Fairbanks To Do
- Dry desiccant for CNR4 (All four in Utqiagvik)
- Dry Desiccant for Teller SW (I have a bottle for loose out there now plus the PT tubes
- Hardware inventory for Snow deployment
- figure out the proper way to secure solar panels for snow
- think hard about improving solar panel setup at Teller m47.
Teller Bottom To Do
- Secure tipping bucket
- bring out drill
- bring out self tapping screws, 3x
Teller SW To Do
- Solar Panel Fixes (research in Fairbanks)
- Deploy second PT
- don't forget to grab more desiccant
- Add a snow sensor here?
NGEE Kougarok
Replace top mast and anemometer
- Full replacement anemometer
- potentially could reuse one from storage but will need:
- propeller (need to order)
- cable (fairbanks supplies)
- right size cord grip (I'm sure this is found in my Fairbanks supplies... or the one that's currently broken... )
- unistrut & 1" pipe & ubolts (try the square ones?)
- nylock nuts
- potentially could reuse one from storage but will need:
- new brown tarp
- Raspberry pi to download?
- memory card...
- put soil moisture probe back in ground.
- I guess remove VATP from program to make the data record last longer.
K1 Burn
- Should visit since I haven't heard from it.
- change out the SR50A transducer
- bring a thermistor for air temp (assuming there will be some damages)
- I guess, given that it isn't on the radio network any more I should expect something worse.
- power cable to fix a chewed solar panel
- coax in case that was chewed
K2 Met
- Station visit required
- Bring out desiccant for radiometers (loose)
- replace CR10X but change the watch battery on the logger to take out first.
K3 Mauze Gulch
- No idea... need to review how I left things in 2019.
Things to Order
Related: Need to separate out by project ID
- Campbell Scientific
- RM Young anemometer propellers ( $70 at RM Young website) https://www.youngusa.com ; p/n 08214-45)
- Texas Electronics Tipping Bucket
- cobble from parts?
- SR50A transducers
- new deployment
- existing @ Utqiagvik = 8 = 2A + 2B + 3C + 1D
- existing @ SP = 10 = 4 (K1 to K3 + ngee m64) + 1 m47 + 4 m27 + 1 council?
- 2.5 psi for Teller SW
Older:
To Buy
- Step ladder for teller bottom
- Bring out a replacement memory card for the Teller Bottom CFM module
General
- 2 Trimble Yellow batteries left in NW Campus Warm Storage
Seward Peninsula
- SR50A transducer replacement (fall activity)
- (2019) bring out one step stool to level teller bottom radiometer.
- (2019) bring out tap, die, drill, drill bit, screw for teller bottom radiometer.
- screw...
- also replace cnr4 desiccant since the unit didn't look like it was sealing right with this missing screw.
- Bring out additional desiccant? for box
- Teller SW desiccant replacement
- (2019) Redrill hole for C1 Grid temperature probe
- what is needed for this?
- Measure Creek Flow
- salt slug, n=2 samples of 50g / known volume of water
- Re-level radiometers
- polish radiometer domes
- Measure thermistors resistances at Teller Bottom and add them to fieldbook.
- There are a couple with a 0.5C offset at spring freezing point so I think they may be failing and or something...
- Related: I'm wondering if the delay between measurements should be increased for the thermistor measurements.
- Also related: perhaps add a second string up at teller top?
- sort of some additional homework is that I saw instability in a number of thermistors when measuring up top. I suspect but haven't verified that this instability is an indicator for the wonky temperatures seen in the data but need to confirm.
- 6/11/2018 In Fairbanks... down in 106 / the basement there is a box of 12" nails. Would be good to grab three for the Teller SW solar panel tripod
- I should do some experiments with the thermal conductivity thermistors in office/lab to see if I can reduce the noisiness.
- finish surveying vegetation plots
Kougarok
- bring out a serial cable for box (removed it in fall 2018)
- get a compass reading on anemometer
- leave a compass in the box
Teller SW Flow
- left a metal meter stick at the site
- fieldbook
- YSI conductivity meter
- manual
- electrical tape
- batteries
Radiation Level:
- step ladder
- a bit of wood to provide better base for step ladder
- phillips screwdriver for level
Radiation Desiccant Swap:
- Step ladder
- small CSI phillips
- K&Z desiccant pack
- anti-corrosion goo
Teller Top Soil Temperatures
- Volt meter
- fieldbook
- learned but need to confirm that the thermistors with a capacitance are ones that are unstable and failing.
Utqiagvik
- Intensive Site A HMP155 failed (3.5m)
- Intensive Site B HMP155 failed (1.4m)
- Intensive Site C HMP155 failed
- need to replace the network cable running from the computer to the network switch. It cuts out with minimal bumping.... but station is finally back online!!!
- Site A SR50A transducers have failed
- some subsurface items are beginning to fail.
- bring up clear tape and a biz card to label the computer
- bring up the nuc plate and wood screws and other screw packet to mount nuc to wall
