When: Date: 2/10/2010 , Day: 41 , Watch Time: 10:00 .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan, DDB, Joe
Weather: nice, partially cloudy day
Phenology: green grasses, no oak leaf yet

Summary
  1. swapped IRGA at Vaira (remove #976; install #41).
  2. Adjust the level of LED sensor at Vaira.
  3. check and download data at Tower, Floor, and Vaira
  4. Aspiring pump for understory Tair wasn’t working.
  5. Didn’t calibrate Li-800 in the field because the CO2 profile system was temporally shut down to save power for running the Tower EC system.
  6. Floor site PC’s clock was ~1day off. Fixed it! But the data files need to be fixed. (See figures at the end of this notes)
  7. collected samples grasses
  8. dendrometers
  9. soil moisture by DDB
  10. groundwater well:

  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 12.7 v; 8.2 amps; 3.6 amps.
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)

Vaira Gill sonic plots screen before downloading data
  1. downloading data
  2. swap Li-7500: remove #976; install #41.
  3. Check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors at Vaira. YES!
  4. Check MD-9 system connections YES!
  5. Check CR23X with two multiplexers

Screen shot of Vaira data logger table
  1. Check levels of Radiation sensors, clear up surfaces.YES!
  2. Check rain gage, make sure not clogged. YES!
  3. Closed gate and set up fence. YES!

Tonzi_Tower Site

  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 14.2 v; 0.0 amps; 2.4 amps.
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)

Tower Gill sonic plots screen before downloading data
  1. downloading data YES!
  2. check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors on the tower and the floor. YES!
  3. Check rain gage, make sure not clogged. YES!
  4. Check calibration cylinders;

CO2 1100 psig; flow 20 psi; 431.25 ppm.
N2 800 psig; flow 20 psi.
Manually calibrate Li-800. Following Ted’s instruction: H:\IoneSavanna_2004\Tower_2004\CO2Profile\LI800_Calibration_Procedure_2Nov04.txt
Is the pump running‌ Joe turned off when he visited last time to save power for running EC system.
No calibration this time.
  1. close gate and set up fence. YES!
