What is a [[Serial Server]]? 
[[Several Important Network Devices]] (Covers much of the same ground)

** It is old and still up in Barrow in the control shed. Still works but I sent the raspberry pis up to replace it. My plan is to replace it with a small server with a different computer architecture this winter. The reason for that over these small ARM processors is that I'm still trying to work around this weak telemetry problem. Thinking that if it is an x86 (well 64 bit but that style of CPU) that we can leave a copy of loggernet running up there so that when the network goes down as long as the unit is on we are still in business. I am working to put all of its configs in one location though. What was unique to it that hasn't been documented yet is that it used its second ethernet port as a DHCP server in support of a PTZ web cam. That required an additional package, special iptables rules, and some scripts in /usr/local/bin. On the to do list to get going at some point.

===Virtual Machines===

137.229.92.253: /* =Survival Supplies and Personal Gear */

Here's the section from the UAF remote safety document and there are additional resources below: 
https://www.alaska.edu/risksafety/download/RemoteTravelSafetyGuide.pdf

===UAF Helicopter Safety and Etiquette: ===
If possible, deploy some light weight material as a wind sock to indicate wind direction to the pilot. Wait for directions from the pilot before approaching the aircraft. AFTER the pilot has acknowledged your presence and you are cleared to approach the aircraft:
* Approach or leave in pilot's field of vision, usually from the front of the aircraft.
* Approach or leave machine in a crouching manner (to stay below the main rotor).
* Stay away from the tail rotor.
* Approach or leave on the down slope side.
* Carry tools horizontally and below waist level, never upright or over the shoulder.
* Fasten seat belt after entering helicopter and leave it buckled until pilot signals you to get out.
* Never leave the helicopter while it is at a hover.
* Do not touch bubble, or any moving parts (tail rotor, exposed linkage, etc.).
* Do not slam the helicopter doors.
* Wear survival clothing in flight, up to the waist, in case of an emergency.
* Keep heliport clear of loose articles (water bags, empty cans, etc.).
* Keep people away from helicopter during takeoffs and landings.
* Keep cooking and heating fires well clear of helicopter.

===BLM guidance===
(More specific but much of it is focused on the operator rather than the passenger): 
https://www.doi.gov/sites/doi.opengov.ibmcloud.com/files/uploads/Field_Reference_Guide_2014.pdf (chapter 2 and 3 are useful) 
https://www.doi.gov/aviation/library/guides 
 
The biggest difference there is PPE. BLM recommends Nomex or similar for all clothing and UAF is less restrictive. I outline my clothing down below. One take away from aviation safety seminars has been that if your air craft crashes, most of the time there is not a fire triggered by impact but head injuries are always a concern. So be strict on the helmet but it is okay to be less so on the clothing. Also, winter time in Alaska, when you talk risks, hypothermia is a bigger risk in the event of a crash than fire. 
===ASH Handbook and Oil field safety rules===
Here is the current ASH handbook (a safety book issued to all oil field workers): 
http://alaska.conocophillips.com/sustainable-development/safety/Documents/2014%20Alaska%20Safety%20Handbook.pdf 
The helicopter section begins on page 53. 
''Helicopter Travel'' 

* The helicopter pilot is in complete charge of the aircraft and passengers at all times during ight operations. Pilot is to provide passengers with an emergency brie ng prior to ight.
* Keep clear of the helipad until the helicopter has landed. The helipad is not to be used as a staging area for passengers or equipment.
* When boarding or leaving the helicopter, passengers are not to enter the rotor blade arc until the pilot has signaled that it is safe to do so.
* Under no circumstances shall any passenger walk under the tail rotor or tail boom. When it is necessary to walk around the helicopter, the trip is to be made within sight of the pilot and around the front of the aircraft only.
* Do not distract the pilot with unnecessary conversations or actions.
* Never throw anything out of the helicopter because of possible damage to the rotors.
* Passengers shall not be aboard the aircraft during refueling operations.
* Wear appropriate warm clothing and footwear for the weather, or transportation may be denied. Secure loose items such as hats.
* Safety glasses are required for boarding and exiting helicopter where there isn’t a dedicated paved or hard surface heliport.

===Survival Supplies and Personal Gear===
The [[2 Person Helicopter Survival Bag]] (or the three person model) should accompany you on any trip. If you are dropped off. The survival bag should remain with you and your party.

