Clear, cool, breezy.
UDel network down yesterday. Things are mostly up now, but eddy cannot do http/ftp requests to the outside. UPD data coming in though.
To do:
- Reshoot boom angles at site 8 and 15 where we used tripod for stabilizing. We think tripod could be affecting the compass. (must be done at low tide, so this has to wait.
- Shoot sonics on tower.
Ongoing:
- Watching main tower wdir data and forecasts to determine appropriate conditions to have wind turbine turned off (at the request of the PI). She's looking for ENE winds between 40-80deg greater than 5m/s
T/RH: 42m TRH reporting warmer and drier than at other levels.

This afternoon the link to the internet from the trailer went down. The router could not make a connection on the UDel WAN.
Campus security stopped by the trailer to let us know it is a known issue and is being worked on.
Fairly windy with strong gusts. Temperatures in the 50s and overcast
To do:
- Reshoot boom angles at site 8 and 15 where we used tripod for stabilizing. We think tripod could be affecting the compass. (must be done at low tide, so this has to wait. High tide starts around 10)
Ongoing:
- Watching main tower wdir data and forecasts to determine appropriate conditions to have wind turbine turned off (at the request of the PI). She's looking for ENE winds between 40-80deg greater than 5m/s
T/RH: 42m TRH still reporting warmer and drier than at other levels. RH at site 8 has dropped out for a period two nights in a row. Last night for about 2 hours, but it recovered.

As a hack earlier today I tried to power cycle the 42m TRH on tower, in the (small) hope that it might resolve the temperatures that are too high there.
But "eio 8 0" had no effect, data was still coming in on the port. "eio 8" always reported 0 even after an "eio 8 1".
So it seems that the emerald was not responding to commands at address 0x200, even though the serial ports, at 0x100 to 0x147 were working.
Copied over a new emerald.ko driver module, which has a fix for the EEPROM accesses in the hope that may help the emerald respond. The old one is saved at /lib/modules/3.16.0-titan2/nidas/emerald_save.ko.
After ddn, a "/etc/init.d/emerald start", failed because the emerald would not respond at 0x200. So just did a remote software reboot. All came back.
From kern.log:
Oct 21 18:04:12 localhost kernel: emerald: NOTICE: version: v1.2-435
Oct 21 18:04:12 localhost kernel: emerald: INFO: /dev/emerald0 at ioport 0x200 is an EMM-8P
Oct 21 18:04:12 localhost kernel: emerald: INFO: /dev/emerald0: port 0=RS232,1=RS232,2=RS232,3=RS232,4=RS232,5=RS232,6=RS232,7=RS232
So it is running the new v1.2-435 of emerald.ko. Controlling power with eio then worked.
The power cycle of 42m didn't help though:

On the trip to S15 yesterday (Oct 20), took a photo of the EC100 internals, to help address the issue why Pirga seems to be low by about 1 mb. It's probably not of much use, but here it is.
Around 11:25 EDT I rserial'd to the EC150 on S15 (port 5). The pressure setting can be changed with the "O" command. It is a hassle because we don't know how to disable the unprompted output, and so the menu prompts are interspersed in the binary output.
Current Calibration values for external pressure: Gain = 1.000000, Offset = 0.000000
Enter new Gain and Offset (comma separated):
I didn't change these values.
Emigration and Customs Helicptors landed again today at 5:30 EDT
Light Southeast winds. Temperatures in the 80's. Partly cloudy, and muggy.
Vanda, Cristina and her student Winston, paid a visit to the site today and went on a tour of the marsh.
To do:
- Reshoot boom angles at site 8 and 15 where we used tripod for stabilizing. We think tripod could be affecting the compass. (must be done at low tide, so this has to wait. High tide starts around 10)
- Level radiometer at site 1
Ongoing:
- Watching main tower wdir data and forecasts to determine appropriate conditions to have wind turbine turned off (at the request of the PI). She's looking for ENE winds between 40-80deg greater than 5m/s
T/RH: 42m TRH still reporting warmer and drier than at other levels. RH at site 8 has dropped out for a period two nights in a row. Last night for about 2 hours, but it recovered.
