Tonzi: 2012-01-04 09:30:00 (DOY 4)
Author: Siyan Ma

Summary: Grasses look stressed by dryness, bird droppings on Tonzi Tower 7500, tower hmp45 fan dead, tram not moving.


Pond When: Date: 1/4/2012 , Day: 4 , Watch Time: 9:30 am .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan
Weather: clear, perfect temperature for outdoor. Saw Mr. Tonzi.
Phenology: grass experiences a dry winter; ~30% grass leaves turned into yellow due to the drought; grasses at Vaira looked stronger and showed dark red color on the edges, probably due to the drought too.

Problems:
  1. Bird craps on the Li-7500 at the Tonzi tower again.
  2. the fan for Ta&RH sensor on the top of Tower was not running.
  3. IRGA for CO2 profile system was still in the lab.
  4. Tram system did not move when I was there.


Summary
  1. checked and downloaded data at Tower, Floor, and Vaira
  2. Swapped Li-7500 at Vaira.
  3. Collected grass samples for LAI
  4. Read dendrometers
  5. Measured soil moisture
  6. Measure groundwater well:
