Twitchell Alfalfa: 2017-04-27 10:35:00 (DOY 117)

Summary: Regular data collection/cleaning, veg height

2017-04-27
Twitchell Alfalfa

We arrived at 10:35. It was mostly sunny and breezy. The alfalfa are taller than before so it looks more dominant than the grass. Previously, it looked like a mix of alfalfa and grass, and now it looks like mostly alfalfa.

Sam took soil respiration measurements. We cleaned the radiation and 7500 sensors. I took veg height measurements, which were a mix of alfalfa and grass.

I collected the met, soil CO2 and USB GHG data and swapped the camera card. LED sensors have intermittent NANs. LED(1) is about half NANs. I checked the mux wiring and the sensor cables and they look okay.

LI7500 readings:
CO2 398.5 umol/mol
H2O 486.9 mmol/m3
T 19.1 Celsius
P 101.8 kPa
SS 90.6 -> 92.3 after cleaning

We left at 11:05.
