Summary: Standard fieldwork, Installed Arable Mark 2, LBL crew ECOSTRESS survey.

I arrived at about 14:00 with Daphne. It was mild and sunny with clouds moving in from the west with approaching rain for the next week starting tomorrow. The ground is dry and crumbly. A group from LBL will be here later today around 16:00 for a soil moisture survey. See the notes for Tonzi from today for more description.

Daphne did the standard fieldwork collecting data, soil moisture, well level, and spectral measurements.

I worked on adding an Arable Mark II prototype sn C002471 to the radiation boom. I attached a 1” PVC pipe extending to the west to the boom below the back edge of the radiation platform. I remounted the existing Arable Mark I and then mounted the new Mark 2 to the pipe. The pipe should be replaced with a slightly longer metal pipe. Otherwise all seems well.
