  • change transducers for snow depth sensors
  • relevel radiometer

Council

  • If time allows Amy Breen has some plots that need surveying and thaw depths
Council C1 Grid
  • Would be great to visit C1 site and download data
  • Redrill hole for C1 Grid temperature probe
  • sr50a swap out?
  • relevel precip bucket
Skookum Pass
  • swap out data logger
  • change program to add radio on/off

Kougarok Mile 64
  • Download Data
  • don't really need snow depth here it would seem but just double check all measurements and relevel radiometer / precip
  • Amy Breen has a number of points to be surveyed here. She'd like thaw depths for all we're able to visit.


Kougarok 10m tower
  • A station visit to would be awesome even for just 2 hours to double-check site in anticipation of it being used for the disturbance study.
  • Mandatory download data though even if by radio
    • If we visit I'll put a storage module back at the site so it's less pressing.
  • level precip bucket
  • level radiometers
  • replace radiometer desiccant
