Überblick

Das KH20 ist ein Hygrometer zur Messung von schnellen Fluktuationen im atmosphärischen Wasserdampfgehalt (keine absoluten Konzentrationen). Normalerweise wird es zusammen mit dem CSAT3(B) in Eddy-Kovarianzsystemen eingesetzt.

Technische Beschreibung

The KH20 is typically used with a CSAT3B Sonic Anemometer in eddy-covariance systems for measuring water vapor flux. This highly sensitive hygrometer measures rapid fluctuations in atmospheric water vapor. It does not measure absolute concentrations. The KH20 is compatible with most of our data loggers.

Routine maintenance is required to keep source windows free of scale. You can use the water vapor absorption coefficient for scaled window from the data report if the window will be allowed to scale during measurements.

Number of FAQs related to KH20: 4

Alle anzeigenWenige anzeigen

  1. Where is the KH20 listed as a component in the Short Cut (SCWin) program?

    The sensors used in the eddy-covariance flux application, including the KH20, are not supported by SCWin.

  2. What is the best way to replace the sealant around the KH20 source/detector tubes?

    The seal around the source/detector tubes is not user serviceable. If the seal has failed, return the KH20 to the factory for repair. Follow the steps listed on our Repair and Calibration page to request a return material authorization (RMA) number. 

  3. How does the KH20 work?

    For a description, refer to the “Basic Measurement Theory” section in Appendix A of the KH20 Krypton Hygrometer Instruction Manual.

  4. Is there a composite program for eddy-covariance measurements that uses the KH20?

    An open-path eddy-covariance program is available for purchase as pn 18442, CRBasic Basic Eddy Covariance Program. This is the program without energy balance sensors. Also available is pn 18443, CRBasic Extended Eddy Covariance Program, with energy balance sensors. To order a custom configured program, contact the Micrometeorology Flux group for assistance.
