Setup for the IOP phase continues.  Today Emily and Geraint got the NCAS profiler working around midday - however after about an hour operation a fault developed which is being diagnosed with the assistance of the manufacturer.  It may be a temperature related issue since there may be a problem with AC on the system.  The hour of measurements did reveal significant ground clutter, despite being surrounded by an embankment on two sides (east and north) and the Operations Centre building to the west.  The south side is open to hills 1 - 2 km away and we appear to be getting significant clutter from those.  We plan to build a clutter fence on this side over the weekend. 

Tomorrow an office trailer is due to arrive at the sounding site, along with Helium.
