I arrived about 10am with Jaclyn. There was patchy fog that was lifting quickly with almost no wind. The field is wet and the cows have mowed it. When we approached all the cows came to see if we might feed them. No evidence that Walt has fed the cows anywhere near our tower.

All the data loggers were running since Dennis’s visit on the 5th. The LI7500 SDM stream seems to have hung up. I saw this in the data collected last time just before the CR1000 cards were swapped. Restarting the CR1000 fixed the problem.

I pulled out four of the Decagon soil moisture probes labeled A, B, C, and D. Maybe only one or two of the remaining one seem to be working. I’ll pull the rest and the data logger as I can.

I cleaned the radiometers – just some dew.

The PRT temperature from the CNR1 looks bad.
