SSHCZO -- Meteorology -- Shale Hills -- (2009-2013)

OVERVIEW

Description/Abstract

Data are from the top of the flux tower at the Susquehanna Shale Hills CZO, including measurement of average surface pressure, water vapor concentration, virtual temperature, relative humidity, and net radiation. Temperature and humidity are measured with a Campbell Scientific HMP45C probe, http://www.campbellsci.com; surface pressure is measured with a a LI-COR LI-7500 CO2/H2O analyzer, http://www.licor.com; and water vapor concentration is measured with both the HMP45C and the LI-7500. Net radiation is measured with a Kipp & Zonen NR-Lite, http://s.campbellsci.com/documents/us/manuals/nr-lite.pdf; and PAR is measured with a LI-COR LI-190, http://www.licor.com/env/products/light/quantum_sensors/190specs.html. Net radiation is integrated, downward minus upward, from 0.2 - 100 µm, and PAR is integrated from 400 - 700 nm.
