Summary: Standard field work, downloaded data, ants in the big box.

2012-12-14 We arrived about 09:30 PST. It was cold, about 6 °C, with a very mild breeze and cloudy. The field was slightly mucky with more bare spots due to significant cow trampling, although the short green grass layer largely remains. Laurie did soil respiration, well depth, and moisture point, and I did spectral later on. I checked the tower, downloaded the data & autocam pics, and cleaned the instruments (including radiation sensors). We brought a replacement radiation shield with new fan for the Vaisala T/RH sensor, but the current fan was still humming so I did not replace. There is a steady stream of ants into the wooden box, and they seem to really like the power conduit on the LGR pump. No serious problems as of yet, but we need to bring ant baits next time we’re out. LGR readings: 08:27, 22.78 °C, 134.9 Torr (adjusted to 145.7 Torr), 13.84 us, 10 Hz, 2.53 ppm 7500 readings: CO2: 18.2 mmol m-3 H2O: 360 mmol m-3 diag: 247 p = 101.3 kPa t = 8.8 °C MET & Soil CO2 data looked good. |
