Vaira: 2014-08-21 09:00:00 (DOY 233)
Author: Joe Verfaillie
Others: Siyan

Summary: Standard field work, fixed cow fence, met solar panels not pointed at the sun - fixed.

Vaira 2014-08-21 I arrived about 9am with Siyan. It was clean sunny and warm with little to no breeze. The standing dead grass has been beaten down in paths by cows. The trees still look good. We did the standard field work and Siyan collected biomass samples. I fixed the fence charger. The fence and solar panel had been disconnected and the battery was down to about 5 volts. The old met battery that Siyan swapped out last time was still there and better than 12V. I used it to power the fence and brought in the dead motorcycle battery. The solar panels that charge the met battery were pointing north and down, so we lost about half the met data due to low power. I fixed the solar panel orientations. The dead calf is mostly skin and bones but still smells if you get close. I left a shovel at the site to bury it next time maybe. I cleaned the BF3 diffuse sensor.
