      • soil pit
      • 1.5m soil temps?
      • snow
      • radiation
      • probably split off surface water sensors onto a different logger (maybe the cr800 up top or else a new one)
      • airtemp & Precip
      • 3m anemometer
      • use self tapping screw to keep animals from removing precip bucket lid.
    • Upper station
      • soil pit in the low area
      • new solar panel
      • real batteries in a battery box
      • super animal protection.
  • @ Kougraok M64
    • if we get permission then site at the top perhaps?
