometer.
5) Note on Tc23x logger: looked at program before changing. It was outputting :
time tag, Ref temp mux 1, Tcs 1-25 (mux 1), Ref. temp of mux 2, Tcs 26-50
(mux 2), Ref. temp. of mux 3, Tcs 51-75 (mux 3), Logger temp., Tref3 (not
sure?? could be the same as the Ref. temp of mux 3).
Wiring added to soil logger (for AM23T mux)

Saturday, October 25th Visit:
------------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Work on setting up the hydra.
Weather: Colder than it has been recently. Some gusty winds blowing
down off the divide. Patches of snow on the ground. Most snow melted
while I was there.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove Jeep. Walked power line.
---------
* Wanted to figure out why the hydra values were so high.
* Ran N2 through a tee into both the ref and sample cells. This still
resulted in large offsets for the sample cell (cell B).
130: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 28-Oct-2003 12:09:13 MST, site visit on Thursday, October 23rd (SpB)
Thursday, October 23rd Visit:
------------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Work on setting up the hydra. Swap
robot flasks.
Weather: A nice afternoon. Some high clouds (cold front
supposed to be moving in on Friday).
---------
Misc Notes:
* Went up in the afternoon from NCAR (drove jeep).
---------
* attached a valve to the CU cal tank which runs dekabon tubing out to
the hydra (kept valve turned off for now).
* brought a tank of N2 out to the hydra (from the trailer) to start
running N2 in the ref cell. (Values of co2 were quite large
(~1000ppm) when using N2 in the ref cell).
* setup the small pump for the nafion dryer, extension outlet, etc for
the hydra. All the power to the hydra goes from this single power
outlet (under a blue box at lowest level of the N. Canopy tower.
* tried to swap flasks at the robot towers but wound up resetting both
towers (west one was by accident). The West robot tower had done=2
(with a max diff of about 23ppm) and the east tower had done=1 (diff
of about 43 ppm).

---------------------------
At the site : SpB, AT, RM, AS, JS, TD, DL, KK, NP
Purpose of visit: Service Laser. Help Andy S. from Utah swap out
the East robot. Talk with Andy/Russ about hydra setup.
Weather: Sunny early on and then overcast.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Met Andy S. at settlers. Russ, Andy and NCAR drove up
separately.
* the NCAR group came out to research potential tower sites.
---------
* Carried the replacement east robot out to the east robot tower
with Andy S.
* Downloaded laser data and filled dewar with LN2. Both 10-l dewars
are now in the lab and will need to be refilled on next visit. The
laser crashed twice before restarting.
* Collected logger data from the soil logger. We started to pull
out all the sensors from the soil logger (this includes a MUX which
had the soil flux sensors and temperature sensors (PRTs)). This
logger was left unpowered in the field.
* Russ was working on the inlets for the Hydra (3 above snow, 4 levels
in snow, and 11 on ground level, I think?). Need to make a sketch
of the layout.
* Andrew changed the ozone target.

Tuesday, September 30th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site : SpB, BB
Purpose of visit: Service the laser. Do GPS measurements.
Weather: Bright and Sunny. Upslope winds most of the day. Foggy
and cooler down in the plains.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove my Jeep up to the site. Met Brant at settlers park.
* filled a 10-l dewar with LN2 at chem stores (c76 in chem building).
---------
* Serviced the laser.
* Measured the thermocouple hts from the ground. We used a tape
measure. The heights we measured are as follows:

118: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 29-Sep-2003 11:37:03 MDT, site visit on Friday, Sept 26th (spB)
Friday, September 26th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Swap out the flasks at the West Robot. Service the
laser. Do GPS measurements.
Weather: Bright and Sunny. Gusty winds.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove my Jeep up to the site. The fall colors are peaking
out...leaves in the aspens around como creek have mostly all fallen to
the ground. Lower elevations are still quite colorful.
* Duane and another NOAA person were there doing stuff in the NOAA
trailer.
* Returned the trimble GPS to Todd Ackerman at instaar (he's in room
231 of the instaar building (ie, the tall one). ph 303.492.4771).
---------
* the 160-l dewar at MRS is EMPTY. There was nothing left in there
when i went to fill the 10-l dewar. . .note: the guage showed that
there should still be some left. Need to start bringing up LN2 from
CU.
* Took Trimble GPS measurements of the road, trails, N canopy tower,
and the East and West robots. (Todd emailed Laura in the morning
requesting we return the GPS ASAP). The reason the GPS was not
working earlier was the 2 internal 9V batteries.
* At around 11 MST swapped flasks at the West Robot. Downloaded data
at the East robot and reset the logger but did not swap flasks. (the
suitcase is in the trailer since i couldn't carry everything down).
* At about 12:00 MST filled the laser dewar with the LN2 in the tent
(which is now all gone). It didn't quite fill it all the way up, but
it was quite close. did a visual check of flows and tank pressures
and everything looked ok.
* Checked the angle of the struts on the old NCAR tower (what's
left of it). This was for jielun to see if we could figure out
the angle/direction of the booms from that tower.
117: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Thu 25-Sep-2003 14:47:06 MDT, site visit on Tuesday, Sept 23rd (SpB)
Tuesday, September 23rd Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Service the laser.
Weather: Gusty down-slope winds in the morning. . .at about 10AM (MDT)
the winds calmed with upslope conditions. There continued to be brief
periods of downslope winds. It was quite warm and sunny.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove the Jeep up to the site.
* there was a fire visible from the tower (it was down in the
foothills...toward nederland).
* there was a NOAA person doing stuff in the NOAA trailer (not
Duane).
* tried the GPS again and the unit still does not turn on. . .it
did work under AC power. (ps. will bring up to 9V batteries next
time...also bought 2 new cam-corder batteries).
---------
* 9:28 MST---Seviced the laser and filled the dewar with
liquid N2.
* Tank pressures at the base of the ameriflux tower:
n2--1000 psi
co2-- 800 psi.
* profiler dessicant seemed ok.
* Distance from cu tower to N Canopy tower...measured with a long tape
measure was about 58m. (following the extention cords).
* Discovered that the small cooler (which the extention cord that goes
out to the N canopy tower) was about 3/4 full of water. The
connection (it's kind of like a power strip) was completely
underwater. . .this might be the reason there is corrosion on the
battery at the N canopy tower (even though it was replaced at the end
of July)...i have no idea how that water got in there...i dumped out
the water and covered it with a plastic bag (it was wrapped up in a
plastic bag when i got there)
* Checked the West Robot---Done=0, co2 range=49.4, min_Range=65.
* Straightend up the Thermocouples...new hts (measured from the
ground):

Friday, Sept 19th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site : SpB, LSD, BB
Purpose of visit: Change profiler dessicant trap. Do some stuff
for the laser.
Weather: A near-perfect fall day. Not very windy, lots of
cool sunshine and yellow aspens.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove the suburban to the site. Met at settlers. Laura and I
returned the suburban after going to the site.
* tried to use the GPS, but the batteries didn't work (might need
to replace an internal battery?).
---------
* 9:29 MST---Changed profiler dessicant trap. Noted that the
flow-rate was about 14 before the change. It was set to 10 after
changing the trap. 8:36 MST---zeroed profiler. The offset was quite
small, ~0.006 mV.
* 10:16 MST---shutdown laser/pump...replaced the 2m orifice and added
teflon tape. The 2m data looked a bit strange compared to the other
low-level data so decided to use the extra orifice and replace the one
which was out there.
* ~11:30 MST---put in a new cal2 cylinder (sirfer #6) which replaced
S10. (S10 was down to about 270 psi). After replacing the tank
balanced the tank pressures. Seemed ok, but had to leave before a
thorough check was completed. (never had a chance to adj thermocouple
hts).
114: equipment purchases, Site CU 26m Tower, Thu 18-Sep-2003 13:57:51 MDT, Return Licor 6262 for cleaning
9/16/2003
Mailed the li6262 back to licor to get the cells cleaned (this
is the reason we could no longer zero both co2 and h2o). They
will also replace the internal soda lime and dessicant.
li6262 Serial Number: IRG3-638
Phone number: 1-800-447-3576
RMA #: 128574
I talked to Anna and Brent. (I never asked the price for this).
113: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Thu 18-Sep-2003 12:19:31 MDT, site visit on Wednesday, Sept 17th (SpB).
Wednesday, Sept 17th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Determine what the problem is with the profiler
(li6251). Download logger data. Fix wiring snafu on the old li6251.
(reset the bottom breaker).
Weather: Clear in the morning. Gusty. Dark clouds started building
up in the afternoon.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove the suburban to the site.
* brought up some of Dave Bowlings boxes for when he gets laser.
---------
* 9:39 MST---shutdown laser system. Replaced inlet filters for laser
on the main tower. Changed out orifice for 2m level. 10:59 MST
restarted data laser collection. Checked co2 values:
13 2m 367.6 ppm
14 1m 369.4
15 0.5m 370.5
16 0.1m 375.2
* 9:40 MST---flipped back on bottom breaker (on Sept 16th bottom
breaker popped sometime between 13:00-16:30 MST).
* Downloaded logger data:

* There were time errors in the N Canopy loggers (due to the bottom
breaker popping). Changed the setting on the battery charger from
"manual" to "deep-cycle". Not sure if this will help, but there
was some corrosion on the battery terminal. Time errors:

reversed). 11L38 MST, note: moved bowlings csat sonic (one at 8m) to
get to into the licor box. Should have marked the exact location of
the sonic since it might now be oriented slightly different.
* Found that a constriction in the dessicant trap on the profiler
(li6251) was causing the p.prof/flow problems with the profiler.
Replaced the trap with the "emergency" trap in the profiler box.
12:39 MST, zeroed the profiler.
112: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Thu 18-Sep-2003 11:45:34 MDT, site visit on Monday, Sept 15th (SpB)
Monday, Sept 15th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Replace the li6262 w/ the li6251 (the
cleaning didn't work). Replace the battery for the top
level logger.
Weather: Clear, Warm, and Windy.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove the suburban to the site.
---------
* Brought the li6251 back out to the tower and put up in place of the
li6262. We tried to flush the li6262, but it didn't correct the
offset problem (mailed the li6262 back to LiCor on sept 16th).
* 9:50 MST --- changed the li6262. Offsets for zero air:
co2: 1418 mV (558ppm)
h2o: 1789 mV (51.8 mm/m)
wiring for li6262:
8 - black (co2)
9 - red (co2)
11 - red (h2o)
13 - green (Temp 5V)
14 - 3 black wires (ground wires)
15 - white (Aux, pressure)
wiring for li6251:
1 - red (co2 0.1s)
2 - gnd (co2)
7 - green (temp 5V) [note: 7&8 might be reversed]
8 - black (gnd)
13 - pressure (white)
14 - grnd
* 10:42 MST, checked zero---needed to adjust by 0.085 mV.
* co2 value ~ 0.948 mV, temp=18.68 C.
* i left a few of the connecters for the li6262 in the box to put the
li6262 back in.
* 11:25 MST, replaced the new deep cycle battery for the fast
data logger and the cr21x (level above the li6262 box). The
previous battery was NOT deep-cycle so i changed the charger
setting to (3) "Maintenance-free & deep cycle" setting. Note this
new battery has cleared up the problem of data dropouts from chan 201.
(the old battery was from July, 1999).
* 12:46 MST, the bubble flow meter for the profiler seemed to be a bit
low (~5). Checked the the profiler big pump and it seemed ok. Tried
to trouble-shoot this, but it wasn't clear what the problem was...here's
the e-mail from Andrew:
Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2003 06:26:23 MDT
To: Sean Burns
From: turnip@ucar.edu
Subject: Re: p.prof...
Sean
fyi - the mace head station here just got the internet hooked up
today! so we got lucky. this the first chance I've had to check
email.
1) settings on charger sound fine - set it to the low deep cycle
setting. does sound like the battery there was near-death. I don't
think its an ATD battery, just an old one we had around.
2) on profiler - it sounds like there is some kind of restriction in
the line - that results in lower flow (on flow meter - should be
around 10) and low negative pressure. 2 things to check - I'll bet
its one of these two - a) the dessicant trap, sometimes the fittings
on either end of the trap get clogged up and b) there's one of those
little Nupro stainless steel filters in the line just above the IRGA -
it could be clogged. Try taking out the dessicant first (just couple
the lines together) and see if flow and pressure go up.
* ~13:00 MST...shutdown the laser. Downloaded laser data and moved
the 14m inlet up to 21.5m. Changed the filters on the 4 lowest levels
(0.1m to 2m). These are all at the mini-tower.
* checked the flasks at West Robot, done=0.

Friday, Sept 12th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site : SpB, RM, LSD, BB, M, AS, JH, S
Purpose of visit: Swap out the li6262 (off-scale) with
the li6251. Take down the disjunct flux system.
Weather: Very Windy. It calmed down a bit just as we
were leaving. Dark clouds up near the divide.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove the suburban to the site.
* Andy S. (utah) was working on the east robot.
* Mike (post-doc) was visiting from Santa Barbara.
---------
* Brought the li6262 back out to the tower and put up in place
of the li6251.

Thursday, Sept 11th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site : SpB, AT
Purpose of visit: Swap out the li6262 (off-scale) with
the li6251. Take down the disjunct flux system.
Weather: First snow of the fall season. Came down in small gusts
from higher elevations. No snow stuck. Hands were cold.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove the suburban to the site.
---------
* installed a new dekaron line for the li6262. Also, new Nupro 2
micron filters (remember that these are in the box AND at the inlet to
the li6262 line, at 21.5m). The offset values for the li6262 were:
co2, 590 mV, ~173ppm
h2o, 820 mV, 15 mmol/m3
* swapped out the licor6262 for the li6251 (no water vapor measurement
w/6251). We tried to clean out the li6262 back in the trailer by
flushing the cell with ethanol. Set it up in the trailer to dry out
the cell overnight.
* the disjunct sampling system is in the tent.
* Swapped out the cal gas for the laser (cal1, J8 for J4). (this was
done at about 3:30 MDT). There is still about 400psi left in J4 which
could be used for a few days.

Tuesday, Sept 9th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site : SpB
Purpose of visit: Take care of the laser.
Weather: Rather cool with clouds building. There were large puddles
on the road and everything was wet. Down in Boulder there were BIG
winds on the night of Sept 8th.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove the suburban to the site.
---------
* Downloaded laser data and filled the dewar. The laser PC was off
(presumeably due to the power outage, see below). When rebooted the
PC fan was making quite a bit of noise...need to keep an eye on this.
* the dates of the N canopy loggers were all screwed up (have details
need to add here). Reset these loggers. The times were:

Site Visit - Sept. 5th, 2003
(1) Topped off LN2 at Laser.
(2) Bottom breaker had popped the day before. Reset. Robots and undercanopy data logger was still running and fine. North canopy access towers had lost power. Checked on this (after breaker reset) and downloaded data and reset clocks. When logged in :
Soil Logger : Actual time - 11:48, 9/5/03 MDT
Logger time - 10:26, 9/1/03
Tc logger : Actual time - 10:54, 9/5/03
Logger time - 13:26, 4/6/06 (jump to the future!!)
It looked like the last 10-12 data points on each downloaded files had screwed up time tags - probably was fine until they lost power - then restarted (when the breaker was reset) with a funny time/date.
(3) Put up a new inlet line for the eddy correlation system. Also made a new heat exchanger (CU tubing). But did not install. It is ready to go though.

2 parameters with the licor 6262 (h2o and ?). This
is a modification to the cambell program with the fast
logger.
* Started setting up for the Hydra. Used some of the existing
dekaron tubing from last summer. Picked 9 sites between the
main tower and N canopy tower to measure co2 above/below snow.
Moved the snow profile sensors (attached to the MRS cr10x
logger) from the current position over to the hydra sites.
(need to fill in some more details here....)
Info about the short snow temperature probe:
buried 14cm in the ground
1st thermistor at ~ -7cm

* Drove suburban up to site. Went to McGuckins and bought a few
more things for the thermocouples...also bought some gloves to
leave at the trailer.
---------
* Brought up 2 cylinders from CU:
1. UHP zero air: CC140756
2. UHP Nitrogen: CC140727 (not sure if this is new or not??).
I put these in the front of the trailer...Inside
the trailer there is:
1. UHP zero air: CC153446 (brand new)
2. UHP Nitrogen: CC140765 (note on the cylinder:
850 lbs, 12/12/02, WMB)
* Downloaded all the logger data. Dates/times were fine
on all data loggers.
* Noticed that the purge (UHP zero air) was at zero flow
on the flow meter....brought this back up to 10 cc/min and
redid the tarp over the cylinders. (The tarp was added to
keep the sun off the cylinders).
* Cleaned the krypton hygrometer (q-tips and DI water).
* Finished putting all the the thermocouple mounts on
the tower (not all thermocouples are attached to the mounts).
Would like to measure the heights before doing this.
* Brought up the cat5e cross-over cable and the cat5e cable
with rj45 connectors to the trailer.
* Changed the dessicant at the East Robot tower (ie, the MgClO4 in
the left-hand trap). Also, changed it in the right-hand trap.
Didn't entirely replace all the dessicant in the left-hand trap
since only the top appeared to be fully used.

101: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 27-Aug-2003 08:43:57 MDT, Site visit on Monday, August 25th (SpB)
Monday, August 25th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site : SpB.
Purpose of visit: Service robots and laser. Make sure a new 160-liter
tank of LN2 is at MRS. Met Steve Oncley and Matias (NCAR visitor) to
show the site.
Weather: Rainy and overcast. It started raining pretty early (around
10am). Temperature is a bit cool. . .summer is ending.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Drove suburban up to site. Went to McGuckins and bought a bunch
of stuff for the thermocouples...and a battery charger.
* Dean (USGS) was up there working on his data system (replacing the
A/D board).
* took lots of mushroom photos.
* saw a ruby-crowned kingled and a wilsons warbler near the turnoff
from the main trail to the east robot.
---------
* Met the delivery person and showed him where to put the new
160-liter Dewar. Topped off laser dewar and downloaded
data.
* showed Steve O and Mathias the laser instrument and took them
part-way up the tower.
* Both robots had filled the flasks (done=1) so I shut the stopcocks
and downloaded the data from the cr23x loggers. The files are:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 62742 Aug 25 13:00 030825E.dat
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 81991 Aug 25 13:14 030825W.dat
From last week they are:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 28453 Aug 20 12:02 030820E.dat
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 64802 Aug 20 13:19 030820W.dat
* constructed some more mountings for the thermocouples and put up 3
more levels.
* the dessicant for the profiler was ok.
100: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Thu 21-Aug-2003 09:09:50 MDT, site visit on Wednesday, August 20th (SpB, AT, RM)
Wednesday, August 20th Visit:
-----------------------------
At the site : SpB,AT,RM.
Purpose of visit: Connect russter back to the network. Service
robots and laser. Andrew is putting up the disjunct eddy sampling
system.
Weather: Warm and sunny.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Russ drove suburban up to site (met at settlers park).
* Dean (USGS) was up there working on his data system.
---------
* Using a crossover cable to connect the ADDTRON Ehternet Hub UTP4/L
to the RJ45 port on Lancast brought russter back on-line. yipee!
We are currently using Gordons crossover cable---should buy our
own and return the one we borrowed to Gordon.
* Downloaded laser data. topped off Liquid N2. 160-l Dewar at MRS
is empty....need to call and setup for another delivery of LN2.
(note: did this on 8/21, delivery will be Monday morning 8/25).
* Swapped flasks at both the East and West Robot Towers. At the East
tower I also replaced the soda lime. (need to get more soda lime...maybe
ask Andy where he gets it). The robots collected samples on
different nights (2 days at East, 4 days at West). The files didn't
copy correctly to my zip disk, so can't put them on the web.
* We tried to figure out the problem with the TC logger at the N
canopy tower. It appeared that only one of the multiplexers was
working. This might be due to the reference temperature sensor
being way off scale. We tried to fix one of them and it seemed
to be working, but there still might have been a large offset in
the ref temp. At the end of the day we placed 2 of the thermocouples
right next to eachother so we can compare the accuracy. (need
to get the model number of the multiplexer). The TC logger program
was modified...prior to modifying we downloaded the logger data. The
thermocouples which were hooked together are:
(1) on Mux I (which contains Tc's 1-25) - was Tc #6
(2) on Mux III (which contains Tc's 51-75) - was TC #7
I need to check and see which columns these Tc's show up in - there may be
a reference temperature in there (that would throw the columns off a bit
from just columns 6 and 58).
* pressure in N2 cylinder (replaced on Monday) looked ok (around 2100 psi).
* profiler dessicant looked ok.
99: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 19-Aug-2003 13:43:05 MDT, site visit on Monday, August 18th (SpB)
Monday, August 18th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site : SpB.
Purpose of visit: Top of TGA with liquid N2. Figure out why the
network to Russter is down.
Weather: Huge cumulonimbus clouds. But the bulk of the storm seemed
to miss the site. At times it was sunny and other times dark and
gloomy.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove suburban up to site.
* Dean (USGS) was up there working on his data system.
---------
* Worked with Mark Lesloben (MRS) to try and get the network
working again. We tried several combinations of things and
concluded that the hub in the hut was not working (this is
a Lancast 4396 Hub). This hub has a BNC port, RJ45 ports, and
an interface to fiber optic.
The 10base-2 network (BNC connectors) goes from our trailer
under the road to the hut...there it is networked with 2 other
computers. We used the extra hub (ADDTRON Ehternet Hub UTP4/L)
in our trailer to communicate with one of the PCs in the hut (confirms
that our wires are ok). We could not get the ADDTRON to communicate
properly with the Lancast Hub. Gordon thinks this might need a
"crossover" cable. He is also going to let us borrow a 10base-2
to RJ45 converter. (side note: there is a phone there in case
of an emergency....and with the PC you can get on the internet...these
need to be unplugged/disconnected when you are not using them).
Also, I stopped the data system and tried using the D-link (?)
hub (mini-hub connected to russter) to do the connection. Data
system came back up, but it was a bit slow.
* Topped off the laser with LN2. (didn't download any data).
* replaced the N2 cylinder at the base of the tower (Hank must
have emptied his cylinder). Took Hanks empty cylinder back to CU.
* tried out a prototype attachment for the thermocouples to the tower.
* checked the Robots (East was finished, done=1, West was still
waiting, done=0). Closed stopcocks for the east robot. Didn't
swap out any flasks.
98: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 19-Aug-2003 13:29:41 MDT, Site Visit on Friday, August 15th (SpB, AT, RM)
Friday, August 15th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site : SpB,AT,RM.
Purpose of visit: Download logger data. Change oil and inlet
filters for the laser.
Weather: Strong upslope. some cumulus clouds up near the ridge.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove with Russ in suburban up to site. Andrew met us there.
---------
* Downloaded the logger data files. (note: time was off on soil
logger). The files I downloaded are:

soil 8/11/03, 15:37:07 8/15, 12:00:00 MST
23xTCs ok
CR10x ok
UCan ok
* Brought up 2 robot suitcases to the trailer
* Brought up a cylinder of UHP zero-air. (need to call airgas to
get mixup straightened out...ie, there is still a steel cylinder
of UHP zero-air up in the 4th floor lab).
* Changed pump oil (AT) and inlet filters (SpB) on the laser system.
Downloaded laser data and put them on the web.
* Changed dessicant in profiler (note: the used Magnesuim Perchlorate is
now at CU in the lab).
* tried to use the GPS (made a small file from the trailer to como creek).
* we investigated the network problem to russter...duane gave us the
combo to the hut with the hub. Our network to the hub appeared to
be working ok.
* Andrew tried to change N2 for licor 6262 (cylinder at the base of the
tower).--there was a problem since the tank Hank Loescher used was empty.
(either he didn't close the valve all the way or he emptied it on
purpose??).
97: site visit, Site russter, Wed 13-Aug-2003 16:00:30 MDT, Aug. 13, 2003
Aug. 13, 2003
Weather - sunny, hot.
(1) Downloaded laser data. Seemed to work OK. CD did burn properly (checked by looking at it with another laptop). Laser restarted at ~ 11:35 AM. All the parameters seemed fine except the flows through the Nafion driers were low (1.2 Lpm and 0.4 Lpm).
(2) Downloaded both the east and west robots. Both were done (done = 1). Switched out the flasks in both.
(3) russter is still off the network, but still collecting data. No missed data since Aug. 8. No breakers popped in the last 3 days either. Mark Losleben is on vacation and Steve Seibold knows of no network problem. Will check with Andy o'Reilly to see what he knows. If the network is functioning fine - we may need to consult with UnixOps to see what to do. I did check the ethernet cable going across the road and saw no evidence of damage. Still could be the problem.
96: data system, Site russter, Wed 13-Aug-2003 15:57:52 MDT, Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2003
Aug. 12, 2003
Noticed that data had not been sent down from russter since Aug. 8.
Russter was not on the network (couldn't ping).
However, I was up at the site on Aug. 10th and the russter was running fine - although it had hung when I logged in. this was most likely due to being off the network as this is typical behavior when russter is off-line.
will chekc with MRS to see if there are any known network problems.
95: site visit, Site laser, Wed 13-Aug-2003 15:55:30 MDT, Site visit on Aug. 10
August 10th, 2003
Sunny, hot.
Short visit.
Topped off the LN2 on the laser. Noticed it appeared to running properly
Had a popped breaker (bottom). REset.
didn't seem to have impacted the east robot. It was still operating and had completed its sampling the previous night (Done = 1)
94: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 06-Aug-2003 16:00:43 MDT, Site visit on Aug. 6, 2003
August 6, 2003
Weather - sunny, calm. some clouds in the afternoon and sprinkles.
(1) topped off LN2 on the TGA. Downloaded data from the TGa between ~11:00-11:30-AM (see laser data sheets for exact timing). Things went smoothly - no problems that I could tell. Laser was back up and running around 11:30 AM.
(2) Both east and west robots were not done - I think they have to start or finish over a Saturday - since I reset them on Sunday - hasn't filled the flaskes yet. So - put in new Dave Bowling program - Auto23EW.csi, into both the east (~11:00AM) and west (~3:00PM) robots. this has new target ranges. Also realized that Brant had closed the stopcocks on the west robot when the power screwup occurred last Friday. Think this is a bad habit - you should only close the stopcocks if you plan to remove the flasks. Otherwise - they won't get filled or refilled later. Opened the west stopcocks at around 3:30PM.
(3) Moved the ATI from 21.5 m height to 12.3 m height. Also moved the Li7500 with it. ATI orientation is 180 deg. from its previous alignment (mounted on same side of tower, but pointing the opposite direction). LI7500 is west and slightly south of the sonic. ATI was off from ~12:30-2:30. Li7500 was off from around 1:10 to 2:15. Note - the Li7500 uses the Campbell SDM communication with the fast23x logger as well as the CSAT-3 at 21.5 m. Previously I have noticed that when I disconnect the Li7500, the CSAT-3 communication also gets screwed up. Need to check if this happened today, but if so, we probably don't have sonic data at 21.5 m between 1:10-2:15. Overall, switch went pretty smoothly.
looked at analog surge protector but did not install.
93: site visit, Site robots, Wed 06-Aug-2003 15:29:52 MDT, Site visit on Aug. 3, 2003
August 3, 2003 - Sunday
Weather -= sunny, hot in AM. Rain and storms moved in around 1:30. JUST rain though -no big lightning and thunder.
Robot problems : Brant was suppposed to switch out flasks on previous Friday; however, he called late on Friday and told me there was a problem with the west robot. It had tripped the breaker at Dean's tower and the power was gone. When he attempted to reset the breaker - it kept tripping. So he left flasks as they were (at both east and west).
Problem - the battery charger at the west site had developed a short circuit somewhere/somehow. Disconnecting the charger from the battery (and robot) - still tripped the breaker, had sparks fly when you plugged it in and the power cord got warm very quickly - it obviously had a lot of current going through it. Got rid of charger and replaced with another charger. Left on "charge" for about 3-4 hours until robot logger no longer reported a low battery error. After putting on the new charger - data logger/robot seemed to operate normally. Left the flasks there.
East Robot has worked properly - changed out the flasks. have a 1/2-suitcase full of flasks to send back and will contact Dave/Andy S. to figure out the next step.
Topped off LN2 on the TGA - seemed to be running fine.
New Fast O3 target - around 1:00 PM
Downloaded data from Soil and TC data loggers (at N canopy access tower). Sean had reported some power problems there, but I saw no problems today. Loaded new program into Soil23x => soil23xC.csi (put in May03 code directory). This logs data from the IR-thermometer which we had inadvertantly been missing.
92: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 30-Jul-2003 17:44:27 MDT, site visit on WEdnesday, July 30th (SpB,HL,T/J/N)
Wednesday, July 30th Visit:
---------------------------
At the site : SpB,HL,T/J/N.
Purpose of visit: Help Hank with anything he needed. install
powerchute software. figure out problem at N Canopy Tower.
Weather: Threatened rain, but never really let loose. Nice and
cool up there.
---------
Misc Notes:
* drove myself up there. GPS crew took the suburban.
* put the soil licor in the suburban for Laura.
* lots of rain recently (the trail looked like there
was water flowing down it).
---------
* Met Hank Loescher in the morning...he shutdown his system and
took everything down. He left 3 boxes to be mailed. . .there is
a special color form, "Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods"
which needs to go with the gases. Hank is going to e-mail a
new copy of this form and then there are 2 areas which need to
be blacked out as the ones on my desk. Four copies of the form
need to be made and then included with the shipping form.
* Note: I thought hank was using the powerbox near the platform (this
is connected to the outlet). But instead he was using the power
cord i ran into the tent (which was on the bottom breaker). The
bottom breaker popped several times over the weekend and as a result
he lost some data. He also reset the breaker several times.
* downloaded the laser data. topped off the liquid N2. The
laser crashed twice after i restarted the program (went to
blue screen). On the 3rd time it was ok.
* downloaded UC flux logger data (file is still on the laptop).
* re-checked the alignment of the 1.6m handar and csat at the minitower.
for handar: ht=160cm, N-S orientation is 10 deg East of North
(this should be aligned with approx true N)
for csat: ht=? (easier if 2 people do this). boom is approx 185 deg
from mag. North
* re-checked the loggers at the N Canopy tower...they were still
acting strange, and there were more messages about power problems.
When i tried to download a data file there was nothing there.
Also when trying to view the data they were all zeros.
so i checked the input power to the logger.
If the battery charger was plugged into the AC power the voltage at
the soil cr23x logger was ~ 13 Volts. When unplugged the voltage
dropped to 1.8V. After checking connections I assumed the battery
was bad. I took a new battery from the trailer and replaced it.
After replacing the battery, the unplugged power at the loggers was
about 12V (seemed reasonable) and the loggers seemed to be working
normally. Redownloaded all programs and reset clocks.
We've lost some of the logger data from mid-July (last download) to
end of July.
* the dessicant for the profiler was still blue.
* the n2 tank at the base of the tower is getting a bit low...around
800 psi. Note that the tank Hank Loescher used is bungee corded to
the fence near the base of the tower (yellow bungee). This can be
used.
* tried to install powerchute after getting the proper cable (940-0023A).
Didn't work. Gordon tried to help me out with this, and still didn't
work...final e-mail from Gordon:
Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 14:08:23 MDT
To: Sean Burns
From: Gordon Maclean
Subject: Re: powershooot!
Sean,
Take a look at these docs at APC:
http://www.apcc.com/products/management/pcp_linux.cfm
http://www.apcc.com/products/management/pcp_simplesign.cfm
The second indicates that you need the 940-0020B cable!
If that is right, then the Config.sh script is wrong when
it says you need a 940-0023A.
Gordon
---------------------
* some things to order which I haven't gotten around to yet:
- new domes for the REBS net radiometer (REBS: 206.624.7221)
- Campbell Dessicant packs (how many?)
- some gelman filters (with or without the metal tabs?).
91: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 29-Jul-2003 17:03:49 MDT, site visit on Monday, July 28th (SpB,LSD,BB,SS)
Monday, July 28th Visit:
-----------------------
At the site : SpB,LSD,BB,SS.
Purpose of visit: Unable to ping russter. Needed to go and find out what
the problem was....tried to call MRS, but couldn't get through. also, to top
off the liquid nitrogen.
Weather: Started booming around 11am.
---------
Misc Notes:
* used the suburban. gps crew stayed in the lab.
---------
* Russter was running fine and saving data. The network to the outside
world was down. MRS had no internet and no phone service. (it came
back today, 7/29). for future reference here are some computers to
ping at MRS: silverlake.colordo.edu (Sun),
oreilly.colorado.edu (Andys PC)
* amazingly the breakers appeared to be ok (need to check with hank
loescher about this).
* Steve S. at MRS coordinated the delivery of the new 160-l LN2 dewar.
(note: the nozzle is connected to the 160-l dewar and there is
an empty 10-l dewar in the shed).
* did not download laser data---all seemed fine. topped off the
laser dewar.
* there were the following power outages observed by the quacker:
Jul 26 17:44:05 quacker apmd[965]: Now using Battery Power
Jul 26 17:44:09 quacker apmd[965]: Now using AC Power
Jul 26 17:44:09 quacker apmd[965]: Charge: * * * (100% 3:20)

Jul 27 14:36:50 quacker apmd[965]: Charge: * * * (100% 3:20)
* i didn't want to mess around with the powerchute software since
rebooting might cause problems (when i first arrived i couldn't log
into the quacker from russter...but later i could).
* the breakers were all ok when i first arrived...as i was about to
leave i noticed that the bottom breaker had popped (o3.slow was
negative). so i went out and reset it (first time this has happened
in quite a while).
* i went to the N Canopy tower...the loggers there were a mess. here
are the times recorded:

there was also an error on the 23xTC logger which was:
E10 434 Low Battery (i'm not sure about the 434).
the data files I downloaded from the soil and 23xTC loggers appeared
to be missing lots of data...the cr10x file seemed ok (need to check
these more carefully).

Friday, July 25th Visit:
-----------------------
At the site : SpB,G/T/J.
Purpose of visit: Download the laser data. Top off the liquid nitrogen.
Weather: Broken Cumulus...overcase when we left (around 2pm).
---------
Misc Notes:
* traded in the suburban for a loaner in the morning. traded it back
in the afternoon (16:20). There was a flat yesterday and also a
screw in the tire which was losing air. we now have all new tires.
---------
* downloaded laser data---all seemed fine. also, the 160-liter tank at
MRS is completely empty. Dist Services will deliver a new on on Monday.
Steve Seibold will keep an eye out for them and help if necessary. The
laser dewar is completely full and there is a 1/2 full 10-l dewar in
the tent.
* installed the new APC serial cable from the UPS to the quacker. I didn't
put on the software yet. . .it was friday and i didn't want to deal with
any major problem. . plus i think gordon (local expert) is out of town.
* the quacker froze sometime when i was closing the box (not sure exactly
when)...but when i returned to the trailer it was down. had to go
back out and reboot the quacker....lost about an hour of data (from
about 12:30-1:30 MDT). it's a bit tighter fit into the quacker box with
the serial cable attached.
* took some photos of the intercomparison setup by Hank Loescher. He's leaving
on the 27th (Monday). So, I assume he will be up there breaking things
down this weekend.
* followed up on the airgas zero air delivery snafu. they will take back the
steel tank and give us 2 aluminum cylinders (150A). Supposed to deliver
this next Tuesday.
89: equipment purchases, Site none, Thu 24-Jul-2003 17:18:43 MDT, purchase of APC Serial cable (from UPS to quacker)
July 2003.
purchased the following cable:
APC 940-0023A Eq.
Stonewall part no: SC-7409
phone: 1-800-525-3303
price: around $30.
88: bowling, Site laser, Tue 22-Jul-2003 12:34:39 MDT, laser switched to new UPS (APC 1500 VA)
On Monday July 21, 2003 the UPS for the laser was switched (need to get
exact UPS model number).
The software for the UPS was not installed since we didn't want it to
interfere with the laser software. There are some usb ports which could
be used to install the monitor the UPS with the laser PC. All cables and
documentation for the UPS are in the tent.
87: bowling, Site laser, Tue 22-Jul-2003 12:32:15 MDT, TGA software upgrade to ver 5.06

Subject: TGA software update
Hi Sean,
Sorry this TGA is turning into such a pain to keep it running. I have
attached two files, tga.exe and tga.ovr. These are a new version of
the software that I hope will auto restart more reliably.
To install this new version, first, please save a backup of your
current version, i.e. make a directory "c:\tga_505" and copy the
entire contents of director c:\tga into it. Then just replace tga.exe
and tga.ovr in the c:\tga directory with the new versions.
This won't solve the real problem (the crashes), but I hope it will
avoid the program setting the DC current and ramp B offset to 1,
which is now preventing the automatic startup.
Thanks for wrapping the sample cell - I am anxious to see some new
data to see if this will make the calibration more constant. You
expressed some concern that this may have disturbed the alignment. To
check this:
1) adjust the DC current so that you are NOT on the absorption line,
(start ON the normal line, then increase the DC current 1 or 2 mA)
2) Temporarily change the display in graph 1 to "ref det sig" and
graph 2 to "smp det sig". What are these values? These are the raw
detector signals, an indication of the optical alignment.
3) go back to the normal mode.
4) In the parameter column, select the SMPL Gain (#6) and see what it
shows - it should be "0 A", indicating it is in gain 0 (the lowest
gain) and under automatic control. Repeat for "REF Gain" (#9) - it
should also be "0 A".
I have appended below my notes on what I see in the data - a few more
glitches, consistent with what I have seen before. Also - it looks
like the pressure is a tiny bit higher for cal tank 2. If this trend
continues, we may need to ask you to readjust this.
Thanks for all your efforts there!
Steve

