New field equipment was deployed on several of the CorsicArchive field sites. A second automatic rain collector was set up near Col de Vizzavona right before Christmas 2017. Up until now it is producing equal amounts of samples and problems.
At the beginning of August 2018 a new soil suction probe was installed at our high elevation site near Capanelle ski resort. Although the rocky soil was difficult to penetrate, it could be installed at around 80 cm depth and produced a first sample two weeks afterwards. It will lead to a better understanding of soil water conditions at high elevations and complements the results from the already installed probes at our coastal sites.
