Site soil sensor histories | |
===================== | |
Note that I am using the period data for CS616 output (in uSeconds) at sites where this is available. | |
## GLand | |
### 2007-06-05 (First TOA5) | |
* 23 SWC (`cs616_wcr(x)` and 23 Tsoil (`soil_water_T(x)`) headers. | |
* `soil_water_T(x)` fields seem to be some kind of artifact - the values are scaled right, but they seem to be logging wrong (usually they are all the same). | |
### 2008-08-21 | |
* 1 CS616 fixed | |
### 2009-02-20 | |
* Program change | |
* Stopped reading the 1 extra CS616 | |
* `cs616` headers changed to `(x,y)` format | |
* Added HFP and TCAV measurements | |
* Still no Tsoil measurements | |
### 2009-07-15 | |
* 20 thermocouples were installed at the site | |
* Headers are `mux25t_signal_Avg(x)` | |
* The depths are approximately the same as the CS616s, except that there are no sensors at G3 37.5 and 52.5 | |
### 2009-08 | |
* Fire at the site. CS616 and TCs went to NAN | |
### 2010-2-24 | |
* Thermocouple multiplexer turned on and TC measurements appear to be working again shortly after this. | |
### 2010-05-12 | |
* 20 Thermocouples and 18 new echo EC5 sensors installed in 4 pits. | |
* Thermocouples buried at all 5 depths in each pit, but there are no 52.5cm echo probes in the 2 Open pits. | |
* Note that the TC headers did not change from `mux25t_signal_Avg(x)`, which is problematic. | |
* There are also 4 "dummy" columns, which don't seem to be working. | |
### 2011-3-10 | |
* Echo probes rewired so that Grass1 and Open 1 have all 5 depths and Open2 and Grass2 have only 2.5 to 37.5cm depths. | |
### 2011-3-23 | |
* 20 CS616s were installed in the 4 pits alongside the Echo probes and TCs, but they are not read until June. | |
### 2011-06-09 to 2011-07-27 | |
* New programs to read the CS616 probes, and there was some downtime during this changeover. | |
* Echo probes in Open pits were not read and headers disappeared after this change. | |
* CS616s were briefly read into `mux_soil_wcr(1-20)` headers (3 days), then into `swc_open1_depthincm_Avg`. | |
* Both of these headers persisted after July, but only the `swc_...` have data. | |
### 2012-08-09 | |
* Program change that reduced soil measurement cycling from 5min to 30min frequency. | |
### 2014-01-16 | |
* New program with new headers: `SWC_G1_2p5_Avg`, `SWC_echo_G1_2p5_Avg`, `SoilT_G1_2p5_Avg` | |
#### 2014-01-17 and 2014-02-17 (2 TOA5 files) | |
* Tsoil headers are messed up. There are no O3 and G3 pits and the headers are mixed up with the current ones, so these need to be renamed | |
## JSav | |
### 2007-05-04 (First TOA5) | |
* No SWC or SoilT data. | |
### 2007-08-31 | |
* New program - SWC and Tsoil headers present | |
* 20 Tsoil sensors logging under `soilT_Avg(x)` (but there are 28 headers), VWC logging under `Period(X)` and `VWC(X)`, but both are NANs | |
* There was a gap in the data between 8/6 and 8/31 | |
### 2007-09-24 | |
* Now the SWC sensors are working (logging to `VWC(X)`). | |
### 2008-02-25 | |
* SWC headers changed to `cs616_wcr(x)`, but no data logged yet. | |
* There are also `soil_water_T(1)` headers, but these also have no data, and may just be an artifact. | |
### 2008-03-31 | |
* Data is now logging into `cs616_wcr(x)` and `soil_water_T(x)` fields - data look similar but are scaled differently (not sure what the `_T` field is) | |
* Actually I think, in this case the`_T` field is calculated VWC, while the `cs616_wcr(x)` field is the period. | |
### 2008-06-10 | |
* SHF plates installed | |
### 2008-12-18 to 2009-02-02 | |
* Soil sensors down for a while here | |
### 2009-07-08 | |
* There has been a changeover in soil data and probe locations | |
* Tsoil headers changed to `SoilT_J1_2.5_Avg` | |
* Unfortunately the period headers `cs616_wcr(x)`, stayed the same, but now refer to different locations. We'll have to change the old ones to `_old` in the code | |
* The calculated VWC headers changed to:`SWC_J1_2.5` | |
### Summer 2011 | |
* Intermittent problems with SWC sensors (recording NAN). | |
### 2011-08-11 | |
* MUX replaced and seems to have fixed problem. | |
### Spring 2012 | |
* More intermittent CS616 problems | |
