Summary: Floor and Tower fences down, CO2 profile system not working, tram was derailed - reset at charging station, soil co2 partially working


When: Date: 01/01/2013 , Day: 001 , Watch Time: 11:30 am
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan
Weather: clear, sunny
Phenology: green grasses; no-leaf on oak trees

Grass begining to grow near solar panlesRadiometer tram
Green grass, bare trees, blue skyDirt road rolling hills and blue sky

Summary
  1. Checked and downloaded data at Tower, Floor, and Vaira. Swapped memory cards of CR1000s. Everything worked well, but fences at Floor and Tower site were broken. Cows got into the Floor site. I fixed the Floor one, but more wires are needed to fix the Tower one.
  2. Gashound of CO2 profile system gave 152 ppm when N2 given. So, I didn’t calibrate the system in the field. No daily files were downloaded by the PC. I tried downloading manually, but no data were collected.
  3. Tram cart was out of track (see the photo above). I put it back on the charge station.
  4. Tonzi Soil CO2 profile temp showed ‘INF’‌
  5. Read dendrometers
  6. Measured soil moisture
  7. Measure groundwater well:
