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
