Shipping: 

  Michael Colee C/O SNARL
  1016 Mt. Morrison Road
  Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546


Schedules:

LiDAR: Dave had weather issues on an earlier trip so has to head up to Alaska next week. He and I are hoping to converge at the site for installation of the automated LiDAR sometime between Sept 17th-22nd.

Kerry: flight delayed: arriving in Mammoth ~noon of Aug 17th, available thru 26th+ staying at the Shilo Inn.

Alex: available Aug 16th thru 25th.

Bert: arriving UCSB for meetings/logistics Aug 14-17, Mammoth 18-21.

Dozier: @UCSB Aug16-18, Mammoth 18-25+

Colee: @UCSB Aug10->16th, Mammoth 17th-26th.

Stuart Wilkinson (USGS Seismology stuff): Aug 18th or 19th. To make their eqpt more permanent.

    • Alex's notes on net radiometers:
It looks like the integrated net radiometers are starting to get popular.  
Campbell just announced the release of a new one which looks like a really 
slick design and has better specs than the other set we were looking at:  
http://www.campbellsci.com/cnr4

CNR4-L 26003- Kipp & Zonen 4-Component Net Radiation Sensor $6,400.00
26120 26120 Net Radiation Sensor Mounting Kit  $145.00
CNF4-L 26008- Kipp & Zonen Ventilation Unit w/Heater $1,600.00

They've also got something for $4350 they're calling the NR01, manufactured 
by Hukseflux, which appears to be the same instrument as the Dynamax SN01: 
http://www.campbellsci.com/nr01
  • $$Perimeter Poles: Ned/Alex:
    • Ned to investigate permit/pounder/materials to implement 4"OD, 6' long poles.
    • Scoping plates w/ couplers/poles welded. 2-3' plate, 4-6' poles w/ 3-4" OD.
  • $$Paint: MTC/Ned/Alex:
    • Scraper
    • Sprayer from mountain?
  • $$Snow Pillow: nothing happening currently but still on the long-term wish-list. Previous notes reference a "DRUCK 5 PSI"???
  • $$Precip Guage?
    • Laser based unit?
  • $$MMSA chairlift wind integration: Chair1 working well, additional updates pending Dallas/Davis/Dozier meeting on Sept 19th.
  • Graphs: Alex:
    • RTMC (comes w/ loggernet) implementation of graphs, similar to Patrol.
