15:45 - Steve O. added a tsoil probe in the duff at soila2. This probe is one of our single temperature probes even though the
output message is similar to a 4 channel probe.
Oncley adds: The duff wasn't too thick here -- perhaps 1.5cm of needles and a few leaves. It isn't too dense, so the probe is mostly measuring air temp (interstitial in the duff). At the moment, it is reading about about 0.5 C higher than 0.6cm, which is at least the right direction.
