Bob Busey NGEE Arctic Barrow Book 2

(This book is incomplete. Look for data in spreadsheets)

4/24/2014

• @ Site A
  • Replaced 1.4m AT/RH
    • removed: J0320039
    • replaced w/: K0810043
  • releveled net rad and replaced desiccant
  • data looks good post swap out
  • I think AT broken is corrosion related
• @ Site B
  • Replaced 3.5m AT/RH
    • removed J0320033
    • replaced w/ K0810046
  • Net Radiatiometer screws oxidized in place. need more corrosion protection.
  • 4/24/2014 1:00 CNR4 swap. Put out S/N 121081
    • SW Upper 15.07
    • SW Lower 15.75
    • LW Upper 8.05
    • LW Lower 7.46
  • all replaced instruments look good
• @ Site C
  • Couldn't open net radiometer box so left in Barrow
• @ Site D
  • Replaced Desiccant
  • D Thermal Conductivity Heaters
    • 1 68.2 Ohms
    • 2 70.2 Ohms
    • 3 70.4 Ohms
    • 4 70.7 Ohms
    • 5 69.1 Ohms
    • 6 70.3 Ohms
  • D Thermal conductivity resistance
    • 1 57.6 kohm
    • 2 57.8 kohm
    • 3 58.2 kohm
    • 4 57.5 kohm
    • 5 58.0 kohm
    • 6 58.38 kohm
• I think there must be a program problem w/ thermal conductivity @ D so checking into that.

8/21/2014

• @ Site A
  • A trough snow sensor too corroded for sensor swap
  • Level Net Rad (it was close)
  • level precip bucket (also looked close to level)
  • corrosion goo to net rad screws & connections
  • tools used:
    • 5/16" nut driver (precip)
    • torpedo level (precip)
    • 1/2" nut driver (snow)
    • flathead screwdriver w/ 1/4" nut driver (snow)
    • channel locks (snow)
    • phillips screwdriver (snow)
• @ Site B
  • leveled Net Rad
  • Swap back original Net Rad
  • Corrosion Protection
  • Level Precip (way off)
  • change snow trans
• @ Site C
  • Like A trough, C trough snow sensor to corroded to totally remove so swapping just transducer
  • Precip still level
  • Net Rad Leveled
    • 1 screw stripped
  • anti corrosion goo on WS & Net Rad
  • changed desiccant
• @ Site D
  • Changed net rad desiccant and leveled
  • swapped snow sensor 2901
• think I have the TC probes fixed. double check resistors are correct.
  • TC 1 26.01 kOhms
  • TC 2 28.82 kOHms
  • TC 3 32.59 kOhms
  • TC 4 23.76 kOhms
  • TC 5 28.35 kOhms
  • TC 6 30.96 kOhms
• Logger says maybe:
  • 1 11.35 kOhms
  • 2 11.40 kOhms
  • 3 11.51 kOhms
  • 4 11.26 kOhms
  • 5 11.39 kOhms
  • 6 11.45 kOhms

=Snow Sensor in memor reset of snow depth offsets

• A SR50A1 = 182.1
• A SR50A2 = 126.75
• C SR50A1 = left as programmed
• C SR50A2 = 115.0
• C SR50A3 = 117.3
• D SR50A1 = 159.7

Just changed in the memory.

General Comments

I think A & C precip are probably the highest quality.

C net rad will need a swap out for the frozen corroded screw next time up.

Averaged 30 minutes per site.

Ended up not having access to a wheelbarrow

• Set up over CP8 for survey of IR camera. Took points starting with one but skipped 8 by accident. Used hands & Belly for thermal marker.
• added CFM100 to A but not SM Probe yet.
• changed raspi for dreamplpug.
  • ser2net not cooperating not sure the deal. Iused the old usb to send so today changing it over.
• need to trackdown tool-wise:
  • yellow snipper
  • crimping tool
  • small channel lock
