We love our GPS...

| | Comments (0)
We returned late last night from our hike to Arenal to see the volcano and lava.   This morning we got up at 5:30am to go out with the bird group and help them plot their points and set waypoints for future use in our GPS system. After breakfast, we will pick up the HOBO sensors from the  one spring we placed them in yesterday.  The HOBO should have recorded time and temperature data every 15 minutes for the last 18 hours.  Once the data is uploaded, we plan to place one sensor in our supposed hot spring, and one in a nearby cold spring, to evaluate the validity of our supposition.

So far, everything is going well, but we have one problem. Because of dubious reasons, our data corrections cannot be completed here seemingly. This will increase our accuracy error from 1m to 6m and will not provide the opportunity to readjust our GPS lines.
