* all good / corrected

====Radiation 2018====
* SW & LW & Skin Temp look good through 6/2018 visit.

===Soil===
* I need to dig into the fieldbook notes to see if the VATP jacked at all in 2017.

====Soil 2017====
* Heat Flux plates nonworking until 10/2017
====Soil 2018====
* 2018 heat flux plates look decent.
** it could be that top & bottom are flipped and also that what should be the top is actually flipped in sign?...need to compare to top.

===Station History / Site Downloads / visits:===
====September 24 & 26====
* B Busey / Bolton / et al
* memory problem on logger 9/24 but due to food poisoning just downloaded data.
* returned 9/26 and upgraded the OS to latest
* resent program & readdressed.
* I don't yet know the problem here? Error in CF card perhaps? In 2019 I will replace the CF card with another.

====June 12 & 15 2018====
* B Busey & N Wales
* fixed animal damage
* fixed program bug

====April 10 2016====
* Temporary station built above flood plain. Station put in at end of first snow survey trip of Teller.
* At that point this was labeled the blue site (the blue electrical tape IDed this site in the logistics phase).
* Site established around 4/10/2016
** AT/RH
** 4 component Radiation
** Surface water
====April 21 - May 5 1 2016====
* Station visited nearly daily during ablation trip
====July 2016====
* LC visited and downloaded data.
* Temporary station had fallen over (knocked by an animal).
====August 12 - 22 2016====
* LC & B Busey improve upon site making Teller Bottom site and splitting off the Teller Surface Water Station.
* Wind Speed / Direction added
* W

24.237.158.27:

===To Buy===
* Step ladder for teller bottom
* 12 volt Trimble cable
* Bring out a replacement memory card for the Teller Bottom CFM module

===General===
* 2 Trimble Yellow batteries left in NW Campus Warm Storage

===Seward Peninsula===
[[2019 NGEE Nome March Trip]]

[[2019 NGEE Nome June Trip]]
* SR50A transducer replacement (fall activity)
* (2019) bring out one step stool to level teller bottom radiometer.
* (2019) bring out tap, die, drill, drill bit, screw for teller bottom radiometer.
** screw...
* '''also replace cnr4 desiccant since the unit didn't look like it was sealing right with this missing screw.'''
* '''Bring out additional desiccant? for box'''
* '''Teller SW desiccant replacement'''
* (2019) Redrill hole for C1 Grid temperature probe
** what is needed for this?
* Measure Creek Flow
** salt slug, n=2 samples of 50g / known volume of water
* Re-level radiometers
* polish radiometer domes
* Measure thermistors resistances at Teller Bottom and add them to fieldbook.
** There are a couple with a 0.5C offset at spring freezing point so I think they may be failing and or something...
** Related: I'm wondering if the delay between measurements should be increased for the thermistor measurements.
** Also related: perhaps add a second string up at teller top?
** sort of some additional homework is that I saw instability in a number of thermistors when measuring up top. I suspect but haven't verified that this instability is an indicator for the wonky temperatures seen in the data but need to confirm.
* 6/11/2018 In Fairbanks... down in 106 / the basement there is a box of 12" nails. Would be good to grab three for the Teller SW solar panel tripod
* I should do some experiments with the thermal conductivity thermistors in office/lab to see if I can reduce the noisiness.
* finish surveying vegetation plots

====Kougarok====
* bring out a serial cable for box (removed it in fall 2018)
* get a compass reading on anemometer
** leave a compass in the box

====Teller SW Flow====
* left a metal meter stick at the site
* fieldbook
* YSI conductivity meter
** manual
* electrical tape

==== Radiation Level:====
* step ladder
* a bit of wood to provide better base for step ladder
* phillips screwdriver for level

==== Radiation Desiccant Swap:====
* Step ladder
* small CSI phillips
* K&Z desiccant pack
* anti-corrosion goo

====Teller Top Soil Temperatures====
* Volt meter
* fieldbook
** learned but need to confirm that the thermistors with a capacitance are ones that are unstable and failing.

===Utqiagvik===
* Intensive Site A HMP155 failed (3.5m)
* Intensive Site B HMP155 failed (1.4m)
* Intensive Site C HMP155 failed
* need to replace the network cable running from the computer to the network switch. It cuts out with minimal bumping.... but station is finally back online!!!
* Site A SR50A transducers have failed
* some subsurface items are beginning to fail.
* bring up clear tape and a biz card to label the computer
* bring up the nuc plate and wood screws and other screw packet to mount nuc to wall
