Summary: A little rain last week, trees turning brown - not so much at Vaira, Cows broke fences at Tonzi, begin new fence at Vaira, CO2 profile needs fixing, swapped Floor 7500.


When: Date: 9/30/2014 , Day: 273 , Watch Time: 9:30am .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan, Joe
Weather: a nice sunny day, dry and hot
Phenology: cows at Tonzi; no grass germination yet after a rain event occurred about a week ago; 80% oak leaves turned into brown; still green oak leaves were hung out there.

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 because the IRGA seemed not to read the zero properly (~233ppm), but CO2 reading was OK. Joe is going to fix it soon.
  4. Joe worked on setting up a new fence at Vaira.
  5. The fences around Floor and Tower were broken when we got there; fixed.
  6. Measured midday water potential of oak leaves (oak leaf ~30 bar)
  7. Read dendrometers
  8. Measured soil moisture
  9. Measure groundwater well

Vaira_Grass Site
  1. Joe worked on setting up a new fence at Vaira.
  2. Downloaded Phenocam images.
  3. Swapped the memory cards of CR1000.
  4. Checked the fans of air temp and relative humidity sensors at Vaira. YES!
  5. Downloaded met and soil CO2 profile data.
