Calibrating the LI-7000 for H2O

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

Microsoft Word - TechTip4

To calibrate the LI-7000 CO2/H2O Analyzer for water vapor, LI-COR recommends using our LI-610 Dew Point Generator. The LI-610 generates a known water vapor concentration and reports the dew point value on the front LCD display in units of Degrees C. The gas stream can then be plumbed directly into the LI-7000′s appropriate inlet port….

Calibrating the LI-7000 for Eddy Covariance Measurements

Monday, January 5th, 2009

LI7000

Many customers use a closed-path Analyzer (such as the LI-7000 CO2/H2O Analyzer) for making Eddy Covariance measurements. When employing this method of measurement, the user will typically use a pump downstream of the analyzer. The pump will pull air (typically between 8 and 15 liters per minute) from the sampling site where the sonic anemometer…
