Summary: Standard fieldwork, electric fence shorted - fixed, moisture point probes giving mostly bad numbers
| Vaira 2015-05-20 I arrived about 10:00 with Ana. It was mild and mostly sunny with a breeze from the west. The ground was dry, but looked like there might have been some short, heavy rain. The grass is still mostly green and the water hole is close to full. Ana downloaded the data, cleaned the radiation sensors, measured grass height and did the spectral measurements. We did not do clip plots because the grass was still so green. I was going the test the Moisture Point probes, but forgot the cable I needed, so I just did the Moisture Point measurements. Many of the probes were reporting bad numbers especially for the top two locations. I wondered if the cable or box was having problems, but it seemed to work much better at Tonzi. I’m still waiting for the new cable to show up. The electric fence was shorted to the barbed wire. I straightened it out and replace a broken plastic mount. |
