Happy #FieldworkFriday! The PNSN field crew upgraded the battery bank at BURLY this week. BURLY contributes to @USGS_ShakeAlert earthquake early warning and serves as a repeater for seismic data transmitted by radio from EDM at Mt. St. Helens and WATCH near Mt. Rainier.
Happy #FieldworkFriday! Satellite comms, like the Starlink at PASS, can transmit data where cell coverage is poor. But satellite dishes are power hogs, so we often use a short radio hop from a solar-powered seismic site to an AC-powered site with a satellite dish @USGS_ShakeAlert
