Tonzi: 2013-04-10 09:00:00 (DOY 100)
Author: Siyan Ma
Others: Joe

Summary: Standard fieldwork, Extra grass samples at Vaira



When: Date: 4/10/2013 , Day: 100 ,
Watch Time: 9:00 am .


Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranch

Who: Siyan

Weather: clear, sunny

Phenology: green grasses; oak trees grew; no cows seen at
both sites, but grasses were significantly different inside and outside of the
fence at Vaira, maybe indicating grazing effects.

Summary
  1. Checked and downloaded data from PC at Tower, Floor.

  2. Joe downloaded data at Vaira.

  3. Joe installed 4-way radiaometers and diffusive light
    sensor at Tonzi.

  4. Swapped memory cards of CR1000s at three sites. Everything
    worked well.

  5. Calibrated CO2 profile system; Zero ~10 ppm offset.

  6. Collected grass samples for grass LAI, 3 for open even,
    3 for cow poop spot.

  7. Read dendrometers

  8. Measured soil moisture

  9. Measure groundwater well:
