Tonzi: 2009-02-27 00:00:00 (DOY 58)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others: Joe, Dennis, Hideki, Gretchen


When: Date: 2/27/2009 , Day: 58 , Watch Time: .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan, Joe, Dennis, Hideki, Gretchen
Weather: clear
Phenology: green grass, Mr. Tonzi’s pond had more water after good rains.
Summary
  1. check BOOM at Vaira: Dennis’s GPS - north
  2. checked and downloaded data from Tower, Floor, and Vaira
  3. swapped Li-7500 at the three towers
  4. calibrated Li-800 in the field. Bump reinstalled.
  5. Joe installed gray panel for the phenology camera.
  6. Joe installed “surface temperature” sensor on the tower. Tower met program is changed. Need to adapt to Flux processing program.
  7. collected grass sample for LAI
  8. read dendrometers
  9. Dennis took measurements of soil moisture probes.
  10. spectrometer
  11. camera

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

  1. downloading data YES!
  2. swaping Li-7500 Analyzer. (Remove SN# 73 ; install SN# 418 )
  3. check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors on the tower and the floor. YES!
  4. Check rain gage, make sure not clogged. YES!
  5. Check calibration cylinders;

CO2 2000 psig; flow 20 psi. (New tank: 431.25ppm)
N2 psig; flow psi.
Manually calibrate Li-800. Following Ted’s instruction: YES!
H:\IoneSavanna_2004\Tower_2004\CO2Profile\LI800_Calibration_Procedure_2Nov04.txt
Is the pump running‌ Fixed and reinstalled by Joe.
How to check the CO2 values‌ Click “Ports/Flags” button to see which ports or flags is setting high. Pressure should be less than ambient value. When Flag 8 is high, it may indicate that RRR’s battery is low.
  1. close gate and set up fence. YES!
