Summary: Regular data collection/cleaning, windy day, inlet still on, water level much higher than last visit, willows have leaves

2021-03-30
West Pond

I arrived at 14:40 PDT. It was windy, sunny, and warm, although the willows (which all have leaves now) around the tower buffered me from most of the gusts. The inlet was still on and I think someone has trimmed back some of the branches on the levee road by the inlet. The staff gauge read 62cm.

I downloaded met, camera, USB GHG, and miniDOT data; cleaned met and rad sensors; topped off the wash reservoir; and changed the miniDOT and water level sensor desiccants. The incoming radiometers (SWin, LWin, PARin) were muddy, probably from bird feet.

LI-7500 readings:
CO2 405ppm
H2O 250ppm
T 25.1C
P 101.6kPa
SS 96--> 98
LI7700 readings:
CH4 1.98ppm
RSSI 47--> 79 after cleaning

I left at 15:10 PDT.
