| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | Itkillik River:
| |
| − | I have a case w/ 3 HOBO PTs for the Itkillik River for upstream and
| |
| − | downstream slope. Two of them are set to record 15 minute intervals
| |
| − | starting 5/13/11 at 5:00pm. One is a spare and has not been launched,
| |
| − | and can be used if all else fails. There is also the correct
| |
| − | launch/reader in the case this time.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You will also have to install 2 SDI12 PTs because the current ones are
| |
| − | locked in ice. 1 should be 15psig (older unit) and 1 should be a new
| |
| − | 5 psig sensor.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You will also have to replace the station barometric pressure ASAP
| |
| − | when you get to the site, because I couldn't make anything of the old
| |
| − | data, it seems to be bad. Barometric pressure is needed for
| |
| − | correction with the HOBO sensors.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please download camera images and any historic camera images saved to
| |
| − | the camera.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Other station maintenance includes:
| |
| − | Upper May Creek: Tipping bucket / windshield repair, download camera images
| |
| − | Itikmalakpak: Tipping bucket / windshield repair, download camera images
| |
| − | | |
| − | And as always, if the fence needs repair, please try and fix it up.
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | ====Email 2: to do: PTs 5/9/2011 @ 5:05 PM====
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | Gather 2 PTs from downstairs in 106 to go to Itkillik River. Get 2
| |
| − | with the shortest cable lengths because the station is close to the
| |
| − | river and so we shouldn't need the 250 ft cable length (unless that is
| |
| − | all that is available than that is all we have). Ask Rob which one
| |
| − | you can take and then obtain the calibration information from Rob for
| |
| − | that particular serial number. Make sure they are labeled at the
| |
| − | wiring end and have a dessicant pack. Make sure you obtain a
| |
| − | working sensor because apparently 1-2 were not working.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Then, in my office there is a box from instruments northwest, Inc.
| |
| − | Open the box. Put a label on at the wiring end that says the Serial
| |
| − | Number, 5 PSIG (verify from calibration sheet), the cable length (all
| |
| − | should be 250 ft), and the SDI12 Address which is located on the
| |
| − | calibration sheet. Include one of the new 5 PSIG in the Itkillik
| |
| − | River package.
| |
| | | | |
| − | We will have 3 PTs for the Itkillik River, 1 5-PSIG, 1 15-PSIG, and 1
| |
| − | 15 PSIG backup.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Then we will have to make sure all the PTs have conduit for
| |
| − | protection, so if the old ones don't come see me. We will have grab
| |
| − | some conduit / pipe / reducers etc. for the new 5 psi PT.

| − | You can pick up your optical level, survey rod, and tripod from
| |

| − | ====Emily 4: Leaving for Toolik May 7, 2011 at 12:24 PM====
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | I agree w/ Bill that the Toolik group could use an extra day or so for
| |
| − | field prep in Fairbanks. However, if you do get there ahead of
| |
| − | breakup you could get the station repairs (closest to Toolik) finished
| |
| − | early (instead of at the end). There are a few things that must get
| |
| − | done on this trip, about 3 stations close to Toolik (via helicopter)
| |
| − | need some repairs that could take about a day or two of work. So
| |
| − | far the temps have been cool right now, but some stations to the south
| |
| − | are warming up to about freezing (temps don't stay above freezing at
| |
| − | night though). You can look at the station data here & webcams:
| |
| − | http://ine.uaf.edu/werc/projects/umiat_corridor/stations.html I
| |
| − | think Upper May Creek is our furthest south station and will tell you
| |
| − | what the air temperatures are like in the upper Itkillik basin. It
| |
| − | would be great if Bob B. sets up the monitoring webpage so we can look
| |
| − | at AT and Windspeed and camera images again.

| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | A few of you asked about ice descriptions in a meeting awhile back.

| |

| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Emily, I am working on the report and will finish it today. I'll be
| |
| − | back on Friday. One thing we definitely need to do this breakup is to
| |
| − | take pictures at the proposed bridge crossings. The strategy would be
| |
| − | to take pictures both upstream and downstream each day, hopefully from
| |
| − | approximately from the same position (horizontally and vertically).
| |
| − | Maybe a couple from same horizontal position, but at different
| |
| − | elevations. Doug
