Summary: Moved EosGPs to new CR23x, no manual soil moisture or well depth due to lack of field equipment, went to the pond - some cows on the way.

Hisashi, Kyoko and I arrived at about 13:15. It was mild with high thin clouds and a light breeze. There was some rain a few days ago but only enough to pockmark the dust on the solar panels. It is still very dry. There were cows hanging out by the stream bed.

I collected the met, flux, Phenocam and FD chamber (not clearing the memory).
The 7500 read: 426.8ppm CO2, 387.4mmol/m3 H2O, 99.8kPa, 20.1C, 102.7SS

Hisashi helped me move the wire connections for the four EosGP sensors from the old soil CO2 system to a new CR23x sn 2299. The battery bank for the soil CO2 system has died and the plan is to not replace it. I will remove the CR10x, mux, solar power and the two Vaisala profiles (north and east). I will leave the west Eosense profile near the FD chamber powering it from the main power and using a CR23x to collect that data.

I cleaned the radiometers but no manual soil moisture or well depth because I didnâ€™t have the field equipment.

We went to the pond. The pond level was 13.18ft. I cleaned bird poop off the solar panel and we skipped some stones.
