Searching...Tonzi: 2008-01-13 11:00:00 (DOY 13)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others:
When: Date: 1/13/2008 ,
Day: 13 ,
Watch Time: 11:00 .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan
Weather:
partially cloudy, nice cold, foggy on the road
Phenology:
Looks wetter. Mr. Tonzi’s pond was
half-filled. A lot of cow footprints
were seen at Tonzi.
Summary
- Instant readings from Data logger at Vaira were all zero!!! Met data weren’t downloaded to the PC
after Day 10.
- EC systems were working well
at Tower.
- There was a power problem at Floor. The regulator of power shut down the
whole EC system. After I turned off
the power and re-turned it on, the PC kept reboot itself all the
time. Talked to Ted in the field on
the phone and he suggested to take the PC back to the lab. (I have talked to Ted about the problem,
and he is going to the field to fix the problem.)
- Voltage meter of Vaira fence looks broken because the pointer was
always on the far right side even though the switch was off.
Vaira_Grass
Site
- Fence and gate power: >12 v.
- Panel and Batteries: 12.2 v; 9.1-15.5 amps; 3.4
amps.
- Reading from Gillsonic screen
before downloading data. (The value
of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)

- downloading data – Yes. However,
instant readings from Data
logger at Vaira were all zero!!!
Met data weren’t downloaded to the PC after Day 10.
- check the fans of air temp.
and relative humidity sensors at Vaira. OK.
- Check MD-9 system connections.
OK.
- Check levels of Radiation
sensors, clear up surfaces. Yes.
- Closed gate and set up fence.
- Voltage meter of Vaira fence
looks broken because the pointer was always on the far right side even
though the switch was off.
Tonzi_Tower Site
- Fence and gate power: 12 v.
- Panel and Batteries: 11.8 v; 0.0
amps; 5.3
amps.
- Reading from Gillsonic screen
before downloading data. (The value
of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)

- downloading data Yes.
- check the fans of air temp.
and relative humidity sensors on the tower and the floor. Yes.
- Check calibration cylinders;
CO2 400
psig; flow 20 psi.
(Tank: 422.2 ppm)
N 2 400
psig; flow 20 psi.
Manually
calibrate Li-800. Following Ted’s
instruction: H:\IoneSavanna_2004\Tower_2004\CO2Profile\LI800_Calibration_Procedure_2Nov04.txt
Is the pump running Yes.
How to check the CO2 values Click “Ports/Flags” button to see which ports
or flags is setting high. Pressure
should be less than ambient value. When
Flag 8 is high, it may indicate that RRR’s battery is low.
- close gate and set up fence.
Yes.
Toniz_Floor
Site
- Fence and gate power: >12 v.
- Panel and Batteries:
First time: 12.4 v; 15.6
amps; Lvd
amps. The regulator of power
shut down the whole EC system.
After I re-turned on
the power, the PC kept reboot itself all the time.
Talked to Ted in the
field on the phone and he suggested to take the PC back to the lab.
- Close gate and set up fence.
Yes.
