Nicole and Phondie went out to glacial ridge and changed the filter on the pesticide sampler during the afternoon of the 15th. The ending sample value on the magnehelic gauge was 33 and the end counter value was 6464.9. It began raining during the middle of the filter change so there was roughly a 10 minute wait in between shutting off the motor and putting on a new filter.

Concerning the plotting of the snow depth in the RTMC graphs. The output from the sonic snow depth sensors were erratic during the summer months due to possible things such as grass and weeds moving into the sample region. In order to keep the graphs looking nice and not displaying snow depth in the summer months, the figure and corresponding number displayed were multiplied by 0.0. This process was done by opening the Real Time Monitoring and Control (RTMC) application from the loggernet so…
