Agenda Updates: 10:00 – 10:10: Luke; infrastructure enhancements over the last several months, and continuing installations this winter. 10:10 – 10:15: Xubin; update on ARO proposal involving aboveground instrumentation. 10:15 – 10:20: Russ; update on STC-related ideas for future vegetation scenarios at LEO. 10:20 – 10:30: Peter; updates WEES proposal, VP funding, and NSF proposals and opportunities for experiments within the context of those awards. Discussion: 10:30 – 11:00: Open discussion about 1) whether or not to add rainfall to LEO-C and LEO-W to equalize cumulative total rainfall with LEO-E, and if so, how to use that water for experimental purposes. 2) Ideas for long-term rainfall applications at LEO, which could begin summer of 2015.

Below-ground instrumentation operational for all three landscapes.
