Summary: Standard data collection, batteries still holding up, old boardwalk and well pipe uncovered by goats

West Pond
2023-10-27

Daphne and I arrived at about 13:00 PDT in the land yacht (Ford Expedition MAX - 17 mpg). It was clear sunny and mild with a light cool breeze. Goats have done a good job of clearing vegetation from the levees. They also seem to have eaten the willows hiding the old boardwalk and well pipe. There was a wasp nest near the old well pipe so we didn’t mess with it today. The inlet was not running and the water level was 55cm.

The data is complete, even with a full set of camera photos. Batteries seems to be surviving so far.
The 7500 read: 384ppm CO2, 594mmol/m3 H2O, 20.3C, 101.8kPa, 86SS – 105 after cleaning
The 7700 read: 2.15ppm CH4, 63RSSI – 90 after cleaning.
The was reservoir was 90% full and was refilled

Daphne collected the flux, met and camera data. The pi-cam quit partway through the download but completed after a power cycle and retry. I cleaned the eddy sensors and radiometers.

Wasps were our constant company and one tried to come home with us.

We left at about 13:30 PDT
