  • E-fence not working, rewired e-fence and is now working

17 May 2008, Bob and Jeff

Note by EKY, Bob and Jeff visited this site and found extensive bear damage. Data from 4/29 through 5/17 is bad. They were able to hook up the anemometer but we need a new cable. Soil sensors have been ripped out of ground.

(entered by E. Youcha from Rob's field book)

  • looks like they took off the SR50 with SN C4801 and put on SR50 with SN 4802
  • took distance measurements with circle (cone) method, 2 ft out from sensor: N=117.7 cm, E=119, W=115, S=119.4
  • I think the HMP45C was replaced (old SN B0110036 - new SN C11430045)
  • fence looked in place

  • electric fence working; taped yellow tags near posts
  • fence could use two more posts in middle of long runs
  • tightened both wires on NE fence run
  • rain gauge funnel not secured
  • tripod looks good; guys are a little slack
  • site could use flex conduit on tripod wires
  • radiation pole is plumb; cables a bit slack
  • need turnbuckle on N guy (now secured with nylon cord)
  • snow depth sensor off plumb; fitting looks bent; straightened/bent it back, but not quite vertical
