East End
2015-05-28

I arrived about 10:00am with Cove and Stephen and Alex from Ameriflux. It was mild and hazy with a nice breeze. The tules and cattails are flowering and the tips of the cattails are slightly brown. An Ameriflux inter-comparison starts today.

Cove and I add some rails and a post to the top of the scaffolding with speed rail fittings for the Ameriflux equipment installation. Ameriflux set up six solar panels on the slope of the levee near the start of the boardwalk.

I worked on raising the solar panels about 18in. The panels are now at about the same level as the tops of the cattails instead of being below them. I also washed the panels.

Cove calibrated the LI-7700 sn TG1-0155. The zero was off by 26ppb, but the span was right on.

We helped mount Ameriflux stuff for a while and then left Stephen and Alex to finish it up.
