... Abridged version of notes from the RTK class.

* Set up Bluetooth communication with the GPS: ''General Survey -> Instruments -> GNSS functions -> Bluetooth''
** identify both the rover and the base GPS here.
* Set the Survey Style: ''Main Menu -> Settings -> Survey Styles''
** ''rtk int radio'' = internal radios on both gps
** ''RTK'' = use an external radio for the base.

2013 September Update

For visiting a new site and executing a gps survey:
# Pound a rebar into the ground to use as a ground control point
# Set Tripod up over Rebar.
# Mount the Tribarach to the tripod
# Screw the base GPS into a 6" range pole extension, and mount to the hockey puck on the tribarach
# screw the antenna on to the base gps
# connect the base station battery to the gps
# Measure from the Middle of the blue rubber bumper on the base gps to the ground control point.
# Mount the Rover GPS to the Range Pole
# Connect the rover battery and antenna
# The all thread center of the rangepole is extendable. Raise it until the blue rubber bumper on the rover GPS is at 1.55 meters. There is a brass knurled nut that can be spun into place to prevent movement of the all thread center.
# Mount the TSC3 handheld controller to the rover GPS range pole.
# Turn on the TSC3. From the Trimble Software select ''General Survey''
# Next, Select ''Jobs''; ''New Job''
# This will bring up a new window. The coordinate system will need to be selected.
## Side note: If you want to use like the 2009 GEOID it is easiest to set that up using the Trimble Business Center on the toughbook, import this job as noted lower in this page. I think that might be generally the best practice: Set up the job before visiting the survey site actually. Anyway, if you aren't doing it that way...
# Select the Coordinate System
# Select it from the Library:
## System: UTM
## Zone: 7 = Barrow; 6 = Prudhoe... check your handheld GPS if you're not sure what zone you're in.
## Datum: NAD1983 Alaska
# Project Height: 100
# Now the job is setup. With the Rover and Base GPS both turned on:
## Click on the ''Measure'' Button
## Click ''rtk int radio...''
## Click ''Start Base Receiver''
## For a site you've never visited before, once you start the base receiver it will prompt you for a point name.
### Select ''Key In''
### Select ''Here''
### Name the point
### Enter Antenna Height, a quantity you measured earlier in the setup process
### Measured to: ''Center of bumper''
## Click ''Start''
## Now we'll start the rover. Again, click ''Measure'' then ''Measure Points''
## The handheld will try to establish a link to the rover GPS.
## You will be prompted for the base gps you wish to connect to. Index 27 is ours.
# Now you're nearly ready to survey. First though the Rover GPS parameters will need to be entered.
# Set the Antenna Height to 1.55 meters
# Measured to: ''Center of Bumper''
# Click the ''Options'' button at the bottom of the screen
# Change the number of measurements from 20 to ''5''
# You're now ready to survey.

Connecting to the Barrow RTK System:

http://facility.unavco.org/project_support/polar/barrow/equip.html
I have added a new base radio & configuration to the

Following existing points is called 'Stakeout'

So, maybe the TDL450 radio can't tie in to the barrow network, which seems to operate at 418 MHz (which makes sense since we need to receive data not transmit it):

//In addition, the base station transmits real-time kinematic (RTK) broadcasts at 418 MHz (CMR+ format at 9600 baud). //

Thermo-erosion Survey
Location: http://binged.it/10NHaxw

To Bring:
* RTK gps system pelican case with all batteries fully charged
* Survey Tripod
* Label Maker
* 2pcs Extendable Range Pole
* 6pcs 1.2m Range Poles
* Camera, Lens, Battery, Remote Trigger
* Additional Marker Plates
* Nails
* Field book
* Lunch
* Marker Plates

To Do:
* Set up RTK GPS system at the thermo-erosion site.
* While one person places the marker plates the other will survey them using the RTK gps system
** I am not sure how long this will take, I'm budgeting for two days. I have the GPS set up to position average for 20 seconds per point. So, there is a finite number of points we can do per day and I don't know how many points we'll end up taking until we get out there.
* After the plates are surveyed in (or while one of us is surveying, can play that by ear), we'll also conduct a photo survey using a camera mounted at about 5 meters above the ground surface.
* Time Depending: Maybe also swing by the North Facing High Site to check on the battery.

==General==
For people who aren't able to attend the Learn To Return etc. safety workshops, here are some links that are another way to get some of the information.

