Tonzi: 2007-05-31 10:00:00 (DOY 151)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others: Dennis, Jessica


When: Date: 5/31/2007 , Day: 151 , Watch Time: 10:00 .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan, DDB, and Jessica
Weather: clear, nice breeze, moist
Phenology: yellow grass, grass died out. Green oak leaves with slight blue. Mr. Tonzi still worked on the new-cut tree. He said the tree probably 3,000 years old because other ~100 years old tree is much smaller than it. Dennis think he may not be right, probably ~300 years old.
Summary
  1. swap Li-7500 on Vaira.
  2. EC system at Vaira and Floor worked well. Data were downloaded.
  3. Tower computer was stuck after I clicked the minimize button of flux window. After I restarted it, it started to reboot itself automatically every 3 minutes. Dennis couldn’t fix it in the field; we took the computer back to the lab.
  4. Dennis worked on the computer this morning, and Tower flux and three-datalogger data were downloaded, but data from data-loggers: CR10_10, CR9, and CR10X7 were not renamed day by day. Ted, could you please take care of this. Thank you.
  5. Dennis notes: (1) Ted, please bring in Fence/ground Rod at Vaira, around Hank generator area. (2) on May 24, Ted has new DLD on Vaira CR23X, but numeric output shows, repeat of Tc soil in 2 columns, no output of NDVI. Column out of file. It is just the DLD Assoc file as *.23x seem OK. (3) Lots of clovers. Good for N‌‌
  6. CR10X12 – Xingyuan’s sap flow – disconnected to Floor computer!!!
  7. grass sample for ANPP at Tonzi and Vaira
  8. oak leaf and branches for N and area
  9. read dendrometer
  10. take spectrometer measurement (Youngryle in Korea)
  11. the wheels of the cart need pump in air.

Vaira_Grass Site
  1. Fence and gate power: >12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 13.7 v; 12.2 amps; 2.0 amps.
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)

  1. downloading data OK
  2. swaping Li-7500 Analyzer. (Remove SN# 65 ; install SN# 41 )
  3. check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors at Vaira. OK
  4. Check MD-9 system connections OK
  5. Check levels of Radiation sensors, clear up surfaces. Done!
  6. Closed gate and set up fence. Yes.

Tonzi_Tower Site

After I restarted it, it started to reboot itself automatically every 3 minutes. Dennis couldn’t fix it in the field; we took the computer back to the lab.
  2. check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors on the tower and the floor. OK
  3. Check calibration cylinders;

CO2 1100 psig; flow 18 psi.
N2 850 psig; flow 20 psi.
Manually calibrate Li-800. Following Ted’s instruction: H:\IoneSavanna_2004\Tower_2004\CO2Profile\LI800_Calibration_Procedure_2Nov04.txt
Is the pump running‌
How to check the CO2 values‌ Click “Ports/Flags” button to see which ports or flags is setting high. Pressure should be less than ambient value. When Flag 8 is high, it may indicate that RRR’s battery is low.
  1. Dennis disconnected CO2 profile system.
  2. close gate and set up fence. Yes.

Toniz_Floor Site
  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 13.6 v; 8.5 amps; 2.0 amps.
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)
