Twitchell Alfalfa: 2015-01-20 14:00:00 (DOY 20)
Author: Patty Oikawa
Others: Joe, Sara

Summary: Moved FD system, normal data collection, soil respiration and spectral measurements

Arrived at 2pm. The sky was finally clear so Sara took spectral and did veg height. She also moved the forced diffusion system about 20cm west — we were worried about covering the same spot of soil for too long of a period. Joe discovered the profile B 8cm probe was disconnected at the box inside the enclosure — he reconnected it and the data started looking OK again. I think this got disconnected during the sheep invasion on 2014/12/10.
I took 6400 measurements — all values were around 2.6-3.2umol m-2 s-1. I need to bring labels next time for the soil collars — the sharpie labels keep fading. I noticed the profile B 2cm thermocouple was out of the soil — I reinstalled it.
Joe downloaded data and noticed that the rodents are continuing to chew wires - TC 7 was reading Inf and other wires look roughed up. Joe replaced the HMP45 fan.

The 7500 read: 584ppm CO2, 1367mmol/m3 H2O, 23.1SS, 16.86C, 101.8kPa
After cleaning water drops of the: 421.2ppm CO2, 481mmol/m3 H2O, 90.2SS.
