Contents
Station Work:
- @ Site A: Replace Snow #1 (ID 7)
- @ Site A: Look at Heat Flux Pit #2... it is reading 0mV, may have broken in the ground)
- @ Site B: Look at Heat Flux Pit #1 & #2... both reading 0mV)
- At each site:
- Level Radiometer (phillips screwdriver needed)
- Replace Desiccant in radiometer (phillips screwdriver needed, anti-corrosion grease)
- add Desiccant to instrument box
- clear snow from precip gage & level (torpedo level, snow shovel, 5/16" nut driver needed)
- if time allows change out dreamplug
Rough Schdeule:
- fly up the 11th, arrive in the evening
- morning of the 12th, one person puts the base together at NARL
- grab some flex conduit for cable protection at base of tower (camera cable, radiometer cable)
- in barrow grab a piece of trail mat to put under the tower
- two people head out to BEO to site tower, identify tower location (using gps setup / tablet & power cable)
- shovel snow at tower base & guy wire anchors
- use gps to site tower and guy points (so as to miss frozen LCP etc)
- third person brings tower and anchor to cake eater pull off
- afternoon of the 12th / the 13th: tower is raised
- once we see how easy it is to lift we'll know how many people it takes to lift and drop
- once tower is up Lily can visit the stations as time allows
- change out snow sensor @ A
- desiccant change out for radiometers
- re-level radiometers
- check level of precip buckets
- look at those heat flux plates (see if a wire has come loose)
To Do Yet:
- load high res imagery onto GPS so we can hit our points in the field
- configure radio
- change logger ID to 406
- drill enclosure for liquid-tite & (1/2" flex?)
- track down fish tape
- think about getter securing the camera (like straps?
- cut guy wires
- pack personal gear
- packet of spare nuts & washers
- ubolts for radiometer mount
- bring drill in for final holes
- clean up program
- bring dreamplug
- bring tools
- grab hack saw to cut strobe liquid-tite to size
- export ground control points
