Photographs of field experiment
- Digging out hole for soil sensors
- The sensors ready to install
- Ready to install soil moisture probe
- Soil moisture and Soil heat capacity probes placed. Note that moisture probe is only seated 1/2 way in "undisturbed" soil due to many rocks in soil. The hole will be backfilled to surround this probe.
- Same as previous, with the addition of the soil heat flux plate to the left.
-
- Beginning to fill up hole (note lots of small rocks!)
- Added soil temperature probe to left of hole - Sensor installation mostly complete.
- Setting of soil installation under radiometer stand. Cables connect to logger box on stand.
- A final view of the soil installation. The site was tapped many times to get loose dirt to fill in any gaps between the rocks. It still would be best to have a good rain before using the data.
- View from the SE of the tower partially instrumented with top 4 levels.
- View from SSE of tower, radiometer stand, and rain gauge being installed.
- View of site from W
- Site of soil sensors after being installed
- Site of soil sensors marked with fence post with cables protected by orange plastic bag
- View to N
- View to E
- View to S. Note oil tank farm (a source of CO2?)
- View to W. Note mountains on horizon. Pickup truck is on track 75m away.
- With next photo, close-up of tank transfer station to south of site.
