Summary: Standard fieldwork, checked clocks.

2016-06-16

I arrived about 10:00am with Dennis and Siyan. It was clear, sunny and mild with a nice breeze. The grasses are dead except for a few low spots. The water hole still has water but the level is beginning to drop.

I collected the data from the tower. The clocks were off by a few minutes and I reset them all.

Siyan did the soil moisture and Dennis did veg height, cleaned the radiation sensors and measured sensor heights.

Veg Height (cm): Tape measure from ground to top of plant - Outside fenced area - grazed
