Bouldin Corn

Dennis, Ari, and I arrived at 12:45 PDT. It was a pleasant day, mild and partly cloudy with a slight breeze. Our corn is still here, no harvest yet on our field. However, we did see equipment harvesting some of the other corn fields west of us (fields south of Hwy 12).

I downloaded met, cam, and USB GHG data. I downloaded the FD data and cleared its memory. I downloaded the PA data and cycled its power. I downloaded the IRT data by swapping microSD cards and using CardConvert to convert the fast data to TOB1 and the slow data to TOA5.

Ari cleaned flux and rad sensors. Dennis collected some dry corn to bring home as autumn decorations.

10/16 11:00am GHG file - corrupt file, with some gibberish at the end. Missing data from 11:53 to 13:46. Probably a power outage.
