Summary: Moved Floor 7500 closer to sonic, Mr Tonzi says fire at Tonzi in 1936, 60" of rain in 1997

When: D206, 2002, July 25
Where: Tonzi/Vaira
Who: DDB

0900 pst arrive at Vaira, mild day, light winds. Fan on T/RH is rattling

Flux system seems aok.

Cows are on the range, but not near the tower. Tried to measure sonic orientation, but GPS was dead. At present North is pointing West.

Checked output of met sensors.

CR10x2. Sensors are on scale and operating, T panel 26 C, batt v 12.9

Cr 23 x3. Tair 24, Rh 38%

Downloaded data and rebooted pc.

Need to move the Licor closer to the sonic.

9:39 system back and running

Brought soft cloth and water and washed the Rg, Rnet and PAR sensors. There was dust on them.

We need a permanent step ladder at this site. Something to buy next time out.

Talked to Mr Tonzi about year to year variability of rain. 60 inches 3 years before we started!

Went back to Vaira with tools and moisture point ~12:00

Distance from center to center of sonic and IRGA was 40 cm. Moved the LICOR closer so the distance is now 28 cm.

No dvm at the site. We need one there.
