Instrumentation for Exploring Surface Energy Balance using a combination of Satellite and Ground Based Observations

Abstract

The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. Universities to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in selected technical areas of importance to national defense. DURIP funding provides for the acquisition of research equipment and instrumentation for this purpose. This proposal is for the purchase of a system of ground-based measuring devices including a CO2/H2O analyzer, a soil flux system, a sonic anemometer, a heavy duty tripod, a biomet system, a cellular communication system, and a latent and sensible heat flux system. The P.I., Professor Hamidreza Norouzi, of the New York City College of Technology, will use the equipment to augment and enhance research capabilities in the exploration and characterization of surface energy fluxes in urban and non-urban environments.
