Summary: Standard data collection, camera clock messed up, adjusted camera mount so power jack doesn't get smashed

WestPond
2015-10-15

I arrived about 12:00 with Patty and Ian. It was sunny and warm with little to no wind. Water level was normal but the inlet was not running.

The 7700 read: 2.03ppm CH4, 36.9RSSI â€“ 84.08 after cleaning
The 7500 read: 393ppm CO2, 689.7mmol/m3 H2O, 86.8SS, 25.87C, 100.99kPa
After cleaning: 412.5ppm CO2, 612.4mmol/m3, 96.24SS

We did not check the 7550 clock or bandwidth setting here.

The camera clock was reporting 1980. I will need to rename/date the files based on the last photo being at 10:45 PST. I might crosscheck with images from other sites. The power connector on the camera was getting smashed by the enclosure lid and is probably what broke the last camera. I twisted the hinge mount inside to move the power jack away from the edge of the enclosure.

Ian collected more water but was finding it hard to get into the ponds due to the think vegetation.
