Summary
  1. Pre-dawn leaf water potential: oak leaf= -30 bar; pin needle=-13 bar.
  2. A-Ci curves for oak and gray pine
  3. check and download data at Tower, Floor, and Vaira
  4. Didn’t calibrate Li-800 in the field because bump was dead.
  5. collected samples of oak leaves and pin needles
  6. dendrometers
  7. soil moisture
  8. groundwater well:

Vaira_Grass Site
  1. Fence and gate power: 12 (but not on) v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 13.5 v; 10.1 amps; 2.5 amps.
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)

20090802_siyam_image010.jpg
  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

20090802_siyam_image012.jpg
  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: 13.4 v; 0.0 amps; 4.8 amps.
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)

20090802_siyam_image014.jpg
  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 500 psig; flow 20 psi; 431.25 ppm.
N2 500 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 No. Pump was dead. I took it back to lab.
20090802_siyam_image016.jpg
  1. close gate and set up fence. YES!

Toniz_Floor Site
  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 12.3 v; 1.5 amps; 1.9 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.)

20090802_siyam_image018.jpg
  1. downloading data YES!
  2. Check MD-9 system connections YES!
