Sherman Island: 2007-06-13 12:00:00 (DOY 164)
Author: Dennis Baldocchi
Others: Matteo Detto

Summary: Changed soil heat flux plate; took spectrometer readings; took TDR soil moisture readings; and downloaded data at Sherman Island.

When: Date: 13 jun 2007 Day: 164 Standard Time: 12:00
Where: Sherman Island - Methane Study
Who: MD & DB
Weather clear sky, light wind
Phenology: tall weed completely in flower, green and dry
Tasks
1. check and download data at Sherman Island
2. Take TDR soil moisture readings
3. Change soil heat flux plate
4. Take spectrometer readings
Sherman Island Pasture Site
1. Fence and gate power: OK
2. Datalogger Solar Panel and Batteries: 12.2
3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)
4. Methane Sensor
a. Cell Pressure (near 159 Torr?): 159.8
b. Cell Temperature: 38.75
c. Double Check
i. Sample rate: 10Hz?: ok
ii. Methane ppm Hi flow:
iii. Methane ppm, low flow (remember to put back in high flow:
iv. Pump status??:____
v. Filter Status:______
vi. Check Water in tube:

5. downloading data
6. If Swapping Li-7500 Analyzer. (Remove SN# ; install SN# )
7. Check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors
8. Check MD-9 system connections
9. Check CR23X with two multiplexers and sensor values
10. Check levels of Radiation sensors, clear up surfaces.
Closed gate and set up fence.

Other Notes:

• Replace heat flux plate sn 000142 with sn 00245, cal. factor 61.5 V W-1 m-2
• Try to download CH4 data, but got task error
• The file.crx10 were not created, PC208W was not open, I collected all to retrieve the data
• Water table depth was 3ft 8 tenth from the top of the tube = 67.56 cm
• A lof of pincher bugs intrusion in the Datalogger box

Remember next time to:
• Filter for pressure sensor in the datalogger box
• Products for bugs
• Wet tissues for cleaning instruments
