Tonzi: 2007-06-23 15:30:00 (DOY 174)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others: Youngryel


When: Date: 6/23/2007 , Day: 174 , Watch Time: 3:30pm .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan, Youngryel
Weather: clear
Phenology: yellow grass, green tree
Summary
  1. swap Li-7500 on Tower and Floor
  2. Tower EC system worked well. The screen showed “no signal”. Have talked with Ted about this. He recommended not restarting computer. Click “shift” once, then the screen will work fine.
  3. The pump of CO2 profile failed. Notice Ted already.
  4. correct PC and datalogger time with Cell Phone at floor sites, about 1 minute off.
  5. soil moisture and dendrometer measurement. Done.
  6. Help Youngryel sending 1hz tram program into the datalogger.
  7. Help Youngryel take tree LAI measurement using LAI-2000 with two sets of sensors. Did two-sensor comparison before and after sunset. One set was placed on the top of tower, and the other was hold by Youngryel to do understory measurement (↑↓↓↓↓). I manually clicked the tower set to match the same pattern (↑↑↑↑↑). We try to know: (1) using 180o mask won’t be different from none mask; (2) reference taken in the open area is not different from that taken on the top of tower. Youngryel took point measurement at each bar of tram station, repeating twice.

Vaira_Grass Site
  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 13.4 v; 8.9 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. didn’t download data (forget where is the memory card.)
  2. check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors at Vaira. Good.
  3. Check MD-9 system connections: Good.
  4. Check levels of Radiation sensors, clear up surfaces. Done!
  5. Closed gate and set up fence. Yes.

Tonzi_Tower Site

  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 13.4 v; 0.0 amps; 4.1 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. didn’t download data (forget where is the memory card.)
  2. swaping Li-7500 Analyzer. (Remove SN# 976 ; install SN# 35 )
  3. check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors on the tower and the floor.
  4. Check calibration cylinders;

CO2 1100 psig; flow 20 psi.
N2 800 psig; flow 20 psi. (It may be low!)
Manually calibrate Li-800. Following Ted’s instruction: H:\IoneSavanna_2004\Tower_2004\CO2Profile\LI800_Calibration_Procedure_2Nov04.txt
Is the pump running‌ No!!!! (Ted visited Tonzi today (Jun. 26, 2007).)
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. close gate and set up fence. Yes.

Toniz_Floor Site
  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 12.8 v; 1.5 amps; 2.1 amps.
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)
