DWR Corn
2012-08-02

I arrived about 2pm PDT with Sara, Carina, and Laurie. It was Clear, Sunny and hot with a very light breeze from the west. The corn has grown and another couple feet since I was there two weeks ago. It is beginning to flower and produce tassels.

I moved the tipping bucket from its temporary location below the eddy sensors to the top of the southwest corner of the scaffolding.

I swapped the LI7500 and moved the box mount to below the eddy sensors. Sn 0065 came off and sn 0042 went on.

I collected all the data. The card on the flux CR1000 did not format properly and reported existing files. With the File Control tool I was able to reformat the card and it finally initialized.

I changed the settings on the autocam to keep it from automatically running the script. I still need to changes its timing.

Sara, Carina and Laurie did the standard fieldwork.