85: robots, Site robots, Tue 22-Jul-2003 12:26:00 MDT, Closed valves -- Monday July 21.
Monday July 21.
The robots had *6A, done=1.
Brant closed/checked the East Tower and closed stopcocks. SpB
did the west.
84: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 22-Jul-2003 12:19:54 MDT, site visit on Monday, July 21 (SpB,HL,LSD,BB,SS,G/T/N)
Monday July 21st Visit:
-----------------------
At the site : SpB,HL,G/T/N,LSD,BB,SS.
Purpose of visit: Connect the laser to the new UPS. See how hank
is getting along.
Weather: Fairly heavy afternoon thunderstorm (around 2pm). Otherwise,
broken cumulus clouds with sun breaks. Not as hot as it has been.
---------
Misc Notes:
* took MRS shuttle...biked back through gold hill/four mile canyon.
* the trail to the tower was fairly moist in the morning....it had been
raining recently.
* stuck at MRS waiting for the rainstorm to let up.
---------
* connected the laser system to the APC UPS (1500 VA). (get model number
of the new UPS). left the other UPS (BackUPS 500) in the tent.
* downloaded laser data--burned CD. Filled laser dewar, etc. Should order
a new 160-l tank of LN2 for delivery next week (monday or tues). Currently
the 10-l dewar at the tent is near full and the one in the shed is near
full.
* robots had collected data, Brant closed stopcocks at the east tower
and I closed them at the west tower.
* hank had everything more-or-less setup, but his a-to-d board was not
working properly. he was going to try and borrow one or come up with
an alternate plan. i told him to e-mail me if i can help in some way.
* changed the dessicant on the licor 6251. Both used dessicant tubes are
in the lab at CU (above andrews desk). These need to be cleaned out and
re-filled with fresh Mg[ClO4] (Magnesium Perchlorate).
* re-cleaned the krypton hygrometer (using a q-tip this time).
* downloaded all the logger data from the main tower (and also the UC
logger)...the files are (need to list):
83: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 22-Jul-2003 11:59:36 MDT, site visit on Saturday, July 19th (SpB,HL)
Saturday July 19th Visit:
-------------------------
At the site : SpB,HL.
Purpose of visit: See how Hank is doing.
Weather: Brief afternoon thunder storm. Otherwise sunny and warm.
---------
* drove the suburban up.
* brought up the APC UPS (1500 VA). Purchased in the morning at CompUSA...they
were out of 1000 VA ones. Went with APC since the software will be the same
as on our other UPSs.
* helped hank install the IC net rad on the tower next to our net rad (at 24m?).
* noticed that the dessicant on the profiler needed to be changed (the
indicator was pink). Didn't change it.
* hiked up past the cable gate toward the ridge...looked a bit stormy to be
out on the exposed ridge...on the way down duane was also leaving...we noticed
the lock was not on the gate?? (apparently hanks truck was out of control and
rammed the gate).

Friday July 18th Visit:
-----------------------
At the site : SpB,HL,G/T/J.
Purpose of visit: Restart the laser and install the new tga software.
Weather: Brief afternoon thunder storm. Otherwise sunny and warm.
---------
Misc Notes:
* G/T/J helped us carry some of Hank Loeschers stuff out to the tower.
* Didn't get to the site till about noon (drove my car up). Needed to
order some things from the lab before I went up. Ordered the APC
cable for the quacker.
* checked into what has happened with the zero grade air ordered by
andrew. he placed the order on 6/26/03 for 2 150A size cylinders.
airgas is looking into this---I still haven't heard back from them.
I think I talked to joe....call them again!!
---------
* met hank at around noon. he was waiting at MRS. Helped him carry
a few things out to the tent/tower. he is planning to set up everything
on the 8m platform. He will use the powerbox near there which is
connected to the outlet just below the breaker box.
* installed new software on the tga PC. downloaded the laser data. filled
the tga dewar.
* downloaded the logger data from the North Canopy tower (need to make sure
it wasn't July 17th (Thursday)). List files here:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 166842 Jul 18 13:59 mrs7_18.dat*

81: robots, Site robots, Thu 17-Jul-2003 16:39:17 MDT, Flasks Swapped on July 17th (Thursday).
Thursday, July 17th.
I showed Brant how to swap the flasks at the West Tower. I
finished the West Tower flasks and he did the ones at the East Tower
on his own.
Forgot to copy the cr23x robot data files off of the laptop---will
do this tomorrow. The GPS crew is supposed to bring down the suitcase
with the swapped flasks. Will mail these tomorrow.
also, I should compile the cr23x logger code on the laptop (the program
is on a floppy disk in my backpack).
80: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Thu 17-Jul-2003 15:22:39 MDT, site visit on Thursday, july 17th (SpB,RM,G/T/J,BB,LSD,SS,DL)
Thursday July 17th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site : SpB,RM,G/T/J,LSD,SS,BB,DL.
Purpose of visit: Show Brant how to swap the robot flasks. Clean the
Krypton hygroter lens, replace the 2 micron filter for the licor 6262.
Weather at site: Sunny and very Warm. (Heard some thunder to the South
of us when we left...around 1pm).
---------
Misc Notes:
* Laser was running fine---just checked the cal numbers..otherwise, left
it alone (didn't fill the dewar...will do this tomorrow).
* Dave from San Diego State was visiting (Phd. with Russ in late 90s).
* checked into what has happened with the zero grade air ordered by
andrew. he placed the order on 6/26/03 for 2 150A size cylinders.
airgas is looking into this.
---------
* Showed Brant the procedure for swapping the robot flasks. He went
to help laura with the licor and I finished up the West Robot Tower.
He did the East tower on his own. (still need to get these data off
the laptop...and compile the robot program on the laptop).
* Used DI water to clean the krypton hygrometer lens. Didn't find the
q-tips till I was in the trailer later....I used a piece of toilet paper
instead. Should probably re-do this tomorrow.
* checked the profiler dessicant--ok (still blue).
* Changed the 2 micron NUPRO filter at the inlet for the licor 6262 line.
The used filter is in the basement lab of Ramaley in the same place
as where the used dessicant cylinders are. . .above T-seeds desk.
79: site visit, Site UGSG 33m Tower, Thu 17-Jul-2003 15:12:06 MDT, Site visit on Wednesday, July 16th (SpB,RM,G/T/J)
Wednesday July 16th Visit:
--------------------------
At the site : SpB,RM,G/T/J.
Purpose of visit: Restart the laser (crashed sometime last night).
Download laser data and fill the laser dewar. Change the REBs domes.
Weather at site: Sunny and Warm.
---------
Misc Notes:
* Brought the flasks suitcase up to the site.
* communitcation from specialk to russter was flaky in the afternoon...unixOPS
said this was probably due to power outages on campus.
---------
* Restarted the laser and burned a CD.
* Russ and I wrapped the laser sample cell with foam---see bowling
listings for details.
* checked the profiler dessicant--ok (still blue).
* Changed the REBs domes (note: I don't think there are any more
new domes left...order MORE).
* changed the ozone target. Note, details from Andrew:
A yellow target means it is a new one (they turn brown, then white as they
degrade). Sounds like you got the right one. Easy to check - look and see
what the signal is - if its below 100 mV - its an old one. I think the
on/off/off label has been on there, but it sort of hides if you don't open the box all the way.

------------------------
At the site : SpB,BB,G/T/J.
Purpose of visit: Have Brant run-through the laser data sheets.
Download laser data and fill the laser dewar. Install the new 37-pin
cable from Steve Sargent.
Weather at site: Sunny and Warm.
---------
Misc Notes:
* I drove and gave Brant a ride up.
* lifted the tarp off the tent (to leave a little airspace
between the tent and tarp).
---------
* the laser ran fine all weekend---see bowling listings for details.
* checked the profiler dessicant--ok (still blue).
* the robots appeared to have run (*6A, Done=1), so we closed the stopcocks
on robot flasks --- see robot listings for details.

i put all the files in a single tar file, tga_030710.tar (less

The laser appears to be running fine again (after resetting it). The
problem which stopped the data collection was the same as that from 2
days ago---the DC current and rampB offset were both 1 mA. Does
something happen which causes the DC current and rampB offset to go to
1 mA? ie, Is this a symptom of a different problem, or is this the
problem itself?? anyway, if there is anything you want me to try let
me know...
Dave, I'll put the 2 CDs I've burned so far in the robot flask
suitcase.
I'm going out to switch the East Robot flasks so if you want me to try
anything with the laser let me know and i'll check my e-mail again in
about 1-2 hours. . .
SpB.
> Thanks Sean. Steve, assuming this is the same issue - how hard
would it be to revamp the software so that it is a bit more
conservative with turning off the laser current? Maybe something like
"if the laser temp appears too high, wait a minute, check again, if
it's still too high, then turn it off"? Or something like that.

Subject: Laser back up and running...
Hi Dave/Steve,
The laser is up and running again. The problem was that the "DC
current" and "Ramp B Offset" were both at 1. I showed Brant how to
refill the Dewar and how to reset everything following the instruction
sheet. We now have 2 dewars which will make refilling much easier
(We'll leave one dewar down at the tank on our way out today).
Since the laser instruction sheet is so clearly laid out we could
probably train everyone up here how to reset the laser. . .I guess we
can wait and see how often these crashes happen. Also, I can stay
logged into russter and leave cockpit running so when people are up
here they can easily check the laser time series to make sure it is
running properly (or not). I guess it depends how much extra time
people have to do this...

it looks like it kept writing data files till about 23:39
yesterday..but maybe that is UTC time??...I'm also a little curious
why the file name is 07071246.*....that would be yesterday at 12:46?
Does this mean the data-stystem restarted at that time yesterday (this
would explain the clipping I saw in cockpit)?
I put these data on the web at:

If you have any other questions or something else I can check on just
let me know...I'll put the information from the data sheet in the

72: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 08-Jul-2003 15:15:37 MDT, site visit on Tuesday, July 8th (SpB,BB,LSD,SS,G/T/J).
Tuesday July 8th Visit:
------------------------
At the site : SpB,BB,LSD,SS,G/T/J.
Purpose of visit: Fix the laser which went down yesterday
afternoon (just before 5pm). Also, show Brant where/how to
refill the laser Dewar.
Weather at site: Sunny and HOT.
---------
Misc Notes:
* brought up a 2nd 10-liter dewar from the lab. One
should be left at the 160-liter tank and one at the tent.
* Brant drove.
---------
~9am arrived at the site.
* showed Brant where the 160-l dewar is located (in the snowmobile
shack behind MRS...just past the powerline and new building).
* We filled the 10-liter dewar we brought with us. NOTE: checked the
level of the 160-l dewar...there is a small metal rod which is painted
red and indicates the level. We weren't sure if the TOP of the red
part of the rod is the indicator or the bottom of the red part of the
rod is the indicator. If it's the top then the 160-l dewar is a bit
over 1/2 full...if it's the bottom then it's about 1/4 full. CHECK
THIS!!
* the laser had lost line-lock. I went through the procedures with
Brant on how to burn a CD and bring the laser back up (following the
instructions by DB).
* we topped off the TGA dewar as part of the procedure.
* the laser was working fine when we left.
~11am ---left the site.

Comments:
---------
9/30: Turned off the pump and moved the 2nd 21.5m line back down to 14m (where it was originally).
The data system shutdown shortly after we left the tent/tower. Didn't finish filling out the
form before leaving the tent.
9/26: 12:00 MST, filled LN2. Note: there is no more LN2 at MRS. Need to bring up 10-l dewars
from CU.
9/23: No data download. Only checked pressures and ppm values. cal1 seemed to have a slightly
higher pressure then the other lines, but didn't change anything (it was 17.4 (cal1)
vs 17.3 (others)). At 9:28 MST filled LN2.
9/19: Replaced cal tank2---Sirfer 10 with the backup, S6. Adjusted tank pressures. They seemed to not
need much adjustment. The 1st time checked the values the valve for cal2 was not open. Re-opened
this valve and restarted the data at 13:49.
9/17: 9:39 MST--shutdown laser system. Changed filters at all levels on the main tower (upper 6 levels).
Changed inlet orifice at 2m (10:50 MST). 10:59 MST---restarted laser data collection. Also topped
off LN2 (not all the way since i'll be back up on Friday). Didn't download any data, but did stop
the data system and shutdown the pump. Also, adjusted purge flow from 8->10 and Nafion Dryer2 from
0.8-> 0.7.
9/15 : At 13:22 MST shutdown the pump to change the inlet filters. Only changed the lowest 4 inlets
(ie, the ones on the mini-tower). Moved the 14m inlet up to be co-located with the 21.5m
inlet (at about 14:00 MST). (Note: forgot to check the nafion driers)
9/9 : When I arrived the PC was off---restarted the PC and recorded a short data file (~30 min) before
shutting the system down and burning a CD. There were power problems last night which was probably
the reason the PC was off. Note: the fan did not sound very good when booting the PC. . .though
it does seem to be blowing air ok. Also note, the "OffsetGn" box was not activated---i had to
manually start this. The fan sounded better after running a little while, but still whines every
now and then.
9/2 : Had to restart data system one time. It looks to me like the gas out of cal1 and cal2 are being
used faster than previously.
8/29: At about 13:00 MDT noticed that the flow of the UHP air was at zero cc/min. Adjusted it back
to 10 cc/min. Also, adjusted the Nafion driers and checked the ref gas (it was ok at 10 cc/min).
And topped off Liquid N2. Readjusted the tarp over the cylinders. Didn't download any data.
8/27: at around 1pm the tarp was wrapped around the cylinders.
8/25: Topped off Liquid N2 BEFORE filling in the data sheet. It's raining. Also, note: Nafion dryer
adjustment was not made until about 14:30 MDT (forgot to check it when filling out the form).
8/20: Reset the PC time to be near GPS time (the PC clock had drifted so it was off by about 7 minutes...see
above table for exact time difference). Crashed one time on rebooting. Around 13:50 is when i actually
filled out the co2 concentrations since i went off and did the east robot right after re-starting the system).
8/15: Changed the pump oil. Changed the inlet filters. Note that the cal gases measurements are closer to
the actual cal gas values (not sure why?).
8/13: Last weeks CD was corrupted. Made 2 CDs today. (1) Data from Aug 6-13; (2) Data from July 31-Aug13
(some redundant files!). Nafion flows are a bit low (not adjusted to normal level). Crashed at
beginning of restart -- had to restart.
8/6: Laser had a good week. No thunderstorms.
7/30: There was a crash right after starting (while recording values from site3).
Went to the blue screen and had to restart tga. After this the Tgaparam.tgs file
was corrupted (there was no "Ramp B offset" in the parameter list) and had
to be recopied from an old version of the file. The tga then crashed again.
The third time is ran ok. After the 2nd crash the error message was:
Runtime error 205. at 0210:000C
Also, the flow in the Nafian driers was lower than normal.
7/25: There was a crash right after starting (while recording values from site3).
Went to the blue screen and had to restart tga. happened at about 11:20.
After that it started up ok.
7/21: No crash with the new software. Shutdown the system to download data. Also,
installed the new UPS. The cal gas values seem a bit low so I checked
the alignment (see e-mail from Steve about how to do this---it's in the binder at
the tent). Here are the results:

7/18: Laser crashed Thursday afternoon. Installed new TGA software
from Steve. Had a few problems reading from the floppy drive.
Needed to move the files to a different floppy disk with the gateway laptop
and then it worked ok. Everything else seemed to work fine. The new
software closes the valves when tga is moved into run mode.
7/17: laser was running fine so I just let it go. I did record the cal gas numnbers to
see if they were closer than what we saw yesterday. It was almost exactly the same
as yesterday (reading about 4ppm lower than the cylinder values).
7/16: Crashed sometime during the night. Russ and I wrapped the sample cell with foam. The
cal values were quite a bit off when the system first came up (order of 6ppm). This
difference had decreased to about 4 ppm 3 hrs later. Also, I connected a wire from
the grounding rod to the PC chassis...here are the voltages I measured:
1) DC Voltage: 0.3-0.4 mV
2) AC Voltage: 1.8 mV
3) Resistance: 2.1 ohms.
7/14: Brant (BB) stopped the data, burned the CD and filled out the sheet. Was running fine
when we arrived and was running fine when we left. Replaced the 37-pin transputer cable
which Steve FedEX'ed to me.
7/10: Sometime during the night the laser stopped working...this is the "lost linelock" error.
Restarted fine.
7/8: Yesterday (7/7) afternoon at about 16:39 MDT the data system lost linelock and output became zero mV.
When arrived at the PC the message was, "lost linelock"; settings: DC Current=1, RampB Offset=1.
Appeared to restart ok.
7/6: Error when restarting....Restarted at 10:56, restarted automatically, sampling level 8 at this time.
DC Current and "Ramp B" Offset equals 1, manually linelock and manually restared data collection.
7/5: Sample Cell pressure slightly lower when restarted---probably due to change in the Nafion Drier flow rate.
70: bowling, Site none, Mon 07-Jul-2003 16:45:45 MDT, NOte: Laser Data giving ZERO.
July 7, 2003.
I was about to leave and was checking the laser data one last time. Both
signals are at zero. This appeared to happen at about 22:39 UTC (16:39 MDT).
Will check these again tomorrow morning (might need to go up to the site
to figure out what happened).
69: bowling, Site none, Mon 07-Jul-2003 15:24:08 MDT, Note: Laser Data clipped
July 7th, 2003.
Started cockpit this morning and laser data appeared to
be working fine. Since cockpit leaves a data trace as it
runs, I can see that, at some point during the day, the laser
data were clipping. It's difficult to say how long this happened
for (it looks like a short time). It was sometime between about
10am and 2pm MDT. Everything looks fine now so there is nothing
to do about this.

