  1. The Tiksi Hydrometeorological Observatory ProgramReport after trip on September 2009 U.S. Science Contact: Taneil.Uttal@noaa.gov Russian Science Contact: Maksh@aari.nw.ru

  2. Weather Station Still requires plumbing and additional weatherization (in progress as of October 2, 2009)

  3. Clean Air Facility – Structure completed in 2008 Still needs conditioned power, additional electrical, Etc.

  4. Special Requirements to be a Clean Air Facility

  5. NOAA (intended) Contributions to Tiksi 2009 Baseline Surface Radiation Network Facility Flux Tower Climate Reference Network Site Ozone Flask Sampling Black Carbon Roshydromet Contributions to Tiksi 2009 Satellite Communications System for Data Transmission Flask Sampling Program Standard Russian Radiation Measurements Permafrost measurements UVB measurements Finnish Meteorological Institute to Tiksi 2009 Aerosol Sampling Green House Gas Sampling

  6. Results of the 2009 Installation • Russian installations completed • Finnish installations partially completed • Some US sampling programs started • Most of the US equipment delayed in shipping and customs • Status of the Weather Station and the Clean Air facility reviewed

  7. Radiation Sensors RUSSIAN INSTALLATIONS Instruments Aerosol Samplers

  8. The wandering US shipment – still waiting word on deliver. Left Boulder on Aug 25 with a delivery estimate of 10 days To be continued……..

  9. List of Construction RequestsClean Air Facility • Protection of Finnish Equipment during Construction • Minimize site disturbances around CAF • No Smoking in CAF. Deposit cigarette butts in trash, not on Tundra • Installation of Boardwalks (NOTICE: Boardwalk map has been modified) • Install Electrical Ground Bar into CAF (similar to Wx Station Ground)Insulation in CAF • Tables and Benches in CAF • Power to CAF • Aerosol Tower installation • Pump Room • Grating for stairs and landings • Flux Tower Installation • Driveway to access building and cargo area • Wall Penetrations • Cables to Finnish instrument cabin • Aerosol Inlet to Finnish Instruments in CAF • Installation of metal racks and tables on roof

  10. Weather Station • CAF • Protection of Finnish Equipment during Construction • Minimize site disturbances around CAF • No Smoking in CAF. Deposit cigarette butts in trash, not on Tundra • Installation of Boardwalks (NOTICE: Boardwalk map has been modified) • Install Electrical Ground Bar into CAF (similar to Wx Station Ground)Insulation in CAF • Tables and Benches in CAF • Power to CAF • Aerosol Tower installation • Pump Room • Grating for stairs and landings • Flux Tower Installation • Driveway to access building and cargo area • Wall Penetrations • Cables to Finnish instrument cabin • Aerosol Inlet to Finnish Instruments in CAF • Installation of metal racks and tables on roof

  11. Both Facilities • Install wireless internet system • Install equipment racks • Ensure uninterrupted conditioned power (UPS)

  12. Contract Discussions • NOAA Facilities Contract • NOAA Inter-government MOA • NOAA Contract for Services • Представители НОАА

  13. Next Action Who will conduct next inspection, and when? AMS Polar Meteorology and Oceanography
