Resumen
The AP200 is a complete, integrated CO2 and H2O atmospheric profile system. It measures carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) concentration from up to eight intakes, which are normally spaced along the height of a tower to give a vertical profile. The AP200 is often used in conjunction with an eddy-covariance system to measure the storage term and provide you with a more complete measure of the surface gas exchange.

-
Possibly. For example, to measure advection because of a drainage flow on sloping terrain, an AP200 system could be deployed with two towers, upstream and downstream along the slope, with four intakes on each tower.
-
The number of intakes required at a site depends on the characteristics of the canopy. For example, the canopy’s height and density directly affect the change in CO2 and H2O concentrations. Order enough intakes to accurately profile these concentration changes. The AP200 may be ordered with anywhere from four to eight intake assemblies.
-
The intake tubes can be quite long—up to a few hundred meters. Contact Campbell Scientific to ask about specific requirements for an application.
-
The intake heaters are wired in parallel, so that each heater sees a nominal 12 Vdc.
-
A dewpoint generator is used as an H2O standard. Dewpoint generators are laboratory instruments and are not suitable for long-term deployment in the field.
-
It depends on the type of chambers. The AP200 requires a constant flow of sample air for each intake, so it will not work with small chambers that require the air sample to recirculate. However, it might be possible to use the AP200 with chambers that allow a continuous sample flow to be extracted.
-
No. The AP200 requires flow from at least four intake assemblies for smooth operation of the pump.
-
No. Because the AP200 has only eight inlets for air samples, it can only operate with a maximum of eight intake assemblies.
-
Adding sensors to the AP200 is not recommended.
