Daytime Radiation Regimes within a Corn Canopy

<p> A micrometeorological investigation was conducted over and within
a crop of corn (Zea mays, var. Seneca Chief). The purpose of the experiment was to observe net radiation profiles within the canopy and to
determine their behavior with respect to crop density. Discussion of
the construction and evaluation of linear net radiometers for use in
this study is included. The net radiation profiles are examined and
compared with existing theoretical models. The form of the profiles is
studied and a new model of net global radiation profiles based on micrometeorological data and crop parameters is discussed. </p> / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)
