Summary
  1. Checked and downloaded data from PC at Tower, Floor.
  2. Joe downloaded data at Vaira
  3. Swapped memory cards of CR1000s at three sites. Everything worked well.
  4. Calibrated CO2 profile system; Zero and span seemed not stable.
  5. Read dendrometers
  6. Measured soil moisture
  7. Measure groundwater well:
