Tonzi: 2014-11-26 09:40:00 (DOY 330)
Author: Siyan Ma

Summary: Grass germinated, still oak leaves at Vaira, fixed Tonzi tower fence, no 7500 analog data at Floor - digital okay, standard field work.


When: Date: 11/26/2014 , Day: 330 , Watch Time: 9:40 am .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan
Weather: clear, sunny
Phenology: grasses germinated; oak leaves still on at Vaira; no cows at both sites; met Mr. Tonzi’s family members; they went out to cut trees, driving Mr. Tonzi’s red car.

Summary
  1. Fixed the fence of the Tonzi tower.
  2. Swapped memory cards of CR1000s at three sites.
  3. Checked and downloaded winflux and found problems at the Floor site: the Licor-7500 box didn’t connect to the PC properly when I got there. The CO2 and H2O channel gave bad readings. After I did dis- and re-connection, the readings went to normal.
  4. downloaded met data from PC at Tower, Floor, and Vaira.
  5. Calibrated the CO2 profile system.
  6. Read dendrometers
  7. Measured soil moisture
  8. Measured grass height
  9. Measure groundwater well

Vaira_Grass Site
  1. Bar-wire fence.
  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:
