Summary: Annual grasses germinated under litters. Oak leaves fell. I met Mr. Tonzi, Tried to reinstall tower profile pump, LED filter lost.


When: Date: 12/17/2013 , Day: 351 , Watch Time: 10:00 am
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan
Weather: cloudy
Phenology: Annual grasses germinated under litters. Oak leaves fell. I met Mr. Tonzi. A lot cow poops around Vaira tower. Vaira is heavily grazed. Email to Mr. Varia to get his management information, but no responses.

Summary
  1. Checked and downloaded data from PC at Tower, Floor, and Vaira
  2. Swapped memory cards of CR1000s at three sites. Everything worked well.
  3. Swapped memory cards of facing-up cameras.
  4. Reinstall the pump in the CO2 profile system; not working properly.
  5. The cover of Tonzi NDVI sensor was broken.
  6. Read dendrometers (not all)
  7. Measured soil moisture
  8. Measure groundwater well:

  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: - v; - amps; - amps.
  3. downloaded Phenocam images
  4. swapped the memory cards of CR1000.
  5. Check the fans of air temp and relative humidity sensors at Vaira. YES!
  6. Met and soil CO2 profile data:

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

  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: - v; - amps; - amps.
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)
  4. downloaded data from PC and swapped the memory cards of CR1000.
  5. check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors on the tower and the floor. YES!
  6. Check rain gage, make sure not clogged. YES!
  7. Check calibration cylinders:

Is the pump running‌ Reinstall it; it ran, but air flow was very low. Not working properly. With N2 on, it looked like:
