Abstract: The miniature net radiometer was constructed by enclosing a blackened thermal transducer within four polystyrene radiation windows. The outer two radiation windows were hemispherically shaped (one-inch radius) so that the ...

Abstract: A sensitive cup-type anemometer was developed which is mechanically and electrically simple. The characteristics include a starting speed of 6 cm sec?1, distance constant (63%) of 90 cm, and a linear response.

Abstract: An improved net radiometer was designed with increased sensitivity to match a ±5-mv potentiometer used in a multipoint recording system. Its sensitivity is sufficient to give a full-scale range of ±1.4 ly min?1, with a ...

Abstract: An anemometer housing design is described which utilizes readily available components. The unique feature of the design is the use of a magnetically activated reed switch set in an iron epoxy housing to provide indication ...

Abstract: Surface evaluation of sensible and latent heat flux densities and the components of the radiation balance were desired for various vegetative surfaces during the ASCOT84 experiment to compare with modeled results and to ...

Abstract: During the spring of 1961, experiments were conducted at the U.S. Water Conservation Laboratory, Tempe, Ariz., to measure the magnitude of evaporation and related micrometeorological factors from isolated shallow water and ...

Abstract: The data handling system was designed to record sequentially on punched paper tape or typewriter listings up to 40 voltage and nine electrical pulse signals from micrometeorological sensors. The system consists of a ...

Abstract: Surface energy budget measurements were made concurrently at five sites located on the valley floor, sidewalls and ridgetop of Colorado's 650-m deep Brush Creek Valley (39°32?N, 108°24?W) on the nearly clear day of 25 ...

Abstract: Solar and longwave radiation data are presented for five sites in Colorado's 650 m deep semiarid Brush Creek Valley (39°32?N, 108°24?W) during September 1984. During the sunlit period of a nearly clear day, individual sites ...
