The gradient irrigation application is shown on a scale using the color blue. Proposed locations of the soil water measurement neutron access tubes are shown. ++++++ File Title: Plot layout diagram File Name: F105_2013_Field_Plot_Diagram.pdf Description: An example pdf file diagram of three plots for F105 2013 is depicted, showing the management expectation of no plant disturbance zones supporting final harvest areas. This diagram examples part of a process where all experimental team members and activities must coordinate spatially, as well as temporally, in order to achieve operational harmony and often the process can start through discussions regarding layout. Wheel tracks or other paths of disturbance are delineated so as to be constrained in scope. ++++++ File Title: Nitrogen applications treatments layout field map File Name: F105 2013 N treatments.pdf Description: A simple map diagram of the nitrogen treatment field orientation drawn to scale. +++++ File Title: Gradient irrigation applications totals File Name: F105_2013_IRR_Gradient_Applications.xlsx Description: An Excel workbook is presented containing two worksheet tabs. Each with total irrigation and rainfall amounts for each of the ten treatments, and some minor description information. The linear move sprinkler is a large feature of the F105 and has historic research significance. This individuated water application file is offered as supplemental data. ++++++ File Title: Intermediate analysis tables collection File Name: F105_2013_Inter_files.zip Description: A collection of 17 files, each where a two table Excel workbook is presented, one per data collection event. They contain additional metadata in a worksheet tab, and an intermediate processing table of custom SAS generated program output integrating measurements across both data loggers. GPS receiver location coordinates and other information is combined with the calculated vegetation reflection index values, and the canopy temperature and height measurements. The original version of this file was created soon after field measurements occurred, for immediate review during the experimentation. It serves here as an example of a process, and provides a partial analysis. These SAS output files represent intermediate pre-processed tables, where variables are ready to be mapped or statistically analyzed. There may be a few instances of serial communication numeric or other errors not replaced by the -9999 null term in the intermediate files, however this does not apply to the phenotyping sensing variables, only GPS and time variables which were still being developed in minor ways by developing CRbasic code on the CS logger. SAS output files were generated by Conley, after the data collections and throughout the season, where Dr. White mentored, and in collaboration with Dr. Bronson and Dr. Mon, these intermediate table outputs were produced and delivered internally. Although minor formatting was performed for clarity on the files presented here, all the original table information was retained, as much as possible, to example process and provide the same data for reprocess option. ++++++ File Title: The collection of raw active optical reflectance csv files from the HS data logger File Name: F105_2013_HS data.zip Description: This HS data zipped folder, contains 17 raw active optical reflectance data csv files, as derived directly from the data recorder, and includes GPS information. Holland Scientific technology sensing and GeoScoutX, data recorded and pre-processed to a file name, Field_Year_Month_Day_HS_data.csv. The single row header lined format comma separated table file contains the GPS information, and the six bands of active optical canopy reflectance measured by the two CropCircle sensors. Data is as close to raw numeric values acquired as possible, with quality only adjustments such as concatenation or null replacement. ++++++ File Title: The collection of raw environmental acquisition csv files from the CS data logger File Name: F105_2013_CS data.zip Description: This CS data zipped folder, contains raw environmental and target recordings including the triple view thermal emission, and the ultrasonic displacement, as well as GPS information and additional values. A collection of 16 field acquisition events presented as 18 csv files. The Campbell Scientific technology data as recorded was pre-processed to a file name, Field_Year_Month_Day_CS_data.csv. The single row header column format comma separated table file contains GPS information, the triple view thermal, and the ultrasonic displacement phenotyping measurements, plus an ambient air temperature. Data is as close to the raw numeric values acquired as possible, with quality only adjustments such as concatenation or null replacement. Technical note on the Ultrasonic sensors in this dataset: Honeywell ultrasonic sensor - Model PK 10414-10, part of the 943 series, 943-F4V, importantly at 180Khz sound signal frequency. Madison ultrasonic sensor - Model Ux45, part of the UM42 short range ultrasonic sensor group, and with a 45Khz frequency. Parallax ultrasonic sensor - Generic part #28015, and it has a 40Khz sound signal frequency. ++++++ File Title: Example hand-held image descriptor File Name: F105_2013_Wheat_Strip11_Example_Image.JPG Description: An example image centered looking south down the Strip #11, from the dry treatment side, towards the wet. A huge difference in water related plant status is evident, as well as some adjacent strips showing different phenotypic characteristics. Hand-held camera imagery of the field and plant development throughout the season is valuable in documenting status. If an image is taken from the same vantage, or at the same target, comparability between multiple images supports an increased situational understanding. If a field anomaly or experimental effect occurs, imagery is useful in communicating status to team members as well as providing documentation. During data analysis, time-stamped imagery can be valuable in explaining data features and supports discovery. This image is one in a larger collection, and is provided in its original form, exampling a field notation type imagery. (Optical Perception Acquisition is this later coined Maricopa Phenotyping method by Conley, starting under Dr. Kimball in the Hot Serial Cereal experiment in the 2005 era. After training from Dr. Pinter to hand write field conditions, and promoting that a picture is worth one thousand words, many pictures were taken of the experimental infrared heater plots and wheat growth response. The images from F105 would have been a second and smaller set collected.) ++++++ File Title: Harvest plots corner points coordinates File Name: F105_2013_Points.csv Description: A comma separated file is presented, containing plot water and nitrogen treatment numbers, experimental repetition designations, and the UTM Easting and Northing coordinates in meters, for the plot polygon vertices of the harvest plot areas. ++++++ File Title: Example map of Amber NDVI File Name: F105_2013_Amber_Map.pdf Description: Active Optical Reflectance data from 04/17/2013 is mapped with F105 plot polygons as an example view.
