Combo with CPCRW trip maybe. In Fairbanks

  • Add 2 AT/RH to measurements and outputs.
  • Drill holes for ubolts

Fieldwork

  • Finish Anchors
  • Wire AT/RH
  • send new program to met logger

Computer work

  • change scp in camera scripts to rsync
    • rsync -avz -e "ssh -p 22 -i ~/.ssh/rsync-key" /local_image_dir/ pfss@main_server.iarc.uaf.edu:/remote_destination/
  • set computer up to restart nightly so this wireless disconnection stops being a bother.
    • 50 1 * * * /sbin/shutdown -r now
  • log temperatures and wireless signal strength, refresh brain on what I have set up up there

CPCRW Trip:

  • Download data from all four sites
  • bring out solder and soldering iron to patch up chopped up wires
  • electrical tape
  • net radiometers
  • anemometers

CPCRW At some point type Shopping List:

  • For better anchoring stations to prevent tippage:
    • Screw in Anchors (like dog run style)
    • 1 package of tiedowns
  • nu-rail fittings for WS?
  • ubolt deals for net radiometers?

The SFL station was completely knocked over. There was water in the box but everything was still running. I did my best to set everything back up again; it's heavy stuff! Nothing was chewed up though, it just looked like a conga line came through.

I thought I had fixed the wire between the solar panel and the box but apparently my fix didn't work. The battery isn't charging and starting to get dangerously low. I think the high leaf area is shading the solar panels because the SFH site is having issues with the battery charging up.

The temp/RH probes at SFL and NFL aren't working. I'm not sure if the ppt bucket at SFL is working; the wire got chewed at one point. The upper sites seem to be surviving.
