These data can be used to construct a
height and distance profile of the site where the climate station is located. These
measurements should be repeated e

of the site. To collect these data, it is best to stand on a ladder at the same height as the solar
radiation sensor and to record the measurements from there. Use Figure 20E

to get an idea of what the “Height Profile” section looks like in the Data
Management Tool.
a) Position yourself in the exact location where the station will be placed and face north.
b) Climb up the ladder to the height of the solar radiation sensor and measure the distance to
the nearest object (e.g. tree, house, etc.) using the laser range finder or measuring tape
and record this value on the
Site Metadata Form . For any distance greater than 250
meters, record 9999.
c) Measure the angle in degrees to the top of the object using the clinometer and record the
value on the
Site Metadata Form . If using the Nikon Forestry 550 rangefinder, simply
record the angle that is reported on the instruments screen.
d) Rotate 5 degrees to the East and repeat the above steps.
e) Keep rotating in 5 degree increments until you are facing north again.
f) Upload these data to the TEAM portal in the h
