Summary: Calibrated the LGR, Picarro equipment gone.

Sherman
5/5/2010

Arrived about 1pm with Dennis, Jaclyn and Liukang and Chris from Licor. Warm and sunny, less wind than Twitchell and more from the north. Field and ditches are dry except for the ditch along the road that seems relatively high. Cows were in the far west end of the field.

Systems were running. Dennis and Jaclyn did field measurements and calibrated the LGR.

Sherman: cal gas 1.976ppm CH4, 17.56us, 156 Torr, 27C
pre-cal: 1.980
post-cal: 1.977

Note: Sherman cal gas tank is down to 700psi

Initial readings from the LGR were:

13:03pm, 25.85C, 140.91Torr, 17.742usec, 10Hz, 1.886ppm

I finally got the data logger serial ports sorted out:
Com1 - Met
Com3 – CR1000
Com4 – FastRad
Com5 – SoilMoist
Com6 – SoilCO2

The soil CO2 serial line is still not working. I brought the connectors in to test in the lab.

The Picarro equipment is gone. I turned off the breaker to the power line they were using.

Copied some of the met data and photo missed on Monday.

Left about 2:30pm
