Sample Ball Flow = 37. Dry Flow = 30. Ref Flow = 4. Pump Pressure = 8.8 psi. 15:45 Switch to gas A. 15:46 Done adjusting regulator to get Flow = 37, Pressure = 8.7 psi. CO2 = 55.79 - 55.89 um/m. H2O = 1.080 um/m. LiCor P = 71.09 kPa, T = 21.87 15:49:30 Step 3-way to B. Adjusted regulator to get Flow = 37, Pressure = 8.7 psi. CO2 = 12.65 um/m. H2O = 1.060 um/m. LiCor P = 71.08 kPa, T = 21.69 15:52:30 Step 3-way to C. Adjusted regulator to Flow = 37, Pressure = 8.8 psi. CO2 = 31.47 um/m. H2O = 1.066 um/m. LiCor P = 71.07 kPa, T = 21.68 15:55:20 3-way back to HYDRA, System on D-S9 CU Tower 16:33:45 MDT On level S5. P = 20.8 psig. Switched profile to manual. Toggled C2. 16:36:45 3-way to ICS, Cylinder A, adjust regulator to get 21 psig. 16:40:00 Vco2 = 1.267 16:41:00 Step 4-way to B, regulator adjusted to get 20.6 psig. 16:43:00 Vco2 = 1.106 16:44:10 Step 4-way to C, regulator adjusted to get 20.5 psig. 16:46:45 Vco2 = 1.174 16:52:15 Switched profile to auto. Toggled C2. USGS Tower 16:14:00 MST Pressures seem to depend on line being sampled, noted in case important: flowmeter dip Pressure B left 551.9 B right 540.28 6M left 551.93 6M right 556.26 M left 547.68 6M middle 526.3 2M left 552.93 2M right 549.27 1M left 551.60 1M right 548.60 M right 545.27 16:14:00 Switched 3-way to start ICS, Cylinder A 16:16:00 Adjusted regulator to get 544.94.

P = 550.27, CO2 = 326.0. 16:21:00 Step 3-way to C. 16:21:30 Done adjusting regulator to get 550.6, CO2 = 354.5. 16:24:00 Switched 3-way back to sample from towers, line disconnected. System on line 2 (flowmeter dip = 6M right) AIRCOA B Aspen site 00:06:31 UTC Connect palmtop. Sampling air, slow flow. Flow = 1.50 out, 1.58 in, P = 71.568 After switching to High flow, Flow = 2.985 out, Flow = 2.968 in, P = 78.030 00:13:16 Took control. Open Cal1. Adjust regulator to 10. 00:17:25 P = 78.138 00:19 V12 turned off. 00:20 Found V7 off, too. 00:20:43 Switched V7 (Cal1) on, P = 71.745 00:23:00 Switch to gas B, lost serial communication. 00:26:00 Reestablish communication.
