Summary: Showing the site to Kuno, Robert, Baptiste, George, Very wet, tree down at the pond.

Vaira
2019-02-07

I arrived at about 12:30 with Dennis, Kuno and Robert. We were joined by Baptiste Dafflon from LBL and George Moussally from Mirage Systems. Baptiste and George were there in association with the SMAP project and are thinking that Mirage System may fly a Ground Penetrating Radar over the site to try to get at soil moisture.

The ground is very wet and the water hole is full.

I collected the data. Dennis did the soil moisture but missed the gate probe. We tried to use the Jaz to take some spectra but the sky was partly cloudy and the incoming light was changing pretty fast. I measured the well. The well level was 54.2ft.

We drove most of the way to the pond but got stopped on the uphill section because it was too wet without 4-wheel drive. We walked the rest of the way to the pond. There was an oak down across the near side of the dam. The pond was full and spilling over.

The pond level was 22.28ft.
