Working on the LAI measurements. First step was to find an open location at the high elevation area, much easier than the low elevation much taller forest. For this we used a Suunto Inclinometer mounted on a tripod.
The low elevation required some more creativity to find an sufficiently open location, we’ll start collecting data with this system on Friday when we have finished the high elevation parcels.
Here is the remote open area LAI 2000 setup and collecting measurements every 15 seconds. I take basically the same system into the forest interior to collect LAI values, georeferenced using our Trupulse system.