### 2012-04-27 | |
* CS616s removed from CR5000 and placed on a CR1000 in the same box. | |
* `swc_j1_2.5_avg` headers are calculated VWC, `PA_uS_Avg(1-18)` are the cs616 periods | |
* These data come in on separate TOA5 files that are in the `soil` directory. | |
* Headers disappear from CR5k TOA5 files at this point | |
### 2014-01-10 | |
* Header changes for CR5k | |
* `sap_Avg(x)` to `sap_J1a_Avg` | |
* `open_north_Avg` to `shf_open_north_Avg` | |
* Added soil CO2 measurements | |
### 2014-01-17 | |
* Header changes affecting the CR1000 soil moisture datalogger | |
* cs616 headers changed to `SWC_O1_2p5` format | |
### 2014-02-25 to 2014-02-27 | |
* Reinstalled CS616s in new pits (see new headers in format `SWC_J1_2p5_Avg`, `SoilT_J1_2.5_Avg`) | |
* All CS616s are on the CR5000 again | |
* Soil heat flux plates reinstalled in 4 (?) pits (3 pits in data headers). | |
* TCAVs added in similar pits as well. | |
### 2014-03-28 | |
* Dug up and reinstalled CS616 and Tsoil at 5, 10, 30 cm. Headers changed on 4/15 (possibly earlier) | |
## SLand | |
### 2007-05-30 (first TOA5) | |
* 21 `soil_water_T(1)` and `cs616_wcr(x)` headers, but they don't seem to be functioning correctly. | |
### 2007-07-05 | |
* Now they are functioning, but sensors 12 and 13 are all NANs | |
* There is no temperature data. | |
### 2009-02-20 | |
* New program: 22 SWC sensor columns with `soil_water_T_Avg(1)` and `cs616_wcr_Avg(x)` headers | |
* Now there are 6 heat flux plates | |
### 2009-03-31 | |
* At this point some rewiring was done on the AM16/32 Mux where the CS 616s are connected | |
* It seems that there were a couple problems: | |
* There are only 20 probes, but 22 are being output by the datalogger program | |
* Pit O2 sensors are wired out of order at the MUX, so they have been logged in the wrong headers | |
* Not sure what to do about this yet | |
### 2009-06-24 | |
* 20 thermocouples wired in to AM25t mux - reading into `mux25t_signal_Avg(1)` headers | |
### 2012-08-09 | |
Program changes: | |
* Tsoil now read into `soilt_S2_52.5_Avg` headers. | |
* CS616s now read every 30 minutes. | |
## New GLand | |
### 2009-08-06 (first TOA5 file) | |
* There are 20 CS616s and 20 Tsoil sensors with headers: `cs616_wcr(20)`, `SWC_g1_2.5` (calculated VWC - not used), and `SoilT_g1_2.5_Avg` | |
### 2010-02-24 | |
* Header changes for SWC to `cs616_wcr(1,1) `, `SWC_` (calculated values) headers disappeared. | |
### 2010-03-12 | |
* 10 of the CS616s stopped being logged - Only Grass1 and Open1 probes are now being measured | |
* Order of measurements changed to G1 O1 G2 O2 for Tsoil | |
### 2010-03-26 | |
* New CS616s were added and wired in the G1 O1 G2 O2 order, but it doesn't look like they are being logged yet. | |
### 2010-05-05 | |
* Wiring continues to change, but it doesn't seem to affect the TOA5 files. | |
* Supposedly TC order is G1, O2, O1 G2 | |
### 2010-05-12 | |
* Further rewiring: Supposedly CS616 and TC order is now G1, G2, O1, O2. | |
* Headers haven't changed | |
### 2010-05-28 | |
* New program that should now measure new CS616s and thermocouples in the order they are actually wired (see above). | |
* It may be worth swapping headers in the processing code to account for mistaken probe identity over the last 2 months. | |
### 2011-06-23 | |
* New program for new TCAV added (installed on 5-24 - in open pit) | |
### 2014-01-17 | |
* Some header changes (fairly minor) | |
## PJ | |
PJ is different - soil, sapflow, and CO2 data are logged by a separate CR23x at the site. Data from this logger is periodically downloaded and saved. | |
###2007-11-09 (first TOA5) | |
* No soil water or temperature measurements yet. | |
### 2008-06-19 | |
* New headers for Echo probes and Soil T arrive, but values are invalid. | |
* 24 Echo probes: `echo_wcr(x,y)` | |
* 25 Tsoil probes: `soilT_Avg(x)` | |
### 2008-08-12 | |
Values finally valid for Echo probes and Tsoil on main logger (fixed by someone - in logbook). | |
* I still don't know anything about the pit structure/depths for these SWC or Tsoil probes | |
### 2009-03-22 | |
Thermocouples installed, not logging yet | |
### 2009-05-12 | |
