OK. Horacio and I think if you want to measure the Anaktuvuk tomorrow
afternoon that would be fantastic & very helpful. Hope you are not
joking. Attached is a map and diagram of what we did today, it might
help you find a route through the mess. It is SUPER braided
everywhere and there is flow through the floodplain (over bank full)
as of today. Kind of tricky. We just did LONG downstream diagaonal
slow drifting transect, except in the super fast parts we had to use
the motor and then had some cavitation at the sensor, but it wasn't
too bad. We have a permanent GPS base station set up at the river if
you want to tie into that for RTK. Ken will have to clue you in on
the radio address.
The boat is ready to go and there are life jackets in the culvert but
we have the rover GPS set up and the antennae and GPS poles for
mounting.
We only have 1 tape down spot left located just to the north of the
ISCO sampler (TP4) w/ yellow flagging if you can get a tapedown during
the measuremnt. Beware of that area because there is alot of rebar
there and then there is a steep drop off where the main cutbank is (it
is submerged) There is a higher terrace also, but don't get close to
that in the vicinity of the station or you will puncture your boat! on
all the junk above the lower terrace.
Email us in the a.m. if you think you are going to do it and let us
know if you want us to call you. You have our sat phone numbers also,
but we usually don't have them close to us. We'll be at the Chandler,
either at the culverts or at the lower station (located 0.5 miles
downstream across from "Ice Jam Island") most of the day. At the
lower station we have to do some repairs and surveying, the tape down
area got trashed by the jam and there is a 25 foot ice pan right at
our PT area. I think Horacio will get over to the Anaktuuvk to survey
and do water levels later in the day.
Yes there is stuff to hose clamp onto (GPS over the ADCP on the ADCP pipe, but you'll need a small pole, and another pipe to clamp the antennae to (separate from the GPS pole).
You would need everything except a base station, which we have up and running, Ken can send you the info.
You'll need to bring your adcp, battery, and rover GPS setup (w/
antennae and a GPS pole) in the boat. I don't think we have a
battery out there, but maybe we can drop one off because Horacio needs
to swing by and pick up the suspended sediment profiler thing there in
the a.m., so maybe he can drop a battery there.
No GPS scripts changed. THe only think we did was change some settings
on the radios, which Ken will clue you in on.
You might want to bring your rio grande with the 1 1/2 " flange and
top plate already attached. I leave it on all the time and just pop
off the set screws and take the whole ADCP + flange + plate with me.
There is an allen wrench attached the frame, but you might want a
spare. THere are some hose clamps for set up but you might want a nut
driver. Range finder, GPS/radio, etc. There is a big rope that looks
like a boa constrictor in the culvert if you need it.
There is less than half a tank of gas (according to Rob). We have
gone out for 2 days and today we were out there alot w/ the sediment
work so you should be okay, but maybe we can bring a can out for you
if Horacio goes out there to get the sediment profiler thing.
