Tonzi: 2013-03-27 10:30:00 (DOY 86)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others: Joe, Dennis, Martin

Summary: Tram moved, standard fieldwork, LI800 far off scale, collected soil diffusion samples.


When: Date: 3/27/2013 , Day: 086 , Watch Time: 10:30 am .
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch
Who: Siyan, Joe, Dennis, Martin
Weather: sunny, clouds
Phenology: green grasses; oak trees leaf-out; not see cows at both sites; met Mr. Toniz

Big tree beginning to put on leaves at TonziRadiometer tram and green grass

Summary
  1. Tram was moved to the cluster area of root sampling.
  2. Checked systems, downloaded data, and swap memory cards at Tower and Floor.
  3. Joe downloaded data at Vaira, and I swapped memory card from CR1000.
  4. Calibrated CO2 profile system; Zero and span seemed not stable. Zero offset was -148pm‌‌‌
  5. Collected soil samples for soil gas diffusion experiments.
  6. Collected grass and litter samples for grass LAI and litter dry weight.
  7. Read dendrometers
  8. Measured soil moisture
  9. Measure groundwater well:

  3. Check rain gage, make sure not clogged. YES!
  4. Closed gate and set up fence. YES!
  5. Collected grass and litter samples for grass LAI and litter dry weight.

Tonzi_Tower Site

  1. Fence and gate power: 12 v.
  2. Panel and Batteries: - v; - amps; - 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 from PC.
  2. Swapped the memory cards of CR1000.
  3. The fan of air temp. and relative humidity sensors on the tower did not work because a wire was disconnected. Fixed.
  4. Check rain gage, make sure not clogged. YES!
  5. Check calibration cylinders;

CO2 400 psig; flow 20 psi; 421.63 ppm.
N2 600 psig; flow 20 psi.
Is the pump running‌ YES!
