Summary

  1. Fixed Tonzi fence.
  2. The fan for Tair&Rh sensor at Vaira was not working. Need to be repaired.
  3. The tram car was off the track. Put it back to the charging station.
  4. Swapped memory cards of CR1000s at three sites. Everything worked well.
  5. Checked and downloaded winflux and met data from PC at Tower, Floor, and Vaira.
  6. The CO2 profile system was off because the IRGA was testing in the lab.
  7. Checked the soil CO2 probes at Tonzi and Vaira;
  8. Read dendrometers
  9. Measured soil moisture: a pin of the probe at the Tower was broken.
  10. Measured grass height
  11. Measure groundwater well

Vaira_Grass Site

  1. Downloaded Phenocam images.
  2. Swapped Li-7500s. sn 0035 off, sn 0976 on.
