Summary: Alfalfa mown, bales removed. Data download.

Twitchell Alfalfa
2013-11-21

We arrived about 13:15 PST. It was sunny, cold, and WINDY. The recent rains gave the tower a nice bath. No water in the well, though. The alfalfa has been mown and the bales removed from the site. We found a massacred field transect tape near the tower...

We downloaded data and cleaned the flux instruments. The camera was off. We added a zip-tie to better secure the 7700 analyzer (its mount allowed it to rotate off-vertical in high winds).

7500 readings:
CO2 = 392.6 ppm (400 after cleaning)
H2O = 280 mmol m-3 (220 after cleaning)
SS = 74.5% (75.4% after cleaning)
T = 15.75 C
p = 101.5 kPa
sos = 343.7 m s-1

7700 readings:
CH4: 2.1 ppm (1.93 ppm after cleaning)
RSSI: 6% (80% after cleaning)
Reservoir was empty refilled.

MET looked good.
