Picarro L2130-i Water Isotope Analyzer with Induction Module
A bench top system that performs isotope analysis of liquids and matrix-bound water in soil and plant material (for delta 18 O and delta D). We use this to help us understand the source waters for plants. L2130-i Manual IM-CRDS Manual L2130-i Datasheet A0213 Datasheet |
Weather Station (weather@wayne)
A weather station on top of the WSU Physics rooftop in midtown Detroit that provides real time temperature, humidity, wind, rain, and solar radiation data. CR300 Datalogger CS100 Barometric Pressure Sensor CS215 Temperature/Humidity Probe 03002 RM Young Wind Sentry Set TE525 Tipping Bucket Rain Gage with 6" orifice CS300 Apogee SP-110 Pyranometer CCFC Field Camera |
Urban Eddy Covariance / Flux Tower
A tower of instruments that together provides estimates of the exchange of water (evapotranspiration), carbon dioxide (carbon release or storage) and energy (sensible and latent heat fluxes) between the land surface and the atmosphere at 30 min intervals. We expect to install this in July 2019.

Hydrosense II Soil Moisture Measurement System
A portable handheld device for measuring in situ soil moisture as volumetric water content (in percent). We have two devices and two different lengths of rods available (12 cm and 20 cm). Manual |
SC-1 Leaf Porometer
A handheld battery operated device that measures in situ stomatal conductivity. We use this to help us understand when plants are using water. Manual Calibration Video |