==Worthy Goals==
* Annual Bear Safety Training & certification
* Annual CPR Training & certification
* Basic First aid or wilderness first aid every 3 years & certification
* Swiftwater Rescue & certification

==Bear Safety==
A fish and Game video:
* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM0OghpVaFY
A video licensed for viewing (I think) by the Department of Energy about Polar Bear safety:
* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYnIk0ksfM4&feature=player_embedded
A paper on defensive use with pepper spray that is pretty good:
* http://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/bear_cougar/bear/files/JWM_BearSprayAlaska.pdf
The references at the end of this Wikipedia page about bear spray are solid:
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_spray

Commercial DVDs:
* Polar Bears: A Guide to Safety -- http://www.macecanada.com/canada/product/polar_video2.htm
* Working in Bear Country -- http://www.macecanada.com/canada/product/video2.htm
* From the bear country family of videos, a pepper spray shot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWnACum4SJs&feature=related

==ATV Safety==
Some decent videos here:
* http://www.youtube.com/user/ATVsafetyinstitute?feature=watch
A US Government website about safe ATV use:
* http://www.atvsafety.gov/safetytips.html

==Snowmachine Safety==
Some of these are a bit dated but the concepts are for the most part good. 
Skidoo / Bombardier Snowmobile safety:

===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.'' 
'''Youtube Links:'''

* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dodsozxoiA&feature=related (A bit dated information-wise at this point and more focused on water hypothermia but should give a good foundation((fast forward to 6 minutes for symptoms)) )

* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrwsXcVFd4o

===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.''

Compass calibration

2013-03-28T19:56:25Z

137.229.92.243:

Compass calibration requred before measurement if using a GPS. Calibration and evaluation less than 2 degrees according to RDI guidance. Better yet, should be less than 1 degree (evaluation) from USGS guidance.

We now use the Homan method to calibrate the streampro compass. It works best if you turn the instrument until you get a green bar. Then hold for 5 seconds or so. Then slowly turn the instrument until you get the next green bar. Then stop and hold for 5 seconds again. Continue on with this until you are finished in a complete circle. Then you will have to repeat it again for the evaluation and it will give you your score at the end. You should get less than 2 degrees error. Here is two people doing it, one person tends to work better (with a second on the computer):

Discharge measurements with ADCP

2013-03-28T19:46:49Z

137.229.92.243:

* [[ADCP References]] Visit this page for documentation of procedures for ADCP you will be using.

Additional Equipment needed:
*Laser Rangefinder to measure shore distances,
*Field Book for note taking,
*Handheld radios for communications.

Data you will need to know before making a measurement:
*Transducer depth below water surface
*Maximum water depth and velocity
*Magnetic declination (see NOAA)

Notes you should take in the field:

*General cross section shape (record in field notes, needed for estimating flow along edges)
*Bank shapes
*Flow description (steady/unsteady, turbulence, eddies, slack water, reverse flows, etc).
*Start and stop points (distance to shore)
*configuration

Required steps for QAQC:

*ADCP test
*[[Compass calibration]] (Rio Grande, River Cat, River Surveyor Streampro)
*[[Moving bed test]] REQUIRED (especially if no GPS)

== Other notes ==

*RTK-GPS is recommended, but check the GGA string to make sure it is working (5 for Novatel RTK, 9 indicates WAAS is enabled)
*ADCP baud rate should be 115K, GPS baud rate is set at 39K. Initially (upon receiving the purchase of a new instrument), the Rio Grande baud rate needs to be programmed using BBTalk or equivalent.
*Measure (not estimate) your edge distances w/ laser rangefinder or tape measure. Describe the edge (triangle or square?) in order to get the best estimate of flow in the edge.
*Measure your ADCP transducer depth below water surface with ruler or tape measure and keep an eye on it during the measurement to see if it changes.
*Beam 3 forward or offset 45 deg. If offset put a note in your field book and need to enter this into Winriver II. Note: The new streampros (w/ compass) need to be in the proper orientation at all times. The arrow indicates the forward direction and it is 45 degrees offset. The power and communication unit needs to be oriented forward as well (as it is in a trimaran set up), if not you can apply a 180 degree correction. Make a note of all orientations.
*Gage height. Record the gage height before and after the measurement to make sure there is no big changes in stage/flow during measurement. If there is no staff gage at the location of discharge measurement, install a temporary rebar in the river and do a tape down measurement before/after
*Water temperature. Field check the water temperature with a portable probe at the location of your measurement to make sure the adcp temperature is correct.
*Use WinRiver II to QA/QC discharge measurement in the field!

*For RDI ADCPs The water modes / cell size configuration are a trade off between range, random noise and resolution. Small cells will be noisier but have good resolution. Large cells will give you less noisy data, but lower resolution.

Follow the following excerpt from USGS QAQC procedures by Oberg et. al.:
USGS SIR 2005-5183 "Quality Assurance Plan for Discharge Measurements using Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers"

"It is important to select appropriate measurement cross
sections for streamflow measurements. Many ADCP measurement
problems can be solved by moving to a better measurement
section. The guidelines provided in USGS Water-
Supply Paper 2175 (Rantz and others, 1982, p. 139) should
be followed when using an ADCP, except for those guidelines
that relate to depth and velocity requirements for current-meter
measurements. Rantz states:
“The first step in making a conventional current-meter
measurement of discharge is to select a measurement crosssection
of desirable qualities. If the stream cannot be waded,
and high-water measurements are made from a bridge or
cableway, the hydrographer has no choice with regard to
selection of a measurement cross-section. If the stream can be
waded, the hydrographer looks for a cross-section of channel
with the following qualities:

1. Cross-section lies within a straight reach, and streamlines
are parallel to each other.

2. Velocities are greater than 0.5 ft/s (0.15 m/s) and
depths are greater than 0.5 ft (0.15 m).

3. Streambed is relatively uniform and free of numerous
boulders and heavy aquatic growth.

4. Flow is relatively uniform and free of eddies, slack
water, and excessive turbulence.

5. Measurement section is relatively close to the gaging station
control to avoid the effect of tributary inflow
between the measurement section and control and to
avoid the effect of storage between the measurement
section and control during periods of rapidly changing
stage.

It will often be impossible to meet all of the above criteria, and
when that is the case, the hydrographer must exercise judgment
in selecting the best of the sites available for making the
discharge measurement. If the stream cannot be waded and
the measurement must be made from a boat, the measurement
section selected should have the attributes listed above, except
for those listed in item 2 concerning depth and velocity.”

General guidelines for selection of an ADCP measurement
section are listed below.

• Desirable measurement sections are roughly parabolic,
trapezoidal, or rectangular. Asymmetric channel
geometries (for example, deep on one side and shallow
on the other) should be avoided if possible (Simpson,
2002), as should cross sections with abrupt changes in
channel-bottom slope. The streambed cross section
should be as uniform as possible and free from debris
and vegetation or plant growth.

• Measurement sections with velocities less than
0.30 ft/s should be avoided if it is possible to do so,
and an alternative measurement location is available.
Although measurements can be made in low velocities,
boat speeds must be kept extremely slow (if possible,
less than or equal to the average water velocity)
requiring special techniques for boat control (Simpson,
2002).

• Depth at the measurement site should allow for the
measurement of velocity in two or more depth cells at
the start and stop points near the left and right edges of
water.

• Sites with very turbulent flow, for example, evidenced
by standing waves, large eddies, and non-uniform
flow lines, should be avoided. This condition is often
indicative of non-homogenous flow, a condition that
violates one of the assumptions required for accurate
ADCP velocity and discharge measurements.

• Measurement sections having local magnetic fields that
are relatively large as compared to the Earth’s magnetic
field should be avoided. Large steel structures, such as
overhead truss bridges, are a common source for these
large local magnetic fields and may result in ADCP
compass errors.

• When using DGPS, avoid locations where multi-path
interference is possible (signals from the satellites
bounce off structures and objects such as trees along
the bank) or where
reception of signals from GPS satellites is blocked."
=== Other notes... from Bob ===
* See some cataraft pictures here:
http://werc.engr.uaf.edu/~bob/discharge/2011_Itkillik_ADCP_Setups/
* Decent NRS Strap layout for securing the cataraft frame to the pontoons:
http://werc.engr.uaf.edu/~bob/discharge/field_book_2011_may/Busey_Umiat_2011-pg4_5.jpg
Further Notes from Bob written in June 2011. Specifically about the Upper Itkillik at break up but probably useful more generally.
* We found it good to have a third cone at the downstream '''''don't go below here''''' point. If the water is big and fast and you need to do an open loop that finishes below, More cones along the bank would be helpful to guide to.
* Turns out not all the time is it good to go with the current. Standing waves are to be avoided if at all possible (more of these on the left bank of the Itkillik at break up).
* Still need to figure a good way to catch the edges in moving water where no one can get out. Typically we think of that in the bad distance to shore number but spending a couple minutes at the edge trying to get into proper position is another piece of error.
* In turbulent water like the day after peak I think but can't say for sure that less of a diagonal might be better. I don't know though. Waves are tricky and especially with the engine variability.
* With the wave you lose ensembles first to the off kilter adcp and then again when the engine changes speed to compensate for the new water. So, a single bad ensembles quickly grows to several.
* So, do the diagonal to minimize time in the standing wave. (Much easier said than done). In the bow, I almost never noticed the standing waves except in the bad ensembles.
* In the bigger water we found it worked well to have the discharge book on shore and have the computer person call out just the left bank and right bank numbers to person 3. Once the river slowed, the book moved to the boat for a couple days but it was convenient to work the radios on the Itkillik.
* Get a bluetooth keyboard/touchpad combo and put it in an aloksak, hopefully one that can have a string tied onto it.
http://werc.engr.uaf.edu/~bob/discharge/2011_Itkillik_ADCP_Setups/large-6.html
* For achilles and plan b, it'd be nice to be able to tilt the computer screen at an angle.

