New Lost Creek (US-Los) tower.
Last week the US-Los (Lost Creek) tower was updated. The original tower was an aluminum tilt down tower that was not meant to be climbed. The tower was replaced with a Rohn 25G tower, new guy lines and anchors. The new tower is easier to climb, easier to mount instruments and provides better torsional stability. The placement of the solar radiation sensors was adjusted to be farther from the IRGAs because of concern of getting reflected solar radiation. The current instrument arm for the net radiation sensors will be extended to clear the guy line and provide even more clearance from the other sensors. The new tower includes a vertical axis wind turbine to provide additional charging to the solar array and batteries.
