Activity highlights:
- array4.
- See profile note on 11th: diamond board problem, but staying up.   crontab reset notes past 2 days
  were erroneous because the command lacked complete path to script.   Interrupts still occuring.
  but adam was staying up.  Some short looking files around the normal '12' hour restarts.
  Will adjust Crontab to avoid extra restarts at 0:15,12:15.

Since there is no evidence of profile interrupt failures during the last several days, we've decreased the frequency of adnaup commands to every 3 hours, rather than every hour.  The adnaup sequence appears to remove 16s of data.

Update (Militzer): I'm not sure where Steve got the '16s' other than when we did test the script a couple days ago.   The script was not running at all because the full path wasn't included in the crontab statement.....fixed now.   Also, the kernel log does show regular spurios interrupts since we looked at the box on the 11th.  Apparently they aren't enough to cause the lock-up problem....ie the adam has been staying up on it's own.   Was this the result of reinserting the resistor pack on the viper; not sure but could be that is true.

Now the crontab will run and we'll see those '16s' outages beginning at 18:15 every 3 hours...

array 4 boom angles

Here are angles I shot today with the DataScope from 1030-1130 today.  John and I don't completely trust datascope readings, but they did seem internally consistent (i.e. when I thought the angle should have been more southerly than the previous reading, it was).

 Note that the 3 sonics on each trident are <reasonably> consistent -- especially 9/10/11u.  Trident 6/7/8u is definitely rotated with respect to trident 9/10/11u.

11t of 130 degrees and 3t and 10t of 134 are not typos.

Finally, note that the relatively close agreement of the horiz array angles are not coincidence -- it is easier to see and adjust (a bit) angles when they are on the horiz array with a close spacing.  Also, the EMT conduit now links all of them together.

P.S. These have now been entered in the cal_files (less 131.7 degrees, as before).

Note Aug14 ~9:30-10:30PDT, I JohnM decided to take a 'shot' myself.   These are in column 'U8-14.   The differences with Steves are in 'UD8-14 '.   When I took these, it was further away than I'd tried before (well beyond the berm), and nominally I had the horizontal reference of the datascope on the horizon with the sonic still in view at the top...ie tried to minimize the tilt angle as best i could.   I aligned visually using symmetry between the 'left-right' probes balanced on either side of the square box.   I only did the upwind at this time because later on the winds were good and I didn't want to mess them up.   From these readings, difference was substantial but consistent with Steve's.....may need to 'cal?'    I'm hoping KK will be able to do a few proper theadolite sun-angle shots tomorrow.

Note: Aug15.  Sun-Angle Sanity Check:

Kurt, Chris and I took sunangle method shots of 2 sonics to compare with the data-scope readings.   We aligned the theadolite to the sun for 36:01.27N, 119:53.59W and using the sunangle program obtained the offset angle.   The magnetic declination for this latitude/date = 13.6.   From the sun angle readings: U6 = 144.:49:06 ~ 144.8deg true - 13.6 = 131.2 magnetic;    U11 = 148:19:50 ~ 148.3deg true - 13.6 = 134.7 magnetic.  NOTICE that these magnetic readings for U7, U11 match SteveO's within about .5deg, but mine don't match.  Conclusion: Use Steve's readings.....

Note: Aug15.  Triginometric Sanity Check:

SteveO, Chenning, Khuong, and I setup a reference line parallel to array, with a perpendicular from the NE most rohn tower to a point 75.59m to a stake on that parallel line.   We used triangles from the array to establish the perpendicular, and from the reference stake used the theodolite to shoot the parallel line.  We determined the distance to the stake by triangulation using the theodolite setup on the parallel 100' away from the reference and shooting back to the rohn tower.    From this reference stake and reference line, we aligned the theodolite to the upwind sonics and measured the distance D from the stake to the alignment point.   Using these dimension, adjusting the 75.59 distance to 72.47 by the 3.12m difference from the rohn to the pam tripod and subtracting the .43 sonic spacing and 1.87m offset of the tripod to the rohn tower (for D'), we took the asine and added the array alignment (325-180=145deg true looking back toward the sonics) to determine the sonic angles; and substracted 13.6 for the magnetic declination.  Note we visually aligned to the sonics using the "Horst method" which balances the back two transducers on either side of the square sonic head assembly.   This technique should work, although for the upwind array in particular there are several tolerance assumptions that we can't measure directly (ie the 1.87, 3.12, etc) which makes it a bit awkward.   Note the sunangle readings for u7 were within .1 deg, but for u11 it was 1deg (Chris used the 'front transducer alignment method which could account for a slight additional difference).

Later in the day I took readings for the Horizontal Array.   In this case 'D' is the distance from the reference stake to the SW direction (positive).   The distance from the rohm tower leg to the  first sonic was measured as .6m, and the length of the boom to the head bolt as 1.37m, the sonic spacing is .43m.   D' = D - the index number (sonic#-1) * .43m.   The angle is asine (D' /  (75.59 - 1.37))

P.bedard had a pinched hose overnight so data is bogus until fixed today @~10pdt.

