Author: Siyan Ma
Others: Joe. Miriam Johnston

Summary: Very wet, fixed Tower power, swapped Floor 7500, Standard field work, cut down dead tree by tower guy wires.

When: Date: 1/17/2017 , Day: 17 , Watch Time: 10:30 am .

Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch

Who: Siyan, Joe, Miriam

Weather: cloudy

Phenology: Tonzi pond looked full, almost to the level of the winter of Year 2005.

Summary

  1. Joe disconnected four dying batteries at the Tower to fix the power issue.
  2. Joe fixed the windows of the up-warding cameras.
  3. Joe swapped memory cards of CR1000s at three sites.
  4. Joe checked and downloaded phenocam images.
  5. Joe checked Floor IRGA, and I helped to swap a new calibrated one (sn 0418 on, sn 0073 off).
  6. Checked the soil CO2 probes at Tonzi and Vaira
  7. Read dendrometers
  8. Measured soil moisture
  9. Measure groundwater well
  10. Spectrum of Vaira grassland
  11. Download IRT data
  12. Download well data at Floor well

Vaira_Grass Site
