Field Goniometer System (FIGOS)
The
FIGOS is a transportable goniometer which is designed to measure BRF under
natural illumination conditions. It has been designed and developed by
the team of the University of Zurich. FIGOS provides essential information
on the BRF of objects in order to overcome the Lambertian assumption.
The goniometer is operated with a GER3700 spectroradiometer. A motor drives
a sledge for semi-automatic progress of the measurements (zenith arc).ParameterDescriptionDiameter/Height 4 m/2 m Possible view angles -75° < t < 75° (where t = zenith angle)0 < f < 360° (where f = azimuth angle) Angular precision ±0.2° Material Blackcoated aluminum Total weight ˜230 kg Time to set up 1.5 h (operating staff: 2 people) Time to measure one hemisphere with resolution for f = 30° and t = 15° 25 min Minimum distance between the center of the target and the shadow of the zenith arc aligned in the solar principal plane 14 cm

The FieldSpec FR records reflectance between 0.35 - 2.5 µm using three integrated spectrometers. A bundle of fibre optics collects light and strikes a grating which diffracts the light into the respective wavelengths. The photons fall onto the surface of the detector material (depending on the sensibility of the material) and initiate a current. The so-called measured current includes the dark current and the signal current. The dark signal is corrected for by scanning an internal reference (black body).The first spectrometer (VNIR) has a spectral solution of 3 nm (1 nm sampling interval), the spectral resolution in the SWIR II ranges from 10 to 12 nm. The original field of view of the fibre optics used with the instrument is 25°. By means of different foreoptics several other FOV's can be realised.

Emissivity Box 1 (Thermal Remote Sensing Unit)
The
central part of the emissivity box is formed by a parallelepiped (30´30
cm2 wide, 80 cm high). Walls are made of perfectly polished aluminium,
whose radiative response is close to a perfect mirror, with near zero
emissivity (˜0.03). Two lids are used alternatively as top of the
box: the hot lid and the cold lid. Both are provided with central holes
through which the radiometric measurements are done. The hot lid is made
of anodised and rough aluminium painted of Parson's black. Its spectral
response is very similar to a perfect emitter with an emissivity eh@0.98.
The cold lid is made of polished aluminum, with an emissivity 0.03. And
additional third lid, equal to the cold one but without hole, will be
also used as bottom of the box. Walls and lids were coated externally
whit sheets, 5 cm thick, of a material with low thermal conductivity.
Moreover, the hot lid has been provided with a heating system made up
of several electric resistances equally distributed on the lid and located
between the external side of the hot lid and the coat of insulating material.
A thermostat and an energy power supply complete the system heating. -
Emissivity Box 2 (Global Change Unit)
A box for emissivity measurements was constructed by the GCU. Inner walls and cold lid of very high reflectivity, polished aluminium. Hot lid equipped with electrical resistance of 750 W, a Digital Thermostat (-20 to 120 ºC) with a precision of 0.5 ºC, and an integrated heat sensor.

Sampling

The LAI-2000 consists, basically, of two units: the control unit LAI-2070 and the optic sensor LAI-2050. The unit control owns the electronics mechanisms necessary for measuring, calculating and saving the results of the measurements. The optic sensor consists of an exterior lens, a filter, several interior lenses and several restrictors in order to limit the azimuthal field of view of the sensor.

Global positioning systems (GPS) dataloggers: ProXL and Geo Explorer, from Trimble
The LAI-2000 equipment determines the probability of viewing the sky through the vegetation cover in different directions.
The LAI-2000 measures the descent of the solar diffuse radiation through the 5 angles simultaneously; to reach that, the optic sensor projects the image of its hemispheric vision to the 5 concentric detectors. The angles the sensor optic measures over are: 0-13 (7º), 16-28 (23º), 32-43 (38º), 47-58(53º) and 61-74 (68º), all them measured from the zenith.