'p.ref' is measuring AHATS ref p with the 202BG connected between the
AHATS and CHATS references.
P.bedard now is the portable Paroscientific standard with reasonable resolution, but
low sampling rate connected to the Bedard pressure port now installed on boom 13b.

misc stuff

When wiki.ucar.edu was down I put misc entries here:

6-4-09 (twh) NOTE: I found (see below) that the 8m sonic swap on the profile tower appears to have occurred on 8-11 rather than 8-12. Oncley looked at photos of his jaunt to Moro Bay and found that he went there on 8-10. So the dates on the entries below should be changed to the previous day.

8/11 (twh: actually 8/10):
New heights were 5.37m above ref4 level (which is 0.04m above ref3 level).
Thus, the new heights should be 5.37+1.65=7.02m and 8.02m. upwind was setup
this way.
These are close enough to the existing profile 7.08 and 8.05, that we're not planning
to move them.

Yesterday (8/10), measured guy wire tensions on east horizontal array (with all the sonics now)
in a 6 m/s wind from the N:
SE 250
SW 220
NW 190
NE 240
These seem a bit low to us, but are reasonably consistent.

~12:00: Found that the interface board to 11b had pulled out of pressure2's
motherboard. Reset.

12:10-12:30:

  • Cycled power twice to upwind to get Pocketec running. Replaced the
    Pocketec in the process.
  • Swapped 4G sticks in pressure1 and pressure2
  • Have now downloaded all of these drives/sticks still need merge

~13:00 changed config. Restarted statsproc. covar_redo to go back to beginning
of this config. Config has new horiz array heights and new names for
some pressure sensors. Still need new heights for profile...

~13:30 We're off to Moro Bay for some R&R&R...

I sometimes get the following error when trying "aup", but a second "aup" always works:
Starting adam code.../usr/local/isff/scripts/adam/start_adam: line 30: 11238 Illegal instruction dsm '$ISFF/projects/$PROJECT/ISFF/config/'$CONFIG_XM
L
.
[Gordon says that this is an artifact of moving code from Viper RAM to SD card. If second
"aup" works, live with it.]

8/12 (twh: actually 8/11):

0945 - unpinched tubing to P.bedard
0950 - turned "profile" adam off to swap serial card
1005 - turned "profile" back on - don't have 8M card (rather than 8P)
1020-1030 - moved bedard port from on stake near ground to 13b boom (back a bit
from sonic)
1106 - added "adnaup" crontab on profile to restart every hour at 15 min after the hour.
~1130-1230:

  • measured all heights on profile:

1150-1210: replaced CSAT 720 with 733 at profile.8m (since high? speeds). (733 was the original "low" sonic at 8m when I arrived here, I think...)

6-4-09 (twh) I found a corresponding break in the 8m sonic data on 8/11, not 8/12

1210-1215: decided that it wasn't worth moving TRH's by 2cm in height. (7m wouldn't fit 2cm lower
anyway.)
1215: secured profile adam box

Daily status 11 aug

Activity highlights:

  • now in array4.
  • See profile note, some outages last night, board problem
  • Logbook Wiki and NCAR Web server is still down.
    [The work on a sql server update on saturday caused the problem.
    The vendor/ncar staff expect a patch by midnight tonight will allow
    'logbook' to be back up by tomorrow morning.]

Diamond board problems overnight and today. Lost ~8hours.
Need to swap new 8P board with an old version 8M, but none available.
Started crontab to 'adn / aup' every hour to force a restart. Seems to be helping
and we've gotten data since doing this ~11pdt.
Heights of sensors are the same and array3.

T: ok
RH: sensor that is at 5.8m is up to 2% off. Didn't change throughout array #3 period,
now is not important in array #4.

co2: ok, 14-17 mmol/m^3 (some nights have large values, some don't)

diag: ok? spikes in 4.8m.
samples.sonic: ok
spd: ok?, Swapped sonic at 8m.
Replaced 720 with 733. 720 had been reporting a bit too high. Had been at
7m, and when we swapped it to 8m the high reading showed up.
dir: ok
w: ok
tc: ok, still strange 7m/8m ordering.

-----------------------
-----------------------
Note: From here on the specific sensor comments are removed because we
began a rerun of all of the covars which caused display/naming issues with
running the 'daily.qq' plots. From the brief looks, everything was up and
running in down1,2, pressure1,2 upwind and profile.

array 4 heights

ref3 is ~1.505m above top of profile's plate.
center of sonic is 0.053m above top of boom
TRH is 0.37m below top of boom, thus top of TRH boom should be 0.42m above top of sonic boom.

