Plaine des Fougères (under canopy)
The Plaine des Fougères under-canopy atmospheric station (PFFr1290) is equipped with precision meteorological instruments to monitor key environmental variables within the forest understory. The station has been operational since April 2015, with measurements recorded at 15-minute intervals until March 2025, after which the sampling frequency was increased to 5-minute intervals. The station features a Campbell CS215 sensor measuring air temperature and relative humidity, providing continuous data on the thermal and moisture conditions beneath the canopy. Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is monitored using a Campbell SKP215 sensor, capturing the light availability crucial for understanding photosynthetic processes in the shaded forest environment. Additionally, a Campbell 237-L sensor measures leaf wetness, offering valuable insights into canopy moisture dynamics and microclimatic conditions. This comprehensive instrumentation enables detailed characterization of the atmospheric conditions in the understory of this tropical forest ecosystem.
