Summary

Joe swapped memory cards of CR1000s at Tonzi tower and Vaira; I swapped it at Floor tower.
Joe worked on transferring half-hourly data back to Berkeley lab via cell data plan.
Checked the soil CO2 probes at Tonzi and Vaira;
Read dendrometers
Measured soil moisture
Measured grass height
Measure groundwater well
Measure midday water potential of oak leaves
