Goals:
- Install Barrow Site D Inventory
- Soil Cores
Soil Core component: 8 Bob, Bob, & Sammy
- Use RTK GPS and transect across a polygon in the area south
- pull a
Site D Install Instrumentation List:
- 5 Temperature Probes (1.5m depth)
- Possibly one soil pit (soil & water conditions depending)
- Air Temperature / Relative Humidity @ 1.5 meters
- Snow Depth @ 1.5 meters
- Net Radiation @ 1.3 meters
Additional Site Work:
- Level Radiometers at the other sites
