Summary: 7700 calibration and desiccant swap, tipping bucket calibration, cut 1/4 of corn patch.

Bouldin Corn
2019-10-22

Daphne and I arrived at 9:30. It was mostly clear, sunny and mild with a nice breeze from the northeast. We cut about a quarter of the corn patch nearest the tower while waiting for the 7700 to calibrate.

The 7500 read: 440ppm CO2, 524mmol/m3 H2O, 17.1C, 99.7kPa, 99.7SS – 101 after cleaning
The 7700 read: 2.78ppm CH4, 54RSSI – 89.5 after cleaning

We calibrated the 7700. It took a long time for the readings to settle – I think our flow rates were a little low at first. After calibration we swapped the 7700 desiccant flooding the head with the dry cal gas. The optics RH was 11% afterwards. . The hat and auto-wash spray head were reinstalled.
After calibration the 7700 read: 2.59ppm CH4, 87.2RSSI

We also calibrated the tipping bucket sn 65548-615. After cleaning the tipping bucket we connected it to a CR23x and dripped 475ml of water through the bucket which should result in 100tips. We got 99 tips – no adjustment needed.

We left at 11:00
