June 2013 Trip

Shipping

  • New Instrumentation once it arrives on 5/26ish:
    • Precip Buckets 3x
    • Wind Screen 3x
    • HMP155s 6x
    • MetOne 5x
    • Barometric Pressure
    • Radiation Shields
    • Cross Arms
      • 1.5" Sched 40 Aluminum = Net Radiometer 3x
      • 1" Sched 40 Aluminum = Upper WS & AT/RH 3x
    • Tripod Mast
      • 1.5" Sched 40 Galvanized Pipe
    • Net Radiometer
    • NuRail Fittings for crossarms

To Add to each site

  • 2 HMP155s w/ Radiation Shields

    • Reprogram the IDs for the SR50As
      • #1 = ID7
      • #2 = ID8
      • #3 = ID9
  • Also Measure Thermal Conductivity Heater Values
  • Bring up 3 resistors for CNR4 Thermistor measurement


To Do as of 6/8/2013

  • Copy B program additions to A & C


Remaining things to grab

  • XXX Nu Rail oddball connectors from cabinet
  • BP tubing for grid site
  • Cord Grips for grid site
  • silicone for grid site


To Purchase

  • More Flexible Conduit
  • Vent Tube

Pre-trip to do

  • Organized per site items (X means it's packed / shipped)
    • Precip Stand (3 sets)
      • XX 4 NuRail 3/4 offset cross pieces
      • XX 1 Novalynx Wind Screen

Food to bring out

  • Optional


Rough on-site todo (for each site)

  1. Measure from top of tripod base to cross arm... note in fieldbook
  2. Remove box & solar panel from tripod mast
  3. Remove existing crossarm off tripod
  4. unscrew center pole
  5. put 1.5" offset nurail fitting on new center pole
  6. add top of tower cross arm with anemometer & HMP155
    1. Armor and secure these two cables
  7. screw on the new center pole
  8. put the existing cross arm, instrument box, and solar panel back on the tower.
  9. Mount all new sensors
    1. On lowest crossarm, 1-1.5m above ground surface
      1. Net Radiometer
      2. Cross Arm bracket
        1. Wind Speed
      3. HMP155 on radiometer crossarm
    2. Armor all the cabling lower cabling
    3. Armor and install the precip bucket.
    4. Install the precip wind screen
  10. send new program to data logger

Idealized Rough Itinerary (with dates to float depending on how long things take)

I budgeted 2 days per site but I'm hoping 1 to 1.5 days is more realistic.
