Summary: Regular data collection/cleaning, swapped 7500 for calibration

Bouldin Alfalfa

Dennis and I arrived around 12:00 PST (13:00 PDT). It was warm, sunny, and breezy. There were thunderclouds over the Sierras, but otherwise there were no clouds in the sky. The alfalfa is flowering.

I downloaded met, cam, USB GHG, and FD data. Dennis did veg height and spectral data. I lost our usual 2GB SD card, so I used a larger microSD card with a card converter, but no data was on the card. Joe said that the jaz can only take 2GB cards.

I swapped the LI-7500A for calibration: sn 0065 came off and sn 75H-2667 went on. I uploaded a new configuration file and updated the pressure coefficients. All looked ok.

old 0065 read: 413ppm CO2, 858mmol/m3 H2O, 34.7C, 100.8kPa, 102SS
fresh 75H-2667 read: 415ppm CO2, 805mmol/m3 H2O, 35.3C, 100.8kPa, 96SS

We left at 12:25 PST (13:25 PDT).
