| DWR Corn
2013-01-03 We arrived around 08:15 PST. It was cold and foggy, air temperature hovering right at freezing. There was a thick layer of frost on the ground and puddle surfaces were frozen. The field was very wet, with standing water in patches. We downloaded the data and autocam pics, and cleaned the flux and radiation instruments. There was a thick layer of (frozen) spider webs and some ice on the flux instruments. Batteries at the tower were good, about 15 V. We also installed a new water pressure sensor out in the field. At the time of install, the reading was 0.90, the water level was 20 cm below the surface, and the top of the pvc tube was 20 cm above the surface. Tower readings: CO2: 23 mmol m-3 H2O: 280 mmol m-3 diag: 255 cleaned to 247 t=0 °C |
