Met Sites and Repeaters

DUR6 Itmalakpak

  • Shovel out solar panel.
  • Replace barometric pressure if time permits.
  • Need a new e-fence charger.
    • The lower line is not working but the top line is working.

DUM3 Nanushuk

  • Stakes needed to pin down efence charger

DUM4 Tuluga Met

  • Potential bear damage at station. 
    • Have not heard from station since late September.
  • Need an E-Fence; Also new stand?:
    • is sitting on the ground surface next to the southwestern fencepost - to the south of the raingauge, the mount is broken and the solar panel/battery is not working
  • New Gieck Base & Alter Shield
  • Level Precip Bucket

DUM5 Encampment Met

  • Bear Fence Needs Repair

DUM6 White Lake Met

  • Tighten wiring on Air temp backup (GWS style)

DUM7 Hat Box Mesa

  • Put Conduit over Soil thermistor cable

DFM2 White Hills Met

  • Needs major  sensor repairs. Most of the sensors are bad.
  • Would be good to get rainfall and air temperature but I propose probably not fixing the following broken sensors: 
    • needs a new anemometer (bad bearings),
    • has a bad SR50 snow depth sensor old style
    • Needs an HMP Air temp sensor or a new backup sensor

DFM4 Northwest Kuparuk Met

  • Check radiation shields, are sensors in the shield? 
  • Replace SR50 old style. 
  • Fence was in very poor shape on last trip to station.

Surface Water Stations

Lower Itkillik Station

  • Plant Cam
    • From Toolik?
  • Needs freewave radio
  • Needs new program loaded into logger for water levels, turbidity, should be identical to Upper Itkillik except for no cameras.
  • Station has:
    • HMP,
    • 10KOhm resistor
    • Battery box thermistor.
    • Rig job radio set up: Left pins 2, 3, 5 plugged into Ken's serial connector deal and unplugged 1, 4, 6. Taped back up.
    • Plugged in null modem to logger and unplugged power to logger for winter.
    • Bad radio or bad connection.
  • Snow Survey

DUS3 Chandler Bluff Met

  • Leaning tower due to erosion problems. 
  • Measure the leaning SR50 snow depth sensor distance to snow surface and snow depth so we can possibly correct the bad data due to the leaning tower. 
  • Move mast onto new tripod base and patch up station best you can.
  • Remeasure SR50 distances, etc. 

Chandler Crossing

  • Install Plant Cam

Chandler Gaging Site

  • Install Hobo for backup
  • Install PTs
    • Record S/N
    • SDI Address
    • PSI Rating
  • Survey in Benchmarks & TBMs
  • Snow Survey

DUS2 Anaktuvuk River

  • Needs new soil thermistor string
  • Needs new Gieck Base and alter shield
  • Fix Cameras
    • Bring Extra Cable & Camera to the site
    • Mount GoPro to Tent frame
  • Snow Survey

Needed from Toolik

  • Stakes for DUM efence charger
  • CC640 Power Plugs (6 conductor deals)
  • Some Conduit

Needed from Umiat

  • BLM flight schedule
  • Return Plant Cams to Fairbanks (2 units)
