== Field Notes ==
 +
* Bring additional fenceposts/e-fence wire/hardware
 +
* Bring SR50 transducer for replacements (change out at all stations on Coastal Plain)
 +
* Remove Bullen/Foothills net rad sensors for recalibration (every two years)
 +
* Bring spare rain grates (US and metric).  Check all rain gauges and record in notes whether US or metric gauge.
 +
* Bring a bunch of black campbell SC12 2 peripheral cables (or whatever they are) to leave at new stations/repeaters, they were missing at Itikmalakpak & May Creek.
 +
* Secure Gieck Base to ground with deep rebar in non-rocky areas. (this may or may not have been done at some stations already)
 +
* Apparently some of the tilt down tripods were installed so that they could not be tilted down due to the solar panel being in the way.  If time permits, this could be fixed, we use this feature often.
 +
* Note that the program file names are TOO LONG making it impossible to figure out which program is running and impossible to select the correct program to edit.  Ken please fix this and the other problems in the programs so we can reload via radio them right before the fall trip (and notice if there are other problems, then at least we can fix during the site visit).
 +
* Bark chips should be added where needed.  We should have some up at Toolik but I didn't notice them on the last trip (but I wasn't looking).
 +
* Load updated firmware to datalogger (v. 17)

Latest revision as of 09:49, 1 September 2009

This is a to do list detailing work to be done on the Sept 2-13 field trip. Stream Team (Ken, Emily, Horacio/Bill, Jeff Derry, Bill Lee ) Sept 2-8 or so working out of Prudhoe first, then moving to Toolik. Met Team (Mike L., Jeff D., 3rd person) Sept 9-13 or so working out of Toolik.

Reminders

  • Remember to make reservations at Toolik (& bring your own sleeping bag/sheets/blankets/pillow).
  • Remember to get rooms in Deadhorse.

Field Notes

  • Bring additional fenceposts/e-fence wire/hardware
  • Bring SR50 transducer for replacements (change out at all stations on Coastal Plain)
  • Remove Bullen/Foothills net rad sensors for recalibration (every two years)
  • Bring spare rain grates (US and metric). Check all rain gauges and record in notes whether US or metric gauge.
  • Bring a bunch of black campbell SC12 2 peripheral cables (or whatever they are) to leave at new stations/repeaters, they were missing at Itikmalakpak & May Creek.
  • Secure Gieck Base to ground with deep rebar in non-rocky areas. (this may or may not have been done at some stations already)
  • Apparently some of the tilt down tripods were installed so that they could not be tilted down due to the solar panel being in the way. If time permits, this could be fixed, we use this feature often.
  • Note that the program file names are TOO LONG making it impossible to figure out which program is running and impossible to select the correct program to edit. Ken please fix this and the other problems in the programs so we can reload via radio them right before the fall trip (and notice if there are other problems, then at least we can fix during the site visit).
  • Bark chips should be added where needed. We should have some up at Toolik but I didn't notice them on the last trip (but I wasn't looking).
  • Load updated firmware to datalogger (v. 17)
