Tonzi: 2015-05-06 10:00:00 (DOY 126)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others: Joe, Dennis, Ana

Summary: Standard fieldwork, Joe worked on Tower sonic, Dennis fixed soil CO2 power, midday water potential, fixed Vaira HMP45 fan

When: Date: 5/6/2015 , Day: , Watch Time: 10:00 am .

Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch

Who: Siyan, Dennis, Joe, and Ana

Weather: clear, sunny

Phenology: grasses still green but almost done; a lot of yellow flowers; deep layer soil moisture good; the small pond at Vaira full of water

Yellow wild flowersDirt road through oak savanna

Solar panels, grass and fence at VairaTall grass gone to seed

Summary

  1. Swapped memory cards of CR1000s at three sites.
  2. Joe checked the sonic at the Tower. PC’s clock was about 10 minutes faster.
  3. Checked and downloaded winflux and met data from PC at Tower and Floor.
  4. Checked and downloaded met and soil CO2 profile data at Vaira.
  5. calibrated the CO2 profile system
  6. Dennis and Joe fixed the power issue of soil CO2 profile system at Tonzi.
  7. Read dendrometers
  8. Measured soil moisture
  9. Measured grass height at Vaira (by Dennis)
  10. Measure groundwater well
  11. Measured midday water potentials of oak leaves, pine needles, broadleaf forbs, and annual grasses.

Vaira_Grass Site

  1. Downloaded Phenocam images.
  2. Swapped the memory cards of CR1000.
  3. Checked the fans of air temp and relative humidity sensors at Vaira. Joe fixed the fan.
  4. Downloaded met and soil CO2 profile data:
