Testing SO2 Instrument and Flows

@10:42 Disconnected SS line from valve to do flow cal.

Moved SkyCam

David and I moved the SkyCam from the OH platform to the Ameriflux array around 11:00 am EDT. It is sitting on another box just north of the computer box. David will check the program every 2 hours ( 1, 3, 5, & 7 pm) today. I will check it tomorrow starting at 9am through ~7pm.

Yi-Ting did a call on their CO last night and again today over lunch. I have been seeing a large (2-5 ppb) SO2 plume above the canopy the last 2 nights, but very little below. It will be interesting to see if the NOx or CO also saw something similar.

The SAFS is still down, I may try to unjam the monochrometer but the amp probably still needs to be replaced.

JF

Restart Above Canopy DAFS

Restarted above canopy DAFS system just before 3:45 EDT. System restarted fine after clearing the errors.

Also trying to post a time lapse video of the below canopy cloud cam on the OH scaffold railing.

Thursday update

The weather has been cool and rainy all afternoon. Got an email from Barry this morning saying that it sounded like the monochrometer had jammed and the amp might be bad, so now we have 2 problems. Hopefully I will hear soon whether or not he thinks I should tr to fix it here or just wait until we get it back to Houston and repair the whole system there.

Other than that the rest of the systems seem to be ok. David is cleaning the optics below canopy each day and the above canopy every other day. He takes the external drive out to the Ameriflux array to back up the data since we don't have a wireless signal out there. Ryan has figured out how to apply the baseline corrections and slope to the SO2 data, so he has reprocessed all of it up to today.

The SkyCam seems to be working ok, but I wasn't thinking about backing up the data when I plugged the camera into the second USB port on the front of the computer. Rather than unplugging something or fighting to get at the back I am backing up the SO2 data and pics to my laptop via VNC. It was fairly quick this afternoon so hopefully it won't be too painful for the reaminder of the project.

Yesterday I forgot to reset the So2 cal times, so this morning I reset them to happen overnight tonight at the regular times. So far we haven't tied the CO cal into the system, probably won't. I'll talk to Steve tomorrow about replacing the remaining teflon std add line with SS.

JF

SAFS & SkyCam Update

Installed SkyCam onto SO2 computer. Set DF to cycle the power on the camera at the top of every hour. One minute after the hour Windows Scheduled Tasks is set to restart the SkyCam batch file. This should minumize the data lost if the program crashes. This can be done more frequently if needed.

I will try to get a couple of days of images from the OH Platform where the camera is now before moving over to the Ameriflux array. Won't be able to cycle the power remotely at the array, so I will ask David to help check on it every hour and restart it if needed.

After Ameriflux I will probably install it on the rail of the WSU trailer.

Also worked on the SAFS some this evening. Checked all of the connections on the back of the front panel board and checked the internal components of the amplifier. Nothing seemed loose or damaged. The power supply was providing good +/- 15VDC when I checked earlier.

The shield on the PMT connection at the amp was slightly frayed at the crimp, but doesn't seem like that would be the cause of the problem.

After I reconnected everything and turned the system back on the 10^8 channel read about -0.5V, but slowly drifted up to zero. I recieved a monochrometer initialization error when I tried restarting the VI. Tried various combinations of restarting the computer and SAFS in case it was a hung com port issue.

When I went to look at the connection to the mono inside the case after checking the external cables I could hear a loud humming/buzzing sound coming from the mono, so I shut the system down for the night. Will have to ask Barry what might have happened and see what we can come up with tomorrow.

JF

SO2 std adds

Running a series of SO2 std adds this morning and afternoon to try and equilibrate system, the 2:30 am add didn't seem to work, and the 10 & 11 am cals were different but realtively stable. I have set the cals to run again at 13:24 and 14:24 today. Once the std adds have settled down we will add the CO cal into the std add line and cal both instruments during the overnight period.

JF

Windows Update caused SO2 PC reboot

Several other computers in the lab rebooted just after 3:00 am, found that the Windows updates were set to install and restarted the computers. Changed our settings to download but not install the updates.

