  • Formatting was changed.

Preparing:

  • inventory: job boxes (3 in storage), manfrottos, otts (5 in lidar trailer, 1 in base), shts (only 13 in base), ???
  • TT license plates (now in base) (dcs now done)
  • OTTs to base from lidar trailer
  • break cables out of ice (3 spots for DCS)
  • pack up battery charger
  • pack up soil oven

Timing:

  • Steve runs to Logan to pick up repaired sonics?. The repairs have been delayed.
  • All drives to/from site (especially TTs) should occur in the morning, when the ground is harder.  Perhaps this means caching stuff on site and removing the caches in the mornings?
  • Steve already there; Clayton arrives 2/23 (last day of ops)
    • strip all towers of instruments, pack in tear down entire site into pickup and Penske; transfer pickup stuff into base
      • start with satellites, since Sebastian won't be available Thurs AM 
      • remove heating stuff from CSATs
      • add washers to CSATs?
      • good luck removing soils!
      • figure out how to pack NR01s with ventillation systems
    • provide some assistance to remove PI sensors
      • sort out NCAR vs. UU radiometers/ventillators (relatively easy: CVF3s to UU, CVF4s to us; Bindered sensors to us, rest to UU)
      • return HRXLs to UU – just cut cables?
      • return CS125s (DC is ISS's , I think)– E3412)
    • packing:return to remove satellite infrastructure, pack in 16' Penske
      • Rohn towers/bases/guys to 16' Penske
      • solar/job box to 26' Penske
      • manfrotto/square booms to 26'
      • other booms (including all TT) to 16'
      • cables sorted to base
      • DSMs to 16'
  • RSF tech available?Dexter available 3/1ish; Tony, Chris arrive 3/2ish
    • move solar panels, job boxes, manfrottos, etc from 16' to 26' Penske 
    • coil up supersite power cables, pack in 16' Penske for Boulder
    • help remove cc solar panels (hope we can drive in, or rent tracked vehicle from equipment place, or leave in place till later), if not already done
    • remove fencing to 16'
    • pull TTs out to BW road, if not already done
  • someone pulls Ubiquiti from school roof
  • need to pull out everything from DCS by 1 Mar

...

  • Trailer Transit for base to SWEX (Dan did, pickup on 4 Mar afternoon)
    • loaded with
      • all sensors
      • a few CFACT DSMs as spares
      • cell modems pulled from CFACT DSMs
  • Trailer Transit for TTs back to Boulder (Dan did, 26', pickup on 4 Mar from BestWestern)
  • Penske from Boulder to bring SWEX infrastructure (Dan did, pickup 2/28 from Loveland)
    • PAM tripods; booms; clamps
    • more job boxes/batteries?
    • SWEX DSMs
  • Penske in Heber to return to Boulder (Dan did, 16', pickup 2/23 from Strawberry).  Load infrastructure directly into this.
    • power cables/transformers
    • Rohn towers
    • thermocouple motes
    • anything dead (solar panels with bad connectors, etc.) "bad stuff"
    • v2.7 stuff, Kipp&Zonens, ventillatorsCVF4s and cables
    • bulk of CFACT DSMs
    • round booms

Issues:

  • Leave ventillation on NR01s, plugs into DSM AUX for power
  • Does Bill want wants his CS125 in Boulder or SWEX?to go to SWEX

Organized by location:

  • 16' Penske
    • Power cables (all), probably need to be removed from field via pickup
    • transformers
    • TT generators
    • Rohn towers (all), base plates, guys/straps
    • most CFACT DSMs
    • fencing stuff
    • thermocouple interfaces
    • sonic heater stuff
    • CVF4s
    • Kipp&Zonens
    • used SHT85s
    • v2.7 motes
    • round TRH booms?
    • TT brackets
    • bad stuff
      • some TRHs
      • a DSM
      • a mote
      • the LC sonic?
  • 26' Penske
    • solar panels
    • job boxes
    • manfrottos
    • sonic booms
    • NR01 booms
    • create site boxes?
  • base
    • sonics/EC150s /(EC100s with EC150)
    • TRH cases
    • QDPs (top shelf)
    • Otts and stands
    • Soils (1 tub)
    • DC power and data cables (sorted)
    • other sensor cables
    • cell modems
    • spare CFACT DSMs
    • NR01s (with ventillation)
    • v2.8 motes
    • cassette brackets
  • Lidar trailer
    • ISS CS125
