Summary: Chamber measurements during low tide

2024-10-05
Gilbert Tract

Kuno and I arrived at Dutch Slough at 11:15 PST, just at the trough of low tide according to the predictions from Jersey Island. We had already warmed up the analyzer and proceeded to immediately begin measuring. We sampled the same three locations at each temperature profile, and got good, stable slopes from each measurement. We finished sampling around 12:30.

One of the sites had fresh otter poop.

The weather was very warm, which I anticipate may produce anomalously high methane fluxes. It also meant we had to get creative about our attire.
