Revision as of 12:22, 19 June 2008

The purpose of this page is to serve as a repository of schedules and information for the participation of the Jimenez group in the ARCTAS campaign.

Personnel schedule on group calendar http://www.google.com/calendar/render.

Information on Phase I (past) is below for reference. Jose moved the logistical info below the to-do list on 14-June-08.

To-do List for ARCTAS-2

Instrument - Critical during CARB at Palmdale

  • Thu 19-Jun-2008
    • Install BWP and check beam position and width (towards end of day)
    • Calibration with old and new settings
    • Prepare PCI software for PID controller
    • Continue to Squirrel data and look for any problems
    • Mike: email Bill Brooks about power supply connector
      • Try to submit data by tomorrow
    • Evening: regenerate silica-gel?
  • Mike's task list
    • Customs list
    • Backup all plane software (incl LabVIEW,TD) on FTP site (including menus and .set files)
    • Replot timetrace of all flights on "standard format", give copy to Jose for reference)
    • Install all plane software on Mike's old laptop, so that his personal laptop can serve as backup for plane laptop in case of catastrophic failure, and test that it works
    • Start, mid-flight, and shutdown checklists
    • Keep measuring IE/AB over a full day (transient effects)
  • Stuff we are waiting on
    • (Waiting for parts): Install new Omega PID controller for PCI
    • (Waiting for ML): Order and ship spare batteries for thermocouple in plane
    • (Waiting for parts): Connect exhaust of MD1 when connectors arrive from ML
    • (Waiting for Thomas about TPS error message: uups... / data crc / rx error: 5)

Immediate logistics/parts

  • Discuss size cut of inlets with Jack Dibb and Rodney
  • Make basic loss calculations (inc res time) on inlet

Second Priority

  • Next not as urgent: Connect multiplier HV supply to hard mirror, so that we can run W-mode in forest fire plumes
  • Think whether to run at higher MCP and lower emission current for forest fires (less chance of missing threshold, reduce change of saturation in fires)
  • Investigate how we can refill the lecture bottle (ask Eric Apel)
  • Connect UPS software for battery indication
  • Fix 12 V power supply in TPS for preamp
  • Get an install 2 bike cupholders

Data Analysis to-do (in approx order of priority)

  • Process fast data and resubmit with those
  • Re-generate slides from mid-campaign prez with new data
  • Generate PToF data:
    • Compare to Grimm, LARGE OPC+SMPS, SP2 OPC (>250nm) to evaluate size transmission
    • Evaluate whether the different slopes with light scattering are due to size distribution changes (F8)
  • Evaluate the O/C data from Allison
  • Why are filter levels for Org (maybe also NO3, m/z 16) variable (TO/landing)?
    • is it mz29 or 44? Quantify in TT and squirrel
  • Implement the time-dependent CO2 and H2O corrections for the flights (or decide that they are not needed)
    • We can probably measure frag_org[18] directly in this way
  • Use plumes to align our data to others

Post ARCTAS-2

  • Repeat PCI transmission experiment

For Donna (in approx order of priority)

  • Improve Squirreling of the Fast Mode data (F4 and/or F5)

For future campaigns

  • Timetrace of a few HR peaks as in flux mode?
  • Test and enable cell-phone filtering
  • Put together leak detector with V70, controller, AC MD1, and SRS or Balzers RGA
  • Stuff for Joel
    • Fix timetrace for Fast mode (SO4 goes down, others go up) -- already told him
    • Gaps of 5s in fast timetrace?