Niwot TDL Site Management and Data Collection
Be sure to go to the site with liquid nitrogen every time you visit.
Serious problems will result if the laser heats up. (But wait until
the appropriate step below to refill the LN2 dewar.)
Items in bold should be recorded on a unique field form for each collection date.
Record parameters upon arrival at the site:
1) If the keyboard lock is on ("Run" selected on Parameter menu), use
the down arrow key and select "Run/Edit" so you can use the keyboard.
2) Note the date, your name, time (your watch), and TGA time on the
field form.
3) Note if graph 1 is set to 12C (Y/N), and that the graph limits are
300 to 600 (Y/N). Verify that graph 2 is set to 13C (Y/N), and that
the graph limits are 3 to 6 (Y/N). These should always be true, if
not there is a problem in data collection and we need to know it.
4) Verify that Linelock, DataColl, Gradient, Laser on, SiteMean,
OffsetGn, and DualRamp are all correct (all should be on except
Gradient). Check the boxes on the field form (initial values column)
to indicate this.
5) Record the laser temperature, reference detector temperature, and
sample detector temperature.
6) Record the long cell pressure (use graph 3, set up the graph if
necessary - graph 3 does not alter data collection).
7) Change Graph 3 to TGA Ana Chan 1 and record the voltage to 3
decimal places (eg, 2.026; this is a measurement of long cell
temperature). If the Ana Chan is not 1 (if it's 2 or 3) then you need
to select that channel using the Parameter menu. The yellow nominal
"nom" selection under that menu should be 1.
8) Record the transmittance in the reference detector for ramps A and
B (Ref A % trans and Ref B % trans). These should be visible in the
detector graph section, set up the graph if necessary.
9) Record the DC current, and note if there is an "A" following it
(Y/N) indicating that the automatic line lock is on for 12C.
10) Record the Ramp B Offset, and note if there is an "A" following it
(Y/N) indicating that the automatic line lock is on for 13C.
11) Type "S" to toggle site means mode (mean data collection ) off.
12) Type "D" to toggle 10 Hz data collection off. You'll be asked to
hit a key to save data, or given an option to erase the data files and
you definitely don't want to do that.
13) Now that data collection has ceased, there is one more parameter
that needs to be recorded. Change graph 1 to Laser heater and record
the voltage.
14) Hit Esc to return to blue menu.
15) Hit X to exit to DOS.
16) At the C:\tga> prompt type "exit" to return to Windows.
-------------------------------------
Burn data to a CD:
1) Open SimpliCDROM using icon.
2) Insert a blank CD.
3) Open Windows Explorer using icon.
4) Go to C:\tgadata.
5) Select all files and drag them to the CDROM window.
6) Go to C:\tgaparm.
7) Select all files except Tgaparm.tgs and drag them to the CDROM
window.
8) Go to CDROM window and click "Burn Disc" button. No need to label
the volume.
9) Wait until CD is finished burning before proceeding to next step,
otherwise the CD won't burn properly. While you're waiting, measure
the depth of the liquid nitrogen in the dewar and record the LN2 depth
on the field form. Use a cable tie as a dipstick and blow on the cold
cable tie once you pull it out of the dewar (this makes it really
visible). There is no box for this measurement on the original
printed field form (version 2 now has it), so just write the depth in
the comments section if you have the version 1 form (upper right
corner of the form indicates the version). If you don't have a tape
measure, indicate the depth on the left side of the field form with a
line so it can be measured later. After measuring, top off the LN2
and indicate that you did this by checking the LN2 filled? box on the
field form.
10) Using Explorer, move all files EXCEPT Tgaparm.tgs to the
subdirectory C:\tgaparm\oldparmdata. This should leave only
Tgaparm.tgs and the oldparmdata folder in the directory.
11) Return to C:\tgadata and move all files to C:\tgadata\oldtgadata.
This should leave an empty directory with the exception of the
oldtgadata folder.
12) Check disk space at bottom of Explorer and consider deleting files
(oldest first) if it becomes necessary (unlikely). It's best to keep
them on the hard disk as long as we can for an extra copy.
13) Close Windows Explorer window.
14) Close CDROM software, don't save the layout.
15) Label the CD with a Sharpie with "Niwot" and the date. If this is
the second collection of the day, indicate so on both the CD and on
the field form so it's clear.
-------------------------------------
Start up the TGA run again:
1) Open MSDOS window using icon.
2) At C:\tga> prompt type "tga" to get the blue menu.
3) Select R for real time screen. TGA parameters will change and adjust.
4) At this point, all the relays are on and cal gas is being wasted as
a result. Press "S" twice to toggle site means mode on and off which
turns off the relays.
5) Watch laser, reference detector, and sample detector temperatures
for stability.
6) While you wait for stability, check tank pressures and flow rates
for relevant tanks and the Nafion driers and record them on the field
form. Adjust if necessary and make a note on the field form if you
did this.
7) Once temperatures are stable (usually several minutes), make sure
Ref A and Ref B are displayed in detector graph window. Set up the
graph if necessary
8) Verify absorption lines are in the detector graph window, then
press "I" to line lock for 12C. If you can't find the absorption
lines, then you need to look for them. Check the manual. Note that
to search for the lines you need to manually turn on one of the inlet
lines using the switches on the relay board to provide some gas to the
long absorption cell.
9) Press "Alt-I" to line lock for 13C.
10) Verify that all relay switches are in the "auto" position.
11) Set graph 1 to 10 Hz Conc A.
12) Set graph 2 to 10 Hz Conc B. These steps are critical as the data
that is plotted in graphs 1 and 2 is the data that is saved. If you
select some other parameter to be graphed here you will ruin data
collection so make sure! Note that graph 3 does not affect data
collection and can be adjusted and modified as necessary while
running.
13) Set graph limits on graph 1 to 300 and 600.
14) Set graph limits on graph 2 to 3 and 6. These steps set the D/A
output ranges that are read by the 21X datalogger and saved to the CU
data system.
15) Press "D" to start 10 Hz data collection.
16) Press "S" to start site means mode.
17) Immediately check the time and record it on the field form as the
data start time (TGA time, not your watch, hh:mm). This is used to
name data files.
18) On a 6-minute interval boundary (top of the hour, 6 mins after the
hour, etc) the profiler will begin cycling through the 18 sites. You
may need to wait up to 6 minutes before the data in the next step
appears on the screen.
19) As the TGA cycles through the 18 sites, write down the [12CO2]
concentration that appears on the screen for each site (labeled
MeanConc in the 3-row table near upper left). Only 3 sites are
visible at a time and if you miss one then you have to wait until it
comes around again (a cycle takes 6 minutes). Check to make sure the
air values are reasonable and that the cals are within 5 (10?) ppm of
the correct value (at right of the cells on the field form). If the
cals are farther off than 5-10 ppm from correct there may be no flow
from the tanks and this needs to be fixed by adjusting delivery
pressure on the tanks. This is not as easy as it sounds - call Dave
or Steve.
20) Record these things again and verify that they are similar to the
values that you saw earlier: laser temperature, reference detector
temperature, sample detector temperature, pressure, TGA Ana Chan1, Ref
A % trans, Ref B % trans, DC Current, DC Current "A", Ramp B Offset,
Ramp B Offset "A". Don't check the laser heater again as this will
cause data collection problems. This step can be combined with the
above step if you're paying attention since the above step involves
some waiting.
21) Verify that Linelock, DataColl, Gradient, Laser on, SiteMean,
OffsetGn, and DualRamp are all correct (all should be on except
Gradient). Check the boxes on the field form (after restart column) to
indicate this.
22) Put in "Run" mode instead of "Run/Edit" mode to lock the keyboard
(left end of menu).
23) Shut the tent window in case it rains.
If the system crashes after you restart: It will try to restart
everything automatically, and if you had data collection on ("S" and
"D") it will turn them back on. HOWEVER - sometimes when there is a
crash, the software sets DC current and Ramp B Offset to 1 mA, in
which case the software will never be able to find the absorption
lines. If you see a crash, immediately check these parameters and set
them to the appropriate values if they are set to 1 (use the latest
values on the field form if you have them, otherwise try DC Current =
498.5, Ramp B Offset = 10.865). You will usually need to manually
LineLock ("I" and "Alt-I") after things stabilize, or in some
instances you may need to search for the lines manually by adjusting
DC current (see the manual). You may also have to restart data
collection ("S" and "D", record the time again). This seems to occur
within 4-6 minutes of restarting, but does not repeat. Keep an eye
out for this problem before leaving the site.
The values that are written down in the "after restart" columns and
for [12CO2] at the 18 sites should reflect the system condition when
you leave the site, once things are working properly. Please watch a
while longer and either write down the second round new values or at
least verify that they did not change as the system runs a complete
6-minute cycle. Please take detailed notes on any crash that you see
(in comments section on the field form), and let us know as soon as
possible so we can diagnose the problem.

67: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 07-Jul-2003 11:52:54 MDT, site visit on Saturday, July 5th (SpB,DB,SS)
Saturday July 5th Visit:
------------------------
At the site : SpB,DB,SS.
Purpose of visit: Final run-through for laser training. Download
some logger data (from 26m tower). Also, deliver orifices up to the
site (one was clogged), and bring the laser boxes back down to CU
to keep in the lab.
Weather at site: Sunny and warm. Some cumulus clouds forming in
the afternoon.
---------
Misc Notes:
* used the suburban.
* Dave went up the following day (Sunday) and topped off the LN2.
---------
~11am -- picked up a FEDex for Steve Sargent which was delivered
to his hotel. (This was a bunch of new inlet orfices). There are
some extras which can be used to replace any which get plugged (need
to ask steve where these will be kept).
* Steve and Dave gave me a final run-through on the procedures for filling
out the laser form and things to check with the laser data. Some important
notes:
- it is critical that the Liquid N2 be kept full so the laser is
held at a constant (cold) temperature. The level of the LN2 should
be measured each visit and recorded on the data sheet.
- the data which is saved is whatever is whatever is shown on screen 1&2.
On screen 1 it should be the concentration of c12o2 (ylimits=[300 600])
and screen 2 should be concentration of c13o2 (ylim=[3 6]).
- the complete procedures are available in the tent in a green binder.
* there are about 30 copies of the data forms for the laser in the
green binder.
* topped off the liquid N2 Dewar. The level of the LN2 was about 11cm.
* Downloaded the following logger data from the Tower:
-rwxrwxr-x 500/500 332530 Jul 5 15:14 2003 cnr7_5.dat
-rwxrwxr-x 500/500 567557 Jul 5 14:52 2003 met7_5.dat

-rwxrwxr-x 500/500 995927 Jul 5 15:04 2003 prf7_5.dat
* filled the suburban with boxes for the laser. These are now in the
lab...if space is a problem they could be moved to another storage
location.

59: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 25-Jun-2003 08:38:24 MDT, site visit on Tuesday, June 24th (SpB, RM, BB, S)
Tuesday June 24th Visit:
------------------------
At the site : SpB, RM, BB, S.
Purpose of visit: Finish replacing the gelman filters at
the mini-tower. Swap the 2-d handar and 6m csat at the
mini-tower.
Weather at site: Foggy all the way up to turn off to MRS from
peak-to-peak. Sunny at the site with periods of misty clouds.
Tower was right near the edge of where the fog ended. Sunny
along the divide.
---------
Misc Notes:
* there is a dark-eyed junco nest on the way from the 26m tower
to the mini-tower. it is only about 2 feet off the trail so
an alternate route should probably be used.
* Checked the pressue on the N2 tank--was at 1900 psi (lost 1000 psi
in 4 days). is this too much??
---------
~9:30am at site
* setup the guy wires for the 2-d handar.
* moved the csat from 1.5m up to near 6m.
* couldn't find the metal piece to connect the handar to the pipe. had
to use the one which was already being used.
* handar wiring:
chan1 High -- GReen wire, blue foil
chan1 Low -- black wire, blue foil
chan1 grnd -- bare wire
(there is an additional wire which connects chan1 low-ground)
chan2 High -- white wire, green foil
chan2 Low -- black wire, green foil
chan2 grnd -- bare wire
red foil (power)
12V (#2) -- red wire
5V -- black wire
bare wire (not connected to anything)
** NOTE: the handar data appear to be having problems...while i was
tightning one of the guy wires the one on the opposite side released...this
caused the handar stand to fall over and the handar hit the ground (damn!).
therefore the arms might be out of alignment and causing the low data
signal.
* changed the gelman filters at at the mini-tower. (note: all the filters
in the tool backpack should be thrown away).
58: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 23-Jun-2003 12:20:14 MDT, site visit on Friday, June 20th (T-seed, SpB, RM, T/J)
Friday June 20th Visit:
------------------------
At the site : T-seed, SpB, RM, T/J.
Purpose of visit: Finish setting up power to the E robot site.
Change N2 at tower. Figure out what to do about the sonics.
put back up the lightning diffuser.
Weather at site: Sunny in the morning. As we were putting
up the lightning rod there was a dark cloud just East of
the tower. A few rumbles of thunder. It was intermittent
rain/clouds thoughout the day.
---------
Misc Notes:
** fixed the wheel on Duanes gas cart.
** Russ and gang had problems getting good sat lock for the GPS.
---------
* The N2 tank was replaced (pressure at ~2000psi). Check pressure next
time there.
* Downloaded all the logger data (just before the rain started)...the

since nwt030528.182838 is missing chan206 and it's a short file
I moved that file to my directory...it's now:
611856 May 28 12:39 /home/staff/sburns/nwt030528.182838.problemfile
I can move it back after the processing is done.
3. per andrews suggestion I manually blocked out some times near the
problem time...I did this in Splus as:
a <- dget("/home/staff/aturnip/results/Data.times/DT.may21.31.03")
dim(a)

dput(a,"/home/staff/aturnip/results/Data.times/DT.may21.31.03")
Did the same thing for PT and WT files..ie,
> a <- dget("/home/staff/aturnip/results/Data.times/PT.may21.31.03")
> a[367:369,] <- F
> dput(a,"/home/staff/aturnip/results/Data.times/PT.may21.31.03")

> b[367:369,] <- F
> dput(b,"/home/staff/aturnip/results/Data.times/WT.may.21.31.03")
4. after doing this copied fluxcalcs.csh to fluxcalcs_notime.csh...where
I commented out the calls to find the times. Re-ran this. So far there
are no errors:

Tuesday June 17th Visit:
------------------------
At the site : T-seed, SpB, RM, BB, T/G/J.
Purpose of visit: Finish moving the tower sections to the E robot site.
Put action-packers, batteries, and power lines at/to the robot sites.
Change N2 at tower. Figure out what to do about the sonics.
Weather at site: Sunny when we arrived at ~9am. Clouded up fairly
early and was overcast till just after lunch when a fairly intense
rain/grappel storm struck. Thunder and lightning.
Caused the power to go out (momentarily) and upper breaker popped.
---------
Misc Notes:
** The N2 cylinder we moved out there was low. This will need to be done
again! (this might explain why a full one was moved down to CU).
---------
~8:30 AM - suburban left from settlers park. Andrew drove up with
David.
* ran an extention cord from Deans tower to the West Robot Tower.
* switched N2 cylinders (should do this again next week since the one
we switched in has only ~500 psi).
* moved and set up the East Robot Tower.
* moved batteries and action-packers out to the robot towers.
* a power line also runs out to the East robot tower.
* re-zeroed the licor 6262. (note: we are running out of room
to make this adjustment).
* Discussed what to do with the sonics...will plan to swap the
6m handar with the 1.5m csat. Then add the bowling sonic to
the 26m tower at around a 6m ht. This will allow for some comparison
between the mini-tower and 26m tower at 6m. The ati can also be moved
to a lower location.
* the cr21x was put into a box and can be used with Bowlings sonic + used
for logging the signal from the laser system.
54: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Fri 13-Jun-2003 08:13:10 MDT, Site Visit on Friday, June 13th (T-seed, SpB, RM, BB, T/G/J)
Friday June 13th Visit:
------------------------
At the site : T-seed, SpB, RM, BB, T/G/J.
Purpose of visit: Move the tower sections to robot sites (select robot sites).
Set up the tent. Try to figure out why chan204 (was chan202) is losing
data. Try to download new program to CNR logger.
Weather at site: Arrived in early morning. Thunder and lightening just after lunch.
Caused the power to go out (momentarily) and breakers popped while we were
setting up the tent.
---------
Misc Notes:
** downloaded the PCMCIA data from 6/10 on the way up here.
---------
~6:30 AM - met the MRS shuttle in instaar parking lot.
~8:30 AM - suburban left from settlers park.
* downloaded the PCMCIA data from 6/10:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 1278 Jun 13 07:29 mrs_030610.dat
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 608626 Jun 13 07:34 mrs_030610b.dat
not sure why but 2 files were created since the download process
seemed to stop halfway through.
* removed the PowerChute software from the quacker:
[root@quacker ups_powerchute_plus]# rpm -e PowerChutePlus-4.5.3
not sure if this will make a difference, but no need to have this since there
is no cable attached.
* tried what campbell recommended to get past the security code in the CNR
cr23x logger (see prev logbook entry). At first this did not appear to
work...but after disconnecting the logger from the CS I/O port it worked.
I'm not sure if disconnecting it helped or not. From now on the CNR logger
should be storing 5-min avgs in the logger data files.
* removed sections off of the NCAR tower (everyone helped with this).
* picked out the location of the robot West Tower. This is:
lat: 40 deg 1.972' 0" long: -105 deg 32.938' 0"
* moved the tower sections to the robot West location. tried to level
the tower (this still needs a bit of cleaning up).
* set up the tent.
* picked out the location of the robot East Tower.
* after stopping/starting the quacker chan204 seemed to start working
ok, but chan207 started losing data pts (eg, nwt030613.192717). This
indicates that the data dropout problem is probably not related to
the chan204 logger/serial cable/etc.
* the quacker rebooted (not on purpose) and then both channels appeared
to be working ok.
53: data system, Site CU 26m Tower, Fri 13-Jun-2003 08:00:15 MDT, Power Outage on June 12th.
There was a brief (7 seconds?) power outage on June 12th.
From the quacker logs:
Jun 12 12:18:30 quacker apmd[965]: Now using Battery Power
Jun 12 12:18:37 quacker apmd[965]: Now using AC Power
Jun 12 12:18:37 quacker apmd[965]: Charge: * * * (100% 3:20)
Top and bottom breakers appear to be working ok (ie, s3.slow
and h2o.kr).
52: data system, Site CU 26m Tower, Thu 12-Jun-2003 15:28:56 MDT, CNR Data Logger Problem
Talked to Craig Knox at Campbell Sci about the
"*D failed. Check security code" error message
when trying to change the program on the CNR logger.
He said to check the security status of the program with
Edlog. goto "Options" ---> "Program Security".
lev 1-2-3 should all be zeros.
(I did this and everything was already set to zero).
Since this doesn't seem it will help the other suggestion
was to power cycle the logger. then, as the logger is coming
up hit "*C", then "0000", then "A-key" (maybe *A?). Hopefully,
this will clear out any security settings.

