Summary: Standard field work, grasses mostly dead.

Vaira
2016-05-26

I arrived about 10:00 with Siyan. It was warm, sunny and clear with a breeze from the west. The grass is mostly dead, but there seems to be a peppering of green grasses mixed in with the dead like a second batch came up later. The puddles in the road were dry but the water hole was still full.

I collected the data from the tower and cleaned the radiation sensors. I knocked down the grass in front of the solar panels.

Siyan did soil moisture, clip plots and spectral measurements.
