2021 NGEE Nome June Trip

Rough plan

• Join ORNL / Sigrid team partway through

Stuff to Pre-Ship

• Any gear
• Personal Gear

Broken Things to Look at

Teller m47

• Grab from UAF storage the two spare AT/RH to swap in.

Teller SW

This site is about 10 minutes off the road next to the Teller Bottom Site. Rubber Boots would be good for the hike. Hiking boots are fine, too. The wet spots mostly can be avoided with a bit of extra walking.

• Need a battery, solar panel, and CR800 w/ program to replace animal damaged hardware.
  • worst case could grab a battery from teller bottom...
• Make a discharge measurement & manually measure stage

Teller Bottom

• Heat Flux Plate... Loose Wires?
• Measure how far VATP is sticking out of the ground
• Grab the missing gap of data off logger.

Teller Top

• HMP155 needs replacing
• Program Changes:
  • log resistance of thermal conductivity probes instead of temperature.
  • Maybe change the file saving from filling the memory as is done at present.
• Measure how far VATP is sticking out of the ground

Kougarok m64

• LOTS of broken

Kougarok 10m tower

• Download Data over radio

Kougarok Burn Site

• Download Data over radio

Stretch Goals

If timing works out:

Check out Radio base station at NW Campus

• Same building as NGEE warm storage (I believe). base is in an IT closet.
• Computer went offline in March and I might just replace it.

Drive up and check on first radio repeater atop Anvil Mountain

• 10-15 minute drive, 2 minute walk to a site on top of Anvil Mountain. Radio still works but radio to logger dongle died over winter.
