Tape Color is BLUE

To Bring:

  • Put the 3m tripod built from tripod kit here. (The heaviest steel tripod, blue tape on it)
  • vertical mast will be 10 foot 1.5" schedule 40 pipe with 1.5 to 1" coupler on top.
  • primary instrument box will be mounted at about 1 meter above the ground surface
  • secondary instrument box will be mounted below it.
  • solar panel will be mounted above primary instrument box and face south.
  • cross arm
  • Battery box in basement needs holes cut for 1/2" liquid-tite (ship battery box filled with instruments
  • Instrument box with 1 CR1000 and AM416 is on site in the shrubs with
  • Bring a second instrument box with 1 AM16/32 for met instruments.

Outstanding Tripod items

  • Cross arm support brackets and such
  • mount am16/32 to second instrument box
  • send instruments & battery box on second freight run
  • Stabilizer for net radiometer support arm.
    • used cross arm brackets last time... need to dig them out and make sure we have enough.
    • also could use ubolts and unistrut.

Cross Arms

  • Net Radiometer skin temperature
    • need to track down unistrut & strut clamps for stabilization (or ubolts)
  • small cross arm for air temperature
  • RM Young should mount to top without issue.
  • Precip stand is already out there
  • Need to figure out where NDVI sensors point. & do we have all supplies for that...


Sensors

To Bring:

  • 015103 WS/WD
    • Make up cable for it
  • CR200 for measuring Pressure Transducers
  • 5 pcs VITEL Hydraprobe II
    • Need to set IDs
  • 4 pcs East30 sensors thermal conductivity or specific heat
    • also interface board
    • also measure the heater resistance of each
  • Cable protection
  • cable ties & hose clamps for securing cabling to tripod
  • VATP 1504 - see email for thermistor calibration offsets

Sensor Heights

  • Anemometer @ top of tripod / ~3 meters
  • HMP155 @ 1.5m above ground surface
  • Barometric Pressure - in instrument box
  • Net Radiation -
  • Snow Temperature profile -- ground surface in the shrubs
  • Snow Depth 1 -- 2m on cross arm off station
  • Snow Depth 2 -- in shrubs on a stand.


Already at site:

  • HMP155
    • thinking about bringing out a replacement temperature head though because the one in place has been on the fritz over the summer.
  • TE525MM
  • CNR4 w/bracket
  • Two Batteries
  • Solar Panel
  • Charge Controller



Extras

  • need to yet sort out how Met AM16/32 will attach
  • need to drill out second instrument box so that cables can enter.
  • Need to permanentify the solar panel
    • bring solar panel from Fairbanks and but need to make a mount for it yet.
  • Measure East30 sensor resistance
  • label all subsurface sensors
  • Need to survey in all instruments with GPS
  • Reuse batteries that are already out here, no new batteries needed.
  • think about how to mount iridium here...

To Ship:

  • Tripod


Installation Guidance:

  • Unpack Tripod
  • Mast
