Tonzi: 2018-02-07 09:00:00 (DOY 38)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others: Daphne, Joe

Summary: Unusually warm and sunny, missing images, new Tower co2 profile, new well sensor, clip plots, IRT tripod down - fixed.

When: Date: 2/7/2018 , Day: 38 , Watch Time: 9:00 am .

Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch

Who: Siyan, Joe, Daphne

Weather: clear, sunny

Phenology: unusually warmer and sunny; Vaira small pond was full (probably indicating that snow melting starts to make up the ground water; the depth of groundwater increased ~ 1 foot since Jan.)

Summary

Swapped memory sticks of Licor-7500A for TZ floor (Daphne did for Tower and Vaira).
Checked and downloaded phenocam images at Vaira (power connection broke - fixed)
Downloaded met data at three sites (Daphne did for Tower and Vaira; I did for TZ floor).
Joe and Daphne set the new CO2 probes running at Tonzi tower
Read dendrometers
Measured soil moisture
Measure groundwater well and download GlobalWater data. I mistakenly clicked the clear history button before downloading the data. Joe installed a new sensor
Measured grass height at Vaira (Daphne)
Collect grass samples for LAI
Spectrum of Vaira grassland
Download IRT data (the tripod was lying on the ground; one leg broken; Joe fixed it.)
