Tonzi
2016-11-17

I arrived about 11:00 with Siyan. It was clear, sunny and cool with very little wind. The trees have lost most of their leaves. The ground is damp, but not soggy and the pond has not come up very much.

I collected data and serviced the zcams. Siyan did the regular fieldwork.

The Li-820 was not reading again. I cleaned its cell and recalibrated it. The pump and solenoids seemed to be working well. The radiometers were clean. The top HMP45 readings looked off, but there should be data from the new HMP60 to fill with.

When I was servicing the zcams, the window on zcam 3 fell off. I put it back on with some putty, but it needs resealing with silicon.

The motorcycle battery on the Tower fence was dead. I move the remaining battery from the Tram system to replace the fence battery. I need to bring some battery boxes for both the Tower and Floor fence batteries.

We replaced the Moisture Point probes near the tower that has two broken pins. sn 00000128B8072 removed and sn 00000FEDDAA1 installed.

I picked up five lengths of small PVC pipe for conduit at Vaira Pond.
