DWR Corn
2013-02-14

Sara and I arrived around 13:45 PST. It was sunny and warm (~ 18 °C) with a mild breeze. The field remains wet, with patchy standing water mostly in the north of the field. I downloaded data while Sara cleaned the flux instruments and radiation instruments (radiation instruments again fairly bird fouled). There were no pics on the autocam when we pulled the card, but Sara couldn’t remember whether it was off when she pulled it. The autocam was off when we pulled the card two weeks ago, so there may be a problem here. We checked the wiring, which was fine, and the camera turns on okay. We made sure that the program was engaged and the camera still on when we left. If off next week we should pull the camera.

7500 readings:
CO2: 16 mmol m-3
H2O: 380 mmol m-3
diag: 250 (did not change upon cleaning)

MET was good.

Solar panels could use cleaning.
