Arrived about 8:30 with Dennis and Ben. Clear, sunny, breeze, cool.

Setup LGR system. Swapped card before uploading new program to CR1000. TW_CR1kFlux_v3.CR1. This program has new order of columns based on discussions with Matteo:

Table: SI_Fast
Interval: 100 MSEC
Fields:
U Units: m/s
V Units: m/s
W Units: m/s
sos Units: m/s
lgr_sec Units: sec
lgr_ch4 Units: ppm
li_co2 Units: mmol/m^3
li_h2o Units: mmol/m^3

Table: SI_Slow
Interval: 30 MIN
Fields:
batt_volt_Avg
PTemp_Avg
U_Avg Units: m/s
V_Avg Units: m/s
W_Avg Units: m/s
sos_Avg Units: m/s
lgr_ch4_Avg Units: ppm
lgr_p_Avg Units: Torr
lgr_t_Avg Units: C
lgr_ring_Avg Units: usec
lgr_cal_Avg Units: none
li_co2_Avg Units: mmol/m^3
li_h2o_Avg Units: mmol/m^3
li_p_Avg Units: kPa
li_t_Avg Units: C
li_cooler_Avg Units: V
li_diag Units: none
li_band_Avg Units: Hz
li_delay Units: 6.579ms

Moved three huge batteries from Steve to tower site.

Met Jim and Bruce at recirculation pump generator. Seems the generator runs 24/7 expect for maintenance once every three weeks. And we could pull up to two 20A lines from it for our tower. Distance and cost of wire tradeoff.

Matteo arrived about 2pm to continue LGR measurements until about 6pm.