Personal gear In addition:
* Bring food for one day and snacks for a second day (in addition to what is in the survival bag)
* In the helicopter, wear leather gloves
* A helmet is highly recommended
* Try to wear as little synthetic clothing as possible with the exception of foot wear (for winter season travel)
* Bring a light daypack which contains:
** fieldbook & pencil
** Small First Aid Kit
** Multitool
** gloves x2
** fleece vest
** sunscreen
** sunglasses
** water (in a nalgene plus a small thermos)
** balaclava
** fleece hat
** raincoat for wind protection
** temperature depending, a down jacket
** a fleece pull over
** mittens
* store necessary synthetic heavier layers (like down jackets) in the daypack for use once on-site.
* if you will be dropped off somewhere, the 2 person survival bag should remain with you.. and there should be one two person survival bag per two people. So, work with three people requires 2 survival bags.
* check in with the safety point of contact after landing (by text message) at the remote site

Others can chime in here but a typical clothing set up for April & May helicopter work is:
* Large winter boots
* Fire safe pants
* Nomex long underwear top and bottom
* iA merino wool layer mid layer
* Often a medium or heavy weight fleece synthetic lower between nomex and jeans in cooler temperatures or when outdoors for a long while
* on top, a nomex pullover jacket
* Underneath that will be merino wool again
* if it is breezy I will wear my traditional windbreaker under the nomex pullover.
* if it is quite cold I may add another fleece jacket as well but usually they remain in my day pack with heavier layers.

===Communications options===
* Use a satellite tracker (preferably Iridium constellation based)
* Bring a charged satellite phone
* communicate take off and departures to your point of contact
* use of flight following is recommended

* http://www.lounsburyinc.com/snowmachinesafety/

==Cold Injuries==

A key concept for cold injury prevention is exposure time. What is acceptable clothing for 10 minutes at -20F will obviously differ compared to 3 hours at -20F or 8 hours at 0F. You should also take your activity level into account. 3 moderately active hours such as a continuous snow-survey at -20F will require less clothing than say, a stand around type activity such as watching an operator drill holes in the ice or snow.

As far as medical awareness, these two documents are a good starting point:
A good first reference from OSHA: [http://www.osha.gov/Publications/osha3156.pdf Cold Stress, Frostbite, and Hypothermia] 
A second reference from the Army: [https://ke.army.mil/bordeninstitute/published_volumes/harshEnv1/Ch15-NonfreezingColdInjury.pdf NonFreezing Cold Injury]

===Hypothermia===
'''''From Wikipedia:''''' 
'''Mild''' 
''Symptoms of mild hypothermia may be vague with sympathetic nervous system excitation (shivering, hypertension, tachycardia, tachypnea, and vasoconstriction). These are all physiological responses to preserve heat. Cold diuresis, mental confusion, as well as hepatic dysfunction may also be present. Hyperglycemia may be present, as glucose consumption by cells and insulin secretion both decrease, and tissue sensitivity to insulin may be blunted. Sympathetic activation also releases glucose from the liver. In many cases, however, especially in alcoholic patients, hypoglycemia appears to be a more common presentation. Hypoglycemia is also found in many hypothermic patients because hypothermia often is a result of hypoglycemia.'' 
'''Moderate''' 
''Low body temperature results in shivering becoming more violent. Muscle mis-coordination becomes apparent. Movements are slow and labored, accompanied by a stumbling pace and mild confusion, although the victim may appear alert. Surface blood vessels contract further as the body focuses its remaining resources on keeping the vital organs warm. The victim becomes pale. Lips, ears, fingers and toes may become blue.'' 
'''Severe''' 
''As the temperature decreases further physiological systems falter and heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure all decreases. This results in an expected HR in the 30s with a temperature of 28 °C (82 °F).
Difficulty in speaking, sluggish thinking, and amnesia start to appear; inability to use hands and stumbling is also usually present. Cellular metabolic processes shut down. Below 30 °C (86 °F), the exposed skin becomes blue and puffy, muscle coordination becomes very poor, walking becomes almost impossible, and the person exhibits incoherent/irrational behavior including terminal burrowing or even a stupor. Pulse and respiration rates decrease significantly, but fast heart rates (ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation) can occur. Major organs fail. Clinical death occurs. Because of decreased cellular activity in stage 3 hypothermia, the body will actually take longer to undergo brain death.''

