East End
2022-12-13

I arrived at 13:43. It was clear, sunny and mild. No water here either. The staff gauge ends in mud at about 10cm. When I got down to inspect the staff gauge I found the missing jug of DI water under the boardwalk.

I collected USB, camera, met and minidot data.
The 7500 read: 438.0ppm CO2, 307.5mmol/m3 H2O, 15.8C, 101.8kPa, 102.7SS – 103.8 after cleaning
The 7700 read: 2.07ppm CH4, 30.3SS – 77.7 after cleaning
The wash reservoir was empty. I refilled it and tested the spray and spin – all seemed well.

The rain bucket was clean. I smashed down the tules around the tipping bucket.

When I was moving the data to the DataPC, I noticed some gaps in the data. We could put the half level of scaffolding that’s in the lab on the top of the solar frame to get those panels a little higher above the tules.

I left at 14:15