Idle Brainstorming about the difficulty of seeing the laptop screen out on the water:
* Open Question: would a glass cleaner be suitable for keeping the laptop drybag clear?
* how about a pelican case with connections epoxied in place rather than the dry bag... Not sure about this one but I think the rover set up could definitely be improved.
* If we could figure out how to do it safely without the danger of losing a computer to the drink, the actionpacker was the easiest way to run everything the scrren although... The shape isn't the greatest, the slender base compare to the top makes it want to slide off the knees.
* Swivel chair is key for the cataraft.
* For engine on cataraft bow pipe is raised fifteen to thirty degrees from horizontal and the bar goes two to four inches past the black rugged tube surface
* for rowing in this configuration, port oar blade is in stern, starboard oar is in the bow. In an emergency, the driver will hand the starboard oar to the computer person and the computer person will swing around to face downstream and grab the port oar.
* for rowing in general, we found shifting the rowing frame back four to six inches (just a couple inches onto the black for the bow portion of the frame). Also, it was fine rowing in the motor position.
* with row-only, the driver and computer person trade places. I found myself as the computer person not getting fully onto the frame, just the upper body to work the computer. Legs and all were stretched back on the end of the starboard pontoon.
* with a motor set up, the third person will push the party out. With the rowing configuration, the computer person can hold the cataraft in position for the edge bins and then hop on for the transect proper (this is where the value comes in for not getting all the way onto the frame). At the transect conclusion, the computer person hops out, holds for ten bins and stops the transect.
* It took a bit of figuring out (didn't do this method on the first 5/31 transect) but this procedure really limited edge estimate error I think among other things.

AR Parrot and remote robotics type stuff

2013-02-19T04:44:37Z

137.229.92.243:

Just posting this as a jumping off point as we ramp up our remote robotics capabilities. Version 1 of this page focuses on the AR Parrot 2.0 Drone: 
http://ardrone2.parrot.com/usa/

Some extra software here (open source some of it): 
https://www.robotappstore.com/Pages/Model.aspx?Model=DRONE

Like for doing more advanced AI stuff. This is one of several trackers but also has capabilities for line following and a few other tricks: 
https://home.wlu.edu/~levys/software/ardrone_autopylot/

This library is used to allow computer control (and add joystick capability… linux or windows ie toughbook control): 
http://www.urbiforge.org/index.php/Projects/Urbi4ARDrone

The gist is using the onboard processor to track a color. Not the greatest but cool. 

Then here is a good jumping off point on youtube from the autopylot link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3697dtyOz4&lr=1

For a mobile landing pad I'm imagining a quick put together rigid platform. The stiffness would come from a pvc pipe setup (like 1/2" pipe or something else light). Stretch a tarp or similar over the grid and tighten into place with NRS straps or bungees.

==Sep field work 2012==
* Proposed dates: Arrival evening Sunday Sep 23, departure Friday evening Sep 30th.
* Arrive on the evening on Monday Sep 24.
* People: Bob B, Anna L, Sasha K

==Itinerary==
===Tasks===
* download and maintain Campbell logger
** change program to make it table data compatible
** load new OS
** set pakbus ID to 404
* Installation of additional CSI snow depth (4)
** need to add an extra sensor to one of the sites
** I have the sensors, A & S have the rest of the parts
* move webcam 90 degrees:
** short unistrut pieces (need to cut from stock in prep room)
** four bolts
** two angle pieces (four hole)
** four strut nuts
** sawzall packed
** climbing harness
* set up base radio & usb to serial
** bring a few components from Fairbanks
**

Oh, I was thinking for the base radio to bring the sawzall, cut the rusted ubolts on the tower and then hose clamp a new pipe in place for the base antenna

From my field book:
* Seal 3" Pipes
* serial cable to C (bring from FAI)
* null modem to A (at the control shed)
* animal proof A
* tarps to B & C
* NRS to C
* mount antenna and set up rad network
* TC probes @ C need extending
* Need to get #5 thermal conductivity S/N at C (maybe hold off till I wire them in?)
* Need to look at what a good value for heat flux looks like prior to the trip

