Summary: Grass has sprouted, collected FD data, keyboard failing on compute stick, stardot clock set to zero again, swapped 7500 head, collected pond data

2017-11-29

Siyan and I arrived at about 10am. It was clear sunny and cool with a light breeze from the southeast. The grass has sprouted and is about 4cm high. There was water in the water hole and puddles on the road. Some of the trees still have a few leaves, but looks much more like winter.

I swapped out the 4cm CO2 probe on the East profile: sn K1310102 was removed and sn L2010067 was installed. The probe that was removed had calibrated okay in the field but started giving erratic values. I started to calibrate the profile with the new probe but discovered that I did not have the calibration program for the CR10x. I will have to do it another time.

I collected the data from the FD chambers. Next time we should clear the data after collecting.

We swapped the 7500 head
Off sn 75H-2514: 424.9ppm CO2, 582.0mmol/m3 H2O, 17.8C, 100.2kPa, 102.0SS
On sn 0065: 435.7ppm CO2, 463.5mmol/m3 H2O, 17.2C, 100.2kPa, 101.4SS

Big change in H2O, but I feel that the new values are better.

The Phenocam clock got reset again. When it read 2000-01-22 9:18:00 I reset it to 2017-11-29 10:44:26. I need to take the Phenocam off the relay and leave it power 24/7.

The keyboard on the computer seems to be disconnecting. Initially I could not get the computer to wake up and did a hard restart. Then while I was changing the Stardot time the mouse and keyboard stopped responding. After another restart they quit again but the computer seemed to be running okay so I left it.

We collected data from the Pond. The water level has come up about two feet to 15.10ft.
