West Pond: 2012-10-18 13:00:00 (DOY 292)
Author: Cove Sturtevant
Others: Joe, Sara, Laurie

Summary: Joe got the syphon running with Brian. Put up ATI sonic. Water level under tower has raised.

West Pond
2012-10-18

We arrived about 13:00 PDT. Hot (30 °C), sunny, very light breeze. Joe was with Brian learning how to prime the syphon and back-flush the filter and they got the flow of water at the inlet coming in strong again. The water level at the site has raised and is now visible above the muck. Joe installed the ATI sonic which is now unfortunately behind the 7500, but that was the only way he could mount it. I checked the tower and helped Joe wrap up the installation. Sara and Laurie took water samples at the pier in the solar panel pond east of the tower.

Current 7500 readings:
CO2 = 404 ppm pre and post cleaning
H2O = 640 mmol m-3 prior to cleaning, 700 after cleaning
agc = 50, bumped to 43.8 after cleaning

7700 readings:
CH4 = 2.2 ppm
RSSI = 30 (bumped to 77 after cleaning)

MET looked good, upper DO at 36.5, lower DO at 2.8
