Today was a half IOP that started in the afternoon. By 5pm the winds really started picking up along the coast. Otherwise, a pleasantly sunny and warm day.
Went to S1 (Station 18) and found the missing soil sample ring!! It was buried under the sample hole. I'll be sure to count the rings before packing up.
S3 (El Capitan) - Took a soil sample. It's in the oven.
S4 (San Marco) - Went to get a soil sample but could not open the lock! I pushed/pulled/jiggled but I couldn't unlock any of them. The site was far enough away from the parking lot that hauling a mallet and the soil sample tool box (that doesn't fully close anymore) was not going to happen. Did they change the lock or am I just unlucky with locks?
As of this writing, data looks good QC tables. Relieved that S7 CSAT/EC150 data recovered in time for the IOP's.
There is a full IOP tomorrow with added radiosonde launches at 530p and 830p.
