Versatile heat flux measurement

This is the combination of an optical scintillometer, such as LAS MkII or X-LAS MkII, combined with a microwave scintillometer to provide direct measurements of both sensible heat flux and latent heat flux (evapotranspiration) averaged over a large area

Remote sensing

Remote sensing technique allowing measurements over open water, swamps, or sensitive natural habitats without disturbance.

Easy installation

Easy installation and self-contained system, only requiring power, with very little maintenance and no moving parts for enhanced reliability.
