site logs

Sept 5, 2008, Emily & Ken

• tightened guy wires, radiation/SR50 pole was very crooked
• Old SR50 S/n C4798 and distance to ground was variable (125 cm - 149 cm) due to uneven ground
• Installed a new SR50 and moved it 1 foot to the north where the ground was more level
• New SR50 S/N C4789, calibrated by R. Gieck 9/5/08
• Reloaded new program onto datalogger (failure during transmission via radios)
• Added bark chips under SR50 and trimmed vegetation
• New SR50 distance from sensor to ground is 134.5 average and I put it into the program.
• Program now reads 1.13 cm of snow, an improvement from the previous reading.
• rain gage was leveled, it was very unlevel.

Future tasks:

• bring out one more fence post
• site needs shielding and conduit