JF

SAFS not responding and SO2 DF Crash

Logged into the site ~8:30 this morning and found that the SAFS system is running but doesn't seem to be getting any light through. Will have to check this as soon as i get to the site.

The SO2 computer looks like it must have rebooted around 3:00 am for some reason, and we lost SO2 and switching until just after 8:30 this morning. Need to move a DF license to this machine because it was sitting on the propt saying there are only 10 days remaining on the trial version. Will try to move it from the SAFS computer.

The 2:24am cal sequence looks like it ran, however the instrument didn't respond. Will have to double check that all of the connections are made properly and will try a manual cal this morning.

JF

Switch to SS line

Switched to 1/8" SS cal line from SM SO2 tank to MFC. Closed and capped SM UHP air cylinder and capped both ends of the 1/8" teflon line in case we need to go back to it. Will test the artifact on the SS in a couple of days. System is ready for tonight's cals.

JF

SO2 Artifact testing

15:18 Begin std add with SM UHP air above canopy
15:30 End std add, remain above canopy; peak ~0.5 ppb, So2 artifact ~0.1-0.15 ppb
15:36 Resume sample switching, begin above canopy

16:18 Begin std add with SM UHP air above canopy; peak ~0.1 ppb
16:30 End Std add, remain above canopy; artifact difficult to discern
16:36 Resume Sample switching, begin above canopy

17:18 Begin std add with SM UHP air above canopy
17:30 End Std add, remain above canopy; peak and potential artifact similar to previous hour
17:36 Resume Sample switching, begin above canopy

17:18 Begin std add with SM UHP air above canopy
17:30 End Std add, remain above canopy; peak and potential artifact similar to previous hour, hard to distinguish from ambient
17:36 Resume Sample switching, begin above canopy

Plan to go to tower after dinner and switch to stainless line and set up for regular overnight cal.

JF

Moved SO2 inlet to WSU tower

~10:30am Steve helped me move the SO2 inlet from under the short OH scaffold to the WSU tower. I put half of a teflon filter holder on it to act as a funnel/bugscreen and have it tiewrapped to the lower WSU inlet with the large funnel and mesh screen. Will try to remember to take pictures of it this afternoon.

Was going to hook up zero air to SO2 cal line to look for the SO2 artifact but Setve couldn't find the zero air tank he wanted to use, so we will do that testing this afternoon after he talks to Mary Anne or Yi-Ting. I still need to find someone who has a tubing cutter for the stainless line, otherwise I'll run into Cook's and buy one there.

JF

Cleaned Ameriflux array

Cleaned Ameriflux array and verified program is still working and splitting files ~10:00am
JF

SAFS wavelength cal

Performed SAFS wavelength cal.

File name: 090727_2037_A01.wvl
07/27/09 20:37 -3.94 -3.58 -2.30

old cal: 32704
new cal: 32659

redid wvl cal after shift, file name 090727_2052_A01.wvl
07/27/09 20:52 0.19 1.51 3.41; Peak at 2967 is very symmetrical

Reinstalled head and started program, in nighttime mode waiting for tomorrow.

JF

SO2 Manual Cal

Starting @10:24 running a manual cal.

Modified cal sequence for 10:24 and 11:24, running at .5sccm.

Changing SO2 filters and Changing Cal Flow

7/27 @9:30 Changing SO2 filter and particle filter.

@9:45 Finished changing filters

Cal Flow switched to .5 cc/min

Sequence added to reset switching at 11:59:30 to eliminate time drift.

SO2 Std Add cal point changed

Steve increased SO2 cal gas flow to 2 sccm from 1.5 for tomorrow's overnight cal as part of multipoint std add cal tests.

Editing So2 std add sequences to keep above/below schedule on schedule.

Updates to SO2 DaqFactory code & Ameriflux Array

Added section to Startup sequence to wait until an even 12th minute to begin switching the above/below canopy valve.

Also found that the above canopy sample time was still 10s short of 6m cycle so I added one more valve set & wait command, now above and below canopy switching are both exactly 6m long & the cycles aren't shifting every hour like they had been previously.

