Tonzi: 2020-08-26 09:30:00 (DOY 239)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others: Joe, Gerardo JPL

Summary: Standard field work, 80% trees brown - super early, missed midday water potential due to tank issues

When: Date: 8/26/2020 , Day: 239 , Watch Time: 9:30 am .

Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch

Who: Siyan, Joe

Weather: clear, sunny, smoke from wildfire

Phenology: 80% of Oak leaves are brown; the earliest date of senescence since site established; almost all leaves of individual trees are torched; may check heat wave last week

Summary

  1. See Joe’s notes on equipment maintenance and data downloading
  2. Read dendrometers
  3. Measured soil moisture
  4. Measure groundwater well

5. Joe put a new tank (pressed air) at Tonzi for leaf water potential; the connection head size not matched; reported to Joe for a double check
