763 2011-01-31 Lab none Returned Factory Returned to Licor after having been loaned to us since last May.
762 2011-01-28 Mayberry Tower Removed Lab none Removed from the Mayberry tower for return to Licor. No CH4 at Mayberry until the new 7700 (sn TG1-0211) is ready to go next week.
232 2010-10-14 Lab none Installed Mayberry Tower The LI7700 was installed on a new tower at the new Mayberry wetlands site.
231 2010-10-13 Lab none Calibration Lab none Clibrated in the lab with grade 5.0 ultra pure N2 (40psi to empty) and 1.8978ppm CH4 god bottle (300psi). New fine wire thermocouple installed before calibration. Mirrors cleaned with rubbing alcohol and soft cloth.

Air T=27.9C, P=100.55kPa, RSSI=78%

Zero seemed right on flucuating about 5ppb around zero. I did not set the zero.

The span was a little off reading 1.842ppm about 50ppb short. I set the span.

I checked it with a scondary CH4 standard determined with an LGR at 4.982ppm CH4. The Li7700 read 5.050.
233 2010-09-29 Moffett Field none Removed Lab none Removed with the temporary tower from the Moffett Field experiement.
4142 2010-09-21 Twitchell Rice Gas Analyzer CH4 Removed Lab none Removed from the Twitchell Rice tower for zero flux experiment at Moffett Field
313 2010-07-28 Sherman Island Gas Analyzer CH4 Open-path Removed Twitchell Rice Gas Analyzer CH4 I removed the LI7700 from the Sherman tower for installation at Twitchell.
4538 2010-07-08 Loaned none Installed Sherman Island Gas Analyzer CH4 Open-path Moved from Frank's tower in the middle of East pond to Sherman Island.
319 2010-06-22 Lab none Installed Loaned none Installed at Frank's tower in the middle of East Pond.
302 2010-06-16 Twitchell Rice Gas Analyzer CH4 Installed Lab none Moved from Twitchell Rice to Frank's tower in the middle of East Pond. It did not power up, so we brought it back to the lab.
301 2010-06-16 Twitchell Rice Gas Analyzer CH4 Calibration Twitchell Rice Gas Analyzer CH4 Clibrated in the field with grade 5.0 ultra pure N2 and 3.276ppm CH4 secondary standard.

zero before: ~0.009 ppm
zero after: ~0.000 ppm

span before: ~3.333 ppm
span after: ~3.277 ppm
240 2010-06-16 Sherman Island Gas Analyzer CH4 Open-path Removed Twitchell Rice Gas Analyzer CH4 The Li7700 was removed from the Sherman Island cow pasture tower and brought to Twitchell Rice for calibration.
238 2010-05-28 Sherman Island-Levee Gas Analyzer CH4 Removed Sherman Island Gas Analyzer CH4 Open-path Removed from the Sherman Levee tower for installation on the Sherman Tower at the cow pasture.
317 2010-05-20 Twitchell Rice 0 Removed Sherman Island-Levee Gas Analyzer CH4 The Li7700 was removed from the Twitchell tower for installation on the Levee tower at Sherman.
316 2010-05-05 Lab none Installed Twitchell Rice Gas Analyzer CH4 Received from Liukang Xu of licor. Installed on the Twitchell tower. Single ended analog outs are being used to record the LI7700 data on the CR1000:

Channel 0V 5V wire
CH4 (mmol/m3) 0.05 0.15 wht
CH4 (ppm) 1 5 brn
Pressure (kPa) 90 110 grn
Temperature (C) 0 50 yel
RSSI (%) 0 100 gry

The mirrors are set to clean at an RSSI value of 20%.

USB logging is set up at 10Hz.
