Summary: Swapped 7500, reinstalled Vaisala CO2 probes, photos from UC equipment inventory. Nice day.

2016-02-23

I arrived about 9:30 with Siyan and Jan. It was clear sunny and warm with little to no wind. The ground is damp, but the puddles on the road have nearly died up. The water hole is full to the brim - fuller than last time. The grass has not grown much more. Siyan remarked that last year’s litter has decreased significantly since her last visit about a month ago.

I swapped the 7500: sn 0041 came off and sn 0976 went on.

I collected data and took photos for UC equipment inventory.

Siyan did soil moisture, clip plots and spectral measurements.

Jan reinstalled the Vaisala CO2 probes. We do not have new mounts or decided on new positions so they went back in pretty much where they were before.