===Frostbite===
'''''From Wikipedia:''''' 
''At or below 0 °C (32 °F), blood vessels close to the skin start to constrict, and blood is shunted away from the extremities via the action of glomus bodies. The same response may also be a result of exposure to high winds. This constriction helps to preserve core body temperature. In extreme cold, or when the body is exposed to cold for long periods, this protective strategy can reduce blood flow in some areas of the body to dangerously low levels. This lack of blood leads to the eventual freezing and death of skin tissue in the affected areas. There are four degrees of frostbite. Each of these degrees has varying degrees of pain.'' 
'''First degree''' 
''This is called frostnip and this only affects the surface skin, which is frozen. On the onset, there is itching and pain, and then the skin develops white, red, and yellow patches and becomes numb. The area affected by frostnip usually does not become permanently damaged as only the skin's top layers are affected. Long-term insensitivity to both heat and cold can sometimes happen after suffering from frostnip.'' 
'''Second degree''' 
''If freezing continues, the skin may freeze and harden, but the deep tissues are not affected and remain soft and normal. Second-degree injury usually blisters 1–2 days after becoming frozen. The blisters may become hard and blackened, but usually appear worse than they are. Most of the injuries heal in one month, but the area may become permanently insensitive to both heat and cold.'' 
'''Third and fourth degrees''' 
''If the area freezes further, deep frostbite occurs. The muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and nerves all freeze. The skin is hard, feels waxy, and use of the area is lost temporarily, and in severe cases, permanently. The deep frostbite results in areas of purplish blisters which turn black and which are generally blood-filled. Nerve damage in the area can result in a loss of feeling. This extreme frostbite may result in fingers and toes being amputated if the area becomes infected with gangrene. If the frostbite has gone on untreated, they may fall off. The extent of the damage done to the area by the freezing process of the frostbite may take several months to assess, and this often delays surgery to remove the dead tissue.''

====Sites Background====
As carry over from the ATLAS and HARC projects WERC maintains a network of telemetered data stations on the Seward Peninsula. Archived data is currently found on the [http://www.uaf.edu/water/project/atlas/atlas.html UAF WERC site]

Principal Data site, Council Area:
[[C1 Grid]] (near [http://www.udel.edu/Geography/calm/data/data-links.html CALM site U27]), active
[[C2 Blueberry]], active
C3 Guy Rowe, inactive

Principal Data site, Kougarok Area:
[[K1 Burn]] site, active
[[K2 Met]], active
[[K3 Mauze]] Gulch (near [http://www.udel.edu/Geography/calm/data/data-links.html CALM site U28]), active

We use radio telemetry to communicate with our stations out on the peninsula. So, there are several radio repeaters in that list, too. They are:
[[Anvil]] Mountain (near Nome)
[[Skookum]] Pass (near Council)
[[Kigluaiks]] (in Kigluaik Mountains across the valley to the south of Kougarok)

In addition there are several other sites:
[[Snake]] River (outside Nome on Nome-Teller Highway)
[[Kuzitrin]] River (60+ miles up the Kougarok Road from Nome)
[[Niagara]] Creek (~1 mile from K2 Met)

See most of them on a map here:
[http://data.ine.uaf.edu/seward/ Site Map]

Radios turned off for C1-grid, C2-blueberry, Skookum Pass, Anvil Mountain on 11/4/2009

====Project Background====
Originally there were three Council sites, C1, C2, and C3. Each was selected to be in a different type of landscape but C3 kept getting attacked by bears so we eventually removed it. C1 is called C1-Grid because it is located in the valley bottom near Council along the perimeter of a CALM 1 km x 1 km active layer grid. So, the meteorological station was set up to complement the field data collected on the CALM grid. In terms of importance to the original project it was a secondary station so the data elements collected there are basically: Air Temperature / Relative Humidity (1m & 3m), Wind Speed (1m & 3m) & Wind Direction (3m), Net Radiation (in summer), precipitation (in summer), snow depth, soil moisture (vertically profiled), and soil temperature (vertically profiled). The station is also a shorter 3 meter tower.