A day or two ago Ryan and I both noticed that the below canopy mode was only running for 4m, so we added 2 more minutes to the code. Appears that the 4m mode started back around the 12-13th time frame. Ryan is calculating the SO2 detection limit at 4m. He will change sample and zero filters on Monday.

I also moved the wait for next hour line of the zeroing code to the beginning of the sequence so it won't zero right away when started anymore.

DF says it only has 13 days remaining on the trial version which gets us to the 7th, but I think as long as the program stays running and doesn't restart on the 7th or 8th it will continue to run until the campaign is over.

Will probably work with Steve on Monday to look at the SO2 artifact in the teflon tubing and make the switch to the new stainless lines. Will probably do a multipoint std add as well, intercept should be artifact and give us a nice cal. For now I am going to give Ryan the slope I got from the cals done at UH before the project to apply to the prelim data. He was able to split the data into 2 waves with interpolation and is working to apply baseline corrections. I gave him some example code from the Aztec that may help him write his macro.

We will also probably tie the CO cal stream into the std add line downstream of the flow controller and let them cal at the same time we do at 2:30 & 3:30 am.

Also picked up a 100' extension cord at Cook's and got the array started up. We are roughly in the center E-W and little bit on the north side. Further north seemed to be much more open than the rest of the area around so we moved to a "more representative" area, I hope. Because 3 of the sensors have short leads we went with 3 in a triangle in the middle and the other six ~15' out in roughly a hexagon shape. The sun was very hign so I don't think we will have a problem with the SZA having the sun come in from an area outside what will be mapped by Gil's group.

On Monday David will take pictures of each sensor (surrounding plants and view looking up) and record GPS locations.

Still need to get SAFS cal sequence cheatsheet from Barry so I can get that going, but so far the rest of the instruments seem to be working fairly well.

Moved several instruments today

First thing this morning started moving the PNNL DAFS on the top of the tower to a location very close to the OH inlet

Then dissassembled below canopy instrument package.
jNO2 was moved to WSU trailer
UH-DAFS moved to SAFS below canopy (co-located), just before dinner time.
After dinner, below canopy BF-3 was moved to mid-canopy location.
Mid canopy DAFS instrument is now getting recorded by the Above Canopy LABJACK.

David moved the 9 UV Sensors to the South side of the PROPHET Lab,

We met Gil from Ameriflux and he showed us his 3-D forest LAI and Leaf Structure Plots.
We plan to move the UV sensor array to Ameriflux site later this week.

We need to calibrate the SAFS (hopefully tomorrow) and need to move the SO@/SO inlet.

co-locating CO and SO2

1343 EDT
- disconnected CO line from filterpack and plugged
- attached ~2m of new 1/4" PFA tubing to filter pack
- cut SO2 'trunk' tubing upstream of SO2 tee
- connected new 1/4" PFA to tee

main trunk flow was not able to maintain at 8 SLPM when switched to below canopy inlet

1500 EDT
changed trunk flow to 7 SLPM and adjusted CO sample/Zero switching to coincide with SO2 timing

SO2 cal with new 1/8 inch tubing

SO2 cal at 11:20 after a couple of hours of loading tubing. Cal peak is less, and cal mean is less. Rough guess is that we may have 200 pptv SO2 cal artifact from telfon tubing.

We may want to switch to SS or Cu tubing.

Switched from ZA standard add back to SO2 standard add

Reconnected SO2 cal cylinder to 1/8" SO2 standard addition line at 09:50AM
After 2 days of "ZA Cals", the SO2 peak has disappeared.
Still not sure if we need to correct for SO2 "memory" from the telfon valve.
But after a couple of days of ZA flush, the telfon valve has cleaned up.
Need to take a closer look at this.

Cleaned above canopy dafs/jno2

Cleaned above canopy DAFS and jNO2 optics approximately 20/20.

Seems like we can use appogee pyronameter for mid-canopy Solar Sensor.

Replaced SAFS mono

SAFS is finally working!! I don't think it was the mono, but glad it is working anyway.

