Tonzi: 2008-03-06 10:30:00 (DOY 66)
Author: Dennis Baldocchi
Others: Siyan Ma


When: Date: 3/6/3008 , Day: 66 , Watch Time: 10:30 .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: DDB and Siyan
Weather: clear with light, white cloud in the morning; cloudy in the afternoon, and Youngryle was able to take tree LAI measurements.
Phenology: grasses grew stronger. Some are tillerring (2-3).
Summary
  1. CO2 profile: flow rate of CO2 tank need to be double checked since the tank pressure seems running down fast.
  2. DDB installed soil CO2 probes!!! Floor computer successfully connected to the datalogger.
  3. Checked and download data at Tower, Floor, and Vaira. The three EC systems worked well.
  4. Collected grass sample for LAI and phenology in Tower and Vaira, oak branches for N
  5. Read dendrometers.
  6. spectrometer (Youngryle)

Vaira_Grass Site
  1. Fence and gate power: >12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: 13.9 v; 14.1 amps; 2.7 amps.
  3. Reading from Gillsonic screen before downloading data. (The value of H2O and CO2 should be in the range of 0 – 5 v.)

  1. downloading data
  2. swaping Li-7500 Analyzer. (Remove SN# 418 ; install SN# 35 )
  3. check the fans of air temp. and relative humidity sensors on the tower and the floor.
  4. Check calibration cylinders;

CO2 1000 psig; flow 20 psi. (431.8 ppm)
N2 2000 psig; flow 20 psi.
Manually calibrate Li-800. Following Ted’s instruction: H:\IoneSavanna_2004\Tower_2004\CO2Profile\LI800_Calibration_Procedure_2Nov04.txt
