Vaira: 2015-05-06 10:30:00 (DOY 126)
Author: Joe Verfaillie
Others: Siyan, Dennis, Ana

Summary: Standard fieldwork, swapped broken HMP45 fan, removed old, unused solar panels.

2014-05-06

I arrived about 10:30 with Siyan, Dennis and Ana. It was a beautiful, sunny day with a nice breeze. The grass is still green in the low spots but the ground is dry. The water hole still is full.

Dennis did grass height and Moisture Point. Ana did clip plots and cleaned the radiometers and camera window. Siyan downloaded the data and did spectral measurements.

I swapped the fan on the HMP45 and cleaned weeds from around the base of the solar panels. I removes two small solar panels that used to power the CR23X.

The CR1000 card took a little long to format.
