Daily status 7 Jan 2011
(sorry for my typo on the last status header I sent out and for no status messages the last 2 days)
Still in IOP5
Based on previous 48 hour WWW plots, "now" readings from this morning using S+, and other information
On site: Dong, Oncley
Weather: low overcast, light snow overnight and wet(!) roads. Seems warmer than the -8C reported at most stations.
Summary: All sensor outages addressed, except for Playa1 aux soil site which was deliberately uninstalled
Sun Photometer installed yesterday at River7
All kryptons currently frost covered and are reading 0.
All 10m kryptons have not been cleaned recently, but still have acceptable signal levels. We would have
to disrupt flux data during this (long) IOP5 to service these.
Vdsm: ok, lowest values 12.1-12.4V batteries fully charged yesterday
Vmote.rad: ok. lowest values12.6-13.0 V
Vmote.soil(aux): ok, lowest values 12.4-13.0.
Current Conditions:
P: ok 850 to 880 mb now, slightly falling.
Tbaro:
T: ok -12 to -7 degC now. At least Playa1 get frost during the night
RH: 85 to 97% now
Q: ok
Rainr (3,4,6): Tips at Wslope6 yesterday was servicing. Wvally4 tips probably not real or current.
Spd (1,6): <1 m/s now. Seems low at Wslope6 starting 4 Jan ~2200. Didn't notice anything obvious when shooting
its boom angle yesterday.
Dir (1,6): ok, variable
csat diag: ok. A few spikes overnight at Wslope6
samples.sonic: real-time data show dropped samples esp at night, maybe ok in archived data set
spd: ok, ~1 m/s now
dir: ok, variable across the network
u'u': ok, 0 to 0.7 m2/s2 dominated by events at abc2 and river7 yesterday
v'v': ok, 0 to 0.8 m2/s2 "
w'w': ok, 0 to 0.4 m2/s2 "
u*: ok, 0 to 0.4 m/s
sigma_w/u*: ok.
tc: ok, -12 to -8 now degC
tc'tc': ok < 1.8 degC2; huge nighttime values at wslope6, playa1, river7 -- are these real?
w'tc': ok, -0.03 to 0.08 m/s degC
kh2oV: all ~0 now with frost. During day, 1 and 6 now >2V after recent cleanings. Others 0.7-1.2V.
kh2o'kh2o': daytime very small
w'kh2o': small values during day; night values larger, likely frost related
Rsw.in: ok, daytime 300-600 W/m2 yesterday
Rsw.out: ok, daytime 250-400 W/m2 (snow cover at all sites)
albedo: ok, 0.6-0.9 at all sites, some with sun angle dependence
Rsw.dfs (1,7): up to 350 W/m2 at Playa, 70 at River (does Playa need to be adjusted?); SPN-1 now at River
and agrees with shadowband
Rsw.global (1,7): up to 500 W/m2
Rlw.in: ok, 200-280 W/m2
Rpile.in: ok, -150 to 0 W/m2
Tcase.in: ok, -17 to +10 degC
Tdome.in (1,2,5): ok, -17 to +10 degC
Rlw.out: ok, 240-300 W/m2
Rpile.out: ok, -80 to +10 W/m2
Tcase.out: ok, -17 to +10 degC
Tdome.out (1,2,5): ok, -17 to +10 degC
soil.aux at E & W Slope (5,6)
Tsoil: ok, abc2, eslope5aux, river7 now frozen
Gsoil: ok, +4 (most) to 35 W/m2 (River)
Qsoil: 8 (Eslope/River) to 30 (Hiland) %vol; expect values to go to 0 as soils freeze.
Cvsoil: ok, 5e5 (Wvalley, Eslope, River) to 1.8e6 (Playa, Wslope) J/(m3 degK); strange abc jump yesterday.
