Description
Continuous infrared thermal imaging of vegetation plots at 5-second intervals from sunrise to sunset using elevated FLIR cameras to capture leaf temperature dynamics across environmental gradients.
Typical Equipment
- A615 FLIR infrared camera
- 13 mm lens
- ball-head camera mount
- wooden beam
- aluminum ladders
- ventilated radiation shield
- reflective Mylar plastic
- Linux computer (Odroid, C2)
- black duct tape
- Type K thermocouple (Omega, 5SRTC-TT-K-24-36)
- digital thermometer (Omega, HH147U)
Output Measurements
- leaf temperature time series
- thermal offset
- thermal coupling strength
