The Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is working with the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) to evaluate the performance of millimeter wave (MMW) sensors to defeat buried objects. During previous research a large test bed was constructed and instrumented to collect detailed information regarding environmental conditions before, during, and after testing. Automated environmental monitoring instrumentation stations were constructed using instrumentation from Campbell Scientific to collect the needed data, which have been used as validation information for the construction of the computational test bed. Additional such stations have been developed and deployed in additional CONUS and OCONUS locations. 2. Current research requires the development of additional stations which can be deployed to collect similar data to allow environmental data to be collected to support the modeling of additional sites representing a broader array of environmental conditions. 3. For the purposes of consistency with instrumentation packages established at JIEDDO and GEOTACS locations, both CONUS and OCONUS, it is required that the instrumentation setup for the present research incorporate the same Campbell Scientific, Inc., components for consistency of data output and comparison to historical data and to provide for interchange of replacement parts between stations. These instruments include a weather station with its associated wind, temperature, humidity, and energy measurement devices, subsurface soil moisture, temperature, and heat flux instruments, and surface radiometers. Instrument details are below. Item 1: HMP50-L15 18008-59 Vaisala Temperature/RH QTY: 8 Description: The HMP50 measures both temperature and relative humidity and is suitable for long-term, unattended monitoring.

Designed for use in environmental applications, the CS106 is typically housed in the datalogger enclosure. It is compatible with all Campbell Scientific dataloggers. The CS106 measures barometric pressure for the range of 500 to 1100 mb. This range equates to from below sea level (as as in a mine) up to 12,000 feet above sea level. Designed for use in environmental applications, the CS106 is typically housed in the datalogger enclosure. It is compatible with all Campbell Scientific dataloggers. The CS106 includes a switching circuit that allows the datalogger to power the barometer only during measurement, which reduces power consumption. The CS106 Vaisala PTB110 Barometer replaces the CS105 Vaisala PTB101B Barometer. Item 4: WINDSONIC1-L15 19227-1 Gill 2-D Sonic Wind QTY: 8 The WindSonic1 is a two-dimensional ultrasonic anemometer for measuring wind direction and speed.

Infrared temperature sensors provide a non-contact means of measuring the surface temperature of an object or surface by sensing the infrared radiation given off by the subject. The SI-111 is comprised of a thermopile, which measures surface temperature, and a thermistor, which measures sensor body temperature. The two temperature probes are housed in a rugged aluminum body that contains a germanium window. Both the thermopile and the thermistor output a millivolt signal that most of our dataloggers can measure. The datalogger uses the Stefan-Boltzman equation to correct for the effect of sensor body temperature on the target temperature. The corrected readings yield an absolute accuracy of 0.2C from -10 to 65C. Item 13: CM230 Adjustable Angle Mounting QTY:8 The CM230 Adjustable Inclination Mount is primarily used with directional (Yagi) antennas, but can also be used for sensors that need to be pointed at a specific target (e.g., the SI-111, SR50A). The inclination can be adjusted to any angle from horizontal to verticalsupporting the use of upward-directed antennas or downward-directed infrared thermometers or snow depth sensors. Item 14: AM25T-SW-NC 25-Channel Solid State Multiplexer QTY:4 The AM25T 25-Channel Solid State Multiplexer increases the number of thermocouples that can be measured by a Campbell Scientific datalogger. Up to 25 thermocouples are sequentially connected to a common differential channel on the AM25T. The output from this channel is wired to a differential input channel on the datalogger. As the AM25T sequentially changes channels, the datalogger measures the output from each thermocouple in sequence. One datalogger can control multiple AM25T multiplexers. A PRT attached to the AM25Ts grounding bar provides a temperature reference for the thermocouple measurements. The heat capacity of the grounding bar and an insulated aluminum cover reduce thermal gradients along the length of the multiplexer. Reducing the thermal gradients allow more accurate measurements. Power: 9.6 to 16 Vdc (under load), unregulated Current Drain (typical) Quiescent: 0.5 mA Active: 1.0 mA Enable Levels Inactive: less than 0.9 V Active: 3.5 to 5 V Clock Levels: Scan advance occurs on the falling edge of the clock pulse (from above 3.5 V to below 1.5 V).