Replaced CM112 (s/n 50248) with s/n 50249

Now need to calibrate new mono.

SAFS sampling from below canopy on SW corner of PROPHET Tower.
Just above the roof of the PROPHET lab building. (need to measure this as well).

other settings of note:

s/n 50248 cal factor: 32727
s/n 50249 cal factor: 32704
s/n 50248 zero offset #1: 4608
s/n 50249 zero offset #1: 4612
s/n 50248 zero offset #2: 4774
s/n 50249 zero offset #2: 4151

Cleaned above and below canopy optics

Cleaned above and below canopy optics.
Trying to get SAFS working. Looks like will have to replace mono. Not sure why still no signal.

UV sensors placed in box

4 uv sensors that were around the OH inlet are now in the datalogger box.
Other 5 UV sensors still in "forest".
Need to redeploy these all nine sensors.
.
Also notice that one of the senors is not working. The HONO instrument was "crushing" on of the senor cables. This could be the reason for no signal, but need to verify.
.
Shepson group would like to have some UV measurements at the canopy height.
Will explore the option of moving one of the 24bit dataloggers to the mid-canopy grey box.
Not sure it will work.

SO2 PC setup missing data 11:30-12:15

Setup SO2 instrument to work on SO2 PC
(198.110.84.200)

This took about 45 minutes. So no SO2 data today between 11:30 AM and 12:15 PM

Seems to almost work. Not getting all serial communications working properly.
I need Jimmy's help on this.

Did get SAFS instrument to communicate with SAFS PC. So as soon as we can get SO2 com
set up, then I can start working with SAFS below canopy.

Forgot to restart (repower) below canopy jNO2 FR

All systems working we this AM, except below canopy jNO2 FR. I forgot to turn power back on lastnight after re-wiring to datalogger. Busy this AM taking Maggie and Serita to airport.

Raining very hard at time this AM. IU team is behind schedule with moving of OH/HO2 instrument.

Rewired Below Canopy jNO2 FR

Tired to reduce noise in below canopy jNO2 FR by removing wires from LabJack, removing some additional insulation and re-installing on LJ.

Cleaned Below Canopy Instruments / CABINEX morning meeting results

Cleaned Below Canopy Instruments after lunch.
CABINEX Science Team deceided today is the day to finish below canopy HOx measurements.
IU team will take next few days to do testing and to move OH/HOx LIF Instrument and Total OH Reactivity (TOR) inlet to top of tower.

WSU asked if we could move our below canopy DAFS to WSU below canopy 6m tower.
IU asked if we could deploy one of our jNO2 Filter Radiometers or DAFS instrument adjacent to their inlet b/c they are worried about reflections.

So we will try to accomodate them. I will also see if we can raise on of the Above Canopy systems (either jNO2 FR or PNNL DAFS) to about 6 feet above platform, so we know it is not impacted by other instruments (whichever one we do not move over near HOx inlet).

Cleaned above and below canopy optics after rain over

Cleaned above and below canopy optics between 10:30 and 10:45 AM LT.
Water on most optics.

TSI cam not working this am

TSI cam not working this am. Got a strange error (looked like old, bad image "stuck" in camera.
Recycling TSI power seemed to do the trick. Will have to remember to write down circuit number so we can cycle power from the bottom of tower.

Raining pretty good this am. Lost power in our cabin from electrical fire a D3. Unable to check instruments remotely as laptop powersupply also bad.

Cleaned below canopy optics

Cleaned below canopy optics and worked on data reduction macros/cal factors.

Things working well. Hot day.

Cleaned above and below canopy optics

Cleaned above and below canopy optics.
Below canopy optics very dirty.
Need to clean these every day!!!

Also took some photos of above canopy site. SUNY lowered their NH3 inlet about 12 inches.
Still too high, but better.

Reset GFI outlet breaker on CB#9

Reset GFI breaker on outlet #9 at 20 m.
Noticed at 0800 that no data from AC DAFS and that AC jNO2 was very noisy and not responding.
After many attemps (and failures) to communicate with DAFS Front End Electronics, realized that probably no power to electronics (or at least needed to reset power to FEE).
In this case, it was no power.

