Weather: Sunny with mild temperatures and clear sky. All is very calm, not currently windy. Hunting shots can be heard afar.
We filled the li7700 water reservoir, which was 75% full after Pep refilled it on the 24th of December.
Angèlica cleaned the sensors, which were very clean.
We downloaded met data. SHF2 was reading negative values. Angèlica checked it and it was tiled. It was reburied, and now it records higher than the other plates, let’s check next time when the soil is settled. TC_8_3 reads NAN the brown wire broke. We cut it and rewired it.
We downloaded flux data and formatted USB disk (only 2.3GB free). At first, the software couldn’t detect the smartflux. We connected and disconnected the ethernet cable from the PC side. After that, it worked.
Clocks were ok.
We checked phenocam’s possible location. We argued to use a metal plate at the vertical pole, under gas sensors.
We cleaned HMP. Which was very dirty with spider nests and dust, and replaced the fan.
We left at 12.49h UTC.
Veg height: Bare soil: muddy, some paddles.
Water height: When stepping, shoes get wet, so soils are saturated.
