Summary: Grass becoming senescent, tree leaves complete, swapped 7500s at Tower and Vaira, data not collected.


When: Date: 5/18/2012 , Day: 139 , Watch Time: 9:00am .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan
Weather: clear and sunny
Phenology: grass became senescent, 10% at Vaira, 20-30% at Tonzi. Oak leaves fully extended.

Summary
  1. Swapped Li-7500 at Vaira and Tower
  2. Checked data at Tower, Floor, and Vaira Three EC systems worked well. (Data were not downloaded this time because I forgot bringing memory stick. I will do it next visiting.)
  3. Calibrate Li-800 in the field. It went well.
  4. Collected grass samples for LAI
  5. dendrometers
  6. soil moisture
  7. spectrometer at Vaira
  8. groundwater well

  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 12.9 v; 7.1 amps; 2.9 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. Check data files. No missing data.
  2. swaping Li-7500 Analyzer. (Remove SN# 73 ; install SN# 42 )
  3. Check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors at Vaira. Yes!
  4. Check MD-9 system connections; Yes!
  5. Check levels of Radiation sensors, clear up surfaces.
  6. Check rain gage, make sure not clogged.
  7. Closed gate and set up fence.

Tonzi_Tower Site

  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 12.9 v; 0.0 amps; 4.0 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. check data files. No missing data.
  2. swaping Li-7500 Analyzer. (Remove SN# 0418 ; install SN# 1549 )

  1. check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors on the tower and the floor. Yes.
  2. Check rain gage, make sure not clogged.
  3. Check calibration cylinders;

CO2 1250 psig; flow 20 psi; 421.63 ppm.
N2 1700 psig; flow 20 psi.
Is the pump running‌ Yes.
  1. close gate and set up fence.

Toniz_Floor Site
  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 14.1 v; 11.2 amps; 1.7 amps.
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)
  4. check data files. No missing data.
  5. I was planning to swap Li-7500 Analyzer. However, I had to swap it back because the CO2 channel of IRGA (#35) showed -0.0001. The set of IRGA was newly calibrated by Li-cor, and it was working well when I recalibrated in the lab on 5/17/2012.
  6. Check MD-9 system connections. Yes. All worked well.
  7. Close gate and set up fence.
