199.165.126.77:

To Do:
* Change out snow transducers, 8 pieces
* swap back the B site net radiometer
* change out desiccant in the D site radiometer
* level radiometers
* Fix C site Rim Snow Sensor
* D Thermal Conductivity
** Program works fine in Fairbanks
** OKAY... Look at how it is wired in the field. / in pictures. I think there are two pulse port instructions when there should be just one.
To Bring:
* CNR4 Net Radiometers
** One for B (the original)
** retap the D screws and if I can't get that to work then move the altern
* ate radiometer from inventory (B) to D.

Plan:
Code: FDVIBG
Depart Thursday morning @ 7:40am
Return Friday night @ 12:21 AM

===Thursday===
* @ airport by 6ish
* grab coke in Fairbanks airport
* Arrive at NARL around 11am
* get keys and dress for day in field
** wind breaker
** backpack ready to go
** lunch for the day
** Water bottle, fill it
** actionpacker with:
*** 8 snow sensors
*** toolbag
*** net radiometer for B
*** drill for tapping D radiometer if needed
*** 6/32 screw for D
*** also bringing a 4/32 screw & tap for backup.
*** serial cable

===At each site===
* level radiometer
* level precip bucket
* look at leveling tower / anemomemters
* listen to anemometers for bearing problems
* swap out desiccant in the box
* might double-check serial numbers if there is time
* more pictures

===Additionally===
* At B swap back in original radiometer
* At C fix the Rim snow sensor
* At D change out the desiccant in the radiometer

===Tools used===
* Desiccant swap:
** None
* Net Radiometer
** phillips screw driver
** anti-oxidizing goo
* Precip bucket
** 5/16" nut driver on hose clamp and self-tapping screw on the bucket lid
** torpedo level
* snow sensors
** Phillips screw driver (had on hand 3)
** channel locks
** 1/4" nut driver
** flat screw driver
** 1/2" nut driver
** red electrical tape
* Also had on hand:
** serial cable
** laptop
** voltmeter
** cr1000 keypad
** csi flat screw driver
** small 1.5m tape
** tap & die set (for net radiometer, not used this trip)
** multitool
** duct seal
** cable ties

==Backpack contents===
* 8 snow sensors
* tool bag with tools above
* first aid kit
* rain coat
* ultrapod
* gopro & extra battery
* waterproof pack cover
* toughbook
* extra serial cable
* snug hat
* mouth balaclava
* gopro chest mount
* this check list page
* water bottle
* five bar snacks
* Extra desiccant (shoot for replacing at least annually and 2-4 packs per trip)
* bike stereo & stereo cable plus ipod in waterproof bag
* 2 pairs of liner gloves
* gray fleece
* green long underwear top
* black windproof vest

===Wrap up notes===
* Precip stands seem to be levelest at A & C so might be best to use them.
* most net radiometers were close to level.
* Look into buying more tap & die drill bits & the alternate type that dead end flat like Bill mentioned.
* see about buying more of the SR50A screws that secure the disposable transducer to the main body.
* The C site Net radiometer will need to be tap & drilled on the next trip. I greased all but one screw on this trip but it was stripped on the head.
* should grease all hardware (the main ones like SR50A, net radiometer etc) annually.
* with things stable, should retrieve current programs and make sure git archive is up to date.

===Program note===
Just a quickie. From CR signature checker:
Program Signatures Values, match with the 7th field in the first line of the .dat file
60958 GRID_SITE.CR1
27520 ngee_intensive_site_A.CR1
26235 ngee_intensive_site_B.CR1
47521 ngee_intensive_site_C.CR1
6216 ngee_intensive_site_D.CR1

A matches the logger (as viewed in logger net -> status table
B matches the logger (as viewed in logger net -> status table
C matches the logger (as viewed in logger net -> status table
D matches the logger (as viewed in logger net -> status table
... D doesn't match the data file though and I guess that is where I got hung up. The data file didn't increment along with the change of the program signature for the D site.
