Summary: Inlet at a trickle, water level low. Downloaded data, took water samples in solar panel pond. All else good.

West Pond
2012-10-11

We arrived about 13:15 PDT. Mostly cloudy, breezy, cool. The inlet showed a very small flow of water and the water level at the tower remains below the surface, with a lot of muck and moss on top. The upper DO sensor remains out of water (reading 39), the lower DO sensor in the muck (reading 23.2). We downloaded the data and camera pics, cleaned the flux instruments, and filled the 7700 reservoir. Christina took water samples in the pond with the solar panels since she couldn’t grab any in the usual spot.

Current 7500 readings:
CO2 = 385 ppm
H2O = 580 mmol m-3
agc = 43.8

7700 readings:
CH4 = 1.9 ppm
RSSI = 37 (bumped to 61 after cleaning)

MET looked good.
