Visão Geral

The AP200 is a complete, integrated CO2 and H2O atmospheric profile system. It measures carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) concentration from up to eight intakes, which are normally spaced along the height of a tower to give a vertical profile. The AP200 is often used in conjunction with an eddy-covariance system to measure the storage term and provide you with a more complete measure of the surface gas exchange.

  1. The AP200 uses ¼ in. tube fittings. Tubing with a 6 mm outer diameter (OD) will not fit, unless a 6 mm to ¼ in. reducer is used on each end of each tube.

  2. No. The AP200 requires flow from at least four intake assemblies for smooth operation of the pump.
  3. No. Because the AP200 has only eight inlets for air samples, it can only operate with a maximum of eight intake assemblies.
  4. The intake tubes can be quite long—up to a few hundred meters. Contact Campbell Scientific to ask about specific requirements for an application.

  5. Possibly. For example, to measure advection because of a drainage flow on sloping terrain, an AP200 system could be deployed with two towers, upstream and downstream along the slope, with four intakes on each tower.

  6. The spacing depends on the canopy and atmospheric conditions. It is important to know where the concentration gradients are the steepest.

    For example, in a low agricultural crop canopy, it may be appropriate to use a logarithmic distribution within and near the top of the canopy, and a linear distribution above the canopy: 0.2 m, 0.4 m, 0.8 m, 1.6 m, 3.2 m (logarithmic) and 5 m, 7 m, 9 m (linear).

  7. No. If the LI-840A requires repair or recalibration, return it to LI-COR.
  8. The AP200 supports automatic zero/span from once per day to once each averaging period (typically 30 minutes). A zero/span once a day will mitigate zero/span drift caused by seasonal temperature changes and long-term drift in the IRGA. More frequent zero/span (hourly) will also correct for any small drift associated with 24 hour temperature swings.

  9. Configure the AP200 to set the zero and CO2 span. This will provide better accuracy than simply measuring the zero and span tanks and doing a correction in post-processing.
