Summary: Checked on soil CO2 system, main solar batteries and fixed cow fence.

Vaira
2016-01-20

I arrived about 1pm with Siyan. We have had several days of heavy rain, but today is mostly sunny and warm. The land all around is very green with new grass. There are lots of puddles and running water in the low spots. The water hole is almost completely full.

I looked at the soil co2 system. The broken cable was labeled 8cm and the other disturbed probe was from the location labeled 2cm. The 4cm is still in place. I removed the broken cable. I think all the probes need calibration and a reset with better mounting.

I also checked on the main solar batteries. The residue in the east box may just be baking soda. The batteries are Maxrate MR12-350, Dynasty UPS brand and have dates of September and October of 2005.

The cow fence was shorted to the barbed wire on the east side of the fence.

The four band radiometer with Hobo data logger that someone strapped to the tower long ago was falling off. I put it back on but need to find who it belongs to and remove it.
