Simulations of below-canopy solar
radiation
at the
Wind River Canopy Crane Research Facility
Scott N. Martens
-
Introduction and
Simulations with CrnSol
-
Some background info on the simulations and results for first simulations
with CrnSol; includes a map of tree locations.
-
The Digital
Elevation Model for the Crane Site
-
Shows the details of the DEM constructed for the crane site: elevation,
slope, aspect. Includes a plot of tree locations.
-
Simulation results
of below-canopy PAR from SolTran
-
Includes a description of the SolTrans model, its parameterization, and
results. View animations of the daily and yearly time-courses of
transmitted direct PAR at the site. View an animation of a vertical transect
of fisheye views.
-
Comparison of
modeled vs measured below-canopy PAR
-
Includes a map of the locations of the points measured, a plot of the daily
time course of PAR at those points and in the open, and simulated time
courses of PAR at each point.
