Sep field work 2012

  • Proposed dates: Arrival evening Sunday Sep 23, departure Friday evening Sep 30th.
  • Arrive on the evening on Monday Sep 24.
  • People: Bob B, Anna L, Sasha K


Itinerary

Tasks

  • download and maintain Campbell logger
    • change program to make it table data compatible
    • load new OS
    • set pakbus ID to 404
  • Installation of additional CSI snow depth (4)
    • need to add an extra sensor to one of the sites
    • I have the sensors, A & S have the rest of the parts
  • move webcam 90 degrees:
    • short unistrut pieces (need to cut from stock in prep room)
    • four bolts
    • two angle pieces (four hole)
    • four strut nuts
    • sawzall packed
    • climbing harness
  • set up base radio & usb to serial
    • bring a few components from Fairbanks

Oh, I was thinking for the base radio to bring the sawzall, cut the rusted ubolts on the tower and then hose clamp a new pipe in place for the base antenna

From my field book:

  • Seal 3" Pipes
  • serial cable to C (bring from FAI)
  • null modem to A (at the control shed)
  • animal proof A
  • tarps to B & C
  • NRS to C
  • mount antenna and set up rad network
  • TC probes @ C need extending
  • Need to get #5 thermal conductivity S/N at C (maybe hold off till I wire them in?)
  • Need to look at what a good value for heat flux looks like prior to the trip


Potential Extra Items

  • Install power from Control Shed to site C (I am not sure the power is available to us??)
  • Install wireless communication to grid site (requires power)
