‘Weekend-shift’
After three days of storm surge and spring-tide, the container containing all the equipment was put back on its spot on the beach again. After re-installing the permanent sonic anemometer on the dunefoot, the data from the in situ-weather station was collected as well as the data from the permanent sonic anomemeters higher up the dune. The rest of the day was spent ‘reorganizing’ the interior of the container and mapping the beachprofile using the rtk-GPS, as well as running some tests on a damaged saldecs/anemometer logger. Sadly it has to be concluded that the logger is temporaraliy broken. It will go back to Utrecht next week and we are confident ing. Bas(our very own equipment-engineer) is able to fix it.
Today I went to the beach by myself to take the first ‘Sunday-Shift’ of the campaign on me. The wind conditions today were very calm compared to the first days of the campaign, so I was able to measure all the necessary things on my own (no saltation what so ever). The wind direction today is North to Northwest but still slightly onshore. For me reason enough to deploy the mobile sonic anemometers to gather some data.
