Itinerary

Tasks

• download and maintain Campbell logger
  • change program to make it table data compatible
  • load new OS
  • set pakbus ID to 404
• Installation of additional CSI snow depth (4)
  • need to add an extra sensor to one of the sites
  • I have the sensors, A & S have the rest of the parts
• move webcam 90 degrees:
  • short unistrut pieces (need to cut from stock in prep room)
  • four bolts
  • two angle pieces (four hole)
  • four strut nuts
  • sawzall packed
  • climbing harness
• set up base radio & usb to serial
  • bring a few components from Fairbanks

Oh, I was thinking for the base radio to bring the sawzall, cut the rusted ubolts on the tower and then hose clamp a new pipe in place for the base antenna

From my field book:

• Seal 3" Pipes
• serial cable to C (bring from FAI)
• null modem to A (at the control shed)
• animal proof A
• tarps to B & C
• NRS to C
• mount antenna and set up rad network
• TC probes @ C need extending
• Need to get #5 thermal conductivity S/N at C (maybe hold off till I wire them in?)
• Need to look at what a good value for heat flux looks like prior to the trip

Potential Extra Items

• Install power from Control Shed to site C (I am not sure the power is available to us??)
• Install wireless communication to grid site (requires power)
