Rough plan
- Join ORNL / Sigrid team partway through
Stuff to Pre-Ship
- Any gear
- Personal Gear
Broken Things to Look at
Teller m47
- Grab from UAF storage the two spare AT/RH to swap in.
Teller SW
This site is about 10 minutes off the road next to the Teller Bottom Site. Rubber Boots would be good for the hike. Hiking boots are fine, too. The wet spots mostly can be avoided with a bit of extra walking.
- Need a battery, solar panel, and CR800 w/ program to replace animal damaged hardware.
- worst case could grab a battery from teller bottom...
- Make a discharge measurement & manually measure stage
Teller Bottom
- Heat Flux Plate... Loose Wires?
- Measure how far VATP is sticking out of the ground
- Grab the missing gap of data off logger.
Teller Top
- HMP155 needs replacing
- Level CNR4
- Level Rain Gage
- Program Changes:
- log resistance of thermal conductivity probes instead of temperature.
- Maybe change the file saving from filling the memory as is done at present.
- Change output of snow temperature profile to go 10/5 to 6/5
- Increase the mV range of the top soil heat flux plate to reduce occasional over-ranging in summer / early fall.
- Measure how far VATP is sticking out of the ground
- I think all sensors on it are bad... (5/17/21)
- Tools:
- Computer
- Serial cable
- large channel lock for HMP155 replacement
- electrical tape for HMP155 replacement
- torpedo level
- bubble level
- large #2 phillips for CNR4 leveling
- small #2 phillips for CNR4
- grease for anticorrosion
- 5/16" nut driver
- Bring up a couple rocks to help level Rain Gage
- I remember one end being bottomed out or something.
Council Grid
Kougarok m64
- LOTS of broken
Kougarok 10m tower
- Download Data over radio
Kougarok Burn Site
- Download Data over radio
Stretch Goals
If timing works out:
Check out Radio base station at NW Campus
- Same building as NGEE warm storage (I believe). base is in an IT closet.
- Computer went offline in March and I might just replace it.
Drive up and check on first radio repeater atop Anvil Mountain
- 10-15 minute drive, 2 minute walk to a site on top of Anvil Mountain. Radio still works but radio to logger dongle died over winter.
