Tonzi: 2005-09-10 12:30:00 (DOY 253)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others:


When: Date: Sep. 10, 2005 , Day: 253 , Watch Time: 12:30 .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan
Weather: Clear, nice breeze, 70oF
Phenology: dead grass, oak leaves looks healthy and green, but there are some yellow/brown spots on the leaves. It is easy to fall down when I touch them.

Summary
  1. Flux systems works very well. Three Licor-7500s are swapped. I downloaded data.
  2. The rope was not rolled properly. One end of the rope was all the way up to the top. One holder of the tower was lying on the ground.
  3. Soil CO2 profile system: the readings from the datalogger shows that the second temperature (4cm) of East site (under tree‌) didn’t work, -9999.
  4. Tower CO2 profile system: pump works well.
  5. Oak samples in Tonzi are collected for leaf area and nitrogen measurement. I also collect some leaf samples for Mattias’ light transmission measurement.
  6. Alexander’s isotope samples. Done.
  7. Soil moisture: tope 10 cm is very very dry.
  8. Dendrometer. Done.


Vaira_Grass Site
  1. Fence and gate power: >12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 13.1 v; 4.0 amps; 1.8 amps.
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)

  1. Remove SN# 35 ; install SN# 41 .
  2. Readings are OK after swapping.
  3. Check CR23X with two multiplexers

Sys_vot = 2.4
PC_start = 1.22
  1. Check levels of Radiation sensors, clear up surfaces.

9. Closed gate and set up fence.

Tonzi_Tower Site

  1. Fence and gate power: >12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 13.5 v; 0.0 amps; 5.5 amps.
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)

  1. close gate and set up fence.


Toniz_Floor Site
  1. Fence and gate power: ~6-7 v.
