Rick and Chris onsite today.
Weather today was mostly sunny with some low puffy clouds, and high in the mid 70s
Cleaned the Solar panels and NR01s today. Noticed the one of the solar panels ( t20 ) had some weird burn marks in the silicon. Have not noticed this impacting the charging of the batteries, but something to keep and eye on and possibly tests when back in the Boulder.
Based on the pictures from yesterday's blog, Steve and I had a discussion about moving the drone testing to minimize impact caused by changes in the downwind roughness produced by the UAV activities. Chenning and I had a discussion with Stephan and Nathan about the location of the students, vehicles and tents. Today the UAVs were moved between t0 and t8, and the students were seated between the solar panel and the road, and the vehicles and tents were moved to about 150' west of t0.

We got Nathan's students involved with balloon launching today and Stephan gave a short lecture on sondes.