===Council Sites===
The blueberry site is located on Blueberry Hill to the SW of Council. It is the primary site for the Council area so has more sensors and the tower is a 10 meter high setup. In addition to the sensors mentioned for C1 there is also up facing shortwave & longwave radiation, and down facing shortwave & longwave radiation sensors. Wind speed & AT/RH (as a single sensor) are also measured at more heights than at C1 (1m, 3m & 10m). In 2007 I made some changes to the station. In the past longwave radiation was measured using a battery. However, it was a lead-mercury battery, which is considered hazardous and has been discontinued so I re-did the wiring. This will be reflected in the data as a couple extra data columns that appear last year. Blueberry is across the Niukluk river (I think that's the river, not 100%) and is sometimes unreachable in fall. So, we weren't able to get across the river to remove the net radiometer in Fall 2007. Data for it shouldn't be trusted much past October 1st though because once the snow falls or frost accumulates on the domes that protect the radiation sensor.

On a similar note, the precipitation gages are out year-round but we only record summer rainfall. So, you should mark with '7777' the winter time of year. For measured precipitation I don't generally count it until the air temperature is consistently above freezing. It's kind of subjective on the shoulder seasons figuring out what is snow vs what is rainfall and if you don't feel comfortable with that, I'm happy to look over the data and define select which points to include and which to exclude. It may sound like we're doing something funky but we aren't. The tipping bucket rain gage is only designed to measure liquid precipitation. So, when snow accumulates in the bucket no measurements are recorded until the bucket temperature gets above freezing to melt the snow in the bucket. Since those gages are just used in the summer then we exclude all solid precip that may melt in and be counted at the data logger.

===Kougarok Sites===
K1-burn is another secondary site. It is located on an area burned by an old tundra fire up on a low sloping bench above the Kougarok river. The vegetation in this area is dry tussock and grasses. Much of the organic soil layer burnt off in the fire so recovery has been slow. This site gets visited fairly frequently by animals so you'll see most of the soil moisture sensors have had their cables eaten, as has also happened to the soil temperature sensors. This site is quite similar to C1 that I talked about earlier in terms of sensor setup. In the fall of 2007 we added a snow depth sensor to the site so that will be a new thing. I'm not sure about its reporting though.

K2-met is the 10 meter tower for the Kougarok area. It is located on very wet tundra 300 meters or so up slope from the Kougarok river, so down in the valley. It is a full site similar to C2 although it also has a snow sensor installed. A broken, older sensor was replaced with a newer one in fall 2007.

K3 mauze is located at the perimeter of the Kougarok area CALM grid. It is another 3 meter tower. This site has been hammered by the bears in recent years so some sensors are in and out in terms of their quality.

===Discussion of the Station Data===
So, that's a short bit of background on the stations. The data on the CD I gave you is predominantly archived data or data that has been through some level of processing. You can find the up to the day data here: 
http://www.uaf.edu/water/projects/near-real-time/rawdatafiles/ 
http://www.uaf.edu/water/projects/near-real-time/rawdatafiles/atlas-blueberry 
http://www.uaf.edu/water/projects/near-real-time/rawdatafiles/atlas-c1-grid 
http://www.uaf.edu/water/projects/near-real-time/rawdatafiles/atlas-k-burn 
http://www.uaf.edu/water/projects/near-real-time/rawdatafiles/atlas-k-met 
http://www.uaf.edu/water/projects/near-real-time/rawdatafiles/atlas-kmauze 

Those are all quite large at this point text files. Let me know if you find any gaps in the data. Sometimes there is trouble with the back end connection between the UAF webserver and the computer that retrieves this data over the radio network from Nome.

So, when you look at the data there it will probably look like a bunch of not real helpful numbers. Plus you'll see an Array ID at the start of the line which seems to alternate each hour. That is because the meteorological data arrays are mixed together withe subsurface data arrays. It's kind of a by product of the data logger we use. The design for them was done in the early 90s or late 80s so the electronic data storage architecture is robust but perhaps a bit primitive compared to the computers of today. So, to split out all the data I should have included on that cd a directory called 'batch' or 'bin'. If you look in there you should see some .bat files which are dos batch files. I don't know if you're using linux or windows, if you're using linux then pop open .bat file and you'll see 'grep .........' you should be able to change the directory paths there (I can help if you have questions about this) but these little batch files basically read through the data above (e.g. atlas-blueberry) and pull out all the met data arrays and then all the soil data array lines and dump them into different files. So, when you mention seeing different data files in the CD I gave you, the data is in various steps of processing. Oh, also, if you are using a windows computer (as I am for the data processing) then you should have cygwin installed. It's a program that gives you many of the free utilities that come with linux/unix/debian (most helpfully for us today, grep). You can download it here if you need:
http://www.cygwin.com

