We arrived about 12:30 PDT. It was sunny and warm with a mild breeze. Nothing much going on yet. Water level was normal.

Sara collected data and cleaned the flux instruments while Joe worked on adjusting the Met code to add DO #6 to the differential channel #5. He moved the AM25T PRT EX channel from VX3 to VX2 (shared with NR01 EX).

I zip-tied the DO probe to the water well and almost submerged myself walking off a steep dropoff. Soggy clothes (and even harder laughter) averted. The DO reading was high when we left, so weâ€™ll check it next week to make sure it settled.

7500 readings:
CO2 = 16.3 mmol m-3 (same after cleaning)
H2O = 604 mmol m-3 (same after cleaning)
Diag: 248 (same after cleaning)
sos: 344 m s-1
t = 22.7 C
p = 101.6 kPa

7700 readings:
CH4: 1.98 ppm
RSSI: 55% (71.6% after cleaning)
Reservoir was pretty full. Refilled.

MET looked good. Cleaned rad.
