| Mayberry
4/13/2011 I arrived about 12:00PDT with Jaclyn and Gavin. There was quite a bit more green tules and cat tails showing. The water looked higher, but the marks on the well indicated that it had been higher previously. Lots of weeds beginning to grow on the levees in some places. It was mostly sunny with a strong wind from the west southwest. Jaclyn and Gavin went out to the Tule Tower and downloaded the data. The auto camera was off, but the battery was above 13V. Images quit only two days after our last visit so we lost most of the images. It might be worth tying the camera into the main solar system. I cleaned the LI7700 mirrors – RSSI was 88 afterwards. The top mirror had water spots along the edges. The washer reservoir was empty again. I filled the reservoir and will adjust the cleaning cycle next time out. I collected data from the 23x and swapped cards on the camera and CR1000. The pH sensor was still off the charts so we pulled it out. It was covered with algae and egg sacks. The conductivity sensor was likewise fouled. Jaclyn cleaned the conductivity sensor with a rag, but it need better cleaning next time. Examination for CR1000 data showed that the sonic data did not get saved since a couple hours since our last visit. I’m sure it was okay in Loggernet, but it did not get on to the CFM card. |
