Summary: Collected USB data, replaced camera ethernet cable and HMP fan power cable, wrapped split-loom conduit on cables on scaffolding

Twitchell Alfalfa

We arrived at 11:30. It was clear, sunny, and breezy. Sheep fences are set up on the western part of the alfalfa field, but no sheep yet.

I collected the USB GHG data, which had BC data from 2017-10-26 to 2017-11-10, and TA data from 2017-11-10 to 2017-11-27. I had forgotten to move the BC files to the laptop last time we were in the field.

I replaced the camera ethernet cable. We could only sporadically telnet into the camera, but it was recording photos when we left. I'm not sure why the camera was not recording photos before, because I was able to connect to the camera through StarDot Tools before replacing the camera ethernet cable, and we did not make any changes to the ftp scripts.

We changed the IP address of the CR1000 from 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.100.

Joe replaced the HMP fan power cable and wrapped split-loom conduit around all the cables on the scaffolding. We didn't see many squirrels today in the field, maybe because it was wet. The ultrasonic rodent repellent was not working when we left (power might be wired incorrectly), but we didn't fix it since it didn't seem to be repelling the squirrels anyways.

LI-7500 readings:
CO2 396.3 ppm
H2O 541.2 mmol/m3
T 16.9 C
P 102.1 kPa
SS 98.4

The grey multimeter needs a new battery.

We left at 13:20.
