USGS Tower 17:59:38 UTC *,6,A,A says line 6 but flowmeter dip indicates differently, noted in case important: datalogger flowmeter dip Pressure 9 R5 8 R13 10 R11 11 R6 558 13 R8 14 14 553 1 R1 3 3 4 9 also, R7 (line 'T') has no flow Attached line. 18:06:00 Switched 3-way to start ICS, Cylinder A 18:08:00 Adjusted regulator to 7 to get 556. CO2 reading is 394 and oscillating by ~ 2 ppm. 18:10:00 Pressure 559, CO2 394.8 and steady. 18:10:35 Step 3-way to B. 18:11:30 Done adjusting regulator to 0 to get 566. 18:13:00 Pressure 564, CO2 327.0 and steady. 18:13:35 Step 3-way to C. 18:15:00 Done adjusting regulator to 0 to get 559, CO2 355.5 and steady. 18:17:00 Pressure 555, CO2 355.6 and steady. Switched 3-way back to sample from towers, line disconnected. System on line 13 (flowmeter dip = R9) HYDRA at Pine Tower 12:14:00 MST On line D-S1. Ball Flow = 29. Pump Pressure = 9 psi. 12:15:15 Broke sample connection to connect rotators. On line D-S2 12:17:00 Done adjusting regulator to 6 to get Flow = 31, Pressure = 9 psi. CO2 = 53.7 ppm. LiCor P = 71.39 kPa 12:21:00 Step 3-way to B. Adjusted regulator to 0 to get 30/9/-/71.39 (ball-flow / pump P / CO2 / LiCor P) 12:22:50 HYDRA thinks it's on D-S7. 30/9/10.00/71.39 12:24:00 Step 3-way to C. Adjusted regulator to 0 to get 30/9/-/71.38 CO2 = 28.72 12:27:30 HYDRA switched to C1. -/-/42.1/71.38 12:28:00 Reconnected sample connection. HYDRA on S1, LiCor P = 71.38 AIRCOA A Willow site 20:14:37 UTC valves 5 and 6 off, 11 and 12 on (fast-flow and guest cal) on gas A, set regulator to 10 psi, LI820 P = 80.6 20:16:33 valve 12 off. P = 72.46, CO2 = 373.8 20:18:30 Step 3-way to B and valve 12 on. Adjusted regulator to 8 to get P = 80.99 20:19:30 valve 12 off. P = 72.44, CO2 = 307.5 20:21:30 Step 3-way to C and valve 12 on. Adjusted regulator to 8 to get P = 80.89, CO2 = 338.5 20:22:30 valve 12 off. P = 72.4, CO2 = 335.5 20:24:30 Entered command of 'r' to resume computer control. On line 4 (valve 3) To line 5. P = 80.69. Valve 12 off. P = 72.4. Disconnected rotator quick-connect and replaced with male quick-connect vent. AIRCOA B Aspen site 21:13:40 UTC valves 3 and 6 off, 11 and 12 on (fast-flow and guest cal) on gas A, set regulator to 10 psi, LI820 P = 80.6 21:15:40 valves 6, 4, and 12 on (fast flow on line 5). P = 78.76. Flow = 2.9. valve 12 off. P = 72.12. Flow = 1.54. 21:16:15 valves 4 and 6 off, 11 and 12 on P = 78.2, Flow = 2.92 Adjusted regulator A to 10 to get P = 78.43, Flow = 2.94 21:18:00 valve 12 off. P = 72.14, CO2 = 403.0, Flow = 1.55 21:20:00 Step 3-way to B and valve 12 on. Adjusted regulator to 8 to get P = 78.29, CO2 = 334.8 21:21:05 valve 12 off. P = 72.13, CO2 = 332.5 21:23:30 Step 3-way to C and valve 12 on. Adjusted regulator to 8 to get P = 78.23, CO2 = 364.0, Flow = 2.91 21:24:30 valve 12 off.
