常见问题解答

IRGASON: 22

展开全部收起全部

  1. How often do the windows on the IRGASON® or EC150 need to be cleaned?

    The factory calibration accounts for CO2 and H2O signal strengths down to 0.7. Therefore, to ensure quality data, windows should be cleaned before signal strengths drop below 0.7. 

  2. How can the IRGASON® or EC150 recover more quickly from precipitation, dew, or frost?

    The EC150 and IRGASON® gas analyzer windows are polished, slanted at an angle, and coated with a hydrophobic material to prevent water from collecting on their surfaces. Wicks may also be used on the windows to promote capillary action and move water away from the window edges. Also, heaters in the snouts may be turned on to help minimize data loss because of precipitation and condensation events.

  3. What is the demonstrated wattage for power-up on the IRGASON® or EC150?

    The power requirement for the IRGASON® or EC150 with CSAT3A is 5 W at room temperature regardless of whether it is powering up or under steady-state operation.  At extreme cold or hot temperatures, the power requirement reaches 6 W.

  4. Why is a barometer needed for the IRGASON® or the EC150?

    The barometer and temperature sensor are needed because the IRGASON® and EC150 have been calibrated at the factory over a range of temperatures (-30° to +50°C) and barometric pressures (70 to 106 kPa). 

  5. Is the IRGASON® well suited for all environments?

    The IRGASON® has been optimized for most terrestrial applications. If the IRGASON® is to be used in a marine environment or in an environment where it is exposed to corrosive chemicals (for example, sulfur-containing compounds in viticulture), expect the sonic transducers to age more quickly and require replacement sooner than a unit deployed in an inland, chemical-free environment. If possible, mount the IRGASON® in a way that reduces exposure to saltwater spray/splash and/or corrosive chemicals.

  6. What should the sensor height be for the IRGASON® or EC150?

    The minimum height for the IRGASON® or EC150 should be approximately 2 m. Sensor placement below that height may result in a significant loss in frequency response. The maximum height depends on the available upwind fetch or footprint area.  As a general guideline for unstable boundary layer conditions, the height of the sensor should be less than the distance from the sensor to the outermost edge of the footprint area divided by one hundred. For example, if there is 500 m of available upwind fetch, the IRGASON® or EC150 should not exceed a height of 5 m.  Note that for neutral and stable conditions, the footprint area will grow.

  7. If the sonic temperature is reading a couple degrees different from the IRGASON® or EC150 temperature probe, is that a problem?

    Differences between the sonic calculated temperature and the air temperature measured by a more traditional sensor do not necessarily indicate a problem. Sonic anemometers, because of their high sensitivities to sonic geometry and transducer response time, do not typically measure absolute temperature as accurately as traditional temperature probes. Even very small changes in geometry can lead to errors in sonic temperature because sonic temperature is proportional to the square of any error in the distance between sonic transducers. As an example, a change of only 200 micrometers in sonic path length at room temperature yields a 1°C change in measured sonic temperature.

    Even though sonic anemometers are generally not recommended for measuring absolute temperature, they excel at measuring fast temperature fluctuations, which are needed for eddy-covariance calculations (sensible heat flux). Furthermore, the error in sonic temperature in most cases can be regarded as an offset after sonic temperature has been corrected for humidity, and therefore, it will not have an effect on the covariance calculation.  Nevertheless, if a user desires to calibrate the sonic temperature to account for this offset, this can be done using the temperature reading from a collocated temperature probe, such as the EC150 or IRGASON® temperature probe.  

  8. What kind of gases need to be ordered to zero and span an analyzer?

    To zero the analyzer of an EC150 or an IRGASON®, any gas that is free of CO2 or H2O, such as nitrogen gas, will work. To span CO2, use mixtures of CO2 in air.  It is important that air, not pure nitrogen, be used as the balance gas, so that the pressure-broadening characteristics match that of ambient air. Ideally, use a CO2 span gas concentration that is close to the expected concentration that will be measured at the site.

  9. Can a fine-wire thermocouple be used with the IRGASON® or EC150?

    Yes. A fine-wire thermocouple, such as a FW05, can be used.

  10. Which software package is recommended for doing post-processing on data from the IRGASON® or EC150?

    EdiRe (University of Edinburgh) and MATLAB (MathWorks) are two of the products eddy-covariance customers have used to post-process their data. Others are also available. (For more information, review the EdiRe technical paper titled “EdiRe Software for Micrometeorological Applications.)

    Campbell Scientific’s default data output format is TOB1 binary, which is compatible with most post-processing software packages.  If another data format is needed, Campbell Scientific’s LoggerNet software may be used to convert TOB1 to another format.
