The LI-190SA Quantum Sensor is used to accurately measure (non-aquatic) Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) in the range of 400-700 nm. Colored glass filters are used to tailor the silicon photodiode response to the desired quantum response. The LI-190SA is also used as a reference sensor for comparison to underwater PAR measured by the LI-192SA or LI-193 Underwater Quantum Sensors.
| Dataset Name | PI-Supplied Description | PI-Supplied Name |
|---|---|---|
| Photosynthetically-active radiation (PAR) from R/V Kaiyo-Maru cruise KY0103-01 and KY0103-02 in the Northwestern Sub-Arctic Pacific in 2001 (SEEDS I project) | LiCor LI-190SA Cosine Collector | |
| PAR data from Virginia Aquarium Climate Change Facility, Virginia Beach VA; 2011-2015 (Impact of Climate on Eelgrass project) | Photosynthetically Active Radiation data were recorded using factory calibrated LI-COR LI- 90 quantum irradiance sensors placed at 4 locations around the tanks to characterize the full sunlight regime incident on each tank. Data were recorded at 10 minute intervals using a LI-1000 programmable data logger from 18 April to 3 October 2013. Subsequently, data were recorded using the NI data logger and LabView software system used for temperature and pH. Sensor inter-calibration was performed on site using a series of neutral density filters. | LI-COR LI-190SA PAR |
| Wind and weather data from the Joubin and Wauwerman Islands acquired between January 01 and March 11 2020. | Licor, LI-190 | |
| Vertical profiles and attenuation coefficients during intense blooms in the Lower York River Estuary between August 2021 and September 2022 | Irradiance profiles were measured with a LI-COR LI-1400 datalogger and surface (LI-190SA) and underwater (LI-192SA) quantum sensors. | LI-190SA |
