This version 1.01 does include
new Tiger Tasmanian Radar's code!!!!!!!!!!!!
correct Sanae Radar's code!!!!!!!!!!!!
new Kerguelen Radar's code!!!!!!!!!!!!
and also
new Kodiak Radar's code!!!!!!!!!!!!
This version 1.01 adds an option
to the previous version 1.00.
This provides a way to reduce
the amount of smr files
.
The rest part has no change
except a fix in usage message

*** CAUTION **************************************************************
You need at least QNX 4.24 or 4.25 for QNX OS to be Y2K compliant
(The latest version is QNX 4.25C as of Jan.12, 2000), and
you need Radops2000 version 4.10A to create SuperDARN Y2K data file names!!!
****************************************************************************

1. Installation

Get BasyouhuP200003 ver.1.01 installation package from
	http://www.uap.nipr.ac.jp/SD/BasyouhuP200003/  (here!)
The installation package file you should get is
	BasyouhuP200003.tar.gz
	    (check if the size is 38858 bytes & cksum = 2406302752 on QNX)
	    (You can get this by clicking it durin pressing 'shift' key, hopefully...)
	    (If you cannot get/save it, please try the following...
		Install packages to choose one.)

Put it on your Radops QNX PC.
	(Be sure the file name shuold be
		"BasyouhuP200003.tar.gz" or "BasyouhuP200003.tar.F".
	 If it's not so (e.g. BasyouhuP200003_tar.gz, BasyouhuP200003.tgz),
	 rename it after transfering it to QNX...)
	(If you use older QNX (earlier than v4.24)
	 whose "install" program does not support gzipped packages,
	 first you should uncompress it by gunzip,
	 and then freeze it by doing "freeze -v BasyouhuP200003.tar"
	 to create "BasyouhuP200003.tar.F" before going ahead...)
	(Or you can get "BasyouhuP200003.tar" or "BasyouhuP200003.tar.F"
	 directly from this web. Press "Install packages" above.)
	(If you don't have gzip/gunzip on QNX, you can get it from Quics!
	 Press here to get "gzip.tar.F"!)

Do the following on your Radops QNX PC.
	install -u BasyouhuP200003.tar.gz
	(If you get or create "BasyouhuP200003.tar.F", do instead like...
		install -u BasyouhuP200003.tar.F           )
and follow the setup instruction to complete the installation process...
(Julian, now you can install it in any directory you like...:-)
This should work for Radops2000 version 4.01, 4,10 and 4.10A
on QNX 4.22A, QNX 4.24, QNX 4.25/4.25A/4.25B/4.25C, I hope.


 *** CAUTION *****************************************************************
 You need at least QNX 4.24 or 4.25 for QNX OS to be Y2K compliant, and
 you need Radops2000 version 4.10A to create SuperDARN Y2K data file names!!!!
 *****************************************************************************


If you encounter any problem, please let me know it as soon as possible.

	PS. You can also see source codes here on this web.
		BasyouhuP200003.c
		BasyouhuP200003.h

2. Schedule file


Add the following entries to your schedule file for Mar., 2000 manually!
(We strongly recommend you use this file to create your schedule file!!!
 to avoid any unexpected mistyping!!!)

(The same documentation as this is included in the installation package.
 Its file name is "00Readme" found in the source directory where you install.
 You can use it to create your schedule file
 (and you can also aviod any unexpected mistyping!!!).

  where... xxx :    day-time start_freq/band (in kHz)
           yyy :  night-time start_freq/band (in kHz)
  Please specify these 2 best frequencies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  to get as much ionospheric echo as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  (Please avoid your restrict freq bands, of cource...)

  (Default intt is 3 seconds.
   If intt=4sec is much much better than intt=3sec to get much more echoes,
   please don't hesitate to change it by '-it' option...)

   *** a new feature in ver.1.01

	If you want to reduce the amount of smr files, you can specify
	'-smrsep smrsepsec' option.
	'smrsepsec' is miminum separation in seconds bewteen the last
	recording time and the next recording time for each smr beam.
	(The default value is just 0(L)(second).)
	E.g.
		BasyouhuP200003 -df xxx -nf yyy -smrsep 60
	if you want to record smr files only once per minute for each beam
	to reduce the amount of smr files.

If you need more info, you can see the online usage of this RCP by doing
	use BasyouhuP200003 (|more)
or read the source code or ask me...



3. Test running, please...


	After reading the explanation of the sounding mode below,
	please run this RCP before the Mar. ST(Mar 5) if possible
	although only a few DT days left before them.
	Please test this RCP with the 2 options, -df and -nf
	at your radar site.
	(It's good enough for this RCP to run just for 10 to 15 min or so.)
	And please report any problem to me ASAP if any.
	Please make sure again that you specify '-df' and '-nf'
	options for your test run as describled above.
	You can see display task's display or 'errlog' file to check
		if intt is correct or not, and
		if beam sequence and freqency setting are correct or not.
	This RCP will output time/bmnum/start_freq/scan for each beam 
	in errlog file ONLY IF you specify higher verbose level
	by '-v N' (N=2,3,4...) command line option to this RCP(default:N=1).

	And for this particular version,
	each radar will run in a different mode from one in other days!
	Furthermore, each radar will sometimes run in a different mode
	from one in different hour on the same day!!

	Each mode(mode and submode(smode)) will be selected
	automatically by this RCP by reading current time...
	So if you test it before the first ST day(Mar.5),
	I'll run normally for a mode for the first ST day(Mar.5).
	You can even override it by specifing
		'-force_mode N' (N=1,2,3,4) to override mode(day) and
		'-force_submode M' (M=1(,2(if any))) to override submode(smode)
	But these special options are only for testing!

