Summary: Installed cow fence around power pole, swapped computer, standard field work.

Sherman
4/13/2011

I arrived about 10:30 with Jaclyn and Gavin. Scatter rain showers giving way to a sunny break in the clouds. The wind was from the southwest but shifting to the west. The water in the ditch along the road was as low as I have ever seen it. Peperweed in the field is 10 to 20cm high. Inside the cow fence it is about 50cm and the grass is almost as high.

The computer seemed to be locked up. On restart it crashed again. I pulled it out and swapped in another. I got the web cam, the cr10x1_met and cr1000 setup on it, but I did not get the fast radiation setup. The diffuse is being pulled to the met data set so only missing data is the 2sec radiation.

I setup a cow fence around the power pole using and old shocker from Kevin’s site at Tonzi. It still needs some work – a new battery and one fence post need to be pulled and replaced. We’ll see if it works next week.

We pulled one of the Vaisala soil probes, but forgot the filter enclosure for more response testing in the lab.
