Summary: Sampled 5 corn plants from within the flux footprint. Took LAI measurements using both the one-wand and two-wand method.

I arrived at BC around 9am. Sky conditions were sunny and clear all day.

I took LAI measurements using the one-wand and two-wand method, but only took one round of scattering measurements because sky conditions did not change.

Two patches of corn appeared distinctly different from the rest of the field. To the south of the tower some of the plants appeared more spiky, with curled leaves. Directly in front of the tower (Where the chambers are sampling) appeared substantially shorter with more "stringy" looking leaves. They are quite close to the base of the tower, and I believe their signal is outside the BC flux footprint.

I sampled 5 corn plants from within the footprint, avoiding these unrepresentative sections.

I left around 12pm.
