Summary: Regular data collection/cleaning, wetland still dry

West Pond

Kyle, Camilo, and I arrived at 11:10. It was an overcast and cool day with big, fluffy cumulus clouds. The inlet was not running. Someone had removed the gate by the East Pond inlet, so we were able to drive right up to the tower. The inlet was not running, and the wetland is still dry. The water level was 15 cm (a few cm below the soil level). There were some tule coming up under the tower, but the wetland is still mostly brown.

Kyle cleaned the flux and rad sensors. I downloaded met, camera, USB GHG, and miniDOT data; the miniDOT was in the air. The wash reservoir was 1/3 full; we refilled it. There were a lot of wasps hanging out, but they were calm because the day was cool. The Nikon camera was out of batteries so we did not take a reference GCC photo.
