Lysimiter ReDesign

  • Single shower style drain w/ raised filter/screen
  • HardyBacker w/ metal lip/rim?
  • Concrete w/ a mold?
  • Consider running gopher wire/mesh below perimeter to prevent undermining.

Soil Thermisters

  • Replace soil thermisters w/ calibrated units?
    • Is there any way to build in a coupling on the wiring?
    • If not, we should probably install conduit for these runs.

Ground level bunker access

  • Install water meter style access ports at north and south walls?
  • Install a 4" SLB or LB up on the south wall w/ a 90 facing down.
    • SLB: Service "Service Ell" bodies (SLBs), shorter ells with inlets flush with the access cover, are frequently used where a circuit passes through an exterior wall from outside to inside... from [1]

UpSize conduit to 4" on east platform run

  • Re-Do the East side, South run of conduit to 4"
  • Possibly the East side North run at the same time.
  • Use LB's to deal w/ turns rather than sweep 90's since the turn is too tight for a 4" sweep.

  • 3 Multiplexers:
    • Soil Temp
    • Snow Temp
    • Soil Moisture

Network

  • 16+port quiet switch
  • Wireless

SPN

  • Spare?
  • Pull down in July of 2013 and send in for calibration.

Tipping Bucket Redesign

  • Inflow at north is 2inch, 1.5inch at south.
  • Outflow is 1.5inch at both.
  • 7 tipping buckets at site now. Think about replacing all of them.

Misc

  • Try to get a quiet switch
  • Ping Kerry on solidstate muxes.
  • Need new wireless for site.
  • New UPS?
  • Plan on redoing all the computer cabling.
  • Pull out old hillslope runnoff unit?