	Many thanks for your great efforts to check and run this RCP!!


4. Sounding mode


	This BasyouhuP200003 is a modified version of Basyouhu scan
	which ran for our Special Time in Feb.,1998 and Jan. to Aug., 1999,
	Jan., 2000 and Feb.,2000.
	(If any of you cannot perform intt=3 on your radar, let me know soon.)
	For most radars for most days, various Basyouhu scans will be made
	to get 1 or 2 high time resolution special camping beam(s) data with
	optimized high time resolution global convection data simultaneously.
	intt=3sec,frang=180km,mpinc=2400,rsep=45km as usual,
	but no GPS synchronization.
	(If intt=4sec is much much better than intt=3sec to get much echoes,
	 please don't hesitate to change it by -it option...)

	CP=5248

	And for this particular version,
	each radar will run in a different mode from one in other days!
	Furthermore, each radar will sometimes run in a different mode
	from one in different hour on the same day!!

	Each mode(mode and submode(smode)) will be selected
	automatically by this RCP by reading current time...
	So if you test it before the first ST day(Mar.5),
	I'll run normally for a mode for the first ST day(Mar.5).
	You can even override it by specifing
		'-force_mode N' (N=1,2,3,4) to override mode(day) and
		'-force_submode <' (M=1(,2(if any))) to override submode(smode)
	But these special options are only for testing!

	Detailed beam sequences for all the radars will be shown below...




5. Beam sequence

	Each beam sequence for each radar is almost completely different
	from ones for the other modes/radars.

	And for this particular version,
	each radar will run in a different mode from one in other days!
	Furthermore, each radar will sometimes run in a different mode
	from one in different hour on the same day!!

	Each mode(mode and submode(smode)) will be selected
	automatically by this RCP by reading current time...
	So if you test it before the first ST day(Mar.5),
	I'll run normally for a mode for the first ST day(Mar.5).
	You can even override it by specifing
		'-force_mode N' (N=1,2,3,4) to override mode(day) and
		'-force_submode M' (M=1(,2(if any))) to override submode(smode)
	But these special options are only for testing!

	I try to summarize all the sequences here...

  * N : will (be able to) be treated as normal beams
  * S : will (be able to) be treated as special beams



6. Notes


'vlptm' is now not good for any beam sequences which include camping beams.
This is because vlptm regards any beams with scan!=0 as start_beam
which means any special camping beam whose scan value is negative
will be regarded as a start_beam and which is meaningless.
If you change vlptm code a bit you might get much more proper vec files
for some of special programs including Basyouhu...
A line 277 in vlptm.c both in Radops2000 version 4.01 and version 4.10,
	if (scan && (bmbak != -1)) { ....
shuold be modified to
	if ((scan==1) && (bmbak != -1)) { ....
(or	if ((scan>0) && (bmbak != -1)) { ....   (this is my favorite...)).
I strongly recommend you to adopt this fix
to get proper vec files even when we do any other mode than normal_scan.
(before grid files officially become used for the ISTP KP data
 or before next Radops is available.)
How do Mike and Rob think about this?



7. Our request form sent to scheduling WG


==============================================================================
Dear Catherine SENIOR and Scheduling WG,

I wish you a very happy New Year and hope that it is both 
a successful and healthy one for you.

I am attaching time allocation request of March 2000.

Best regards,
Natsuo Sato

==============================================================================
SUPERDARN TIME ALLOCATION REQUEST
MONTH: March 2000

PERIOD (DATES, TIMES): 
(1) Four days of 5, 16, 21 and 26 March 2000
(2) Priority: Our priority is in the following order; 
16, 21, 26 and 5 March, where the priority is defined by the orbit of Geotail.

CLASS (Special time, Discretionary time): SPECIAL TIME 

INSTITUTE: NIPR

PI: Natsuo SATO

SCIENTIST: N. Sato, H. Yamagishi, A.Sessai Yukimatu, H. Matsuoka, Y. Tonegawa

COLLABORATORS (Outside of SD): T. Mukai (ISAS: GEOTAIL)

PROGRAMME TITLE:
Joint SuperDARN/GEOTAIL observations: -Study on the generation and
propagation mechanisms of Pc 3-5 waves -

SCIENTIFIC CASE:
It is believed that ULF waves generated in the upstream and the boundary region
are penetrating into the magnetosphere, but it has not yet been revealed fully
how the wave energy propagates through the magnetosheath and magnetopause.
Although at least some of the wave energy is believed to be transmitted along
the cusp field lines, the mechanism of the transmission has not yet been 
explained.  Therefore, we address this subject by using high-time resolution 
data obtained both in the space and on the ground.

EXPERIMENT OBJECTIVES:

High-time resolution (one or two-beam) operation of SuperDARN radars can detect
the temporal and spatial variation of Pc3-4 pulsations near the magnetopause 
and the dayside cusp regions.
The physical parameters measured by the radars and the GEOTAIL satellite are 
complementary to one another to solve the mechanism of wave energy generation 
and transmission.

REASONS FOR TIME PERIOD REQUESTED (Supporting campaigns, instrumentation, 
geophysical conditions):

One of the best GEOTAIL orbits skimming the magnetopause, and its footprint 
passing over the field of view of the radars.

COULD EXPERIMENT BE RUN AT ANOTHER TIME (YES/NO): No
* The orbits of GEOTAIL make skimming near the magnetopause only the days we 
requested

RADLANG PROGRAMMES TO BE RUN AND BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SOUNDING MODE:
All SuperDARN radars run one or two camping beams (high time resolution) 
with full scan.

END OF FORM
