Eddy Covariance Biological and Meteorological Sensors

Data Acquisition Module

Designed and manufactured by LI-COR, the Data Acquisition Module collects biomet data and provides the data to the SmartFlux system. These data are time-synchronized with the eddy covariance data sets by EddyPro and can be used in flux calculations and post-processing.

Data Retention Module

Designed to mitigate data loss during a power outage, the Data Retention Module provides data logging and smart system controls that prioritize the sonic anemometer, SmartFlux System, Data Acquisition Module, and biomet sensors if the power supply is compromised.

Quantum sensors and radiometers

LI-190R Quantum Sensor

Measure photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) with uniform intensity across the entire PAR waveband.

LI-200R Pyranometer

Measure global solar radiation.

Kipp & Zonen NRLite2 Net Radiometer

Measure net radiation - the difference of incoming and outgoing radiation.

Kipp & Zonen CNR4 Net Radiometer
