To Do:

  • Change out snow transducers, 8 pieces
  • swap back the B site net radiometer
  • change out desiccant in the D site radiometer
  • level radiometers
  • Fix C site Rim Snow Sensor
  • D Thermal Conductivity
    • Program works fine in Fairbanks
    • OKAY... Look at how it is wired in the field. / in pictures. I think there are two pulse port instructions when there should be just one.

To Bring:

  • CNR4 Net Radiometers
    • One for B (the original)
    • retap the D screws and if I can't get that to work then move the alternate radiometer from inventory (B) to D.
