Summary: New berm crossing access road and travels directly in front of tower. Instruments dusty. 7700 data well-synced to sonic data.

Wetland Construction
2013-09-18

We arrived around 11:15 PDT. It was windy, sunny and warm (24 C). There is now a berm crossing the road on the way into the site that runs directly in front of the tower (see pic). Everything was pretty dusty, but it seems like they might be done with tractor work in the area.

7500 readings:
CO2 = 12.9 mmol m-3 (15.7 after cleaning)
H2O = 890 mmol m-3 (427 after cleaning)
Diag: 249 (248 after cleaning)
t = 27.7 C
p = 101.2 kPa
sos = 345.9 m s-1

7700 readings:
CH4: 1.99 ppm
RSSI: 11% (47% after cleaning the top mirror, 66% after cleaning the bottom mirror)
Reservoir was 1/2 full refilled.

The 7700 was almost completely synced to the sonic data, very few NaNs. Perhaps the time misalignment worked itself out.

MET looked good.
Cleaned solar panels.
