DWR Corn
2012-10-11

We arrived around 13:45 PDT. Mostly cloudy, breezy, and cool (~16 °C). The corn is dry but some green hangs on, and there are still a few greenish patches out in the field when looking from the tower. I downloaded the data and camera pics, washed the solar panels, and cleaned the flux instruments and radiation sensors. Sara, Laurie and Christina took spectral measurements and clippings. For clippings, they brought back only the green portion of the corn.

Tower readings:
CO2: 15.9 mmol m-3
H2O: 560 mmol m-3
P = 101.2 kPa
diag: 248

MET looked good.
