  • snacks
  • new fieldbook

To Do Yet

  • GeoPDFs with new points
  • Load XML into trimble software and copy over to handheld controller
  • step stool for teller bottom

Favors

Activities

Support Chinese Delegation

  • September 18: Arrive in Nome
    • 9/17 Meet Bob Metcalf
    • 9/17 - 9/19: Final Site Selection & Install ground instruments
    • 9/20-25: Get permits & install sites
  • September 26 Evening: Leave for Fairbanks

Teller

  • Check the next visit page (I'll copy/paste at some point)
Teller Bottom
  • change transducers for snow depth sensors
  • download data
  • measure VATP thermistors
  • relevel radiometer
  • bring out one step stool to level teller bottom radiometer.
  • tap new hole in CNR4 & replace desiccant
  • bring desiccant for box
Teller Surface Water
  • download data
  • replace desiccant
  • discharge measurement with salt slug
  • Need to secure solar panel before winter with nails
  • YSI conductivity meter
Teller Top
  • download data
  • change transducers for snow depth sensors
  • relevel radiometer

Council

Council C1 Grid
  • Would be great to visit C1 site and download data
  • Redrill hole for C1 Grid temperature probe
Skookum Pass
  • I'd like to visit site and swap out data logger so that we can retrieve data from Nome again. currently have to use a computer in Fairbanks. Also need to change program to add radio on/off sophistication as the icing the last two winters has been keeping solar panel inaccessible until April (with respect to battery charging)

Kougarok

Kougarok Mile 64
  • don't really need snow depth here it would seem but just double check all measurements and relevel radiometer / precip
  • any surveying to be done before next spring?
Kougarok 10m tower
  • A station visit to would be awesome even for just 2 hours to double-check site in anticipation of it being used for the disturbance study.
  • Mandatory download data though even if by radio
  • level radiometers
  • replace radiometer desiccant
Kougarok Mauze gulch
  • Minimum would be download data by radio
Kougarok Burn Site
  • Download data by radio