Some of these files have data which are averaged down to 1/2 values.
There are now 5-min data available for most of the loggers (error in CNR
program needs to be fixed) and most will be 5-min for June. Soil logger
is set to be 10-min values.
Also, in early May (2nd May) all the logger times were checked and set
to be MST. All these files have the time stamp in MST. The location of
the time stamp (at the end of the data period) was not considered in
processing these data.

Tuesday June 10th Visit:
------------------------
At the site : SpB.
Purpose of visit: Flip the breaker for the lower power box. Haul up some batteries
from ATD. Try to figure out why chan202 is losing data.
Weather at site: Arrived in early afternoon. Towering q's. Turned to rain and
thunder at about 3:30pm.
---------
Misc Notes:
** Brought up 4 deep-cycle batteries from ATD (they are in trailer).
** downloaded the PCMCIA data on the way up here (swapped out the card).
** andrew was going to check for the power cable and new breakers (after talking
to kurt at ATD). don't recall the name of the store he was going to. he
was also going to stop by Army/Navy store to look at tents.
---------
~10:30 AM - met at CU to decide what to do for the day (suburban).
~11:30-12:30, at NCAR ATD.
1:00 AM - arrived at the site.
* stopped at MRS and downloaded MRS logger data.
* Went out and reset the lower breaker.
* Checked loggers at the N Canopy Tower...the times and dates on these
loggers were all messed up. Downloaded these data and reset the times.
Here are the times found (note synced PC to GPS time before
reseting logger times):

* then restarted the data system (it might be easier to edit the files while
logged into russter instead of at the quacker).
* this did not seem to fix the problem...ie:

Thursday June 5th Visit:
------------------------
At the site : T-seed, SpB.
Purpose of visit: Put back in our LiCor 6262. Switched ch200 (UC cr23x) from
the direct serial cable back to the short-haul modem. Power the fast cr23x logger
(near the top of the tower) with a battery/charger system in case of power outages.
Also, cleaned the krypton hygrometer.
Weather at site: Graupel and near-freezing temperatures. The precip let
up in the afternoon. Clouds of fog and mist moving up the mts from below.
Upslope flow on and off at the tower.
---------
Misc Notes:
** Brought up 2 cylinders of CO_2 and 2 cylinders of N2. Brought 3
empty cylinders back to CU and 1 cylinder of Hydrogen.
** no download of the PCMCIA data.
** talk to gas people at CU to find out how long it will take to get
liquid Nitrogen delivered to MRS (keep out near the observatory--check
with Steve S. at MRS about this).
---------
~9:00 AM - met at CU to load cylinders and drive to site (suburban).
10:00 AM - arrived at the site.
* Removed the loaner LiCor and re-installed the CU Li6262 which they
cleaned and shipped back to us. Zeroed our Li6262 for CO_2 and h2o.
* checked the amps on the power box...andrew has these numbers. They
ranged from 0.5-3 Amps for each circuit. (I think each circuit is
20 Amps).
* Moved the battery from the dendrometer station (1/2 to N Canopy Tower)
to the tower and put this on the 9m platform with a charger. This
battery/charger was then connected to the "FAST" cr23x which is up near
the top of the tower. The "nox" data line was used to connect the power
since nox did not have any signal on it (floating voltage).
* removed the big black box and pump (Teresa Campos) from the 9m platform.
* replaced the dessicant on the profile system (liCor 6251).
* fixed up the small "bridge" going over como creek so water flows beneath
it.
* cleaned the lens on the Krypton Hygrometer (need to loosen the bolts and
then swipe with DI water and qtips). (note: need to do this when the
signal gets weak)...a check of the signal on 6/6 shows it to be much
stronger...around 3000mV)
* switched the UC cr23x logger (chan 200) from a direct serial connection to
one which uses the short-haul modem. In the quacker box this modem is
labeled as "chan 204" but it is actually chan200. Hopefully this will clear
up some data losses we were seeing when the weather gets warm. As of the
morning of 6/6 all channels are running at the correct sample rates, ie:

47: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 03-Jun-2003 17:21:15 MDT, site visit on Tuesday, June 3 (RM,LSD,SpB,Tom,Greg,&John)
Tuesday June 3rd Visit:
----------------------
At the site: RM, LSD, SpB, GM, Tom, & John.
Purpose of visit: Nothing urgent. Data system seemed ok (though chan202
is still dropping samples). Change the battery/charger at the N
Canopy tower. Also need to take some measurements of the sections at
the NCAR tower.
Weather at site: a bit cooler than yesterday. sunny with cumulus clouds.

Misc Notes:
** Creek flow has started to subside a bit. Trail has a small
stream running down it.
** maiden voyage of the suburban.
---------
8:15 AM,
* some met at CU lab. picked up others at settlers park.
~8:30 AM - Drove to site (laura drove).
~10 AM -- arrived at the site
* added a screw to the plug for the fan in the ec pump
box at the base of the tower
* downloaded data from the N canopy tower:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 166666 Jun 3 10:08 mrs6_3.dat*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 216100 Jun 3 10:17 soil6_3.dat*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 258681 Jun 3 10:13 tc6_3.dat*
note: still need to take the pcmcia card to the MRS PC
to get the data off the pcmcia card.
* switched the battery and charger at the N canopy tower
to the action-packer box. needed to unplug everything
and then reinstall the programs afterwards. Also, needed
to update the times on these loggers.
* helped Russ pick out some possible sites for the robots.
Here are the details:

Subject: Robot Locations...
Hi,
yesterday Russ and I walked around the site and started to look for
potential robot locations...we started with the upwind site (West
site) and picked a few possible locations. I put these on a map you
can download (either pdf of PostScript format):
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/plots/robot.pdf
http://urquell.colorado.edu/sean/plots/robot.ps
the SF6 line on the map is where WSU released SF6 last summer. the
red stars are the possible locations Russ and I selected...we also
considered a pt due west of the CU tower (essentially between the 2
red stars). Also note: there is a trail which runs pretty close to
the Robot West, pt1. (I'll eventually get the lat/long of the trails
and add these to the map as well.) The southern pt (Robot West, pt2)
was considered since it was on a line with the CU and USGS towers...we
picked the other location (Robot West, pt1) to align with the
prevelant wind direction at 21m which is near 290 deg (especially at
night). The wind directions lower down (ie, in the canopy) are
slightly off from this direction and Andrew and Dean may have a better
idea about the in-canopy wind directions...
I guess the bottom line is---do we want to have the robots aligned
upstream of the wind (above or below canopy) or in a line with the
USGS and CU towers...once we have finalized the West point I suppose
we select the East point based on this (ie, so the West Robot-CU-East
Robot are in a near straight line??).
If you have any input on this let us know and we can finalize these
locations...
SpB.
* made some measurements of the tower sections at the NCAR tower. Here's
what I came up with (should re-check these):

Monday June 2nd Visit:
----------------------
At the site: SpB.
Purpose of visit: Top level breaker had popped...chan 201 (upper level
sonic and li6262) was all RIPs. Since i was going to be out there
I decided to also download all the logger data from the 26m Tower.
Bought a plug from McGuckins to connect the fan for the li6262 pump
box.
Weather at site: Nice mild day. Some afternoon clouds but no thunder
and lightning.
---------
Misc Notes:
** Creeks are still flowing strongly...
---------
~8:00 AM,
* checked the data from home---noticed that chan 201 was all RIPs so
planned to go up to the site.
~9:00 AM - Drove to site (spb drove).
~10:30 AM
* downloaded cr10x MRS data file to MRS PC and transferred it back to CU, ie:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 967524 Jun 2 10:44 mrs_030530.dat
(this was the file i downloaded from the logger last Friday)
~11:00 AM - arrived at the site.
* reset the top level breaker. restarted the adam on the quacker...it took
a little while for chan200 (UC logger) and chan202 to start back up again.
It seemed when i polled the chan200 from russter with rserial it started
up again (might not be related).
* restared the li6262 (should be off since it's on the top level power box).
* connected a plug to the wires for the fan which is inside the box of the
li6262 pump. this fan is now plugged in.
* downloaded the following logger data:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 47980 Jun 2 12:34 cnr6_2.dat*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 873367 Jun 2 13:07 prf6_2.dat*

-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 86 Jun 2 13:26 nctc6_2b.dat*
* noticed that the cnr logger data were still 1/2 hr avgs...tried to
re-upload the program to the logger and it gave the following error:
Error Message from SWF log (pc208) when trying to upload program to CNR logger:
"06/02/03 12:42:47", W 23Xrad *D failed. Check security code.
"06/02/03 12:42:48", W 23Xrad no echo of End command.
need to figure out if this is a logger problem or a programming error.
* looked for the davit at the ncar tower and didn't find it (still some snow there).
* replaced the dessicant in all the campbell boxes at the 26m tower and also
the quacker box---still need to replace dessicant at N Canopy tower (and licor
boxes?).
* found out that flies like the hang out in these boxes!

Friday May 30th Visit:
----------------------
At the site: SpB.
Purpose of visit: Power appeared to go out at 3 and 3:30 am early in
the morning----therefore the loaned Li6262 is off...and it looked like
the bottom breaker popped (o3.slow). Also, downloaded some logger data
and loaded a modified program (5 min instead of 30-min) into the UC
cr23x data logger.
Weather at site: A clear sunny day (warm) with some t-storm clouds building
in the late afternoon. thunder in late afternoon.
---------
Misc Notes:
** Creeks are full of water...Barker Res. has water going over the spillway.
** Ran into Dean working on the USGS tower with a volunteer helper...they were
dragging around some cylinders.
** Duane was at the site---i parked down near the sourdough trail lot.
---------
~9:00 AM,
* Checked the data and noticed from the quacker logs that the power had
gone off during the night:
May 30 03:03:54 quacker apmd[951]: Now using Battery Power
May 30 03:03:54 quacker apmd[951]: Battery: * * * (100% 3:20)

May 30 03:34:59 quacker apmd[951]: Charge: * * * (100% 3:20)
* also, o3.slow was below zero which indicates the bottom breaker is popped.
~9:30 AM - Drove to site (spb drove).
10:30 AM - arrived at the site.
* Both bottom and top breaker had popped for the upper power box. Reset these.
* Repowered the Li6262 on the tower.
* Re-connected the fan in the quacker box. (doesn't seem to move much air
but better than nothing).
* Downloaded the following logger data (see
/home/staff/sburns/data_loggers_download/) :
-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 113190 May 30 11:34 uc5_30.dat*

* Sent a new program to the UC cr23x. (i couldn't do this on May 20th
since the laptop was giving me all kinds of problems).
* N Canopy logger data all look ok.
* Replaced one of the Gelman filters (i was a bit confused since some
filters had metal fittings at the inlet/outlet and some did not...andrew
said the ones with are for the CU system, without are for USGS system).
The one I replaced was at 10m (near the platform)...still need to do
the rest.
* was back to the trailer (about to leave) when i noticed o3.slow was giving
negative values....logging into the quacker there was a 4-second power
glitch, ie:
May 30 15:26:29 quacker apmd[951]: Now using Battery Power
May 30 15:26:33 quacker apmd[951]: Now using AC Power
this tripped the bottom breaker. Went back out and reset this breaker.
there was some lightening in the area, but i'm not sure if this was
the problem or not...
42: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Fri 30-May-2003 08:30:27 MDT, site visit on Wed, May 28th (T-seed)
On Wed May 28th Andrew went up to throw the bottom breaker on the tower.
Note: check o3.slow to find out if this breaker has popped or not...values
should be around 1000 (if negative the breaker popped).

Just got back to the trailer - flipped the bottom breaker at ~ 3:50.
Channel 200 stills seems out, but the profiler seems OK and the o3.slow
just turned on (it has about a 20 min. warm-up time). One more thing -
before I flipped the breaker - I went out to the North canopy access tower
and checked the voltage on the battery running the loggers. It was at 14
V, so I think that's a real good sign that those loggers are still running
and haven't lost power. I didn't take the time to check them with the
laptop (left it here at the trailer). Not sure what to do about channel
200 - it may be that the battery is depleted enough that it needs some
recharging time before it starts running well again. we'll just watch it
and see if anything needs to be done in the next few days.
Snow is melting at warp 9 (big difference since Monday). Reservoir at
Nederland is full and water going over spillway into Boulder Creek - which
is rampaging. Como Creek is going everywhere and my feet are very wet and
cold. Fortunately, I never faceplanted on any of my postholes. I'm headed
straight home - talk to you tomorrow (email or at
Larry's seminar). More moose tracks too.

41: instrument problems, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 28-May-2003 14:45:45 MDT, ATI Sonic Working Again...
May 28th Morning (~11am).
Started up the ATI using mini-com as per Gordons e-mail. Notes:
1. stop data system and then comment out the ati channel on
russter (channed_config).
2. use minicom to communicate with the ATI. if the ati is on
channel 206 then this would be,
minicom USB6
To communicate with the ati the minicom ettings need to be
changed to 9600,E,7,1 (even parity). (I think this is option
"R" after doing ctrl-A followed by P.) Note that help is
ctrl-A, followed by plain Z.
3. Now that one can communicate with the ATI (enter ESCAPE at
the main menu) the parity needs to be changed to NONE. after
done with changing this then exit from the ATI communication
and quit without saving from minicom.
for more details about this see Gordons e-mail (logbook entry #27).
40: Dean's profiler, Site UGSG 33m Tower, Wed 28-May-2003 10:12:30 MDT, Startup
May 26th (see other logbook entry for other details)
Things done on Dean's profiler:
(1) Replaced tubing from manifold to glass volumes with 3/8" Dekabon.
(2) Glass volumes - have 2 repaired on campus. Line 6 had no volume (just a tube connecting them). I cracked the stem on Line 14, but still managed to connect the fitting (it could be leaking though). Will replace these lines with the repaired volumes on next visit.
(3) Started up the system at 1:30 PM. Seemed to be working OK - logger was opening valves every 30 sec. and flow rates seemed OK. didn't have a laptop to check how things were working (or logger clock, etc.). Only about 400 psi of N2 left and less CO2 cal. gas. Last note - seemed like Licor was reading negative CO2, (i.e., -368 ppm) as if the sample and reference cells were switched.
Left it running.
39: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 28-May-2003 10:00:23 MDT, site visit
Site Visit - May 26th
A. Turnipseed
Weather : Beautiful day - thunderstorms built up in the afternoon. Looks like our moose has returned - big tracks along the path.
--------------------------------------------------------------
7:30-8:30 AM: Bottom and top breakers had popped the day before (thunderstorm??). Reset breakers and the Li6262 (still the loaner which shuts off). Went back to trailer - Fast data logger (channel 201) was still not working. Restarted the data - then channels 200 and 201 were gone. After 5 min., channel 200 came back to life. After 15 min., channel 201 came back to life - no explanations.
9:30-11:00 AM: New target in fast O3 sensor. Remounted the ATI sonic at 21.5 m. Had checked to see that it was working at the trailer before re-mounting.
Then worked on Deans profiler (see other logbook entry).
Back at trailer at 2:00 PM - noticed that the ATI was not sending data properly. Is a serial communication problem - parity incompatibility - will need to dig out Gordon's email to use minicom to fix the problem.

Date: Wed, 14 May 2003 12:22:54 MDT
To: Sean Burns
From: turnipseed andrew a
Subject: Re: 16m windspeed...
The 16 m propvane (it is a vane) has been screwing up intermittently on
the wind speed for a long time (months, maybe years). Its not an oil fix.
My best guess is that it somehow builds up charge in the sensor and that
somehow kills the output voltage. If you go up and cycle the power (12V
DC) on the vane - it usually comes back and starts responding. I've left
it up there because the wind direction seems to be OK.
In fact - just had an idea on how to fix this - we could let the data
logger cycle the power on the vane when it gets a long string of null
values (or whatever values the vane spits out). I'll have to think about
the control part of it, but the data logger has a switched 12V that it can
turn on and off. It will just be a matter of programing the logger at
that point to control it.
We could also send it back to RM Young - but we have a 3rd propvane down
on campus that we should send back first - it had the same problems -
signal just "dropped out" on both the wind speed and direction. Its
upstairs somewhere - could send that one back and then switch it out with
the 16 m vane that's running.

From: "Sean Burns"
Subject: Bowling Phone Call...
Hi Andrew,
Dave Bowling called and I talked to him for about 1/2 hour....here our
my notes from our talk (i'll put these in the logbook)...i think you
already know about most all of these:
General:
--------
1. On June 30th we will need extra people to haul Laser and Robot
system out to the field.
2. He wanted to have everything setup and ready for installation prior
to them arriving on the 30th.
3. He is going to mail us a csat sonic this week.
Laser System:
-------------
1. Order a cylinder of 5% Ultra-pure Air + a regulator for this tank
that will allow for low-delivery flow rates (for laser system). In
addition we should have a tank of CO2-free air (not N2!) which they
can use to dilute the Ultra-pure tank. Dave is bringing along 8 cal
cylinders for the system....at any given time 5 cylinders will be
attached to the laser system.
2. Tent---should be near the main tower...best not to have a floor so
they can put supports into the ground. Within the tent will be a PC
to run the laser system...he asked if we can find a table for the PC
and chairs to sit on. Also, since they plan on working at night, a
light for the tent.
3. Big pump for laser (should be about 100' away from the tent since
it is noisy). Need to have a pallate for the pump (for leveling) and
a tarp to keep the rain off of it (need to keep open for cooling).
Probably best to have the exhaust from the pump downhill of the tower.
(note: can't scrub the exahuast since the laser is sensitive to
pressure constrictions at outlet).
4. Liquid Nitrogen. Need about 10L 2 times per week. (might be less
than this). I recall you talked to steve at MRS about the deliveries
going to MRS...was that the plan?
5. Need 2 differential analog inputs on a datalogger for laser
diagnostic signals. The signal is +/- 10V but should be able to work
with a CR-23X (since laser is a campbell instrument).
Robot System:
-------------
1. Robots will be DC powered.
2. Need to select robot sites (E and W of main tower). I think Russ
wants to be in on this, right?
3. Need to get power out to the tower sites.
4. Two Sections of scaffolding tower to mount the robots and keep them
off the ground. A way to get the inlets to treetops (pvc tubing?).
5. We supply 2 tanks of CO2 to go with the robots.