Outlet #9, the GFI outlet that Above Canopy Grey Box devices are plugged into, includes:

PNNL jNO2 powersupply
PNNL DAFS powersupply
USB hub powersupply (which powers BF-3).

Cleaned Below Canopy UV sensors

Clean Below canopy UH DAFS, UH jNO2, and BF-3.

Need to clean UV sensors, call Apogee to ask about cleaning.
Also should ship skycam back to UH for repairs.

TSI camera realtime processing

Realtime processing stopped on TSI. Move processed files to new folder and deleted txt files in captured directory. This seemed to restart the realtime image processing. Still looking for best software to make jpeg movies. Tried jImage but not designed for this number of files.

Above Canopy DAFS and jNO2 turned off 1:00 AM

The is 2nd time Above Canopy DAFS and jNO2 stopped working at exactly 1:00 AM.
Fixed at 0900.
Symptom is that unable to communicate with USB Hub in grey box.
Easily fixed by rebooting, but need to have DaqFactory and SpeckMoe restart automatically.

Not sure what is happening at 1:00 AM. Could be virus update or something similar.

Changed SO2 calibration routine

SO2 calibration routine now cals above and below canopy once per day.
Above canopy calibration is at 02:24 and is as follows:
Turn off above/below switching
6 min sample above canopy
8 min standard add above canopy
Turn on above/below canopy switching (which starts with above canopy)

Below canopy calibration is at 03:24 and is as follows:
Turn off above/below switching
6 min sample below canopy
8 min standard add below canopy
6 min sample below canopy
Turn on above/below canopy switching (which starts with above canopy)

Cleaned heads above canopy

Cleaned DAFS, jNO2 (Zenith and Nadir), TSI above canopy. Asked NH3 measurement folks from SUNY to lower down their instrument as could have been shading DAFS and jNO2.

SO2 Filter Changed

7/10/09 - @15:25

SO2 filter changed on zero line.

7/10/09- @15:43
Added second SO2 filter on zero line

Above canopy DAFS no working this AM

Arrived at site 0900, Above Canopy DAFS not working.
Could not communicate with Front End Electronics.
Climbed tower and recycled power.
But seems that problem was that Prolific USB-Serial Converter was not showing up in Device Manager as COM3.
Rebooted computer and that seemed to fix it.

Getting data again at 9:18 AM LT.

Also notice that Above Canopy PC not set up to autoboot into DaqFac and SpecMoe.

Cleaned below canopy UV instruments

Clean below canopy UV instruments with ethanol and kimwips. Did not clean UV sensors. Need to check with manufacturer on best way to clean.

Wanted to clean Above canopy sensor, but too much activity on tower.

Changes to SO2 instrument

Plumbed up SO2 cylinder to 10 sccm flow controller.
Now need to plumb standard add flow controller to three way add valve.
Changed SO2 sub-manifold flow rate from 5.o lpm to 8.0 lpm
- SO2 instrument pressure when sampling from PROPHET manifold at 5.0 lpm = 666 mmHg
- SO2 instrument pressure when sampling from PROPHET manifold at 8.0 lpm = 650 mmHg
- SO2 instrument pressure when sampling from sub-manifold at 8.0 lpm = 591 mmHg
-

Standard Add flow rate is: 1.5 lpm

SO2 "plume" and Changed VNC passwords

SO2 "plume" this AM with flow from SE. Was approximately500 pptv or so. Nice zeros and good Above vs Below canopy gradient.

Changed VNC password on all systems to: uhpt

Too complicated to remember all ips and pw.

SO2 cal cylinder arrived.

Data Backup

Overcast, cold, rainy day.
Backed up all data to external hard disk
Ryan re-installed WinXP on SO2 PC.
Cleaned up lab space.

July 6th

Added features to SO2 Daqfactory
Downloaded Data - Ryan and David starting to plot
Tried to fix Sky Cam. Got it working for several minutes.
--Replaced 6V power supply, which helped.
--Then rewired to put in enclosure and did not work again.
-- Camera is turning on and getting 6 V. Not sure why not communicating with PC via USB.
-- Replaced USB cable end. But need to try different cable.

