Summary: Water samples and data download. All well.

West Pond
2013-02-28

We arrived around 13:40 PST. It was warm (~22 °C) and partly cloudy with mild breeze. The inlet showed steady flow and the water below the tower was normal. Laurie took water samples while I attended to the tower and downloaded the data.

7500 readings:
CO2 = 392 ppm
H2O = 455 mmol m-3
agc = 1.7 (1.0 after cleaning)
p = 102.91 kPa

7700 readings:
CH4 = 1.89 ppm
RSSI =45, bumped to 78 after cleaning
Reservoir was full.

I cleaned the radiation sensors, which were generally clean already. MET looked good, although TC(24) is reading higher than the others at ~12 °C while all others are reading 5-7 °C.
