Summary: moved tower back in the field, calibrated 7700, and normal data download

We arrived at 9:30am. It was rainy, cool and breezy. The field was harvested and disked, but not flooded yet. We moved the tower back into the field and installed all ground sensors. Soil heat flux plate sn 6499 was installed to replace the one that was broken on removal. The soil TC profiles were cleaned up and repaired in the lab. Joe installed and fixed the boardwalk leading to the tower. We downloaded data and calibrated the LI-7700 sn TG1-0211

We need to measure instrument heights and boom direction next time. The top of the well is 50 cm above the soil surface and the pressure transducer was installed 80 cm from the top of the well.
