Summary: Soil sample for GSWC and bulk density, Reset clocks - fast by 5min, grass heights

When: Feb 8, 2002
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranches
Who: DDB and T Hehn
Weather: Clear, growing grass, rained previous night, gusts on tower up to 10 m/s. See snow on the Sierras.

Took Moisture Point Soil Measurements and Calibrated them with gravimetric and bulk density sampling.

The solar system was drawing 2.2 amps, 13.7 volts and was charging 16 amps at 1300.

12:57 Reset Clocks on Tower. PC was fast by 5 minutes. Used time on cell phone, which is linked to satellite. Forget the GPS, which we used in the past. Reset clocks on the Campbell data loggers.

13:30 Reset clock on forest floor PC. It was fast by 5 minutes too. Reset data loggers.

Sampled plant matter for leaf area index. Took 3 samples. The grass was quite short.

Took Plant Height measurements. The mean height was 3.88 cm, the std dev was 1.83 cm, took 17 samples.

No cows visible, but they are grazing on the ranch.

No cows visible. Short grass.

Height was 2.66 cm, std dev 0.882 cm, n=12