Hi everyone,
We're coming to Colorado in 5 weeks, so we need to get moving. Last
time I posed several questions, and got answers to most things. The
latest version of the summer plans thing is attached. We no longer
plan to interface with the existing profiler system.
There is a proposed deliniation of responsibilities for some tasks
like solar power and structures to mount things on. Andy T and Russ,
please take a look and make sure you can provide everything on the
list under your name (or tell me now if you can't and we'll figure
something else out).
Andy T and Andy S, please coordinate as necessary to make things work
- you'll each need details from the other I'm sure.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

hi andy,
gearing up for the trip here. i have a few uncertainties.
1) you were checking on some sections of tower...do you have a
structure that we can mount these autosamplers to? they are 1 50 lbs
and need to be upright (i have attached photos). whomever will be
servicing them (swapping flasks, changing reagents, etc) will be most
appreciative if they are mounted at lab bench height. in the past we
have used scaffolding tower material , our own frame built out of
unistrut, and sheds. if you do not have anything for mounting, please
let me know so i can plan accordingly.
2) we will need one cylinder for each autosampler of ~400ppm. can you
provide this or give me contact information to a sugge sted source so
i can get the ordering going?
thanks, andy, looking forward to meeting you!

Dave and all
A few comments - also include some comments on Deans reply.
Starting Date ; no problems on end of May - you just may realize you
could be setting up in the snow. Last few years have been dry and
meltoff occurred early. Snow was gone by last days of May. However,
the year we approached average snowpack (1999) - snow lasted into
mid-June.
So far we're at ~70% of average - another dry year, but as Russ keeps
telling me - El Nino is supposed to give us a dry mid-winter and a
wet spring - so its too early to speculate. One other note - I may
be out of town for a long (3-4) day weekend after May 27. But should
be around when everyone first gets here.
On Dean's comment about NCAR coming. No concerns here. Meeting
yesterday concerning the inititiative that funded last fall's
study. No plans to come back this summer as far as I can tell.
Jeilun Sun (who headed the study) just wants to work on data
analysis.
Dave's questions :
(1) Logger program - I'll send that shortly - having 2 offices I
always find that what I need is at the other office.
(2)(3) I have to refresh myself on how many control ports are on a
CR10x (which runs the profiler). We are using 4 to control the
valves. At the very least, you could connect to the 4 control ports
and then use their values (0 or 5V) to deduce the level. Have to
think a bit more about how to synchronize - but can't believe its too
difficult. I'll have to look for the electronics drawings - they
were made by an undergrad who's long gone, but I think we still have
copies of these.
Pressure transients and flow rates. This will be much easier to see
once I find a picture of the flow system - but will try to describe
it anyway. I think Dean is right in that the flow through the main
lines should be kept pretty high so that you don't condense water in
them (especially on high inlets that then lay on the ground going
back to the IRGA). However, the sampling flow rate through the IRGA
could (and probably should) be reduced. It is not a 3-way valve -
the main lines are being continously pumped by a main pump. There
are tees on the main lines that lead to a solenoid mainfold (2-way
valves) which select which level gets sampled to the irga. the main
flows are controlled by rotameters (simply a needle valve) and you
can see the flow drop about 30% when a level is sampled (because now
a second pump is pulling that line as well). Dean said that the
sampling flow rate through the irga was about 1 Lpm - seems awfully
high to me. Seems like we need less of pump on this end and should
flow this around 200-400 sccm - maybe be using the TDL pump. the
downside to slower flow is slower flushing time, but most of the
tubing is (or could be) 1/8" and should flush in just a few seconds
(< 5) even with a much slower sampling flow rate. I would think that
lowering the sampling flow rate should greatly reduce the pressure
transient, because the Irga pressure (~ 580 mbar, from Dean) seems
awfully low relative to what is probably in the main lines/glass
reservoirs (probably closer to ambient - 700 mbar). The profiler on
the CU tower (another independent profiling system - the one you used
Dave) works more like this - it has a sampling flow of ~ 350 sccm and
you don't see really bad pressure transients - its also easier to
match the pressure during zero's and span's as well - you don't have
to pull a high flow rate off of the cylinders.
Sample heights - My profile system on the CU tower has an inlet a 0.5
m and at 1 m. Can send you some of the data from those 2 levels
(plus others) if you wish. But I agree with Dean - the difference
between 1 and 0.5 m is not as high as I would have expected. It sort
of looks like the lowest 5-6 m actually get reasonable well-mixed at
night - probably due to a relatively strong drainage flow along the
ground. There's a sharp drop above 6 m accompanied by a minimum in
wind speed and temperature at that height.
So - I'll try to gather some drawings and logger code and send them
along shortly.
cheers

Hi all,
Here's an updated version of the sampling plan. There is a list
of questions at the end that need to be addressed by you Colorado
people. Please take a look and respond to those questions which
you think you can answer.
There is also a description of details of the profile system that
I got from a few phone calls. Dean and Andy T, please look that

35: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 21-May-2003 12:28:03 MDT, site visit on Tuesday, May 20th (SpB and T-seed)
May 20th Visit:
--------------
At the site : T-seed, SpB.
Purpose of visit: Upper instruments (csat) were not working (needed to check
this). Power back on the Li6262 (the loaner turns off if it loses power).
Power appeared to go down on the afternoon of May 18th.
Try to figure out why chan202 is dropping out data samples. Update the
campbell programs to store 5 or 10-min avgs (instead of every 15 min).
Switch the CO2 ref tank.
Weather at site: Calm and foggy. Rime and ice covered much of the tower
and instruments (and trees). See photos. As it warmed up ice and water
were dripping from the tower and trees. The sun never fully broke through.
---------
Misc Notes:
** dragged 3 empty cylinders from the tower (including the hydrogen
tank). Brought 4 (or 5?) cylinders from the trailer back down to
CU in Andrews truck.
** download the PCMCIA data using the MRS computer both before and
after the trip.
** the gateway laptop got quite wet/unhappy so it is now in the lab
where it is working fine (as of morning of 5/21).
** road was clear enough to drive up to the trailer.
---------
~9:00 AM - met at CU to drive to site (t-seed drove).
* drove up to the tower (lock combo=?).
* downloaded the MRS CR10x data from the pcmcia card at the MRS
building (mrs_030513.dat).
10:00 AM - arrived at the site.
* Breaker popped for the upper power box. This breaker usually does
not pop (so a bit strange). Andrew noted that the middle breaker should
be used for heavy-load devices (such as pumps) since this circuit does
not have the GCFCI (?) protection.
* Repowered the Li6262 on the tower.
* Andrew checked out the situation at the USGS shack (strain relief for
the dekebon tubing). He pulled out the broken glass reservior (the
glass shop should be able to repair this).
* downloaded logger data from all the loggers except for the NCAR TCs
and the UC logger. The files I downloaded are:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 65372 May 20 10:20 cnr5_20.dat*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 43286 May 20 10:35 met5_20.dat*

-rwxrwxr-x 1 sburns 324883 May 20 13:33 tc5_20.dat*
* the program on the logger was replaced with a 5-min avg
program for: CNR, MET, PRF, SOIL, and MRS loggers. A
10-min avg program was put onto the TC logger.
* the gateway was not happy about getting a bit wet and when i
tried to download the UC logger data it would not boot. It
seems ok now.
* Andrew changed the CO2 ref cylinder at the base of the tower.
* we rebooted the quacker and chan202 seemed to be working better.
34: equipment purchases, Site none, Fri 16-May-2003 16:18:58 MDT, ATI Sonic Dropped Off at ATI.
On Wed May 14th I dropped off the "dead" sonic at ATI.
Gary Zimmerman was not there, but I gave it to Carl (?).
He put it on the rack at the lab there and was not able

32: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Thu 15-May-2003 10:40:34 MDT, site visit on Tuesday, May 13th (SpB and T-seed)
May 13th Visit:
--------------
At the site : T-seed, SpB.
Purpose of visit: Power back on the Li6262 (the loaner will turn off if
it loses power) and re-attach the control cable. Check the ATI logger
which has been having problems since the weekend. Check the status of
N canopy tower loggers after the weekend power outages. Try to figure
out why chan202 is dropping out data samples.
Weather at site: Snowy and windy up near the divide. Sometimes a band of
wind/snow/clouds would pass by the tower, but other times it was sunny
and fairly warm. There was one impressive thunderclap. The snow is starting
to get fairly soft in spots.
---------
Misc Notes:
** dragged the freshly calibrated tank of CO_2 out to the tower. (we decided
that the current tank had enough to last another 1-2 weeks).
** MRS computer room was locked so couldn't download the PCMCIA data
(logger data are stored on the gateway/zip disk).
** the road to C1 was plowed while we were up there (see photos).
** logger data downloaded: MET, MRS, TCs (at N Can.), Soil
---------
~9:00 AM - met at NCAR FL to drive to site (spb drove).
* lots of cars at MRS (snow survey)
10:40 AM - arrived at the site.
* Powered on and reconnected the control cable for the Li6262 on the tower.
* Replaced the Mg[ClO4] dessicant trap for the Li6251 (profiler). (Need to
bring back in the used dessicant trap...magnesium perchlorate)
* To check the chan202 problem we tried bypassing the short-haul modem and
connect directly from the met logger (cr23x) serial port to the quacker.
this did not seem to work at all. Here's the e-mail from Andrew to Gordon
with some details:
Date: Wed, 14 May 2003 09:29:07 MDT
To: Gordon MacLean , Sean Burns
From: turnipseed andrew a
Subject: chan202... (fwd)
Gordon
Seems like one of our data logger channels is having some strange problems
- see if you have any ideas.
Channel 202 (a data logger going through short hauls at 1 Hz) starting
missing some data last week. Suspiciously, the missing data started at
nearly the exact same time that Sean was trying out minicom on russter.
Now we know we weren't doing minicom right - had not shut off the data, so
that the serial ports were already open and in use. However, we never
attempted to communicate with channel 202 and really haven't done
anything to affect that channel. If you look at rserial - everything looks
great for a while - then suddenly the data will look like a missing bit
somewhere (2 or more lines slammed together) - then data will stop
entirely for a few seconds. Sometimes you have to wait a while to see
the missed data.
Anyway - yesterday we tried a few things (1) checked the data logger end
of things - the data logger seemed perfectly fine. (2) tried rebooting
the quacker (both reboot and a complete shutdown) - seemed like the
channel worked better after the shutdown/reboot, but then the current
files are showing data dropouts (see data_stats below in Sean's message).
(3) we tried bypassing the short haul modems and hooking up a direct RS232
connection - but got nothing. Could be a bad cable, but I had used that
cable to communicate with the logger through a Windows PC (to load a new
logger program). So any ideas - the fact that this problem started when
we first (incorrectly) tried to use minicom seems awfully suspiciious, but
not a dead giveaway.
Also - as Sean may have mentioned - the ATI sonic was dead - I think it
got water into one of its connectors during the snowstorm last weekend and
shorted out.
thanks for any suggestions.

SpB.
* Andrew put in a new target for the ozone sensor. Inlet for slow ozone sensor
(big blue box) had come unattached---it was reconnected. This probably happened
due to the heavy snow last Saturday.
* We tested running the ATI by connecting directly to the gateway at the base
of the tower (instead of going to the quacker). We initially were able to
recieve some data, but then it stopped working at all. Later in the day we
went up the tower and plugged directly into the ATI--this didn't work either.
We took down the ATI to return to ATI for testing (note: i took it to ati
on Wed, 5/14). Andrew suspects that water/snow might have gotten into the
connector and shorted out the board...?
* Downloaded and checked all data at the N Canopy Tower---everything worked
fine. Logger times had drifted only 30-60 seconds (I reset the times).
There was no water in the green battery box.
31: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Fri 09-May-2003 13:02:55 MDT, site visit on Thursday, May 8th (SpB and T-seed)
May 8th Visit:
--------------
At the site : T-seed, SpB.
Purpose of visit: Replace the Li6262 with the loaner from LiCor. Check
the status of the soil logger at N canopy tower (it wasn't getting any
power when i was there last week), calibrate a tank of the co2 gas.
Weather at site: Spitting snow and windy at times. Other times it was sunny
but temp was around freezing. the weather cleared up at the right times
(ie, while we were replacing the LiCor).
---------
5/12 update: andrew took a closer look at the data problem with chan202...it
looks like the problems started around the time we tried to use "minicom".
---------
Misc Notes:
** tried to use 'minicom' to talk to the ATI sonic and/or Jieluns CR23x.
** the controller for the li6262 is currently disconnected since it
looked like there were problems with the met logger (channel 202).
---------
~9:00 AM - met at NCAR FL to drive to site (andrew drove).
* tried to use 'minicom' from NCAR computer to talk to the campbell loggers.
* downloaded the MRS CR10x data from the pcmcia card at the MRS building.
10:30 AM - arrived at the site.
* Swapped out the Li6262 on the tower. We figured out why the box was difficult
to close---the end of the box was hitting the flow controller. be careful
not to pinch wires when closing the box.
* andrew put in a new target for the ozone sensor.
* figured out the power problem at the N Canopy Tower. The soil data logger
(cr23x) was in a state where we could not establish a steady connection
with it---as a result we had to redownload the program and lost all the
data from last month. We reset all the clocks on the 3 N Canopy loggers
to be MST.
* channel 202 (met logger) looked like it had dropouts and was missing
samples after we returned to the trailer...ie:

* we manually reset the met logger to try and fix this---whenever the met
logger is reset the valves for the co2 cal gas are left OPEN till the
next cal period (4 hours). Need to be careful of this!!
* back at the trailer we calibrated the new co2 cylinder...here are the steps
to do a calibration:
--set voltmeter on DC V, at 2.
1. put left valve on 0/span.
2. put middle valve on zero gas.
3. record T (switch on front of IRGA) and P (from voltmeter)
4. use the span adjustment to zero readout.
5. use T/P above with Splus to find V.span (see below).
6. switch middle valve to "span" and then adjust to make the
reading as V.span
7. switch left valve to "sample", record value from licor
panel (note: reading will be 1.542 should be used as co2=1542).
8. use this in fun.calc.co2 and find the true co2 value.
9. repeat 1-8.
* here are the results of the calibration (cal_co2_030508.dat):

Note: There are no soil flux data from the N. Canopy Tower since that data
logger didn't have any power when I arrived there.
Some of the logger data had problems...these were cleaned up with
matlab mfiles:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 2838 May 6 16:20 fix_uc_2003_04.m
Mostly the problems were due to errors in the time stamp. If there
are 2 data gaps within the time period then it was a bit difficult to
tell when the problem occurred.
The raw or original data files were saved as:

approximately correct (1pm).
29: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 05-May-2003 11:59:59 MDT, Site visit on Friday, May 2nd (SpB).
May 2nd Visit:
-----------------
At the site : SpB.
Purpose of visit: Download logger data and reset all logger clocks to
MST (leave at MST year-round). Also, install UPS software to monitor
power.
Weather at site: Cool and cloudy. Intermittent storms up at the divide, but
not too windy down on the tower. an occasional snowflake (or 3)
would make it down to the tower elev.
snow softened up toward the end of the day. less and less snow is
on the road.
---------
Misc Notes:
** never tried to run the UPS software at the site---it was getting late and
i didn't want to risk messing up the data system.
** the soil CR23-x at the N canopy tower needs to be checked and the box
which stores the deep-cycle batteries out there needs to be replaced.
** tried to download the data from the MRS pcmcia card, but the lab
was locked--need to bring this card next time and download before
going up to the site.
** I used my handheld GPS to set the gateway laptop clock to MST. . .compared
the GPS time with the time on russter and they were within 1-2 sec of
eachother.
---------
~10:00 AM - drive to site (spb drove).
installed the UPS software from Boulder before going up there...tried
to run it and it gave the same errors as with the PC in the lab (can't
communicate with the UPS). Details are in an e-mail sent to Gordon
and Andrew:

Subject: Powerchute on quacker...
Gordon,
fyi--I tried to get powerchute going on the quacker...it seems to be
giving me the same message as i was getting on the PC in the lab (ie,
"Could not communicate with device on /dev/ttyS0").
Here's my setup after doing: /usr/lib/powerchute/Config.sh
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRODUCT : PowerChute Plus for UNIX
DEDICATED TTY : /dev/ttyS0
UPS TYPE : Back-UPS
INSTALLING AS ROOT : TRUE
TCP/IP Installed : TRUE
RUN COMMAND FILES AS ROOT : TRUE
SEND EMAIL AS ROOT : TRUE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I called APC and they told me what was going on...apparently the
BACK-UPS 650 is shipped with the #940-0020 cable which doesn't work
with Powerchute Plus...however, powerchute plus will work with the
#940-0023A cable. the APC price of this cable is $39.99 (skew number
is AP9823--simple signaling cable) but the woman said she's seen
places on-line selling it for as low as $25.
She said that if we use the Powerchute business version it would work
with the #940-0020 serial cable and that this software could be
downloaded from the APC webpage (though i recall we had some troubles
when we tried to do this)...i'm going to try and download the
powerchute business edition and see if that works...if that doesn't
work, then we can buy the proper serial cable and use the powerchute
plus.
andrew, i'm getting a late start...looks like a nice day up there...

this happened after i had downloaded the TCs data logger, and was about
to download the soil logger. i covered the crack with a garbage bag and
the coil for the extension cord. this box needs to be replaced.
* the soil logger at the N Canopy tower was not getting power. I'm
not sure if this had anything to do with my cracking the power box.
the connections all seemed to be ok---and the laptop was recieving
power ok. (note: forgot the multimeter back at the trailer since
we were using this the prev friday for the co2 tank cals).

Andy,
I've got the ATI going. It was a parity problem.
Here's what I did, for future reference:
stop_adam
edited channed_config and commented out the entry for port 206
start_adam
On the quacker, then I used minicom to talk to the port:
minicom USB6
Once I changed minicom to 9600,E,7,1 (even parity) then
the data looked OK. I changed the parity to NONE on the sonic,
from one of the ATI menus that you get to by entering ESCAPE.
Under the first menu item on the main menu you can change things
like parity and baud rate.
After that, the quacker could talk to it.
(I did the stop_adam, edited channel_config, and then start_adam).
The 9600.7.7.1 entry in channel_config is defined in
$ASTER/config/sio_protocols. If you look there you'll see
that it is defined as parity=NONE (all of them are).
We could add one called something like 9600.E.7.7.1 for EVEN parity,
but I thought it was best to change the sonic, so that it is like
most other sensors. We've set up all our ATIs to be no parity.
So the entry in channel_config for the ATI is now 9600.8.8.1
I've created minicom configs so that you can talk to any of the
usb ports, 0-7, on the quacker with
minicom USBx
By default, minicom talks at 9600,N,8,1. For help, do ctrl-A,
followed by plain Z (it mentions that at the bottom of the screen).
ctrl-A followed by P brings up a menu to set the baud, parity and data bits.

