===Remaining To Do for fall===
* Use Aluminum tripod from Museum
+
* Bring out a charge controller for solar panel
* Need to replace some bolts... take care of this 8/3 (Aisle was closed at Home Depot)
+
* soil samples from soil pit
** See clipboard for info

* soil pit sensors are in a large actionpacker next to tower.
* Reuse the 10' x 1" pipe up top used the by the cameras for the net radiometer cross arm
 
** I think we'll need to have a vertical support partway out the pole to keep it all level.
 
** could use unistrut for all of this but will need to drill a hole in one of the unistruts because the holes don't entirely line up.
 
** ubolt horizontal unistrut to tower
 
** ubolt 1" pipe to  horizontal unistrut
 
** partway out horizontal pipe then add a vertical piece of unistrut. 
 
**
 
* Two batteries up top.  We'll need to helicopter these up.
 
* battery box for up top remains in 106 to carry sensors out in second shipment.
 
* Cross arms:
 
** Net radiometer
 
** additional one for AT/RH
 
** Need to figure out what to do up top for the anemometer...
 
*** 3/4"insert is up there but need to go 3/4" to 1" vertical...
 
* '''Complications'''
 
** crossarm ubolts from Campbell aren't big enough diameter to go around this pipe.

====Anchoring system====

===Sensors===
 
* 1 Soil pit
 
** Hydraprobes @ 5 depths
 
** soil thermal conductivity at 4 depths
 
** one additional surface temperature
 
* 1 GIPL VATP (I'm on the fence about the length for this one)
 
* Met
 
** HMP155 AT/RH @ 1.5m ''(already up top)''
 
*** Radiation shield too
 
** RM Young anemometer for up top
 
** If have enough, a skin temperature sensor (SI-111)
 
** CNR4 Net Radiometer ''(already up top)''
 
** TE525MM with cable.
 
*** Calibrated in the lab, read 52.4 mm when it should have read 60mm.  Therefore, in program, use multiplier 60/53*0.1 = 0.113 instead of 0.1
 
* Anything else?
 
 
 
===Extras===
 
* Need to measure resistance of heaters for all thermal conductivity sensors
 
* need to color code all subsurface sensors
 
* need to make sure extension cords are included for solar panel to charge controller
 
* same for battery to charge controller
 
* and again logger to charge controller
 
* also need fused power and spare fuses
 
* power jumper cables to put the two batteries in parallel
 
* Need to drill out hole in battery box for the liquid-tite.
 
* need to trim back the Vitel cable so that we can wire them up properly
 
* need to include terminal strips for power, ground, and control of Vitels.
 
* probably need to figure out if we need additional terminal strips for the thermal conductivity.
 
 
 
 
 
===To Buy up top:===
 
* 1" unistrut pipe clamp for net radiometer
 
** may have this in our unistrut stock.
 
* Anchoring system supplies
 
* review photos for nome storage stock.