In array 4:

  • East side of array is has height of the top of 1b's boom 5.37m above ref4
  • We set upwind's sonics to this same top of boom (plate) being 5.37m above Ref4
  • Ref4 is 0.040m above Ref3
  • Ref3 is 0.027m above top of "1.55m" sonic
  • THUS,
    + profile "7m" top of sonic boom should be 5.447m above "1.55m" sonic.
    + profile "8m" top of sonic boom should be 6.447m above "1.55m" sonic.
    + profile "7m" top of TRH boom should be 5.447m + 0.42m = 5.867 above "1.55m" sonic.
    + profile "8m" top of TRH boom should be 6.447m + 0.42m = 6.867 above "1.55m" sonic.

Our measurements of profile:

  • 1.55m top sonic boom is -0.027m below ref3
    (remaining entries are with respect to top of 1.55m sonic boom)
    sonic TRH
    1.55 0.000 0.376
    3.x 2.140 2.542
    4.x 3.352 3.749
    5.x 4.286 4.710
    7.x 5.582 5.886
    8.x 6.508 6.878

Note that 7.x TRH of 5.886m is 2.1cm higher than desired and 8.x TRH of 6.787 is 1.1cm higher than
desired. We can't move the 7.x TRH lower due to Rohn internal braces, thus, we'll leave both
of these.

Numbers "AGL":
1.55 1.555 1.511

For more details, see the ahats logbook at https://wiki.ucar.edu/display/ahatslogbook
...but wiki.ucar.edu has been down this weekend...

Good wind direction:
array#3 (jul 29 12:30 - aug 8 06:00) had 66 hours (13 unstable, 53 stable).
array#4 (aug 9 18:00 - present) has 8 hours (0 unstable, 8 stable).

(+/- = ~1 std deviation among variables at the same height)

11.b now measuring p with the 202BG connected between the
Bedard port and CHATS reference. P.0m poor name now is the
portable Paroscientific standard with reasonable resolution, but
low sampling rate.

p: ok, +/- 0.03 mb plot scale too large to tell
p'p': ok, +/- 0.0001 mb^2 small but perhaps okay -- only stable data to look at
w'p': ok, +/- 0.001 m/s mb

Pref: ok, reconnected to volume at start of this config.
P: ok

Profile: ,select.p
--------
Was kept on during reconfig. Heights of sensors are the same.

T: ok
RH: sensor that is at 5.8m is up to 2% off. Didn't change throughout array #3 period,
now is not important in array #4.

co2: ok, 14-17 mmol/m^3 (some nights have large values, some don't)
w'co2': ok, -0.01 m/s mmo/m^3 at midday

diag: ok? spikes in 4.8m.
samples.sonic: ok
spd: ok?, 8m now mostly higher than 7m, but could mean 8m is too high (after swap)
We proved that the WiFi antenna was not bothering it...

w'w': ok
u*: ok, some imaginary values with light winds
sigma_w/u*:
w'tc': ok (lowest near the ground?)

waves

Starting ~21:00 on 8/10, I see waves in some of the data.  Unfortunately, "profile" died shortly thereafter, but this might be an interesting period to look at.

wiki down

From 11:00AM on Sat until early this morning, the UCAR WWW servers (including this wiki server) were down due to a software <upgrade> done in Boulder.  I'm just starting to upload some text files we've written in the meantime.

final reconfig

Starting 06:00 today, John, Khuong, Lou, and I started the reconfig to array 4.  This marks the end of array3.

- shutdown all adams except profile

- dropped horiz arrays

- split into 2 teams:

S&K: shifted sensors to east array; set EMT/up-guy system on bottom 13 [note new sonic installed for 13b; 5t replaced since array appeared bent]

J&L: dropped upwind 3-8

- lunch

S&K: mostly installed Pref tubing; moved downwind1&pressure1; cabled east side of array; rerouted power&e-net to upwind

J&L: dropped upwind 9-11; roughly placed trident tripods

Left at 18:00 -- turned downwind1&pressure1 to check, but array is still down.

A long day, but we're on schedule...

Still to do:

- horiz array:

    - cable west side

    - drill holes to set top EMT boom guys

    - raise and attach top boom guys

- tridents:

    - level/orient tripods

    - build last 2 trident masts

    - add sonics

    - erect

Left at 18:00 -- turned on downwind1&pressure1 to check them out, but array is still close to ground.

A long day, but we're on schedule...

Still to do:

heights

For my own sanity, I try here to document all the heights so far:

 (These are now updated with the array 4 values.  Not all of these make sense [different measurements when things weren't moved].  I'm working now to resolve them.)

*3/18/09, TWH added the height of the sonic measurement volume above the top of the boom (5.5? cm).

**Note that the 7m sonic was moved up "about 4-5 cm" on Aug 3 at 09:41 (see logbook entry)

 "-" means shouldn't have changed from last

"x" means value not needed

TRH at "5m" and "4m" were moved between array 2 and array 3, but measured during array 4.

final values to be used in bold

ref4 was 0.040m above ref3, but for the profiles, the reference was the top of the lowest sonic boom, which was 0.027m below ref3.
