Twitchell Rice: 2011-06-02 12:45:00 (DOY 153)
Author: Jaclyn Hatala
Others: Dennis, Jose

Summary: Replaced DO sensor fluid and cleaned membrane, took LAI-2000, clip plots, and spectral reflectance measurements.

Arrived at Twitchell rice paddy around 9:30am. Winds light from the east/southeast. Field is dry, and rice plants are about 6cm above the soil surface.

Jaclyn replaced the DO sensor electrolyte fluid and cleaned the membrane. There was lots of salty semi-solid crud inside of the sensor, although the readings did not seem compromised (sensor read atmospheric). Tried to calibrate the LGR, but the keyboard and mouse weren't working.

Jose and Dennis collected field spectral reflectance measurements. Jose collected data along the LAI-2000 transect and clip plots for LAI/biomass measurement back in the lab.
