Summary: Standard fieldwork, reset Phenocam clock, cleaned weeds from solar panels.

Vaira
2014-04-22

I arrived about 9am with Siyan. It was cool and mostly sunny with a nice breeze from the south west. The grass looks much more vigorous than I expected. It is dense and nearly waist high in places. The abundance of wild flowers looks normal.

I downloaded data while Siyan did the normal fieldwork. The Phenocam clock was about 10 minutes ahead, I reset it. The CR1000 was about 2min ahead, reset as well.

I cleared weeds from the bottom of the solar panels. It still would be nice to get the bottoms out of the dirt. I should bring some boardwalks from Tonzi to boost them up.

We returned to Tonzi about 10:30.
