Summary: Standard fieldwork, lots of cows, cut grass around fence, one Peltier plate not reading.

2015-09-17

I arrived about 9:30 with Ana. It was warm, clear and sunny with a nice breeze. The trees still look mostly green here. No sign of rain – the ground, grass and water hole is dry. Cows came to see if we would feed them.

I collected data and moisture point readings. One of the Peltier heat flux plates was reading INF. I did not get a chance to check it. Ana cleaned the radiation sensors.

Ana cut one pass with the weed eater around the outside of the fence and I cut one pass on the inside of the fence.
