To Do:
- Change out snow transducers, 8 pieces
- swap back the B site net radiometer
- change out desiccant in the D site radiometer
- level radiometers
- Fix C site Rim Snow Sensor
- D Thermal Conductivity
- Program works fine in Fairbanks
- OKAY... Look at how it is wired in the field. / in pictures. I think there are two pulse port instructions when there should be just one.
To Bring:
- CNR4 Net Radiometers
- One for B (the original)
- retap the D screws and if I can't get that to work then move the alternate radiometer from inventory (B) to D.
