Radiant Energy Exchange Above and Within a Dwarf Apple Orchard

<p> The radiation balance of a dwarf apple orchard was evaluated.
Results compared favourably with those for a single apple tree in an
earlier investigation. Reflection, heating and longwave exchange
coefficients were analysed. </p> <p> Transmitted global radiation was measured with moving and
stationary sensors. Coefficients for the partitioning of incident global
radiation were calculated. A relationship between photosynthetically
active radiation and global radiation was established. Coefficients for
the partitioning of incident photosynthetically active radiation were
obtained and compared to the global radiation components. A problem
associated with the measurement of transmitted radiation is discussed
briefly. </p> / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)
