Description

SEEDS 2001 PAR
PAR averaged every 10 minutes for the duration of the experiment.
Daily fluxes are calculated.

Methods & Sampling

PAR was measured with LiCor LI-190SA cosine collector.
Collected data was averaged with 10-minutes interval and stored in a data logger (LI-1000 LiCor).
Sensor: LiCor LI-190SA cosine collector, LiCor Inc. Lincoln Nebraska,
Data logger: LiCor LI-1000

Instruments

LI-COR LI-1000 Data Logger

Supplied Name: LiCor LI-1000 Data Logger

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: LI-COR LI-1000 Data Logger

Acronym: LI-COR LI-1000

Generic Description:

"The LI-1000 DataLogger is a 10 channel datalogger that functions both as a data logging device and a multichannel, autoranging meter. The electronics of the LI-1000 have been optimized for highly accurate measurement of LI-COR radiation sensors which have a current signal" (from LI-COR Datalogging Instruction Manual, p 1). LI-COR began manufacturing these instruments in 1985 and discontinued in 1998. Serial Numbers for this model have the prefix of LDL-XXXX. (www.licor.com)

LI-COR LI-190SA PAR Sensor

Supplied Name: LiCor LI-190SA Cosine Collector

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: LI-COR LI-190SA PAR Sensor

Acronym: LI-COR LI-190SA PAR

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0193/

Generic Description:

The LI-190SA Quantum Sensor is used to accurately measure (non-aquatic) Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) in the range of 400-700 nm. Colored glass filters are used to tailor the silicon photodiode response to the desired quantum response. The LI-190SA is also used as a reference sensor for comparison to underwater PAR measured by the LI-192SA or LI-193 Underwater Quantum Sensors.
