Field Spectroradiometer measures upwelling and downwelling.
February 22, 2013 -
Able to be mounted in towers and simultaneously measure upwelling as well as downwelling, UDS-1100 is suited for surface reflectance measurements where it is inconvenient or impractical to take frequent reflectance panel reference scans. Built-in DARWin Data Analysis software permits automatic reflectance scanning for unattended operation. Along with 320–1,100 nm spectral range, features include ability for users to choose communication modes, power operation, and mounting styles.

SPECTRAL EVOLUTION Introduces the UDS-1100 Upwelling/Downwelling Field Spectroradiometer
Simultaneous field measurement of upwelling/downwelling can provide spectral information about forest canopies, vegetation, crops, the ocean, and more.
Lawrence, MA – Upwelling radiation is reflected or emitted upward from the earth’s surface. Downwelling radiation is directed toward the earth from the sun and atmosphere. Studying their relationship can provide insight into the spectral characteristics of vegetation, soil and crops, forest canopies, ocean studies, climactic changes, environmental studies of ice and snow, hydrologic studies, and more.
The UDS-1100 is perfectly suited for surface reflectance measurements where it is inconvenient or impractical to take frequent reflectance panel reference scans, especially on days with shifting cloud cover. The UDS-1100 simultaneously measures upwelling and downwelling. It can be mounted easily in towers and features built-in DARWin Data Analysis software that permits automatic reflectance scanning for unattended operation.
The UDS-1100
• 320-1100nm spectral range
• Simultaneous measurement of full sky irradiance and surface radiation
• Fully configurable – you choose communication modes, power operation, and mounting styles
• Ideal for tower deployment
All SPECTRAL EVOLUTION spectrometers are equipped with the exclusive DARWin SP Data Analysis software package so you can take advantage of the following analysis features:
• Simultaneously capture and plot upwelling and downwelling with one measurement
• Plot data and review results in radiometric or photometric units
• Single and multiple spectral plots available
• Compare current scans against libraries
• Automatically saves data as an ASCII file to 3rd party software – no extra export function is necessary
The UDS-1100 can be used in a range of applications, for example:
• Vegetation studies including research on forest canopies
• Crop and soil scanning
• Ocean studies of algae and aquatic plants and how much light is available to them
• Water studies researching environmental quality
• Climactic studies of snow, ice, water, and land
• Hydrologic studies
• Studies of aerosols in the atmosphere
