Tonzi: 2011-03-30 00:00:00 (DOY 89)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others: Joe

Summary: tree leaf start coming out

Nice weather, partially cloudy
See cows on the far slope of Vaira, stinky smell
tree leaf out, Tonzi <1%, Vaira<10%, but see a lot of tree leaf out by the side of road
At Tonzi, see wild followers: yellow, purple, white

Vaira:
1. Swap Li7500, install #0418, remove #065.
2. Download data (Joe).
3. Clean up surfaces of radiation sensors.
4. Check rain gauge, clean up bird crap.
5. Soil moisture TDR profile: the probes near gate and the biomass fence still gave unreasonable readings, much lower than other probes.

Tonzi-Tower:
1. Download data
2. Joe checked the CO2 profile and fixed problems, calibrated LI820 manually. CO2 tank 1400psi, N2 tank 500psi.
3. Swap Li7500, install #041, remove #0976.
4. Rain gauge has been moved to the open area of soil CO2 profile and connected to CR5X.
5. Readings of soil CO2 profile:
6. Open: 3610, 2330, 2810, 1250
7. Tree: 5060, 8820, 6440, 2.33%

Data collected:
1. Soil moisture profile: very moist, 30 – 40%
2. Dendrometer
3. groundwater: 10 – 19 ft
