Just to start a list of what to do when/if(!) we get back next week – a fairly long list for 3 days!:
Site issues:
- dcs is totally down. It appears to have lost power on 21 Dec soon after being powered up and subsequently died on 26 Dec.
- pc is totally down. Similarly, it lost power on 15 Dec soon after being powered up and died 23 Dec.
- dc stopped connecting today (30 Dec). Power was good when it stopped – a modem issue?
- lc power cord was cut by plow. Might stay up until we get there and replace the cord.
- up may or may not have a power drop, so might need to create another solar farm. (Do we have cables?)
Existing sensor issues:
- Most sonics are reporting NA, though they did work initially. Assuming this is ice related (try more heating?), but might check with Campbell to see if a configuration change would help.
- Most EC150s also show missing data. However, in at least one case, I've found the EC150 data to be okay – just missing because statsproc processes it in a group with the sonic data that ARE bad. Hopefully, fixing the sonics will bring back the EC150 values.
- A thermocouple appears to have been plugged in at sh on 19 Dec, but seems to have died on 21 Dec – just 2 days later. While it was plugged in, the data were okay, though I haven't yet looked at spectra.
- Rfan.3m.prs is bad (T/RH ok). Housing should be replaced?
- Tsoil.mw is all -273. Hopefully, just a loose Binder connector.
- HRXL.cc stopped reporting 24 Dec.
Sensor changes:
- reconfigure radiometers into operational mode at dcs and prs. Have new mounting for 0.5m radiometer "paddles".
- move CVF4 Rlws to darkhorse
- move other paddles to 0.5, 7, and 32m (booms for 7 and 32 are on site at each site) – lots of cables to redo. Sebastian will help.
- attach thermocouples and loggers to towers at dcs and prs. Eric said he'd do most of this work.
- raise both TTs
- test heating scripts
Standard operations:
- finish recording serial numbers (a table has been started in this wiki)
- take site photos (maybe Dan has already done?)
- shoot boom angles (compass, then Leica)
- take the first set of gravimetric measurements (though freezing soil probably will have moisture that the EC-5 doesn't see).
