Vaira: 2015-11-20 10:00:00 (DOY 324)
Author: Joe Verfaillie
Others: Siyan

Summary: Added fence posts, dug up Peltier SHF plates - two removed, RPi would not reboot - card brought in.

Vaira 2015-11-20 I arrived about 10:00 with Siyan. It was mild, clear and sunny with a little bit of haze. The grass doesn’t seem much different from last time. The puddles in the road have nearly completely dried up and the ground surface looks dry. I don’t think there was much rain here from the last storm. The biomass cage has been moved since last time. I added five new fence posts and reset one of the old fence posts to the cow fence at Vaira’s request. The fence does look better, but it could use a couple more longer insulated standoffs for the electric wire. I dug up the Peltier soil heat flux plates. One sn P03 had been chewed by a gopher and the other sn P04 had a broken wire where the wire had corroded at a small break in its insulation. I removed these two sensors and might be able to repair them in the lab. Next time out we need to check the depths and reset the thermocouples. Siyan collected data, did soil moisture and spectral measurements. The Raspberry Pi was being slow and would not restart. It seems like there is a bad spot on the memory card. We brought the memory card in. There will be no phenocam images recorded until we replace the card.
