IRGASON - integrated eddy covariance IRGA and 3D Sonic

Irgason - Integrated IRGA and 3D Sonic Anemometer
Campbell Scientific are pleased to announce the IRGASON, the only integrated in-situ open path gas analyser and 3D sonic anemometer specifically designed for eddy covariance studies. Combining the two sensors into a single instrument has several important benefits including increased aerodynamics to minimise airflow disruption; lower power consumption; co-located measurement volumes, temporally synchronised measurements and simpler system installation. The IRGASON simultaneously measures absolute carbon dioxide and water vapour densities, air temperature, barometric pressure, and three dimensional wind speed and sonic air temperature. Used in combination with a Campbell Scientific CR3000 datalogger and Campbell's EC software the IRGASON forms part of Campbell's Eddy Covariance flux measurement system. The low power consumption of the IRGASON, means that such systems can now realistically be solar powered in most situations.
Benefits: Unique optical layout allows for a slim aerodynamic shape with minimal wind distortion and body heating Co-located analyser and sonic anemometer measurement volumes Measurements are temperature compensated without active heat control Analyser and sonic anemometer measurements are temporally synchronized by a common set of electronics Low power consumption; suitable for solar power applications Maximum output rate of 50 Hz with 25 Hz bandwidth Factory calibrated over wide range of CO2, H2O, pressure and temperature in all combinations encountered in practice Fully compatible with Campbell Scientific dataloggers; field set-up, configuration, and field zero and span can be accomplished directly from the datalogger Extensive set of diagnostic parameters to warn of questionable data Tolerant to window contamination Angled windows to shed water Download a leaflet (580 KB)
