site logs

8 June 2007, Ken I., Dan R.

• found rain gauge collector/funnel blown off to west, about 25m away in rocks
  • cut slot in rim of collector, used hose clamps to secure to guage

• installed electric fence with 4 posts, fence charger/controller (fencer) on a 5th post

• installed aluminum back plates on solar panel to protect wires

• tripod & radiation pole all firm & true. Alter shield still well set, still a bit skewed.

• the site does have a barometer installed

• radiation sensor bubble level is true. 56 inches from sensor (center) to mean ground

• snow depth sensor 80 inches to ground, measured from grid of sensor

• all sensors look good

• instrument shelter is dry inside

• recommend white box to contain loose/extra wire from HMP, RM Young, and antenna cable. (White in order to minimize heating & effect on AT sensors.)

• 3 soil moisture sensors in flex conduit coiled, sitting beneath solar panel
  • REMOVED TO Toolik -- NOT AT SITE!!
