Weather: Cool and breezy. Clear with cirrostratus throughout the day.
Tasking:
- Attempted to pick up the replacement station batteries from Shaff Implements, however they accidentally delivered absorbed glass mat instead of gel. The correct set are not slated to arrive until next Monday unfortunately, perhaps this can be expedited.
- Morning data check looked good.
- Finished theodolite survey of the UW temperature profiles.
- Took soil samples from the corn, swale and bean sites, they are currently drying in the oven.
- We bumped into April this afternoon, she said the IOP last night was the best yet! The smoke is finding the low points of the swale even better then they imagined. Tonight it will be too windy for another IOP, but the hope is that there will be a couple of good evenings by the end of this weekend.
- Afternoon data check also looked good.
Tomorrow we will catch up on data entry and figure out which batteries we will swap out when the new ones finally arrive. Also, Lou is suppose to be on site to assess ISS's equipment.
