Tonzi: 2014-03-18 09:30:00 (DOY 77)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others:

Summary: Oak leaves came out 2 weeks early, CO2 profile CO2 tank empty, Rotated CO2 soil probes, removed one, swapped 7500 at Vaira


When: Date: 3/18/2014 , Day: 77 , Watch Time: 9:30 am .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan
Weather: clear, sunny, a perfect spring day
Phenology: 100% of oak leaves came out at Tonzi, about 2 weeks earlier than multi-year average; no cows at both sites.

Summary
  1. Swapped memory cards of CR1000s at three sites. Everything worked well.
  2. Checked and downloaded winflux and met data from PC at Tower, Floor, and Vaira.
  3. The CO2 profile system wasn’t calibrated on site due to empty CO2 tank.
  4. Checked the soil CO2 probes at Tonzi and Vaira; relocated probes at Vaira-west and Tonzi-Tree profiles to see whether rotation of probes would change difference in gradients of soil CO2.
  5. Read dendrometers
  6. Measured soil moisture
  7. Measured grass height
  8. Measure groundwater well

Vaira_Grass Site
  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Downloaded Phenocam images.
  3. Swapped the memory cards of CR1000.
  4. Swapped Li-7500s. sn 0035 on, sn 0041 off.
  5. Checked the fans of air temp and relative humidity sensors at Vaira. YES!
  6. Downloaded met and soil CO2 profile data:
