West Pond
2012-10-25

We arrived about 14:10 PDT. Warm, breezy, few clouds. The water level beneath the tower was the highest it’s been in a few weeks and the inlets were running at full flow. Sara and Laurie took water samples while Joe and I checked the tower and downloaded data and camera pics, also cleaning lots of spider webs from the sensors. We downloaded ATI the data from the CF card with Card Convert, wiped the card and reinserted in the the CR1000. We used the white field netbook because we only had one good battery (see TW notes).

Current 7500 readings:
CO2 = 397 ppm
H2O = 470 mmol m-3
agc = 43.8

7700 readings:
CH4 = 1.87 ppm
RSSI = 52 (bumped to 82 after cleaning)

MET looked good, upper DO at 4.5, lower DO at 3.3
