Council
Council C1 Grid
- Would be great to visit C1 site and download data
- Redrill hole for C1 Grid temperature probe
Skookum Pass
- I'd like to visit site and swap out data logger so that we can retrieve data from Nome again. currently have to use a computer in Fairbanks. Also need to change program to add radio on/off sophistication as the icing the last two winters has been keeping solar panel inaccessible until April (with respect to battery charging)
Kougarok
Kougarok Mile 64
- don't really need snow depth here it would seem but just double check all measurements and relevel radiometer / precip
- any surveying to be done before next spring?
Kougarok 10m tower

- Mandatory download data though even if by radio
- level radiometers
- replace radiometer desiccant
Kougarok Mauze gulch
- Minimum would be download data by radio
Kougarok Burn Site
