Council

• Survey Sigrid / Margaret's sites

NGEE Kougarok

• Survey GCP

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
• new brown tarp
• bring out replacement card... could send new program that doesn't save out the soils data any more to increase storage...
• put soil moisture probe back in ground.
• I guess remove VATP from program to make the data record last longer.
• @Conex
  • Ladder (for anemometer fix)
• @Tools Required
  • 1/2" box wrench / nut driver
  • 5/16" nut driver
