Tonzi: 2006-05-04 09:10:00 (DOY 124)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others:


When: Date: 5/4/2006 , Day: 124 , Watch Time: 9:10am .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan
Weather: partially cloud (<5%)
Phenology: very heterogeneous. At Vaira, 80% grass on heading and seeding stages, but some late geminated grasses were still in leaf growth. See a lot of clover under the tall grasses (~50cm high). At Tonzi, phenology seems delayed. See heading and seeding, yellow and white followers, also see broad-leaf herbs dominated in wetter and lower area. Oak leaves looked much bigger than they were last year.
Summary
  1. Walking stick is very useful.
  2. EC systems worked well. I swapped Li-7500 at Tower and Floor, and download data at Tower, Floor, and Vaira
  3. Fans of Tair and Rh sensor on the tower was failed. (already notice Ted).
  4. Filenames in Tower computer is 1 day ahead. (already notice Ted).
  5. Change the battery of radiation transect. Worked very well.
  6. soil CO2 profile system back to ranges.
  7. collect grass sample for LAI and phenology in Tower and Vaira, oak branches for N.
  8. MIBA samples were not collected this time.
  9. measured soil moisture, dendrometer, and spectrometer. Soil moisture dropped to 10% on the surface at Vaira; ~ 20-30% at Tonzi.

Vaira_Grass Site
  1. Fence and gate power: >12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 13.8 v; 10.8 amps; 1.9 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. check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors at Vaira. Good.
  3. Check MD-9 system connections: BUSY WITH COM
  4. Check CR23X with two multiplexers

Sys_vot = not able to read because BUSY WITH COM

  1. 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: 14.2 v; 0.0 amps; 3.4 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# 73 )
  3. check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors on the tower and the floor. Failed!!!
  4. Check calibration cylinders; STILL in LAB.

CO2 psig; flow psi.
N2 psig; flow psi.
Manually calibrate Li-800. Following Ted’s instruction: H:\IoneSavanna_2004\Tower_2004\CO2Profile\LI800_Calibration_Procedure_2Nov04.txt
Is the pump running‌
  1. close gate and set up fence.

Toniz_Floor Site
