Weather: Dry, slight haze, clear sky our site, breeze generally from the N to West quadrant when we were out there.
Staff: Jacquie, Mack, Matt
Data check (AM/PM): stable
Notes:
Took advantage of Matt's last day and did a tour of ISFS (and ISS).
- Matt did his due diligence and gave me the safety briefing.
- We collected soil samples from t23 and t29 using a Steve's technique that adapts to sandy soil.
- Mack took cables from t17 and t26 solar panels to reconfigure solar panels for Chenning's chain of temperature sensors in parallel (Mack can comment more on this but it seems to have been successful).
- Met with Shane, Chenning, and Bruce Morley (who arrived today). Since learning they have UCAR accounts, they have been added to our project wiki's. You will have noticed many posts from them backfilled with notes and photos since set-up.
- Looked at the SHINE hotfilms on t0 and reviewed connecting to the DSM.
- Watched the 10a and 3p sounding
Safe travels Matt and thanks for the tour, tips, and info!
