Permanent tower
We arrived about 12:40 PST. It was a bit chilly, clear with a mild breeze. The tules are mostly all brown and the water level is high. I checked the tower and downloaded the data and autocam while Joe went out into the (cold!) water to collect the MET data and check the tule CO2 sensor, which he ended up bringing in to take a look at. We need to bring some silicone next time to reseal the glass front of the autocam housing (it’s set in there fine right now but takes very little pressure to dislodge).

On the way out the raod was almost block by a pile of rubble. Seems the dump truck was dumping rubble is narrow spots along the levee.

Current 7700 readings:
CH4 = 2.36 ppm
RSSI = 26 (bumped to 86 after cleaning)
Refilled reservoir (was 1/2 full)

7500 readings:
CO2: 18.6 ppm
H2O: 350 mmol m-3
agc: 43.8