26: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Tue 29-Apr-2003 11:07:45 MDT, site visit on April 21 (T-seed only)
On April 18th (friday late), breakers had popped. Both bottom and top breakers had popped. Caused loss of channels 200 and 201 over the weekend. Plus the pump on the profiler and the slow O3 data are missing.
Reflipped the breakers at ~ 11:30 AM on 21st.
also - new SECLOD target.
25: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Mon 28-Apr-2003 16:44:08 MDT, Site Visit on Friday, April 25 (T-seed and SpB)
April 25th Visit:
-----------------
At the site : T-seed, SpB.
Purpose of visit: Replace the deep-cycle battery for the mini-tower. Check
the ATI sonic (no data), install UPS software to monitor power, calibrate
a tank of the co2 gas (not urgent).
Weather at site: Clear skies with a few clouds, warm and sunny. Above
the clouds which were out over the plains. Still lots of snow up there, but
quite a bit melted while we were up there. Starting to see rocks and ground
along the powerline and road. No need to dig out the trailer door.
---------
Misc Notes:
** before going met with Gordon to talk about the UPS software and what we
need to install it (cable needs to be compatible with the UPS model number).
** took about 60 digital photos which will be on the urquell webpage.
---------
~9:00 AM - met at NCAR FL to drive to site (spb drove).
11:00 AM - arrived at the site.
* Brought the new campbell PCMCIA card to replace the one
which I lost---also brought the card from last week from which the
data had not yet been downloaded. Andrew went up on the snow-cat
with Duane--i formatted the new card and downloaded data from the
old card...the files ftp'ed back to urquell are:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 281672 Apr 25 10:21 030425a.dat (from old card)
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sburns 256908 Apr 25 15:45 030425b.dat (from Marks card)
* at the end of the day returned the PCMCIA card to Mark L.
* at the trailer we found the serial cable for the UPS...can't recall
the number on the cable, but it wasn't any of the numbers listed in the
powerchute documentation.
* The UPS at the tower is a Back-UPS 650. (This model was not recalled,
some were). For the tower UPS:
Model Number: BK650MC
Serial Number: PB0138323106
(need to check the UPS in the trailer).
* the ATI serial cable was disconnected in the quacker box (reason
why we weren't getting any ATI data). after reconnecting it there
were still some problems with the data on russter...however using the
laptop to check the data as they go into the quacker all looked ok.
The files modified on the quacker for the ati ingest are:
* The UPS serial cable was connected to the serial port on the quacker and
chan201 which was on the serial port was moved to to the edgeport usb hub.
The file modified on the quacker to take into account this change is:
1 cuff cuff 18108 Apr 25 12:27 /usr/local/cuff/src/adam/sio.c
to compile this program it was either:
"make sio.c" or "make sio" (one of these worked and one did not).
the line which was changed is:
"/dev/ttyUSB0", /* 200 */
/*
#define USB_201
*/
#ifdef USB_201
"/dev/ttyUSB1", /* 201 */
#else
"/dev/ttyS0", /* 201 */
#endif
to be:
"/dev/ttyUSB0", /* 200 */
#define USB_201
#ifdef USB_201
"/dev/ttyUSB1", /* 201 */
#else
"/dev/ttyS0", /* 201 */
#endif
* UPS is connected to the quacker, but the powerchute software has
not been installed yet.
* dug out the 1m sonic on the mini-tower. (giving reasonable data now)
* dug out and replaced the deep-cycle battery for the mini-tower.
* downloaded the MRS temperature data and replaced the pcmcia card
with the new one (freshly formatted earlier in the morning). note:
the time/year on the MRS data logger (CR-10X) was way off...this
was reset and then the program was re-downloaded from the laptop.
PC Time: 4/25/03 13:20:30
CR10X Time: 1/04/09 02:42:35
* hiked out to the NCAR tower to see if we could find the thing to
remove/replace tower sections (i don't remember what this is called).
The tower was there, but there was no thing.
* Andrew showed me how to calibrate co2 cylinders in the trailer. Start
Splus on russter and run the following commands:
> fun.standard.co2(Ps=744,Ts=23.79)
offset 0
V.span 1358.4
newz 1960.3
T 296.94
P 70.198
> fun.calc.co2(Ps=742,Ts=23.79,co2=1542)
offset 0
co2 410.094746949496
Ts (K) 296.94
Ps (kPa) 70.16814
CO2 410.09
need to get values of P and T from the readouts in the trailer.
This will return a value of CO2 for the tank you are working
with.
* NOAA took out the hub at C1 so we were without the network for the
afternoon...we tried to reboot which was a BIG mistake since russter
did not come back up properly without the connection to the rest of
the universe. at about 5:30pm Mark brought the hub back and reconnected
russter. AFter that the reboot was fine.

23: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Fri 11-Apr-2003 11:42:00 MDT, Site Visit on Thursday, April 10th (T-seed, SpB)
April 10 visit.
----------------------
At the site : T-seed, SpB.
Purpose of visit: Replace LI7500 at 21m with the fixed up Li7500.
Install the fixed ATI sonic at same level as csat (21.5m).
Weather at site: Clear skies with a few clouds, warm and sunny. High
pressure in area--fairly calm with an upslope wind (at tower top).
Still lots of snow up there (mushy in the afternoon). No need to
dig out the trailer door.
---------
Misc Notes:
** Used the last tank of zero gas (N2) last time. Need to order more.
** try to get the UPS software working for next visit.
---------
~9:00 AM - met at NCAR FL to drive to site (spb drove).
11:00 AM - arrived at the site.
* Talked to Mark at MRS about the campbell PCMCIA card which
I lost---have gave us another card to use temporarily. I ordered
a replacement card today (4/10).
* Andrew dug the sled out from under the trailer--used to carry the
Licor 7500, ATI, and all our stuff out to the Tower.
* Re-installed the ATI at 21.5m. Put it on the NE corner of tower (csat
is on the SE corner). Used the existing cables to connect it to the
data system---a check of russter shows the ATI is not collecting
data--andrew thinks there may be a weak connection at the short-haul
modem.
* replaced the existing Li7500 with the fixed on from LiCor (they
supposedly fixed the solar radiation contamination problem). Moved
the Li7500 from being next to the csat to being next to the ati.
Also, had to change out the box to keep the proper coefficients with
the ATI.
* Downloaded MRS cr10x logger data from N Canopy tower. Also switched
out the cards---the card still needs to be dumped to the computer at
MRS. Data are also on the gateway laptop.
* Dug out the low level sonic (buried under about 0.5m of snow).
* put the li7500 from 21.5m on the mini-tower.
* andrew put a new ozone standard (not the right word) in the ozone
instrument.

21: data processing, Site none, Fri 11-Apr-2003 09:52:08 MDT, Data Processing--Finishing off processing--General Info
Here are the last few steps to finish off the data processing:
fun.monthly() % to make the monthly plots.
1. need to run dirt.q....by "fun.dirt()" in Splus.
(manually edit te dirt.q program....then pick the entire
month when the gui window pops up).
edit the file: dirt.q % update file names and month.
compile with: make .fun.dirt
> fun.dirt(days=28)
2. month.recap.csh --- this does all the combining and
integrates the soil data into the data file...i think the
end result are the: s.2003/s.data.* files.
before doing this edit the files:
(replace with the current datafiles):

20: data processing, Site none, Fri 11-Apr-2003 09:25:39 MDT, March 2003 Data Processing--notes and problems
Some details about the Data Processing for March 2003 data.
SpB.
-------
Note: there was a time gap in the data when the data system was down from about
March 18-24. This is due to a big snowstorm. The logger data seem ok for the
canopy tower data.
From the monthly plots there appeared to be 2 minor problems with the data:
1. Wind speed/dir was artificially being set to zero. (don't recall exactly
why/where this was happening...)..andrew fixed the problem.
2. Rnet from the Q*7.1 was giving some wild numbers (around 4000). This
was due to the covar calculation applying the calibration coefficients
twice. When the data were spiky "light.calculate.q" was being used--this
was ok. with covar data the calculation is done in "met.data.q". ie:
### On May 10, 2002 - switched out REBs radiometers :
if(t1 >= utime("02 may 10 140000") & t1 <= utime("02 dec 01 000000")) {
Rnet <- ifelse(Rnet > 0, Rnet*1.0627*9.22, Rnet*1.0079*11.3)
}
### On DEc. 1, 2002 - switched out REBs radiometers :
if(t1 >= utime("02 dec 01 000000")) {
Rnet <- ifelse(Rnet > 0, Rnet*1.0627*9.35, Rnet*1.0079*11.56)
}
-------
there seemed to be a problem with:
aturnip 13016 Dec 17 16:44 /usr/local/aster/isff/src/sfun/NIWOT/prof.analyze.q
This program was having problems since the sizes of some of the vectors
were not consistent (due to missing data in mid-march)...to fix, i did a
manual running of the program by making the following patch:
> dim(data.file)
[1] 361 21
> dim(Times)
[1] 385 10
> ec.data <- dget(ec.data)
> dim(ec.data)
[1] 385 24
the dimension of the data.file is different than the times file...just keep
going through this program one step at a time:
> time.tag
[1] "03 03 11 jd:070 00:00:00 MST" "03 03 11 jd:070 00:30:00 MST"
[3] "03 03 11 jd:070 01:00:00 MST" "03 03 11 jd:070 01:30:00 MST"
[5] "03 03 11 jd:070 02:00:00 MST" "03 03 11 jd:070 02:30:00 MST"
[7] "03 03 11 jd:070 03:00:00 MST" "03 03 11 jd:070 03:30:00 MST"
[9] "03 03 11 jd:070 04:00:00 MST" "03 03 11 jd:070 04:30:00 MST"
[11] "03 03 11 jd:070 05:00:00 MST" "03 03 11 jd:070 05:30:00 MST"
[13] "03 03 11 jd:070 06:00:00 MST" "03 03 11 jd:070 06:30:00 MST"
...etc, etc...
[367] "03 03 18 jd:077 15:00:00 MST" "03 03 18 jd:077 15:30:00 MST"
[369] "03 03 18 jd:077 16:00:00 MST" "03 03 18 jd:077 16:30:00 MST"
[371] "03 03 18 jd:077 17:00:00 MST" "03 03 18 jd:077 17:30:00 MST"
[373] "03 03 18 jd:077 18:00:00 MST" "03 03 18 jd:077 18:30:00 MST"
[375] "03 03 18 jd:077 19:00:00 MST" "03 03 18 jd:077 19:30:00 MST"
[377] "03 03 18 jd:077 20:00:00 MST" "03 03 18 jd:077 20:30:00 MST"
[379] "03 03 18 jd:077 21:00:00 MST" "03 03 18 jd:077 21:30:00 MST"
[381] "03 03 18 jd:077 22:00:00 MST" "03 03 18 jd:077 22:30:00 MST"
[383] "03 03 18 jd:077 23:00:00 MST" "03 03 18 jd:077 23:30:00 MST"
[385] "03 03 19 jd:078 00:00:00 MST"
so, there is a mis-match between the dimensions of time.tag and
day.time...which one is correct??
> day.time
[,1]
[1,] 0
[2,] 1800
[3,] 3600
[4,] 5400
[5,] 7200
[6,] 9000
[7,] 10800
...etc, etc...
[379,] 75600
[380,] 77400
[381,] 79200
[382,] 81000
[383,] 82800
[384,] 84600
to fix this i changed:
> day.time <- matrix(day.time,48*days,1,byrow=T)
to be:
> day.time <- matrix(day.time,48*days+1,1,byrow=T)
i renamed the program to be: prof.analyze.temp.q
and then recompiled it by:
make prof.analyze.temp.q
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
There were also problems with the next set of 10days (ie, mar.21.31.03).
similar thing:
time.begin
[1] "03 03 24 jd:083 17:00:00 MST"
> time.end
[1] "03 03 31 jd:090 23:30:00 MST"
> length(day.time)
[1] 337
> length(time.tag)
[1] 350
> days
[1] 7
so in prof.analyze.temp.q changed,
day.time <- matrix(day.time,48*days+1,1,byrow=T)
to be,
day.time <- matrix(day.time,48*days+14,1,byrow=T)
now it works by doing:
source("/usr/local/aster/isff/src/sfun/NIWOT/prof.analyze.temp.q")
Warning messages:
assigning "fun.prof.analyze.temp" masks an object of the same name on
database 2
fun.prof.analyze.temp(GRAPH=F)
by the end of all this the number of files is:

note:
------
STill need to download the UC logger data.
Update: Wed, 5/7, 12:09pm:
---------------------------
Created the undercanopy logger data file for march:
128429 May 7 11:57 /data/projects/NIWOT/raw_data/loggers/UC_2003_03.csv
Update: Thur, 4/3, 2:23pm:
---------------------------
discovered that the clock on the 23tc4_1.dat file is screwed
up. (this will be true for next month too, so the clock needs
to be reset!). The problem occurs at:
>> tc1(r_jump(1:10)-2,1:4)
107.00 84.00 1300.00 -3.16
107.00 84.00 1315.00 -2.94
107.00 96.00 1145.00 -2.60
107.00 96.00 1200.00 -2.42
107.00 96.00 1215.00 -2.26
107.00 96.00 1230.00 -2.14
this is when we reset the power on the logger. the problem
was fixed in the program:
~/matlab/m/logger_data/fix_tc23x_march03.m
to do this the time was assumed to be continuous from the
JD84, 1315 time onward. This file has been corrected and the
new file:
1605325 Apr 3 13:33 /data/projects/NIWOT/raw_data/soil.data/TCs_2003_03.csv
created. The end of the file is:

17: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 02-Apr-2003 13:50:05 MST, Site Visit on Tuesday, April 1 (t-seed, spb, laura, russ)
April 1 visit.
----------------------
At the site : T-seed, SpB, Laura, Russ.
Purpose of visit: Replace the N2 tank at the base of the tower. Try
to clean out the 6262 (to remove the large offset (80 mv?) which
causes the LiCor not to be zeroed properly). Download the logger
data. Also, start up the Ozone instrument.
Weather at site: Clear skies, warm and sunny. Still lots of snow
up there (had to dig out the trailer door).
---------
Misc Notes:
** We used the last tank of zero gas (N2). Need to order more.
---------
~9:00 AM - met at CU to drive to site (Andrew drove). We were planning
to meet Laura and Russ at the turnout near the road to MRS.
11:00 AM - arrived at the site.
* prepared cylinders to replace the dessicant in the Li6262. (these
are in the first cabinent on the left in the trailer).
* note: there is a large cylinder with dessicant inside the Li6262 box
and there is a smaller one outside the box which is primarily there
as an indicator of when the dissicant needs to be replaced. Blue=ok,
Pink/Red= used up.
* Dragged out the last tank of N2 gas.
* At tower. Started downloading the profiler data logger--while that
was downloading worked with Andrew on Li6262. Dis-connected the pump
and then connected the N2 inlet line to a valve. (increased regulator
at tank from 20-40 psi). Used this valve to blow air back through the
Sample and Reference cells. Also, reconnected the control cable from
the prf data logger. (i think it's from profile data logger?).
* Looking at the data from yesterday when we were there the
effect on the data was the following:
ec_Ftot: No change, ~860 mv
p_ec: No change, ~-670 to -650 mv
co2_ec: Jump from around 1200mv up to 1300 mv.
h2o_ec: Jump from about 1000 mv to 800 mv
t_ec: cools off when box opened..then about the same.
+ Both the h2o.ec and co2.ec channels have large offsets. They have manuallly been adjusted as far as they possibly can be. Need to fix this soon.
* andrew started up the ozone instrument and replaced the filter
at the inlet - started up both the slow TECO and the fast SECLOD. Both
instruments seemed to be working OK.
* here are the data logger files which were downloaded...in the order they
were collected (time shown is the laptop time which is MST):
189027 Mar 25 12:51 2003 mrs3_25.dat (downloaded on prev visit)

217227 Apr 1 14:13 2003 23xa4_1.dat (soil data)
* connected the new N2 tank.
* found Laura and Russ and dug holes in the snow for the rest of
the afternoon (soil samples for Laura).
16: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 26-Mar-2003 11:27:41 MST, Site Visit on Tuesday, March 25th (T-seed, Jesse (unixOPS), and SpB)
At the site : T-seed, Jesse (from unixOPS), and SpB.
Purpose of visit: Find out status of system after major snowstorm. We
have been able to ping russter, but not able to log in.
Weather at site: Clear skies, not very cold (around freezing).
significant deep snow drifts, ~ upper-thigh depth (had to dig out the
trailer door).
---------
Misc Notes:
The data system has been down since early last wed morning (March
19th) when the storm hit...the files on russter are:

it looks like the computer might have rebooted on Wed evening (maybe
that's when power came back on??)...however, the internet connection
from the trailer to CU was down due to a UPS failure in the hub at C1.
here's a record of

no problem at all; thanks for dragging me along. like i said, best day
i've had at work in longer than i can remember! maybe next time i'll

yep. sync works when the OS is loaded and also at the PROM level (PROM
is when you hit stop-a and see the "ok" prompt). it's good to use sync
if a machine flips out on you -- hit stop-a, type sync, and the machine
will attempt to sync and reboot. if a machine can't boot because of
filesystem inconsistencies, it will demand the root password. after
that it gives you a shell, and then you can run fsck -y to check all of
the disks. after an fsck, you can hit control-d to resume startup, but
i used reboot to make sure it could do the whole boot process without a
hiccup.
>

shutdown works but i usually use halt. it's less typing and there's
only one halt command (there are two shutdown commands, one in
/usr/sbin and on in /usr/ucb and sometimes i confuse the syntax between
them). if you type halt, the machine halts, no questions asked.

i can't think of anything else interesting i typed, but if something
comes to mind, i'll let you know. if russter fails to boot because one
or more partitions need to be fscked, all you really need to know is
the root password and to run fsck.
thanks again for my second snow day in less than a week,
Jesse
------
* after the reboot we could not ping the quacker. Trudged out to the
tower and found that the quacker was down. rebooted ok. the UPS
was beeping and it appeared that the extention cord from the outlet
to the UPS was sensitive to movement. This cord might need to be
replaced...the problem was where it plugged into the outlet.
* after going back to the tower we noticed that the problem with the
ec system was still present (ie, the flow was around 6.2 lpm when it
should be around 8 lpm (not sure about the units)). This leads to
increased CO2 values of around 1400 mvolts when it should be closer
to 1100-1200 mvolts. side note---when andrew and i checked cockpit
this morning (3/26) it seemed to be giving more typical values.
* in checking the system we replaced the 2 Nupro 2 micron filters
at the ec inlet (near tower top) and in the ec box (below the 2 blue
valves). These filters can be cleaned by placing them in nitic acid.
replacing the filters seemed to help increase the flow rate a bit,
but not as much as it should be.
* we also replaced the pump at the bottom of the tower. this had
almost no effect which indicates that the old pump is probably
still ok. andrew thought there was probably a flow constriction
somewhere between the pump and the ec box.
* the N2 at the tower is getting quite low and will need to be
replaced within a week or so.
15: data processing, Site none, Fri 21-Mar-2003 10:06:15 MST, Splus processing of Feb Data.
When I tried to do the monthly plots of the Feb data I was having problems
since not all the data were there....I noticed that I was missing 3 files:
/home/staff/aturnip/results/profiler/storage.feb.01.10.03
/home/staff/aturnip/results/s.2003/s.data.feb.01.10.03
/home/staff/aturnip/results/weekly/weekly.flux.feb.01.10.03
after a little bit of looking around I found that the storage.feb.01.10.03
file was the problem. To create this file it was necessary to run:
fun.prof.analyze(GRAPH=F,MANUAL=T,NAME=1)
in Splus. After doing this and then running:
month.recap.csh
all files existed. There should be 28 files...they are:

14: weather event, Site , Thu 20-Mar-2003 11:34:07 MST, Major Snowstorm -- March 18-19.
% There was a major snowstorm along the front range starting Monday
March 17th - Wednesday March 19th.
I checked the data system at about 11pm on Tuesday March 18th---it was
still collecting data fine. The next morning russter was down. Talked
to Steve at MRS and he said they had 6 feet + of snow at MRS. They
were trapped there and don't expect to have power for 1-2 days. I will
try and call back on Friday and find the status (i periodically have been
checking to see if russter is back...I assume it will come back to life after
power is restored).

