Post 2010 Notes:

Heated Sonic Anemometer: $5500

• Aiming at winter 2011 installation, waiting for budget stuff before purchase.

Precip Guage (Bert has no faith so unless it's free, bail on this):

• Folks at Mt. Washington have something that werks, Kerry looking into wind shield and pricing.
• Jesse also had this to add:

And the one I was really in favor of trying a couple years ago...

Pulling the Dynamax soil moisture probes is a really really good idea for re-cal / check out.
Just wanted to remind all that the sleeves were not used due to the dryness of the soil normally, Mike McClung of Dynamax recommended not using them for this application when we installed them originally.

Soil Moisture Probes:

• Need overhaul and re-installation w/ tubes.
• Also these units for less than $150 each that both Jesse and Kerry recommend.

Snow Pillow: $10K

• Bert saw something that looked reasonable at AGU
• Jerry Johnson has his setup.

Overhaul tipping bucket mounts.

Chores:

• Paint remote boom and re-do depth markings so we can see them from the camera.
• Reinstall soil moisture probes.
