</p> Measure Canopy PAR and Calculate LAI The AccuPAR model LP-80 is a lightweight, portable, linear photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) sensor. It lets you measure canopy PAR interception…
PAR is often used to generate interception, which is then used to predict biomass production, crop growth, etc. This simple, no-frills sensor measures photosynthetically active radiation over your chosen time interval. Plug-and-log simplicity when used with the Em50 line of data loggers.
Measure wind speed and direction over your chosen interval. Straightforward setup. Plug-and-log simplicity when used with the Em50 series of data loggers.
Radiation data are important in calculating an energy balance, in determining latent heat flux vs. sensible heat, in generating interception data for biomass and crop growth models, and for use in the Penman-Monteith equation. We offer both total solar radiation and photosynthetically-active radiation sensors.
