What are we Measuring with Eddy-Flux? 3-Dimensional wind speed and direction Incoming/outgoing radiation CO 2, O 2, and H 2 O vapor concentration Temperature Relative Humidity Precipitation Taken every 0.25 seconds! Atmospheric-vegetation interaction Climate change modeling Net Primary Productivity, Etc.

The Heavy-Duty aluminum crank-up towers are designed to accommodate antennas with large wind surface areas up to 18sq.ft. and 125 lbs. of dead weight. These models will accommodate a large variety of commercially available rotors and a universal rotor plate is welded in place. This will allow a beam or other directional type antenna to be oriented. Telescoping towers are complete with a heavy duty 2” dia. X.125 wall x 8 ft. long mast, guy ears on each section, heavy-duty building bracket and tilt base. Model T-100H Approx Extended Height: 120 feet Weight: 400 lbs Temporary base and Telescoping Tower Specifications Power infrastructure similar to current P301 Tower. Tower will be T-120H or smaller
