Summary: Tractor activity to west of tower, new berm present. All well.

Wetland Construction
2013-08-28

We arrived around 09:40 PDT. It was sunny, warm (22 C), and breezy. The field where the tower is located has been plowed under, although the vegetation immediately surrounding the tower remains. A tractor was rolling around the field to the west while we were there. The land was cleared in that field, with a new berm constructed diagonally across it. We did not collect data at this site because we plan to add a 7700 to the system next week, and will collect data then.

7500 readings:
CO2 = 14.6 mmol m-3 (16.2 after cleaning)
H2O = 940 mmol m-3 (720 after cleaning)
Diag: 249 (248 after cleaning)
t = 27.5 C
p = 101.3 kPa

MET looked good. We cleaned the solar panels and the radiation instruments.
