Summary: Footprint pretty green. Data download. Took GPS reading of tower location.

Wetland Construction
2013-08-14

We arrived around 9:40 PDT. It was sunny, breezy, and warm (23 C). The footprint is pretty green. From the top of the tower one can see the cleared land near the edge of the footprint, but the majority of the footprint hasnt been touched since it was plowed prior to us setting up the tower. This latter portion has progressively become greener as vegetation has established and grown.

I downloaded data while Sara cleaned the instruments and the solar panels.

7500 readings:
CO2 = 15.8 mmol m-3 (16.4 after cleaning)
H2O = 660 mmol m-3 (600 after cleaning)
Diag: 249 (same after cleaning)
t = 26.8 C
p = 101.2 kPa
sos = 345.0 m s-1

MET looked good.

I took a GPS reading of the tower location: N 38 05.816', W 121 38.187', -5 m
