The novel technology used in the LAI-2200 has distinct advantages over other indirect LAI measurements approaches, including:
The LAI-2200 measures gap fraction at multiple zenith angles with a single measurement. In contrast to linear sensors, there is no need to wait for the sun angle to change or make multiple measurements to acquire this data.
Measures up to a 360° azimuthal view. This provides a large sample area for good spatial averaging.
Exclusive software provides powerful tools for post-processing.
