Summary: Swapped 7500s, standard data collection, swapped soil co2 solar batteries, missed downloading Floor well, midday water potential

Siyan and I arrived at about 11:30. It was clear and hot with a nice breeze. The trees look happy but the ground and grass are very crispy.

I swapped the 7500 for calibration
Tower
sn 1594 off: 399.8ppm CO2, 751.5mmol/m3 H2O, 28.6C, 98.3kPa, 97.4SS
sn 0065 on: 412.8ppm CO2, 705.4mmol/m3 H2O, 29.5C, 98.3kPa, 101.5

Floor
sn 75H-2514 off: 416.3ppm CO2, 707.0mmol/m3 H2O, 31.8C, 98.5kPa, 84.9SS
sn 75H-2180 on: 420.4ppm CO2, 720.5mmol/m3 H2O, 31.9C, 98.5kPa, 101.3SS

The FLIR photos did not get renamed and moved to the USB drive but otherwise all seemed well.

I replaced the batteries on the soil co2 solar battery bank sn BB-TZ_soilco2. This system has been losing power overnight for about two months. We tried to add a pair of batteries and then remove a weaker pair but nothing helped. Six old weak batteries were brought back to the lab and four new Duracell deep cycle flooded group 27 batteries were installed in pairs for a 24V system.

I missed downloading the Floor well data.

Siyan did soil moisture, wells, DBH, collected the IRT data and did midday water potential.
