We arrived around 09:10 PDT. It was windy and pleasant out. The site is a mix of golden, flowered, dry pepperweed along with a green understory of grass and forbs and even some green pepperweed plants. I attended to the tower and did a veg height transect while Patty did soil respiration and Dennis did moisture point. Later Dennis and I did spectral together. I forgot to do well depth.

LGR readings: 1.88 ppm, 09:10, 22.3 C, 132.9 Torr (adjusted to 146.3 Torr), 14.72 us, 10 Hz

7500 readings:
CO2: 16.4 mmol m-3 (same after cleaning)
H2O: 760 mmol m-3 (same after cleaning)
P = 101.5 kPa
T = 23.6 C
Diag: 248
Sos = 344.5 m s-1

Soil CO2 looked good.
Met looked good.
Cleaned rad.
