Summary: Regular data collection/cleaning, some met data drops, tested tipping bucket

Bouldin Corn

Dennis, Kuno, and I arrived at 9:35. It was sunny with thin clouds, a mild and pleasant day with good visibility. A farm worker came by to say they’ll be flooding in a week or two.

Kuno topped off the wash reservoir and cleaned the flux and rad sensors. Dennis cut back some of the weeds by the tower.
I downloaded met, camera, and USB GHG data. Some of the met data (e.g., Air T, RH, P, SHF plates) dropped out for 3 days (10/19-10/21). I originally thought it was a power issue, but some sensors like VWC and dfPAR don’t seem affected. I need to look into it more.

We cleaned and tested the tipping bucket sn 65548-615. Last week, we got 97 tips and adjusted the set screws in the bottom by one half turn clockwise (+2-3%). This week, we got 99 tips. I left it as is and didn’t make any adjustments.

LI-7500 readings:
CO2 475ppm
H2O 470ppm
T 15.6C
P 101.6kPa
SS 98-->101 after cleaning

LI7700 readings:
CH4 2.9ppm
RSSI 20 --> 88 after cleaning

We left around 10:05.
