DUM7 Hat Box Mesa

• Put Conduit over Soil thermistor cable

DFM2 White Hills Met

• Needs major  sensor repairs. Most of the sensors are bad.
• Would be good to get rainfall and air temperature but I propose probably not fixing the following broken sensors: 
  • needs a new anemometer (bad bearings),
  • has a bad SR50 snow depth sensor old style
  • Needs an HMP Air temp sensor or a new backup sensor

DFM4 Northwest Kuparuk Met

• Check radiation shields, are sensors in the shield? 
• Replace SR50 old style. 
• Fence was in very poor shape on last trip to station.

Surface Water Stations

Lower Itkillik Station