So, if you're using windows, just modify the batch files. I like to use this program:
[http://www.context.cx Context]
for viewing text files. I find it much more useful than notepad, but if you have a favorite text editing program, feel free to use it. Anyway, if you're using windows you'll need to modify the batch file to grep out the 2007 data I think. The general format for the grep command is:
grep [text string to search for] [input data file] > or >> [output data file]
c:\cygwin\bin\grep 228,3018,2007 "c:\data\atlas\c1-grid\atlas-c1-grid.txt" > "c:\data\atlas\c1-grid\c1-grid_228-2007-soil.csv"
You'll see both '>' and '>>' in the batch files. '>' means put all the data line matches into the output file and create a new file each time. '>>' means put all the data line matches into the output file and append them to the end of the file if it already exists.

So, you'll need to change the paths (e.g. 'c:\data\'), to whatever you're using. I like
c:\data\project\station_name from windows or /home/bob/data/project/station_name from linux but totally your call on how you organize. From linux the line above would like more like this:
grep 228,3018,2007 "/home/bob/data/atlas/c1-grid/atlas-c1-grid.txt" > "/home/bob/data/atlas/c1-grid/c1-grid_228-2007-soil.csv"

So, when you see stuff like this:
CD/atlas/C1-grid/c1-grid_123-2006-met.csv
CD/atlas/C1-grid/c1-grid_123-2007-met.csv
CD/atlas/C1-grid/c1-grid_228-2004-soil.csv
etc. etc.
That is output from the grep program. the 123/228 references the array ID. So, that file contains met data from 2007 from this file:
[http://www.uaf.edu/water/projects/near-real-time/rawdatafiles/atlas-c1-grid C1 Data File]
Here's a sample line:
123,3018,2005,1,100,-0.47,-0.176,97.7,96.1,3.639,162.7,4.414,92.7,0,-2.046,12.35

I see for some flies the '123' has been replaced by the regular date & time. But that's probably the only change in the file. I would have done that if I was just checking things out.

So, moving forwards a bit, my rough method for processing the data is this:
# download data off website
# use GREP to separate out by data line type and year using the batch file for dos.. or if you use linux then you can actually edit the .bat files to be the correct path (like I mentioned above) and then from the command line type this: chmod u+x c1-grid.bat this will allow you to just type './c1-grid.bat' just as I have been doing but you'll do it from linux rather than windows.
# open in excel or use a program I wrote to process the data (more on this below)
# view the data with a data visualization program I used Origin but Excel is semi okay (origin is nice because you can quickly change the time scales) or if you have another program you really like like matlab that's fine, too.
# delete bad data that is apparent through using the visualization program (replace with '6999')
# have someone else do a final check (like me probably)
# post data to the internet

'process the data' is pretty nebulous. I have a program I wrote which converts thermistor resistances (soil temperature data) from resistance to temperature and then formats the data as it should look on the web. That's the main reason you see so many similarly named files. Some are from step 1, some are from step 2 etc. So, that is probably a bit confusing. But for you, probably using a spreadsheet program like excel or whatever you're most comfortable with is better. You can find header information for what is in each column of the data file. The other main bit of 'processing' that happens is to correct the net radiation data for wind. I can dig that equation up for you if you can't find it in those spreadsheets.
So, also along the process the data lines, some things you'll want to look out for:
# missing lines of data... make a note and check with me if you find any
# repeated lines of data... more likely to find due to the rsyncing process (the way the uaf website talks to the server downloading data from the radio network).
There are a couple ways of converting julian dates into regular. You could use these programs I've written for visual basic:
http://werc.engr.uaf.edu/mediawiki/index.php/Excel_Macros
or, another way is this:
a) type into a cell '12/31/06'
b) change the format of the cell to number.
c) if your data is in the format column 1 is the date you'd like, column 2 is the year, column 3 is the day, column 4 is the hour then in column 1 you can print (using data for 2007) '= 39082 + b1 + c1/2400' then format this column as a date & time and you'll be in business. Do some simple boolean stuff to check for gaps of data or, just create another column that has as the first cell '1/1/07 1:00' then the second row in the column '=a1 + 1/24' then look to see if the calculated date (mentioned first) ever varies from the second method. If it doesn't you're golden. If they do vary then you can track down where the problem is. In general, if there is multiple lines of the same data (or so it looks like) I will delete the first instance and keep the last. The reason for this is related to the radio telemetry. Some of the connections are quite weak so we don't always get the data on an hourly basis. Sometimes we'll get half the line so we'll need to get things resent later (with regard to the radio network and data retrieval from the data loggers).

