Environment
The hyperspectral spectrometer (FLOX-Ocean Optics) at the EddyCovariance facility (carbonflux
tower) in Adventdalen will give time-series of very detailed spectral properties (spectral resolution
<1 nm) included sun induced fluorescence (of vegetation which will be used for calibration of NDVI-sensors
in Adventdalen. The project (SIOS Instrument #49) is part of the Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing
System and is approved by Longyearbyen lokalstyre.

Lunar Precision Filter Radiometer (Lunar PFR)
Manufacturer: Physikalisch-Meteorologisches Observatorium Davos/World Radiation Center (PMOD/WRC), Dorfstrasse 33, CH-7260 Davos Dorf, Switzerland
The Lunar PFR is operating automatically after initial set-up. In case of power break the operations routine is restarted automatically. The instrument is operated in Ny-Ålesund only during the polar night months (late October - early March). During the summer half-year the instrument is sent to PMOD/WRC for annual calibrations.
Measurements are performed continuously, following a pre-programmed schedule to track the moon, as long as the moon is above the horizon.
