Site Measurements - Day one 17/08/10

So the first day of measurements has arrived. Again the participants had the long walk to the measurement site to contend with first before doing any measurements. A brief meeting was held to decide which team was measuring which site.

The site has been marked using marker flags into nine seperate measurement areas. There are eight areas that are 300 m x 100 m and one area that is 1 km x 1 km. The entire measurement site itself is marked by two black tarpaulins that are 120 m from the edge of the smaller measurement areas. This is so the measurement site can be identified by orbiting satellites. A plan of the measurement site is show below.

Seven of the teams present measured six of the measurement sites. The 1 km square site is large enough to be measured by more than one team. The participants were on the lake from approximately 0930 local time to 1230 local time. A few teams had some problems communicating with their equipment and as a result didn't manage to make as many measurements as they would have liked. However there are still a further 8 days of measurements to come in which to gain more data.

Some satellite images of Tuz Golu that were taken on day one have already been received. The tarpaulin markers can clearly be seen in both images. These images can be seen in the multimedia gallery calvalportal.ceos.org/web/guest/multimedia-gallery
