Summary

  1. Swapped IRGAs at the three towers.
  2. Swapped memory cards of CR1000s at three sites. Everything worked well.
  3. Checked and downloaded phenocam images and met data from PC at Floor and Vaira.
  4. Checked the soil CO2 probes at Tonzi and Vaira;
  5. Read dendrometers
  6. Measured soil moisture
  7. Measure groundwater well
  8. Measure midday water potential of oak leaves

Vaira_Grass Site

  1. Downloaded Phenocam images.
  2. Swapped IRGA: sn 0042 on; sn 0073 off.
  3. Swapped the memory cards of CR1000.

  1. Checked levels of Radiation sensors, clear up surfaces.YES!
  2. Checked rain gage, make sure not clogged. YES!
  3. Closed gate and set up fence. YES!

Tonzi_Tower Site

  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Swapped IRGA: sn 0418 on; sn 0041 off.
  3. swapped the memory cards of CR1000.

image008.jpg

  1. download Phenocam images. Yes!
  2. checked the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors on the tower and the floor. YES!
  3. Checked rain gage, make sure not clogged. YES!
  4. Screens of met dataloggers:

CR23X3 – floor-Met

CR23X6 – tower-Met

CR10X2 – floor-Met

Soil CO2 profile: CR23X5 – soil CO2 profile

9. closed gate and set up fence. YES!

Toniz_Floor Site

  1. Fence and gate power: something wrong? No power.
  2. Swapped IRGA:sn 0976 on, sn 0035 off.
  3. Swapped the memory cards of CR1000.
