Summary: Data logger box chock full of ants, tipping bucket not working, camera mount loose - tightened, collected water samples
| Mayberry 2018-10-18 I arrived at 14:35 with Daphne and Kyle. It was sunny and warm with little to no wind. The water level was 36cm. Opening the data logger box was an explosion of little black ants. Daphne said our data system had become 'antalog'. Truly, there were more ants in the box then I have ever seen before at one of our sites. They proceeded to crawl everywhere – down cables, all over the laptop, up our hands and arms and up our boots. We threw a handful of mothballs in the box before leaving. We collected water samples for Isabel at 13:35PST. We tried to test the tipping bucket but got no readings. Probably the wire is broken somewhere. We left it disconnected for trouble shooting next time. The 7500 read: 421.8ppm CO2, 475.0mmol/m3 H2O, 26.0C, 101.6kPa, 99.1SS – 99.5 after cleaning The 7700 read: 2.08ppm CH4, 51RSSI – 85.7 after cleaning. The wash reservoir was topped off. Kyle cleaned the radiometers and retightened the camera mount bolts that had come loose. We left at 15:10 |
