Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, wind, radiation, and soil moisture influence the physiological responses captured by the LI-6800. A field-deployed HOBO weather station provides the real-time, on-site microclimate data you need to contextualize leaf-level gas exchange measurements. This ensures your data reflects actual conditions, not modeled or acquired from distant weather stations.
A HOBO weather station uploads climate data directly to LI-COR Cloud with a service plan, allowing you to easily access and analyze your data. The LI-6800's data remains stored on the instrument. Together, they:
Start with a common weather station configuration or customize your setup with additional sensors based on your site, measurements, and research goals. Options may include:
Automatically downloads data in real-time from sensors and delivers it to LI-COR Cloud via cellular
Annual plan that enables communication with LI-COR Cloud via cellular data (in countries supporting coverage)
Measures ambient air temperature and humidity for localized ET insights
Measures global solar radiation in watts per square meter (W m⁻²) for plant behavior insights
Reveals the impact on transpiration and gas exchange rates
Measures rainfall intensity and total precipitation to gauge precipitation variability across landscapes
Measures total solar radiation to determine how shading or sunlight exposure varies across microclimates
Mounting bracket, sensor leveling kit for pyranometer, and a HOBO weather station 2-meter tripod kit
Pairing the LI-6800 with a weather station gives you a complete environmental picture, helping you interpret plant responses with confidence.
