Overview

The met station at Toolik needs to be transferred from its tripod to a tower. The field requirements for this assignment will be outlined here.

To Bring from Fairbanks

  • Cabling to extend thermocouple temperature profile from old enclosure to new enclosure.
  • shovels for digging out buried cabling
  • extension cord
  • cable splicing tools
    • soldering iron
    • butane
    • propane torch
    • solder
    • heat shrink
  • extra cabling
  • Toolbags
  • Extra data logger (CR1000, for any instruments that aren't transferred to the new logger on this trip and or don't reach... completely just a back up item)
  • small actionpacker
  • sled
  • Climbing harness

Current Equipment On-Site

  • New tower w/ enclosure & guy wires
  • Garden web cam
  • Pluvio 1 (Currently installed but broken)
  • Met Station w/ soil thermocouples, radiation, lake sensors on rusted tripod
  • New Multiplexer
  • Pluvio 2 (needs to be installed but is in the environmental data center)... has a different base than the existing one.
  • Pluvio 2 base is inside the wyoming gauge snow fence sitting on the ground

Goals

  • Mount recalibrated AT/RH sensors
  • Move power to the new enclosure
  • Transfer as much equipment as possible to new tower
  • Leave what can't be moved at the old site
  • Install Pluvio 2
    • note, pluvio 1 wire is a bit short. but should be okay with pluvio 2
  • Get evaporation pan working
  • Install new radiometer
  • Tighten guy wires and level tower

Needs

  • TFS Site Wiring / cable lengths
  • List cable types needed ?
  • List muxes needed ?

List equipment/tools need to bring

  • Conduit
  • New Program (Bob Bu has draft)
  • Troubleshoot Evaporation Pan
  • Figure out what needs calibration

Updates

  • Pluvio 1 and Pluvio 2 use different base stands. Make sure to include the Pluvio 2 mounting hardware!
  • Evaporation pan may not be in the budget this year if the gauging unit (Campbell 21531) needs to be replaced.
  • Conduit isn't an immediate priority since this depends on the final setup.