CABINEX Group Meeting in Lakeside Lab at 4:30PM.
Discussed OH/HO2 data. Agreed to sample below canopy a few days longer, hoping for warmer weather.
Rained in afternoon/evening.

Need to do:
-Purchase back up usb external harddisk to back up data for all systems.
-Clean heads
-Take photos of systems at top of tower.
- Work on SAFS

Update July 5th

All installed systems appear to be working fine.

Only outstanding issues are:
1) Bad cable on below canopy SkyCam
2) Re-Install WinXP Pro on SO2 DAQ PC
3) Set up SAFS below canopy (waiting on install of Win XP on SO2 PC, currently using SAFS PC for SO2) -- OK to mount SAFS head and get everything ready.

Other things to do:
1) Start looking at data
2) Add some features to SO2 Daqfactory code (i.e., better indicator of when sampling above or below, when in zero, etc.)
3) Clean up lab
4) Move boxes to location out of the weather.

SO2 Peak!!

Massive (30 ppbv) SO2 peak this morning. Not sure what it is due to. Winds were from the West. SB proposed SO2 was from Chicago area fireworks. Something to look into.

Otherwise, SB also discovered that valve was not switching between above and below canopy inlets. So all sampling from yesterday to approximately 0900 today was above canopy only.

At 10:50 today we switched zero length from 10 minutes (600 sec) to 12 min (720 sec) so that auto-zero would include both above and below canopy inlets. We also changed time sampling at each inlet from 10 min (600 sec) to 6 min (360 sec).

Not sure this is the best setup. Something to think about.

Cloud Camera Error

Top of the tower equipment causes a mistaken 3% increase in cloud cover for the TSI camera.
Sun glare is often mistaken for cloud cover as well.

Connected SO2 from manifold

Connected SO2 instrument to manifold at 11:40 AM
Now sampling above canopy.
Need to contact Jimmy to have daq factory switch between manifold and below canopy.
Started switching sequence-13:38

Switch SO2 background

SO2 background switched from 1.35 ppbv to 1.20 ppbv. 11:00.

July 3rd

Set up most of below canopy site
DAFS- working fine

jNO2 (UH)- was noisy in "differential" mode on Labjack UE9-Pro. Much better after putting shield cable to ground. Need to fix Above Canopy jNO2 instrument wiring to UE9-Pro.

SkyCam-Not working. Took apart USB extender and cloud cam. Then figured out bad power supply. Purchased new 6V ps from radio shack. Will rewire tomorrow. Power was fluctuating one and off. Could be a short. USB extender works fine. Have Below Canopy skycam connected to SAFS pc, which is the SO2 pc for the time being.

UV array-Set up 4 UV sensor array around OH inlet.
ACD-24 YJE15/33 Pico Data logger
Sensor 1405 in NE corner, ch 1-2 diff (multiplier 6.55)
Sensor 1406 in SE corner, ch 3-4 diff (multiplier 6.37)
Sensor 1407 in SW corner, ch 5-6 diff (multiplier 6.55)
Sensor 1414 in NW corner, ch 9-10 diff (multiplier 6.83)
Data recorded on Toughbook
VNC to toughbook 198.110.84.219
pw: array_pt
Using pico software and real pain. Not sure best way to operate. Need to ask Nicole.
Reoved sensor 1413 from array because very noisy. Much more than all other senors.

SO2 report- instrument seems to be running fine. Logging to safs pc since registry on so2 pc is messed up. Will not allow some programs to run. But main problem is VNC does not work most of the time. Some permissions problem. Need to have Ryan re-install WinXP-Pro. But need to copy off data first.

Tomorrow and the day after--
Set up TSI
Repair Cloud Cam
Set up 5 more uv sensors below canopy
Start working on SAFS
Re-wire above canopy jNO2 signal wires to midcanopy UE9-pro in grey box#1
Setup below canopy direct diffuse instrument
Clean up lab space
Transport empty shipping cases to cargo storage space.
