Saturday – 10/24/10

Leaf oven works perfect. Min and max temperatures over the last 24 hours were 55 and 62 C.

 

TO DO:

  • - a way to attach them to the cuvette (big snaps?, bungee cord? ),
  • - make new dynamic par that extends for 3 minutes instead of 2 (every 2 seconds taking a measurements),
    • - change par curve program to include one 800 par reading at the end after I have clicked abort etc, using the same protocol. this will be aborted if I go to the very high light levels, but will be useful for a full light curve if I stop too early. Co2 curve seems to be fine as is.
  • - measure areas of all leaves in Photoshop,
  • - write on envelopes the measured area, and the date when put into the drier and final weight at IPIF,
  • - make revised schedule of dates and LiCOR data collection,
  • - enter offset data into excel (~350),
  • - enter foliar data into excel,
  • - enter new azimuth data for lad profiles into excel
  • - order 1.5-2 TB internal hard drive for computer (confirm that it will fit) – 7200 rpm, etc…
