Jessie Cherry May 2013 Toolik Trip

Overview

The met station at Toolik needs to be transferred from its tripod to a tower. The field requirements for this assignment will be outlined here.

Any other information not here but could be anticipated as being useful?

Cabling to extend thermocouple temperature profile from old enclosure to new enclosure.
shovels for digging out buried cabling
extension cord for moving power from old tripod to new tower
cable splicing tools for anything that might need extending
- soldering iron
- butane
- propane torch
- solder
- heat shrink
extra cabling
Toolbags
Extra data logger (CR1000, for any instruments that aren't transferred to the new logger on this trip and or don't reach... completely just a back up item)
small actionpacker
sled
Climbing harness
CGR4 Radiometer
- Also bring Precision Resistor for measuring CGR4 Thermistor
- Also need to update program with calibration constants for this sensor.

New tower w/ enclosure & guy wires
Garden web cam
Pluvio 1 (Currently installed but broken)
Met Station w/ soil thermocouples, radiation, lake sensors on rusted tripod
New Multiplexer
Pluvio 2 (needs to be installed but is in the environmental data center)... has a different base than the existing one.
Pluvio 2 base is inside the wyoming gauge snow fence sitting on the ground

Mount recalibrated AT/RH sensors
Move power to the new enclosure
Transfer as much equipment as possible to new tower
Leave what can't be moved at the old site
Install Pluvio 2
- note, pluvio 1 wire is a bit short. but should be okay with pluvio 2
Get evaporation pan working
Install new radiometer
Tighten guy wires and level tower

Pluvio 1 and Pluvio 2 use different base stands. Make sure to include the Pluvio 2 mounting hardware!
Evaporation pan may not be in the budget this year if the gauging unit (Campbell 21531) needs to be replaced.
Conduit isn't an immediate priority since this depends on the final setup.
