Sensor Photo procedure
For recalibration swaps.
- Picture 1 = The new sensor being deployed
- Picture 2 = The old sensor being removed to send away for recalibration.
Partial Task List
- Ground anchor strengthening
- finish tracking power
- XX Snow Transducer Swap
- XX Replace CNR4s
- XX replace the anemometers starting from top
- XX pull out the eddy covariance units for recalibration
- XX replace geonor antifreeze
- I have written on the a bucket the ratio. Also need to dilute the mix so I can drop at dump.
- Hang the SWE sensor
- Add the NL100 to the network
- update the software
- 12V battery backups
- replace UPS batteries?
- Check output current of the two solar panels out there
- change Tower IP address in scripted utilities.
Activities
- 2021-10-06 12:00 AK DT -- changed liquids in the geonor. 8 liters 60/40 mix & 1 bottle baby oil
- Removed like 5.3 gallons
- (Which means that last year's mix amount for antifreeze was more than necessary). 5.3 gallons removed = Freezing point of bucket around -25C
- 8 liters mix = 72.7 cm liquid with freezing point @ -40
- Realistically we only need the 60/40 mix to go to -40 by around April 1 so 72.7cm is extreme overkill and maybe I'll reduce the volumes down the road.
- Re leveled stand, too.
- Removed like 5.3 gallons
- Plugged in tipping bucket heater
- Remove Forest Floor LI7200
- Swap Tower LI7200 (But need to update the calibration info still)
- Add an HDMI switch for monitor.
- Swap out top 3 anemometers & geonor
- Swap out net radiometers
- update SS Met program for new radiometers
- change snow transducers
- 2x Solar panels: 320 W / 33V / 9.61 A
