Mayberry

Carlos and I arrived at 15:30 PST. It was mostly overcast with cumulus clouds on the horizon. It was raining lightly when we arrived, but soon afterwards we felt a large gust of wind and got hit with a brief hailstorm! I was able to huddle underneath the upper boardwalk with the laptop.

The staff gauge read 52.5cm.

I downloaded met, cam, and USB GHG data. Carlos cleaned the rad sensors but did not clean the flux sensors since it was raining the whole time we were there. The wash reservoir was 80% full; we refilled it (there were some wasps in the reservoir). I finished the picam download in the car and changed the picam program to the latest version that has file compression.

The 7500 read: (weird numbers because it was raining)
538ppm CO2, -125mmol/m3 H2O, 9.0C, 101.0kPa, 69SS – did not clean
The 7700 read: (weird numbers because it was raining)
1.98ppm CH4, 0RSSI--did not clean

We left at 16:00 PST.
