Summary: Pulled ground sensors and swung boom out of field

Arrived at the field around 10am local time to fairly still conditions and warming temperature. We pulled the ground sensors from the field and swung the boom over the berm. Jaclyn took spectral measurements, since the early morning fog had broken. We topped off the LI-7700 reservoir and did not clean the mirrors since RSSI was 50. We put a desiccant pack in the LI-7550 box to try to help with the moisture/corrosion issues experienced at other sites.

We ran into Bruce on the road and he said that rice harvest will likely happen in the next week or two, although some of the fields in the project look like they’ll be “blackbird feed” since they’re further behind.
