Itkillik Crossing --- Lat: , Lon:

===ADCP Specific===
* 1/4 mile from station = station 2
* Bridge = station 3
* Mag var = 20* 47' E
* Firmware should be 31.12 .... It is
* Boat GPS computer connects to the serial port (not usb)

===Tasks===
* Fly to station
** Snow Survey
** Measure Stage
* Standard Photos @ Bridge site
* Fly to Bridge Crossing
** Plan B classic ADCP & Achilles Prep
** Pop into the dry suits
** Make a discharge measurement & collect a sediment sample
** Measure slope @ the bridge
* Fly to station with survey gear
** Measure Stage
** Finish Station survey
*** Spray Paint GPS Master 1-2 on hill so it's identified.
* Fly back to the bridge w/survey gear
** depending on the time of day, finish surveying at the bridge site or
** Pop into the dry suits
** Make a discharge measurement & collect a sediment sample
** measure slope @ the bridge
* Fly to station
** measure stage

====Toolik Prep====
* bring out bubble level for surveying again
* solar panel for isco (not today)
* duck pond for gas can (jerry jug is already in a duck pond)

====Itkillik Station====
* water level survey (morning & night)
* Snow Survey
* GPS Survey GPS Master #1 Rebar #1 (& identify it with spray paint maybe?)
* finish surveying

====Itkillik River Crossing====
* Standard aerial pictures @ Bridge crossing
** Digital Camera
* Plant Cam
** download images
* ADCP Measurement
** Sediment sample mid-river during measurement
''For the mid river sampling, you should use a plastic bottle and get a grab sample during the discharge measurement (i.e., just one sample per day). Just put the bottle as deep as you can (with your hands) and collect the water. Please write the time.'' 
* survey slope water level
* Setup isco (''After ice goes out''):
** Track down those extra terminals!
''I believe you guys will focus your activities near the crossing. I suggest to put the ISCO there too. You should try to fix the end of the tube (where the water enters the tube) to a rebar. The rebar could be near the bank (as long as it is located in moving waters). We don't want to capture any bed sediment. Any distance above 30 cm from the bottom (river bed) and 20 cm below the top (water surface) would work. Set the sampler to take 4 samples per day. You should collect samples at 3 AM, 9AM, 3 PM and 9 PM (four in a day).''

===Tools===
* Bob's toolbags (in helicopter)
* Dry suits & boots
* cordless drill
* unbroken survey rod & tripod
* sledge (in helicopter)
* file (2)

===Things to do yet in Toolik===
* Follow up on Ken's email about other station work
* Continue Daily Computer Backups
* Umiat Send list:
** Trimble Setup
** Trimble Tripod
** 50W solar panel
** unistrut
** quarter inch bolts (short)
* Staff gauges

=== Ken Note===
I did it in terminal mode using a terminal program, hit enter
unitl the CR1000> prompt shows, then SDI12 and give the control port,
then you can send sdi12 commands down the line. I tried 0M! and 0D!,
but couldn't figure out how to get any data from the sensors, but
could tell if a sensor was there. Then 0A4! to change the address,
and it was done.

It has photos of the ice features and definitions you may find helpful.

Useful terms to describe the ice size are sheets, pans, chunks. Other
features are ice runs (continuous length of moving ice) & ice jams
(note page 5 describing ice jams).

GPS coordinates and a description in your field book would be helpful.
Measurements of ice dimensions w/ a tape measure would also be
helpful. Other things to note are anchor or bottom fast ice and
shore ice. When does it all disappear from the channel, particularly
at the gauging reach?
