Summary

  1. Swapped IRGA of Floor site
  2. Swapped memory cards of CR1000s at three sites. Everything worked well.

3. Checked and downloaded data from PC at Tower, Floor, and Vaira. Tower PC was frozon when I got there. I restarted it, and then it worked well.

  1. Couldn’t calibrated the CO2 profile system because the reading of IRGA was supper unstable, from -50 ppm to 3800? ppm
  2. Read dendrometers
  3. Measured soil moisture
  4. Measure groundwater well
  5. Download wind profile and IRT data

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. YES!
  4. Downloaded met and soil CO2 profile data:

  1. Checked levels of Radiation sensors, clear up surfaces. YES!
  2. Checked rain gage, make sure not clogged. YES!
  3. Closed gate and set up fence. YES!

Tonzi_Tower Site

  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. downloaded Winflux data from PC. YES!

  1. swapped the memory cards of CR1000.

image008.jpg

  1. download Phenocam images. Yes!
  2. checked the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors on the tower and the floor. YES!
  3. Checked rain gage, make sure not clogged. YES!
  4. Downloaded tram data from PC

  1. Checked CO2 profile:

Tank

CO2 tank, 1200, 405ppm, 0, 18psi

N2, almost empty, 300, 10

Is the pump running? YES, but no calibration performed at the site. The reading of IRGA went weird. Data may lost.

9. closed gate and set up fence. YES!

Toniz_Floor Site

  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Swapped Li-7500s. sn 0073 off sn 0042 on.
  3. downloaded Winflux data from PC. YES!

  1. Swapped the memory cards of CR1000.

image013.jpg

  1. downloaded met data from PC. YES!

CR23X3 – floor-Met

CR23X6 – tower-Met

CR10X2 – floor-Met

Soil CO2 profile: CR23X5 – soil CO2 profile
