Final field prep prior to starting on Monday!

TO DO:

  • Final step by step instructions for Hawaii methods,
    1. Geolocation (Trupulse 360)
    2. Interior microclimate – CR-10x
    3. Top of canopy – CR-200
    4. LiCOR 6400
    5. Foliar properties
  • Check Trupulse 360 (geolocation laser) battery level,
  • Mount reflectors on micro-climate sensors,
  • Practice wiring PAR and windspeed interior sensors to CR-10x and photograph for easy assembly in the field,
  • Replace desiccant packages in interior forest HOBO sensors,
  • Check weather-proof storage boxes and desiccant for interior forest and top-of-canopy dataloggers,
  • VerifyCR-200 dataloggers are functioning good,
  • Verify code for CR-200 TOC sensors,
  • LEICA differential GPS methods – review and refine as necessary,
  • Write up NSF DDIG final report and submit,
  • Design LiCOR 6400 system to carry in field. A Lucy Army backpack frame with net combined with weatherproof storage box is the concept.