I guess another note on the array IDs. The met data and the radiation data are contained in the same array ID line. The soil temperature and soil moisture data (most of which has broken sensors) is in a separate array ID. That is the 123, 127 etc. that you wonder about below.

Well, I've written a book, maybe I will post this to our wiki and we can go back and forth on there, too. Totally let me know if you have any questions. I'll be in town through Friday (just learned) so I should be able to help more in the short term than the medium term. thanks

===== Part 2 =====
Here's a bit about the radiation. I will get you more calibration values once we're back from the June trip the week of 6/16.

So, in the data files you've looked at off the internet is the output voltage in millivolts as recorded by the data logger. To get from milliVolt output from the data logger to Net Radiation in Watts / m^2 you'll need to do a couple things:
1) correct for wind speed.
2) apply the sensor specific calibration factor (positive or negative depending on sensor output)

Via this manual (pdf page 5 document page 3):
Net Radiometers -- REBS Q-7.1 (Radiation Energy Balance Systems)
http://www.campbellsci.com/documents/manuals/q-7-1.pdf

Are these wind speed correction equations (where wind speed in in meters per second as we have at our stations):

Positive Wind Speed Correction Factor:
Wind_CF_Pos = 1 + (0.066 * 0.2 * 1m_Wind_Speed) / (0.066 + (0.2 * 1m_Wind_Speed) )

Negative Wind Speed Correction Factor:
Wind_CF_Neg = (0.00174 * 1m_Wind_Speed) + 0.99755

So, if Net Radiation (in mVolts as recorded by the data logger) is positive use this equation:
Corrected_Net_Rad = Wind_CF_Pos * Uncor_Net_Rad * Pos_Calib

If Net Radiation (in mVolts as recorded by the data logger) is negative use this equation:
Corrected_Net_Rad = Wind_CF_Neg * Uncor_Net_Rad * Neg_Calib

Here's the equation for C2 as it looks for me in Excel:
=IF(ABS([NetRadiometer Cell])<> 6999,IF(L4087>0,9.15*[Net Radiometer Cell]*(1+(0.066*0.2*[1 meter Wind Speed])/(0.066+0.2*[1 meter Wind Speed])),11.13*L4087*(0.00174*[1 meter Wind Speed]+0.99755)),7777)

So, given all that you need one more thing, the calibration values for positive and negative calibrations. Here's a first batch and I'll get you some more after we come back from out trip in a couple weeks.
C1 Grid:
Positive Calibration: 9.18
Negative Calibration: 11.31

C2 Blueberry:
Positive Calibration: 9.15
Negative Calibration: 11.13

K1 Burn:
[Need to track down yet, after 2008 June visit]
K2 Met:
[Need to track down yet, after 2008 June visit]
K3 Mauze Gulch: Q99012
Positive Calibration: 8.97
Negative Calibration: 10.90

Soil Temperature (12 thermistor A) 2.5cm, 5cm, 10cm, 15cm, 20cm, 25cm, 35cm, 50cm, 75cm, 100cm, 125cm, 150cm
Soil Temperature (12 thermistor B) 10cm, 25cm, 50cm, 75cm, 100cm, 125cm, 150cm, 200cm, 250cm, 300cm, 350cm, 400cm

Came across a WMO document. They suggest minimum standard soil temperature profile depths:
5cm, 10cm, 20cm, 50cm, and 100cm below ground surface and the surface should be similar for an area of 75cm^2 above the profile. WMO uses a bare ground standard which isn't really applicable but the rest of the information seems useful.

TopoFlow

2009-07-09T02:45:51Z

137.229.92.253:

Similar to the RiverTools page this should have misc. tips for getting TopoFlow running.

To run Topoflow you'll need from RiverTools:
* *.rti file from your DEM
* *flow.rtg flow grid
* *order.rtg Horton Strahler order grid
* *area.rtg upstream areas grid
* *slope.rtg downstream slopes grid

Then, with TopoFlow you'll need to create from the Preprocessing menu:
* Channel Geometry Grids. Select Parameterize with H-S order grid and then set the Manning's N for the channels, the bed widths and the bank angle.

Also from RiverTools, use the Value Zoom to find the basin outlet row & column.

RiverTools

2009-07-09T01:26:32Z

137.229.92.253: /* RiverTools Procedure */

===Misc. Notes and tips:===
====Data Sources====
Common format:
* ArcGIS format Ascii
* XYZ format Ascii
* ArcGIS binary Raster files

Those are some common formats. With the ArcGIS format Ascii it is worth your time to change the format like this using the Arc Toolbox:
# Use the Ascii to raster Import tool to make a floating point grid of your data.
# Then use the binary file created by ArcGIS for the Rivertools outputs.

====RiverTools Procedure for creating TopoFlow-ready files====
# Start RiverTools
# Import your DEM like this: File -> Import DEM -> Arc Binary Raster
# After Importing set the DEM info, which usually gets buggered on the import: File -> View DEM Info
# View the density plot of the DEM to make sure it looks right: Display -> Density Plot
# If it looks right fine the proceed with the number crunching.
# Extract a flow grid: Extract -> 1. Flow Grid (D8)
# Extract a basin outlet: Extract -> 2. Basin Outlet
# Extract a RiverTools Tree File: Extract -> 3. RT Tree File
# Extract a RiverTools RiverNetwork File: Extract -> 4. River Network
# Extract a RiverTools upstream area grid: Extract -> D8 - Based Grid -> Upstream Areas
# Extract a RiverTools downstream slopes grid: Extract -> D8 - Based Grid -> Downstream Slopes
# Extract the Horton-Strahler Order of the streams: Extract -> D8 - Based Grid -> Horton-Strahler Order
# View the River network: Display -> RiverNetwork -> Name is the one with suffix _tree.rtv. Try hiding channels less than order 2.
# Identify any errors.
# Another handy viewing technique is to make a multi-layer plot. To do that: Display -> Multi-Layer Plot ... then click the Start button on the window that appears. After doing this step you can display the density plot and river network using the steps just outlined but they will show on the same window.

=====To edit a DEM in RiverTools:=====
# From the main wintow: File -> Display -> Density Plot -> Display the DEM of interest
# From the Density plot window just created: Tools -> Value Zoom
# From the Value Zoom that just appeared: Options -> Allow Edit -> Yes
# Then click on the map and start editing. However, before clicking on the arrows to move the value zoom window select from the Value Zoom window: Options -> Save Values

If you have DEM problems and need to make these mods I recommend deleting all the previously extracted stuff. I had trouble making edits on the right DEM file since there were so many copies and such floating around in the directory I never seemed to edit the correct DEM file.

==== Problem Sensors (as of June 2008) ====
* Met Sensors look good.
* All Soil sensors are broken (animal chew primarily)
* Snow is odd but perhaps okay. [[Image:K1-snow.gif|400px]]
June 14 trip follow up: The snow arm came undone (I'm guessing time-wise early in the winter). So, the data is probably bad until we can figure something else out for this site.

===2009 To do===
Bring out new wiring for the multiplexer and also precision resistors to put into the broken soil temperature slots. This is follow up to the bogus resistance being measured in the new thermistor string installed August 2008. My away from the site guess is that there's a foul up in the multiplexer wiring rather than a problem with the data logger but would be good to bring a new logger and wiring panel out just in case.

==== Problem Sensors (as of June 2008) ====
* Met look good except precip.

Replace Batteries:
[[Image:K3-battery.gif|400px]] 
Check Precip Bucket Wiring:
[[Image:K3-precip.gif|400px]] 
Post Script (June 2008) the Pulse port for the precip bucket had gone bad. So, bucket was re-wired into a control port (after replacing the cable that we then learned was still intact).

New snow sensor looks great:
