Twitchell Alfalfa: 2015-01-07 13:00:00 (DOY 7)

Summary: Swapped 7500. Downloaded data. Ants in soil CO2 box.

Alfalfa
2015-01-07

We arrived at around 13:00 PST. The road to the field was still flooded so like last week we drove along the edge of the field to the tower. The vegetation was still quite short (between ~2-5cm).

Dennis made soil CO2 measurements while I downloaded data and swapped the 7500 (removed sn 75H-2182, installed sn 75H-2176). We also made spectral measurements.

Didn't replace the HMP60 fan - should make sure to do that next time.

There were a ton of ants in the soil CO2 box. Cove and Joe went back later in the afternoon to install ant traps (good thing they did since I had a forgetful moment while I was there early…..).

The met and soil CO2 data looked good expect for FD temperature 2 which read –INF.

7500 readings:
CO2 = 429 ppm before swap (424 after swap)
H2O = 498 mmol m-3 before swap (477 after swap)
signal strength = 80% before swap (89% after swap)
p = 102 kPa
t = 19 C

Cleaned rad.
Met looked good.
