Tonzi: 2014-01-07 09:00:00 (DOY 7)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others: Joe

Summary: Standard fieldwork, tested wireless data transfer at Vaira, fixed CO2 profile


When: Date: 1/7/20134 , Day: 7 , Watch Time: 9:00 am .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan, Joe
Weather: clear, partially cloud
Phenology: No rain yet since November. Grasses were germinated and looked not bad under the litters. Weather forecast said that the dry condition would continue.

Summary
  1. Checked and downloaded data from PC at Tower, Floor.
  2. Joe downloaded data at Vaira.
  3. Joe tried installing wireless data transferring system. It didn’t work due to no signal by T-mobile.
  4. Joe checked the Ta-Rh profile; one sensor broken.
  5. Swapped memory cards of CR1000s at three sites.
  6. Swapped memory cards of up-facing cameras.
  7. Joe fixed the CO2 profile system and calibrated it.
  8. Read dendrometers
  9. Measured soil moisture
  10. Measure groundwater well:
