Revision as of 10:11, 11 July 2016

First Trip To Do:

  • @ Teller
    • Lily / Bill -- initialize & install surface water probes (Hobo)
      • Mark each with colored tape
      • set measurement interval to once per 15 minutes
      • will be co-located with LANL Isco Samplers (requiring coordination with Brent / Cathy )
    • Bob Bolton -- measure discharge @ bridge
      • I was measuring on the upstream side of the bridge with the measuring tape strung from one side to the other.
      • note water level above screed stakes in channel:
        • furthest into the channel on the right bank side, upstream 1-1.5m is #1
        • If they are exposed (likely) then measure stage above PT as well as stage immediately up stream of the screed stake.
    • Lily / Bill -- download data from:
      • Radiation site at top of drainage
      • snow temperature site at basin surface water gaging site (& you can turn off the system / disconnect the battery)
      • surface water station
  • @ Kougarok
    • if time allows, download data over radio network from Quartz Creek Air field
      • Flag 1 leave radios on full time
      • K1, K2, K3 to retrieve from.
