Tonzi: 2012-03-02 11:00:00 (DOY 62)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others: Sonia, Matthias

Summary: Sonia and Matthias choose location for LIDAR, cows in Viara cow fence, diffuse radiations stablized, 3rd soil co2 profile installed at Tonzi.

When: Date: 3/2/2012 , Day: 62 , Watch Time: 11:00 am .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan, Sonia, and Matthias
Weather: clear, sunny
Phenology: grasses looked greener; lots of dry litters in fenced areas; no oak leaves yet

Tonzi:


Vaira:


Summary
  1. Sonia and Matthias came along to find locations for install their LIDAR experiment.
  2. Cows went into the inside of the fence at Vaira. Diffusion radiation sensor needs to be stabilized and leveled. See the photos. Matthias and Sonia helped to fix it temporarily in the field.
  3. The third set of soil CO2 profile system was install at Tonzi on Feb. 23, 2012. The set includes one enclosure, 1 CR10X datalogger, 3 transmitters, 3 Vaisala CO2 probes, and 3 thermal couples (see the photo above). The wire for 24v was connected to the power regulator in the enclosure under the tree; the other wire was connected to the battery of the fence for 12v.
  4. checked and downloaded data at Tower, Floor, and Vaira
  5. Calibrated Li-800 in the field.
  6. Read dendrometers
  7. Measured soil moisture
  8. Measure groundwater well:

  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.)

  1. downloading data
  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. Soil CO2 profile system: set COM1 and talked to the datalogger from the PC.

  1. Check levels of Radiation sensors, clear up surfaces.YES! But…

Cows went into the inside of the fence at Vaira. Fence seems working. Diffusion radiation sensor needs to be stabilized and leveled. See the photos. Matthias and Sonia helped to fix it temporarily in the field.
  1. Check rain gage, make sure not clogged. YES!
  2. 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.)


  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 1600 psig; flow 20 psi; 421.63 ppm.
N2 2100 psig; flow 20 psi.
Manually calibrate Li-800. Following Ted’s instruction: H:IoneSavanna_2004Tower_2004CO2ProfileLI800_Calibration_Procedure_2Nov04.txt
Is the pump running‌ YES, but paused once in a while

  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.)

  1. downloading data YES!
  2. Check MD-9 system connections YES!

The third set of soil CO2 profile system – Tree2: installed near Liukang’s tree at Tonzi site on Feb. 23, 2012.
The set includes one enclosure, 1 CR10X datalogger, 3 transmitters, 3 Vaisala CO2 probes, and 3 thermal couples (see the photo above). The wire for 24v was connected to the power regulator in the enclosure under the tree; the other wire was connected to the battery of the fence for 12v.
