Latest revision as of 09:20, 4 September 2021

Pretrip activities

  • Test out a bit more the thermistor version thermal conductivity probes.
  • Look for more CF cards to leave at NGEE Koug and Teller Bottom.

To Ship

  • XX Actionpackers with equipment
  • XX the snow stand supplies
  • A bit more.

Day 1

  • Fly to Nome
  • Get gear from container
  • XX start batteries charging
  • if time run out to Teller and set up GPS to log at GCP / install new PT for Teller SW / Make a discharge measurement
  • Would be nice to grab the CR6 (& enclosure) from conex and use it in a place with wifi to get CR6 driver installed.

Day x

  • Teller m47 CAS
  • Download Data
  • setup new tiny station
    • precip bucket stand
      • 3x pieces of pipe
      • 2x screed stake
      • 1x three way deal
      • 2x hose clamps
    • hang Airtemp
    • mount tiny solar panel
    • extra battery
    • charge controller
    • radiation shield for new air temp

Day X

  • Visit Teller Basin
    • Download data
    • check level of radiometer & precip buckets
    • change out transducers on snow sensors

Teller CAS Bonus

  • CR800 Logger
  • Tipping bucket
    • stand for it
      • 2pcs 4' 3/4" pipe
      • 1 pcs 2' 3/4" pipe
      • 2 pcs cross mounts
      • 2 pcs hose clamps (I have the length in the wiki someplace I believe)
      • 3 screed stakes
  • Air Temperature
    • need to make
  • Radiation Shield
  • Instrument Box
  • Battery
  • Solar Panel
  • battery box
  • 12v battery leads
  • charge controller

To fix out there

  • New dry pit using other station's hardware?
  • Do something different with their solar panel?
