When: Date: 4/18/2006 , Day: 108 , Watch Time: 9:25 .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan
Weather: clear, nice breeze, warm but not hot
Phenology: It was very diverse in phenology at Vaira grassland. Stem height increased in some patch (~40%). I even saw some individuals blooming (<10%). The other 50% seemed still on stem splitting stage. At Tonzi, grass height increased, too. I saw yellow and pink followers. Oak trees leaf out 100%.
Summary
  1. EC system was working well at the three sites. Data were downloaded.
  2. Li_7500 at Vaira was swapped.
  3. Three channels of soil CO2 profile system were out of range.
  4. Collected grass sample for LAI and phenology in Tower and Vaira, oak leaves and branches for N
  5. Collected oak woody and grass samples in Tonzi for Alex’s MIBA-US-03. Because previous samples haven’t been analyzed in time, sampling frequency start to be once a month.
  6. Measured soil moisture, dendrometer.
  7. No consine filter was applied in spectrum measurement. The consine corrector of the spectrometer is in order, not arrived yet.

Vaira_Grass Site
  1. Fence and gate power: >12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 13.9 v; 12.6 amps; 2.9 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
  2. swaping Li-7500 Analyzer. (Remove SN# 41 ; install SN# 42 )
  3. check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors at Vaira. Good!
  4. Check MD-9 system connections: BUSY WITH COM
  5. Check levels of Radiation sensors, clear up surfaces.

9. Closed gate and set up fence.

Tonzi_Tower Site

  1. Fence and gate power: >12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 13.5 v; 0.0 amps; 3.0 amps.
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)
