Tonzi: 2011-06-15 11:00:00 (DOY 166)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others: Sunny

Summary: Standard fieldwork, midday water potential.


When: Date: 6/15/2011 , Day: 166 , Watch Time: 11:00 .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan
Weather: the hottest day in this year, nice breeze under trees
Phenology: Vaira grassland still has green patches. It is hard to set the ending data of this season. Grassland at Tonzi has more green area. To me, those still-green plants likely are those germinating much later, e.g., in Jan. or Feb, than the first group. The first group that germinated following the first “big” rainfall in the fall has died out. I talked to Laurie about this, and she didn’t think she noticed such multiple phonological phases in her costal grassland.

Summary
  1. Midday leaf water potential: oak leaf= -20 bar; pin needle=-3 bar.
  2. check and download data at Tower, Floor, and Vaira. Three towers worked well.
  3. calibrate Li-800 in the field.
  4. collected samples of oak leaves and pin needles
  5. dendrometers
  6. soil moisture
  7. groundwater well:

Vaira_Grass Site
  1. Fence and gate power: 12 (but not on) v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: - v; - amps; - amps.
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)

Vaira Gill sonic plots screen before downloading data
  1. downloading data YES!
  2. Check the fans of air temp and relative humidity sensors at Vaira. YES!
  3. Check MD-9 system connections YES!
  4. Check CR23X with two multiplexers

  1. Check levels of Radiation sensors, clear up surfaces.YES!
  2. Check rain gage, make sure not clogged. YES!
  3. Closed gate and set up fence. YES!

Tonzi_Tower Site

  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: - v; - amps; - amps.
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)

Tower Gill sonic plots screen before downloading data
  1. downloading data YES!
  2. check the fans of air temp and relative humidity sensors on the tower and the floor. YES!
  3. Check rain gage, make sure not clogged. YES!
  4. Check calibration cylinders;

CO2 1200 psig; flow 20 psi; 384.08 ppm.
N2 2200 psig; flow 20 psi.
Manually calibrate Li-800. Following Ted’s instruction: H:\IoneSavanna_2004\Tower_2004\CO2Profile\LI800_Calibration_Procedure_2Nov04.txt
Is the pump running‌ Yes.
Before Zero

After zero and span

  1. close gate and set up fence. YES!

Toniz_Floor Site
  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: - v; - amps; - amps. (about 7:00 am local time)
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)

No snap shot, but values looked OK.
  1. downloading data YES!
  2. Check MD-9 system connections Can’t make connection at that moment!
  3. Soil CO2 profile: no power when I got there. I unplug and re-plug fuses, then the system back to work.
