• Setup and start of measurements: week of May 7-14
• Official measurement period: May 15 0:00 to June 16 0:00

• As a non-editable web page by anyone here
• As an editable Google Spreadsheet with the link that was sent by email to everyone (email Jose if you want to be able to edit directly and did not get or have lost that link)

• Restrooms at the site: being investigated
• Power converters: for investigators coming from Europe, remember that electricity in the US is 110 V and 60 Hz, while in Europe it is typically 220 V and 50 Hz. Please verify that your equipment can work with US power, or get the appropriate adaptors or transformers. Note that some components may not work under 60 Hz. E.g. we have had this problem in the past with some sampling pumps.
