Instructions

Preparation for Field Trip

  • Check weather

  • Write secretary to book Stadtmobil

  • Pick up Stadtmobil Card and KIT Transportation card (to open KIT gate)

  • Throw in Reiseantrag

  • Charge Pb Batteries for Soil Moisture

  • Check with Jan Wienhöfer if the Toughbook is available

What to bring to the Field Trip

Own Stuff

  • Water and Lunch
  • Good shoes
  • Mobile Phone (Download maps beforehead, not alway internet in the area. Maps.me is a good choice)
  • Driving license ;)
  • Long trousers (ticks!)
  • Rain gear (umbrella) when rain is forecasted
  • Stuff you picked up at KIT beforehand + key

From Uni

  • Toughbook (charged)

  • Folder with field protocols (there are also instructions for the different loggers in there)

  • charged Pb car batteries for soil moisture

  • Grey plastic box with:

    • All connection cables

    • Spare batteries, CR1032 for RainGauges, AA Lithium for Ott

    • Lubricant for rain gauge loggers because they tend to get stuck in connector

    • 10 mm open end wrench to disassemble rain gauge in case sth. is broken (often the Reed contact)

    • Small phillips screw driver to open rain gauge logger for battery replacement

    • Tape

    • Cleaning stuff

    • shears for cutting stuff above rain gauges

In the field

  • First pick up Stadtmobil

  • Get all the stuff from Uni

  • Use google maps to navigate to the loggers, google maps gives slightly wrong direction for first site, follow the signs to "La Saletta" instead

  • Fill out protocoll and download data at every site

  • Replace batteries where necessary

  • Clean clogged rain gauges

  • Do not forget to launch the loggers again after download if necessary

  • End of the day: Drive to uni, bring back stuff, depending on Stadtmobil station type you can already leave the Stadtmobil card when there is a key box, if you had to unlock the Stadtmobil with the card at the front window, you have to keep the card and bring it back to the secretary later

  • Downlaod data from Toughbook, maybe process it already (talk to Mirko)s
