Sherman Wetland

We arrived at 13:40. The weather was sunny, clear, breezy.

Sam cleaned the precipitation bucket. The funnel was full of bird poop.

We attached a new copper ground wire from the datalogger box to the grounding rod.

Sam swapped the HMP60 fan/shield.

I collected the met and USB GHG data. Sam cleaned the radiation and EC sensors. The wash reservoir was nearly full; I topped it off. No camera data to collect.

LI7500 readings:
CO2 406.3 umol/mol
H2O 368.0 mmol/m3
T 16.7 Celsius
P 102.9 kPa
SS 97.2 -> 97.5 after cleaning

LI7700 readings:
CH4: 1.97
RSSI: 56.0 -> 84.0 after cleaning

At the camera enclosure, I cut off the old RJ45 connector and crimped a new RJ45 connector to the data cable. I connected the camera the data and power cables. I then connected to the camera through Stardot Tools on the field laptop. I was able to see the live camera feed with a consistent connection.

The camera time had reverted to Dec 31 1999, so I synced it with the laptop. At that time, it was 14:42. I waited a few minutes until 14:45, when we expect the camera to write to the card, but there were no files on the card.

I had planned to connect to the laptop, camera, and datalogger simultaneouly via the switch to manually run phenocam_upload.sh, but I forgot to bring an extra ethernet cable to connect the switch to the datalogger. To connect to the switch, I need to bring 2 extra ethernet cables to connect to both the laptop and the datalogger.

I brought the camera back to the lab.

We left at 14:55.