Subject: in the trailer...
hi andrew,
i know you won't read this for a while, but i thought i would give you
(and me) a report while it's fresh in my mind. i just got back from
the tower---i'm at the trailer having lunch.
1. picked up the ATI. brought it up to the trailer.
2. brought the crescent wrench here too (it's in the tool backpack).
3. i found the power box near the mini-tower. was able to download
the data and it looks fine. on cockpit looks like it is running
ok.
4. plugged back in the pump...the flow felt stronger at the pump.
went up to the licor--co2 values at ~1100 and P at ~47kPa. So, this
seemed fine. i thought i would give this some time to run. (at 12:50
i disconnected the line to the pump just to get an idea what the
"sucking" should feel like).
5. went up to the CNR logger. downloaded the data there.
6. back to licor--still seems ok. (now back at the trailer it still
seems ok on cockpit...though H2O is all over the place (based on the
ghost trace)....i don't know if this could mean there was ice in
the line which has now melted out??)....anyway, i will keep my eyes
on this.
7. went to MRS logger and switched cards to return Mark his card. (on
my way out I'll stop and download the data from this card before
returning it to Mark).
8. Note: there is still a pcmcia card in the trailer...this is the "new"
one which was unformatted. the other card we have is now out in the MRS
logger.
i think that's it...
11: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Thu 13-Mar-2003 15:39:09 MST, Site Visit on March 12 (Wednesday, SpB.)
At the site: SpB.
Purpose of visit: Download loggers (NCAR TC, mini-tower, CNR), replace the
lowest T/RH sensor with the new HMP45D.
Weather at site: fairly windy, clear skies, not very cold (around freezing).
fairly deep snow drifts, ~ mid-thigh depth
---------
Data Downloaded: NCAR TC. (Also grabbed the "met" logger data from
the gateway laptop which Andrew downloaded on our last visit to the
tower with Gordon..this file is: "MET2_27.DAT").
** In the morning before leaving to go up to the site I noticed that
both p.ec and co2.ec were offscale in the "cockpit". this could
indicate a problem with the pump or a constriction in the lines.
here's andrews e-mail response about this:
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2003 10:25:59 MST
To: Sean Burns
From: turnipseed andrew a
Subject: Re: p.ec and co2.ec...
sorry - just got this. From looking at cshow (cshow quacker 201) - can
see that co2.ec is about 1400 mV and p.ec is about 690 mV. My first guess
is that the pump at the bottom of the tower has quit running. Could be
the pump is dead - or the breaker that it is running on has popped. Its
the pump that we replaced recently in the black box (Action packer) next
to the gas cylinders. I would check it while you're there (we do have a
spare pump - but its down in the office)
----------
* Worked at MRS with Andy to download the data from the pcmcia card. (these
are data from the MRS Logger (CR-10X)). This was successful--transferred
data back to CU computer. In the future we will just use the MRS computer
to get these data.
* NOTE: I left BOTH pcmcia card in the trailer near the gateway laptop.
the pcmcia card which is currently in the MRS logger needs to be returned
to Mark at MRS. (get the data before returning it).
included
the garbage file which I've since deleted...it had data like:
/home/staff/sburns/data_loggers_download[1087]: more 030703.dat

the conclusion is that this card was unformatted. Andy at MRS
formatted the card and gave it back to me. Also, downloaded data
from a different card which seemed to work fine ("MRS3_12.DAT").
~11:00 AM - at the trailer
* made connector for the new T/RH sensor.
* made a AMP CPC connector for the new T/RH sensor (HMP45D). This replaces
the HMP35D which was at 2m. The pins for the 45D are similar to the 35D
with an extra ground wire (red). Here's the pin locations:
----blue----------------------------- Pin #1
----violet (gnd)--| Pin #2
----red (gnd)-----| Pin #2
----brown (output, 0-1v, 0-100%RH --- Pin#3
----yellow--------------------------- Pin #4 | T sensor
----white-------------------------- Pin #5 | T sensor
----green------------------------ Pin #6 | T sensor
----black---------------------- Pin #7 | T sensor
----grey (shield)------------ Pin #8
the broken HMP35D sensor is in the lab and the humidity sensor should
be checked. (note: both manuals are in the box with the sensor).
* installed T/RH sensor at the tower...tried to determine why the
EC system had stopped working. Pump was working but flow did not
seem very strong. T-seed had some ideas about how to fix this.
* Dug up the mini-tower logger...but could not find the power box. (later
i found out the box is about 10 feet away from the logger...back toward
the main tower).
* downloaded the ncar tc data.
* before i left I made a quick stop by the tower to look for any potential
leaks in the EC licor plumbing...I did not find any. The pump actually did
not seem to be creating a very strong flow so I shut it off before I
left.
10: site visit, Site none, Mon 10-Mar-2003 08:20:46 MST, Site Visit on Friday, Mar 7th (T-seed & SpB).
At the site : T-seed and SpB.
Purpose of visit: Download loggers, reattach control cable for co2 EC system.
Weather at site: fairly windy, clear skies, not very cold (around freezing).
fairly deep snow drifts, ~ mid-thigh depth (had to dig out trailer door).
---------
~9:00 AM - met at CU to drive to site (Andrew drove).
11:00 AM -
* tried to download the campbell pc card data using the computer at MRS.
This did not work and it appeared the card was corrupted. Here's the
e-mail from Andrew to MRS Andy (note: Andy was not there):
Date: Fri, 07 Mar 2003 17:04:30 MST
To: Andy OReilly

From: turnipseed andrew a
Subject: Card data
Andy
Tried downloading the data from one of the PC cards in you lab on Friday.
However, it kept giving me "card corrupted" messages. Mark looked in and
thought it didn't look too good. It appeared that the desktop was trying
to retrieve data from the card - but it was going through the entire card
very slowly. I left it while it was trying to retrieve data and was
planning to drop back by MRS in the afternoon and see how if finished.
However, when we got down - Marr lab was locked up and I don't know the
door combo (I thought I did - but obviously it must have changed). So
computer may still be connected to the card reader.
Mark also gave another card which is now in the field archivng (we hope)
data. The one that may corrupted was the first card we put in it (in
January). We had switched with another card a few weeks ago. We
replaced that card with Mark's today (Friday, Mar 7th). So sometime we
may need to come and try to download this second card and see if things
are working. (In the next week or so - it will probably have to be Sean to
come). Anyway, if you get a chance - see if the system downloaded
anything off of the card that's in the card reader (a green card). I
tried to save it to a file in MRC_turnip (I think the names was
030703.dat). Let me know if it did anything - also we'll figure out when
we can come and try this other card. thanks

* the N2 and CO_2 tanks at the tower base seemed ok (should start recording
tank pressures).
* Downloaded the logger data from the 3 data loggers at the North Canopy
Access Tower. (Note: we left the power cord connected and just stuffed it
into the tower tubing)
* Downloaded the logger data from the 2 lowest data loggers at the 26m tower.
The "met" logger did not have much data since Andrew had downloaded it last
week. The CNR DL at around 24m was not downloaded (too windy).
* Re-attached the control cable for the co2 eddycorrelation system
(LiCor 6262). The controls for the Li6262 are done by the "Met" data
logger (lowest logger). Andrew mentioned that using the fast data logger
to control the EC system did not work very well.
* Removed the lowest T/RH sensor (~2m) to replace with the new sensor. The
instrument is at the trailer and Andrew showed me how to make a new connector
for it. (I plan to go up next week and finish this).

7: site visit, Site , Fri 28-Feb-2003 11:15:20 MST, Site Visit on Thurs, Feb 27, 2003 (Gordon, AT, SpB)
At the site : T-seed, SpB, and Gordon.
~9:30 AM - met at FL to drive to site (Gordon drove).
11:00 AM -
* at site--winds calm about 7-8 inches of fresh snow...sunny on arrival
then clouded up and started snowing.
* the N2 and CO_2 tanks at the tower base seemed ok (should start recording
tank pressures).
* Examined the serial connections to the quacker. Andrew set up a
21X logger to simulate data ouput by the lowest data logger (ch201).
This showed less spikes, but still occasional spiking. Also tried
bypassing the short-haul modem by connecting a long (77 feet?) serial
cable directly to the logger. This did not seem to fix the problem.
(note: the pins on this serial cable may need to be redone?). After
a fair amount of trials and tribulations the problem was not fixed
while at the tower...however, after we went back to the trailer Gordon
tried modifying some of the i/o softare (sio.c) and the problem appears to
be fixed! (further details about this below).
* The 21X used was the one at the mini-tower. . .after fixing the spike
problem we left it in the trailer. (we were originally planning to
bring it back to Boulder to try and recreate the spiking problem in
the lab).
* The NCAR thermocouple CR23-X which was misbehaving was fixed by
forcing the logger to re-download the program. This needs to be done
even though the connection was not solid...if you just time the re-download
of the program in an instant when the connection is ok then the program
works fine. Also, checked the 5V voltage (as recommended by Campbell).
This was about 4.97V.
* We did not download any logger data (i tried to download the ncar
thermocouple data from the CR23X, but it didn't work...does
redownloading the program clear the data buffer?).
-------------------------------
Here are the changes to sio.c which fixed the data problem:

6: ncar thermocouples, Site , Tue 25-Feb-2003 09:39:50 MST, NCAR 23X Data Logger
Sometime around Sunday, Feb 16th the NCAR thermocouples stopped sending
valid data to the quacker. Andrew and I investigated this on Wed Feb 19th.
We could not establish communications with the data logger from the laptop
to the serial port...the 12V power seemed fine (both going in and out of the
logger). Here's an example of some of the messages:
when trying to run *0 get the following message: Tables not running
(this indicates the program is not running)...
by checking with *B get the following messages:
01: +8504.0
02: +56735
03: KBytes Memory 0000
04: 99 (watchdog errors)
05: Table overruns 00
the lithium battery voltage seemed fine ~3.x V.
yesterday I called Campbell and talked to Craig Knox...he suggested
checking the 5V power supply via the front panel. If this is not at
5V then need to send the logger back to campbell for repair. If this
is working we should be able to communicate with the logger.
can reset the logger with: *A 9-8-7-6-5
5: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Thu 20-Feb-2003 14:24:59 MST, Site Visit on Wed, Feb 19, 2003 (how to change cr23x program)
At the site : T-seed and SpB.
9:00 AM - met with Gordon to discuss some possible strategies on fixing
spikes in the quacker (Gordon couldn't go up today...maybe next week)
11:00 AM -
* there did not appear to be any leaks in the N2 tank at tower base (leak
from last week may have been due to a faulty regulator connection). Bill
replaced the leaky tank and it appears ok now.
* Checked the Krypton connection at 21.5m (it was a little loose, Andrew
tightened up).
* Bill Baugh already downloaded the logger data from tower campbells (no
need to do this).
* investigated the problem with the thermocouple data (the signals died starting
last Sunday...or maybe Monday). Checked power to the TC CR23X--seemed fine.
error message was "08"--watchdog reset. Copied down the full diagnostic
messages from the CR23X screen...checked Lithium batter voltage (it was over
3 V)....this indicates a possible hardware or software problem (what else
is there??)...need to call campbell to determine what is wrong. (SpB).
* Changed the byte size of the data in the upper level CR-23X (ch201).
(this was to increase the number of sig digits for the li7500, co2 and h2o).
To do this we created a new CR23x program, CR23xfast7 (?) to run in the
upper-level CR-23X. After modifying/installing the Campbell program on the
CR23-X we went back to the trailer and modifiedthe following programs
on russter (in /usr/local/aster/projects/NIWOT/ops1/):

the program "camp_bin_15l_3h" was added to "sio_msg_formats" which
is in /usr/local/aster/config/...ie, this was added as:
# campbell binary messasge, with 10 low and 8 high res fields: 10*2 + 8*4 = 52
camp_bin_10l_8h 0x00 none 52 binary "\xfc\x01" 20 none
camp_bin_17l_1h 0x00 none 38 binary "\xfc\x01" 20 none
camp_bin_15l_3h 0x00 none 42 binary "\xfc\x01" 20 none
(this just means that 15 of the channels use 2bytes and 3 use 4 bytes, ie,
15*2 + 3*4 = 42 total bytes).
---------Lunch---------
* li7500 data looked fine after changes to russter software (as described
above).
* Andrew tried to fix the intermitten spikes in the 1-hz quacker channels
by grounding the modems from the duck to the loggers...this did not seem
to eliminate the spikes.
* Downloaded the Logger data from the MRS logger at the North canopy
tower--also, swapped out pcards, but this did not seem to work when
we tried to access the card back at the trailer. we can try to use the
card reader at MRS and/or need to get the proper driver for the card
reader module.
4: To Do List, Site none, Tue 11-Feb-2003 15:54:31 MST, To Do List from Feb 11, 2003.
Here is a list of items which Andy and I talked about:
Immediate Needs:
-----------------
At the tower :
Most Important :
(1) Download tower data loggers (Bill may have done this)
(2) Try loopback test on the quacker
(3) Check out the Kr hygrometer - is it hooked up properly. (at ~24m)
(4) Switch PC-card in the MRStemp logger. Try to download data from old card.
Secondary Importance:
---------------------
(1) Calibrate the other CO2 standard at the trailer. [still have 2-3 months
since the tank at the tower was full from last visit].
(2) Change filters on the profile system
(3) Change filters on the Li6262 EC system.
For Double Profiler :
(1) Buy new pump (big pump to continously pump the lines - check with tony and see what he ordered last summer). Gast Model #RAA-V210-EB (T-seed)
(2) Replumb the inlet lines at the shack.
a) Put in bulkhead inlet with 3/8" bulkhead fittings
b) make lines from bulkheads to glass volumes out of Dekabon.
c) makes lines from glass volumes to solenoid manifolds out of Dekabon
(3) Need to order : 3/8" bulkhead fittings (14 or more) + some extra 3/8" ferrules and nuts. [SpB, order from Denver valve]
(4) will probably need to change the inlet filters in the spring.
Stuff to order:
---------------
(1) new HMP45D Rel.Hum/Temp. sensor - need to ask : am replacing an HMP35D - will new one fit in the same housing??? [SpB.]
(2) Gast pump for EC system. Model 1531.
Can ask about repairing our old one - has a broken insert plate (part # AG293)
(also buy a "Service Kit" - only about $25.00)
[according to Dean this is not worth reparing].
(3) Get ATI sonic fixed. Make some plots of v-axis (vs. CSAT-3) from last summer to show them. [T-seed]
(4) Send back propvane upstairs - had problem of suddenly not outputting analog signals, although it had power and good cables. Could have been grounding problem. Also, needed recalibration. [T-seed]
(5) Send back Li7500 to have chopper blades painted. [T-seed]
Computer Stuff:
--------------
(1) Buy new hard drive for urquell (backup drive)
[we decided that a 80Gb Drive for specialk might be a better thing to do].
Processing stuff:
----------------
(1) make ASCI outputs from Splus functions (in batchcode) so Sean can use in MatLab.
(2) get Matlab for the workstations. [working on this...]
(3) get Linux and put it on Sean's PC. [SpB.]
Stuff for Sean to know how to do:
--------------------------------
(1) Get Sean to run batch codes
(2) get Sean to run weekly/monthly code.
(3) put in soil data - from loggers to S+
(4) put in logger backup data. [uses excel on PC].
(5) show him some Campbell logger code - how to do it.
--to run here we need to bring the translator box back from the trailer
--one idea: change some of the code on quacker ch201 from "L" to "H"
resolution...also, update quacker:200 to use "campbell_binary".
--some additional S-plus programs to try: "co2.fluxes2.q" and "sonic.tests.q"
3: site visit, Site , Thu 06-Feb-2003 13:57:49 MST, Site visit on Feb. 5, 2003
At the site : T-seed, Sean, and Shirley Kurc
11:00 AM - New N2 gas cylinder at the tower (reference gas)
11:30 AM - Took down undercanopy Li7500 (took down to campus)
12:00-12:30 PM - downloaded loggers : Tc23x, Soil23x and Mrstemp
12:30 PM - put in PC-card into the MRStemp data logger.
(Next time up - need to switch out the PC-cards - extra one at trailer)
1:30-3:00 - calibrated the undercanopy LI7500 back at the trailer
Notes on undercanopy LI7500 : (1) optics were very dirty (AGC value of
~97% - after cleaning -went down to 67%, which is similar to new
values. Zero and Span were not too bad - Water zero was the
most off (~ -20 mmol m-3).
2: site visit, Site CU 26m Tower, Wed 29-Jan-2003 11:33:06 MST,
Site Visit on Tuesday, January 21:
1. Replaced the Gast Pump for the EC system at the base of the tower.
2. Checked (NCAR) Thermocouple Levels:
