West Pond: 2012-04-17 12:30:00 (DOY 108)
Author: Joe Verfaillie

Summary: In the beginning there was a scaffold.

Pilot Ponds West
2012-04-17

I arrived with Dennis, Jaclyn and Sara about 12:30. It was warm and sunny with a breeze from the west. There were patches of green tules coming up, but still largely dead looking.

Frank removed his equipment yesterday. The tower was bare.

We installed a folding boom at the top pointing to the south and folding against the scaffolding to the east. We need an extension to mount the HMP60 above the folding arm.

We also installed the met sensors and data collection but forgot the power connector for the CR1000. We also forgot a pilot rod for the thermocouples so could not install those either.
