Today we rebuilt the Turbulence Rig, which got undermined a couple of days ago. The waves and tides were lower than yesterday. With less wind the set-up was almost zero.
Besides the rig there was a lot more work. Due to the large waves the beach profile has changed. The smaller frames and other measurement equipment were either too high or too low above the beach surface. Below one of the three Mini-Frames, work in progress.
When all the instruments were deployed and placed on their correct heights it was time for the groundwater and soil moisture measurements. We measured from low water to high water. In between the measurements the quad bike provided some shelter from the wind.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is bad: rain, wind and possibly some thunder. Hopefully we'll be able to measure the exact location and height of the Turbulence Rig.
