Abstract
An instrument system has been developed to measure photosynthetically active quantum scalar irradiance, the number of photosynthetically active photons arriving at a point from all directions. One instrument in the system is designed to measure vertical profiles in the ocean, one to monitor solar radiation for reference purposes, and one to measure quantum scalar irradiance in laboratory incubators. A method of evaluating the performance of light measuring instruments and estimating the errors in actual field use is described and applied to these instruments and also to instruments in common use.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
