Summary

  1. Swapped memory cards of CR1000s at three sites. The card at Tower is labelled “VR”; the one at Vaira is “TT”.
  2. Swapped Li-7500 at Vaira: sn 0041 on; sn 0976 off;
  3. Tower CR1000 screen froze, but the Winflux showed the sonic good. [Winflux data looks winflux was frozen too]
  4. Checked and downloaded phenocam images and met data from PC at Tower, Floor, and Vaira.
  5. The fan of Vaira Ta&Rh stopped working!!!

  1. calibrated the CO2 profile system
  2. Couldn’t talk to the datalogger of the soil CO2 probes at Tonzi from the PC.
  3. Read dendrometers; Measured soil moisture; Measured grass height
  4. Measure groundwater well
  5. Measure water potential of oak leaves, pine needles, annual grass stems, and broadleaf forb stem; around -10 bar in the midday.
  6. Took spectrum measurements at Vaira
