Notes from June 2002 Seward Peninsula Trip

Burn Met Tower—
1.	Moved the logger from the cooler into a Campbell enclosure on the tower.
2.	Rewired the rain gauge.  Wire was broken in two spots.  Installed a new funnel (525ws) funnel.  The rain gauge appears to be a 525m.  Need to research this more.
3.	The net radiometer was reading 0.00.  Clipped the end of the cable (5’) and rewired.  This  fixed the problem.  Must have been a bad end of cable.

• 2003 All Good
• 2004 All Good
• 2005 All Good
• 2006 Mostly Good
  • Bear damage of 3m WS/WD?
• 2007 All Good
• 2008 All Good
• 2009 Problems... need to follow up with data from other sites.

AT/RH 1m: 6/4/2009 0:00 - 7/31/2009 16:00 (Bear Damage)
AT/RH 3m: 6/4/2009 0:00 - 9/25/2009 16:00
WS/WD need to compare to other Kougarok sites.  90% sure it is bunk.  I don't trust specifically the anemometer being pointed north much of the time.  Perhaps fixed on 9/25/2009 visit.
Precip -- Broken all year (tipping bucket removed by animal) but bucket replaced on 9/25/2009 trip.

Precip -- possibly broken again until 6/25/2010 visit... need to compare to other sites.
