Summary: Water levels back to normal. Data download. Decimated the wasp horde (bamm!).
| West Pond 2014-08-07 We arrived about 14:15 PDT. It was hot and sunny with a light breeze. The water level was back up to normal, so I raised the water CO2 probe a bit. Sara took water samples at the inlet and outlet. I collected data and battled the wasp horde. Third time was the charm for kicking the wasps out of their castle. I dug out two large wasp nests from the ends of both booms that hold the flux instruments, and was finally able to clean all the instruments. I stuffed a rag in the end of one boom but we need permanent caps for both. I used the water sprayer to clear out a few other smaller nests under the boardwalks. The tower is wasp-free for the moment. 7500 readings: CO2 = 367.5 ppm (385 after cleaning) H2O = 835 mmol m-3 (770 after cleaning) signal strength = 74.65% (81.86% after cleaning) p = 100.9 kPa t = 30.7 C sos = 352.8 m s-1 7700 readings: CH4 = 1.96 ppm (1.91 after cleaning) RSSI = 35% (71% after cleaning) Reservoir almost full. Met looked good. |
