FluxPak - Model FMS -Flux Measurement System
The measurement of fluxes such as sensible heat, momentum, and latent heat, require a fixed set of instruments and software, operating the Eddy Co-variance Method. Applied Technologies, Inc. has put together a complete package of instruments and software that can be configured into a variety of systems to perform this task. It`s called the FluxPak.
An Eddy Co-variance System, using the FluxPak is designed to measure fluxes in the surrounding air, such as momentum flux, latent heat flux and sensible heat flux. The FluxPak consists of an Ultrasonic Anemometer and DataPacker/DataLogger to combine various analog and digital outputs with the Ultrasonic Anemometer, and Flux Measurement Software package. The basic system will provide momentum and sensible heat fluxes, by adding a hygrometer, H2O and latent heat fluxes can also be made available.
The basic package of the FluxPak system can be fabricated around a desktop PC, a laptop/notebook PC or it can even be assembled into a weatherproof enclosure for harsh environments.
The basic system includes two instruments, the FluxPak Controller and the ATI Sonic Anemometer.
The FluxPak Controller includes:
- a low power, +12Vdc input powered, computer
- in a weatherproof enclosure
- with a Linux OS, and the FMS processing software
- with an Ethernet connection so a laptop can be used for
- setup, monitoring, and downloading data
- a 10m interconnect cable between the sonic and controller
- a 10m DC input cable
The SATI Sonic Anemometer includes:
- see the attached brochure for details and specifications
- any of the 5 types can be included in this system, they are the
- same price
- the difference between them has to do with the science being
- measured
- see the descriptions under the pictures
