Summary: Standard fieldwork, dry and warm, no phenocam images, made some measurements of tower sensor locations

Daphne and I arrived about 12:00 noon. It was clear, sunny and hot. The pond level is still low and the ground surface is dry. The puddles in the road are now cracked mud. The grass looks yellow. There were cows around the water station.

I collected the eddy and data logger data. I also serviced the z-cams. Daphne did the soil moisture, tree DBH and manual well measurements.

No images were recorded by the phenocam. Iâ€™m not sure what the problem was. The camera was running and had good time. FTP from the camera to the CR1000 worked and the script ran fine. Hopefully it was just bug with the card not getting mounted right the last time.

I also tried to make some measurements of equipment locations with the laser range finder but a lot of the long distances on the tower are beyond its range.

The FLIR is 18.4m above the ground
The CNR is 2.8m S, 0.4mW of the SE corner
The PAR sensors are 2.8m S, 0.3m E of the SE corner
The BF5 is 1.64m S of the SE corner
The SRS reflected sensors are 2.77m S, 10cm E of the SE corner
The HMP45 is 20cm W of the SW corner
The Arable is 0.66m S of the middle of the south edge.

I collected the FD Chamber data but did not clear the memories.

I removed the solar panel from the Road Well post. It has not been used for a long while. The battery there is dropping close to 12V, we should swap it for a lithium rechargeable.

We left at about 2pm.
