Site Measurements - Day Six 22/08/10

Day six dawned with high hopes. The skies were very clear and the team from GISTDA, Thailand finally had their equipment, it being delivered the evening before. The conditions were the same when we arrived at Tuz Golu. Those at the camp however had endured a windy night. So much so that when we arrived at the camp after our morning strole across the lake (!) the Turkish hosts were busy repairing the tarpaulins that mark out the site as they had been blown about during the night.

More clouds!

 

The clear conditions didn't last though as clouds started to appear. There were probably more clouds than on the previous day. Nevertheless the conditions appeared to be relatively stable so the site characterisation continued. The team from China were calibrating the 1 km x 1 km site again as they had another satellite overpass today. Around noon we repeated the reference panel calibration from yesterday. Analysis of the previous day's data had revealed some anomolies.

In order to sample another part of the site, GRASS was moved from its first location to another about 200 meters to the north-west. This was accomplished with the help of Dennis Helder and Larry Leigh from South Dakota State University and two of our Turkish friends. It was a relatively easy task, we simply disconnected the optical fibres and other connectors, lifted the base ring and walked to the new location. Measurements at the new site were also made today.

Everyone is keeping well, and no one has been sunburnt. Everyone does have rather brown hands though!
