Summary
  1. checked and downloaded data at Tower, Floor, and Vaira
  2. Swapped Li-7500 at Tonzi Floor site.
  3. Joe put back Gashound gas analyzer and calibrated Li-800 in the field.
  4. Joe reinstalled the soil heat flux plate pulled out for calibration at Tonzi and Vaira. I cleaned up the surface grass litter to estimate litter effects.
  5. Read dendrometers
  6. Measured soil moisture
  7. Measure groundwater well:

Vaira_Grass Site
  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v. (Joe tried fixing the broken lower wire of the fence, but somehow the wire might be tangled somewhere by cows.)
  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. 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: - 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 Windflux wasn’t working from last visiting. PC was stuck when it restarted, asking for permission to restart. Good news is that we have CR1000 to record 10Hz data.
  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 psig; flow 20 psi; 421.63 ppm.
N2 1000 psig; flow 20 psi.
Is the pump running‌ Joe put back Gashound gas analyzer and calibrated Li-800 in the field.
  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.
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)
  4. Swapped LI7500 0073 off, 0976 on

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

CR23X3 – floor-Met

Soil CO2 profile: CR23X5 – soil CO2 profile








  1. Close gate and set up fence. YES!
