Summary: Soil CO2 23x locked up - reset, CR10X fast rad not responding but might be okay.

Sherman

I arrived about 9:30am. It was cool and overcast with a good wind from the east-southeast. The cows are hanging out in the east end of the field possibly because the west end looks really wet. Much of the pepper weed other summer weeds standing litter has been eaten or beaten down by the cows. Green grass is carpeting much of the ground.

The Soil CO2 CR23x was locked up. It would connect, but wasn’t collecting any data. Cycling to power on the 23x fixed the problem. I chased a black widow of the of the soil CO2 box.

I couldn’t connect to the fast radiation CR10X. This connection has been fussy in the past and I couldn’t find anything physically wrong. I restarted the computer just in case, but no luck.

Everything else seemed okay. I swapped the card on the CR1000 and copied data from the computer.

The tipping bucket was clear and the radiometers looked okay. I need to change the fan in the HMP45 shiled.
