Summary: Swapped out 7500 for calibrated one. Cleaned rain funnel of bird poop.

Wetland Construction

We arrived around 10:00 PDT. It was sunny, cool (18 C), and super windy. The footprint continues to be overgrown. We swapped out the 7500 (sn 0976 box and head) with a calibrated one (sn 0042).

7500 readings (before swap):
CO2 = 15.66 mmol m-3 (16.5 after cleaning)
H2O = 750 mmol m-3 (620 after cleaning)
Diag: 249 (same after cleaning)
t = 21.95 C
p = 101.0 kPa
sos = 343.5 m s-1

7500 readings (after swap):
CO2 = 16.3 mmol m-3
H2O = 640 mmol m-3
Diag: 248
t = 20.7 C
p = 101.3 kPa
sos = 343.5 m s-1

MET looked good. Joe noticed that there was bird poop blocking the rain funnel. He cleaned it out and in the process tipped the bucket a few times (delete this data). Laurie noted that the radiation sensors are over tall vegetation, which is partially indicative of the footprint.

Cleaned solar panels.
