Summary: Collected data, spectra, moisture point. Some met channels seem bad.

Varia
2/3/2011

I arrived about 11:15. There were some high thin clouds, but otherwise warm and sunny. There was a light breeze from the southwest. The field is still a mix of last year’s little and new green grass and herbs. No leaves on the trees.

The solar system seemed okay: 13.9V, 16.4A solar, 3.0A load with screen.

The computer only has 3.2 GB free and has data retained from 2006. Need a big drive to move some of that off.

I collected data. The met data looked strange. Par out, Tair, RH, pressure, CG out and NIR out all seemed to have bad numbers. No obvious problems with the hardware. I need to check the data.

I measured the moisture points:
7933FDE 39.9 29.8 39.6 41.4 Original between tower and solar
39.9 31.9 39.6 41.4
128B97F3 27.0 30.4 11.7 31.7 New by solar panels
27.3 30.7 10.3 30.8
128B7B90 7.7 15.8 29.6 23.6 New by gate
3.9 10.1 23.7 19.3
128BDDE8 4.5 10.0 30.7 33.1 New in biomass cage
4.5 9.7 29.3 33.7

I took six spectra.

Radiometers and tipping bucket okay.

I left for Tonzi about 12:00
