Tonzi: 2014-04-22 05:45:00 (DOY 112)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others: Joe

Summary: Predawn water potential, standard field work, tower co2 profile broken - fixed, tram broken - not fixed, moved co2 probes at Vaira


When: Date: 4/22/2014 , Day: 11 , Watch Time: 5:45 am .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan, Joe
Weather: partially cloudy, a perfect spring day
Phenology: Partially cloudy, windy in the morning; No dew on grasses; Grass stem growth at Tonzi, grain-filling at Vaira; Good moisture at deep layer.

Green grass at oak SavannaGreen grass, well and well gauge at TonziTall grasses turning brown at VairaGreen pastrue and pretty clouds

Summary
  1. Joe swapped memory cards of CR1000s at three sites and downloaded data at Vaira.
  2. Checked and downloaded winflux and met data from PC at Tower and Floor.
  3. Joe fixed the CO2 profile system and calibrated it.
  4. Checked the soil CO2 probes at Tonzi and Vaira; relocated probes at Vaira-west and north profiles
  5. Measured pre-dawn water potential.
  6. Read dendrometers
  7. Measured soil moisture
  8. Measured grass height
  9. Measure groundwater well
