| DWR Corn
2012-11-15 Laurie and I arrived around 11:00 PST. It was calm and partly cloudy, about 15 °C. The corn has been harvested! The stalks have been cut down to mere nubs and there are lots of cobs lying around with no corn kernels on them. We took an easy jaunt out to the tower amidst the ruins. Laurie took spectral while I attended the tower. Tower readings: CO2: 18.2 mmol m-3 (after cleaning) H2O: 460 mmol m-3 (after cleaning) diag: 253 (bumped to 248 after cleaning water from the 7500 upper window) MET looked good. I set the station clocks for both dataloggers, which were both less than 1 minute off. I also cleaned the radiation sensors and the solar panels. |
