East End
2018-12-06

I arrived at about 10:15 with Alex, Karen and Mishal. It was clear sunny and cool with a mounting breeze. The wetland is mostly brown. The water level looked about normal. The conductivity sensor was out of the water because someone had stepped on the cables. I removed the old Campbell DO sensor sn DO-06, which isn't working and has been made obsolete by the MiniDot. I did not modify the met program, but jumped its channel (3) on the mux so it should read zero. I moved the conductivity over to the scaffolding where the Eos CO2 and MiniDot are so that its cable is less vulnerable. The water level sensor is still in the well but I put some flagging on its cable so hopefully people will stop stepping on it.

The camera was still running so I did not change its settings. The 7700 was reporting a clock sync error so I set it to slave and that seemed to fix it. The GHG time was also ahead by about 4min so I reset it.

Alex, Karen and Mishal got busy putting decomposition bags into the wetland. (Alex details)
