Friday – 09102010

Working to recalibrate top of canopy PAR sensors to tower mounted LiCOR sensor.

The high elevation is complicated. There is obvious diurnal and seasonal offsets to the sensor position (i.e., leans to the East and North, I think). I will model this out using julian day and fractional day.

The low elevation sensor is a much simpler situation requiring only a fractional change to the multiplier, maintaining the linear relationship between the two sensors. This one must be in a leveled position.