===Potential Extra Items===
* Install power from Control Shed to site C (I am not sure the power is available to us??)
* Install wireless communication to grid site (requires power)

Variable terrain rain gage stand

===Introduction===
Precipitation stands for the rain gages and alter shields have evolved over time. The subject of this wiki is the first picture on the right. A new stand for variable terrain. The second two pictures to the right of the text show the main design used in the 90s and early 2000s. A rain gage is hose clamped to a rebar or several inside the perimeter of the altar shield. The alter shield is secured to two 2x4s crossed and notched. Although a good design for early in the life of the station, over time the shield tends to settle and moves out of the optimal shielding position. In addition, the rebars the precip bucket is connected to tend to move out of level, degrading the measurements. 
In 2005 GWS cooked up an alternate stand that uses duckbill anchors and rebars, which was maybe a decent design on paper (picture 4). In the field though, it was a real annoyance to keep level. 
At some point Rob Gieck designed the Gieck stand (picture 5). The Gieck stand is a combo of 4 2x6 pieces constructed in an equilateral triangle shape.
I haven't worked with the Gieck stand but in 2010 cooked up an alternative suitable for any type of terrain (figure 5 on the right). Although only built so far without alter shields, they would be easy to add on.
===Materials===
* 1 pcs 10' x 3/4" pipe
* 2 pcs 3/4" x 3/4" NU-RAIL Crossover Fitting
* 3 pcs 36" or 48" Screed Stake
* 4 pcs #28 Hose Clamp (1-5/16" to 2-1/4" Diameter adjustment range)
* 2 pcs #20 Hose Clamp (1-3/16" to 1-3/4" Diameter adjustment range)

===Tools===
* Sawzall
* Round File
* Flat File
* 5/16" Nut Driver
* ___ inch allen wrench (Nu-rail fittings use english allen wrenches though I'm not certain the size)
* bubble level
* hand maul or sledge hammer

===Procedure===
# In lab, cut 10' pipe to length. You have some flexibility here. For the stands we put in at CPCRW for [[Jessie Cable & Bob_Bolton EPSCOR in CPCRW project|Bob Bolton & Jessie Cable's Epscor project]] we cut the adjustment arms to 5' and the vertical pipe for the precip bucket to 30". Bob Bolton thought the 5' was over kill so it could be that a 45" / 45" / 30" setup would work better. For this procedure we'll assume the pipe is indeed cut to 45" / 45" / 30"
# After cutting the pipe, file off the metal burs with the two files. Use the round file for inside the pipe and the flat file for outside of the pipe.
# Head to the field.
# At the site, slide a Nu-Rail fitting over each 45" adjustment arm and then tighten it.
# Next, slide the precip bucket support leg through the open pipe hole of the Nu-rail fittings and tighten ... but not super tight the allen-head machine screws.
# Twist the two support arms around the precip support leg until they are roughly perpendicular to each other.
# Set the apparatus aside and pound a screed stake for the precip support leg into the ground. This screed stake can be pounded until just a few inches are above ground.
# Next, set the precip support leg adjacent to this first screed stake.
# Pound the other two screed stakes into the ground. Place them about 6" or so in from the far end of each adjustment arm. Pound the screed stakes until there is 12 to 18 inches of screed stake still above the ground surface... you might choose something different depending on the time of year... as long as you don't pound it to far there shouldn't be a problem.
# Take two of the #28 hose clamps (the bigger ones) and secure the bottom of the precip support leg to the first screed stake pounded into the ground. The 5/16" nut driver should be the right size for tightening the hose clamps.
# Mount the precip gage to the precip support leg using the #20 (smaller) hose clamps
# Remove the anodized aluminum orifice & funnel piece from the rain gage.
# Set the bubble level on the exposed rim.
# Raise and lower each adjustment arm until the bubble level shows the precip bucket level in both axes.
# Use the remaining #28 hose clamps to secure the adjustment arms to their screed stakes.
# Put the anodized orifice back on the rain gage

===Other options===
*Although these instructions don't include the addition of an alter shield, one could easily be added. I'm not sure the best way, there are several options. Maybe the easiest would be to find a supplier for these: 
'''[http://www.hollaender.com/?page=speedrail&r=1|No. 106 Dbl. Side Outlet Cross]''' 
... and pair that with four of the crossover fittings mentioned above in the materials section. It looks like (from pictures) the alter shields use 3/4" pipe so buy more 3/4" crossover fittings.
* Use this stand for other stuff like radiation / snow depth. Add one more 3/4" cross over fitting and a 5" horizontal pipe. Increase the length of the vertical pipe.
