To Do:

• Change out snow transducers, 8 pieces

• change out desiccant in the D site radiometer
• level radiometers
• Fix C site Rim Snow Sensor
• D Thermal Conductivity
  • Program works fine in Fairbanks
  • OKAY... Look at how it is wired in the field. / in pictures. I think there are two pulse port instructions when there should be just one.

To Bring:
