Tape Color is BLUE

To Bring:

Outstanding Items

  • Make Discharge Measurement
  • Need to bring out
  • 1" Al pipe for away from tripod snow stand... can skinny pipe be made to work?
  • Declination is 11 degrees... need to correct this using datapro function.
  • XX use battery box tarp to flop soil pit lid onto.
  • camera power
  • XX terminal strips for SDI 12 devices.
  • XX 1"x1ft stub for net radiation
  • XX guy wires for snow stand
  • mount camera
  • fix program problems:
    • Resistor logging
    • soil temperature logging
    • check to see that east 30 sensors are good with the jumper wire in place

Cross Arms

  • Net Radiometer skin temperature
    • need to track down unistrut & strut clamps for stabilization (or ubolts)
  • small cross arm for air temperature
  • RM Young should mount to top without issue.
  • Precip stand is already out there
  • Need to figure out where NDVI sensors point. & do we have all supplies for that...


Sensors

To Bring:

  • 015103 WS/WD
    • Make up cable for it
  • CR200 for measuring Pressure Transducers
  • 5 pcs VITEL Hydraprobe II
  • 4 pcs East30 sensors thermal conductivity or specific heat
    • also interface board
    • also measure the heater resistance of each
  • Cable protection
  • cable ties & hose clamps for securing cabling to tripod
  • VATP 1504 - see email for thermistor calibration offsets

Sensor Heights

  • Anemometer @ top of tripod / ~3 meters
  • HMP155 @ 1.5m above ground surface
  • Barometric Pressure - in instrument box
  • Net Radiation -
  • Snow Temperature profile -- ground surface in the shrubs
  • Snow Depth 1 -- 2m on cross arm off station
  • Snow Depth 2 -- in shrubs on a stand.


Already at site:

  • HMP155
    • thinking about bringing out a replacement temperature head though because the one in place has been on the fritz over the summer.
  • TE525MM
  • CNR4 w/bracket
  • Two Batteries
  • Solar Panel
  • Charge Controller



Extras

  • think about how to mount iridium here...
  • Bring covers from Fairbanks to cover unitstrut ends like tennis balls.
