Project Fast Response Infrared Gas Analyzer (IRGA) for portable MaRTa micrometeorological station to measure timber growth and water usage in forest ecosystems post-timber harvest or post-wildfire.

General Information

1.0 Scope of Work

The USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station requests dataloggers. These dataloggers and peripheral modules will be deployed to replace aging systems that also use Campbell Scientific dataloggers. The wiring, sensors, and environmental enclosures built around these older Campell loggers will be retained. By purchasing Campbell products, we are ensuring that the only steps necessary for replacement will be to upload existing code to the new loggers and wire them into our existing systems. Purchasing from other vendors would require re-engineering our systems and sensors and writing new code. Furthermore, purchasing all the items from Campbell is preferred because the required peripherals such as the thermocouple module and analog input module are made to work only with Campbell systems. A datalogging system cannot be constructed out of incompatible elements. Lastly, the Campbell CR series is the industry standard for high-quality, reliable measurements. Campbell loggers have performed well in our challenging field conditions for decades.
