Summary: Regular data collection and cleaning, dropped and then found GHG USB, brought camera back to lab

We arrived at 9:25. The weather was sunny, mostly clear with some thin clouds. There were a lot of flying ducks/geese in the air. The water level was higher than last time.

Sam cleaned the radiation, 7700, 7500 sensors. He also refilled the wash reservoir; it was ___ empty.

I downloaded the met data.

We dropped the GHG USB stick in the water. Sam got in the water and amazingly found the USB under the tower. We let the USB dry out for the rest of the day.

The 7500 read:
CO2 431.23 ppm
H2O 487.5 mmol/m3
T 13.83 C
P 102.2 kPa
SS 96.8 --> 97.3 after cleaning

The 7700 read:
CH4 2.38 ppm
RSSI 43.3 --> 84.2 after cleaning

Sam put on a new stardot camera. We were able to see a live feed of the image, so the camera/power seem fine. However, there were no files getting written onto the card. We installed the camera around 9:35 and checked at 9:55. I checked the card files by connecting to the datalogger through LoggerNet. Under File Control, I selected CARD but did not see any files at 9:45 as we expected. After visiting Mayberry, we came back to Sherman Wetland around 11am. There were still no photos on the card, so we took the camera back to the lab. I did not put in a fresh camera card, and Elke suggested that the camera card in the logger may not have been correctly formatted.

We cleaned out the precip bucket around 11:00 and may have tipped it a few times. The funnel was completely clogged.

We left at 9:55.
