Langley Calibrated UV Irradiance near Mead, NE
UV-B, Visible and NIR Radiation Data
We participate in the USDA UV-B Monitoring Program (a station at the Ag Meteorology Laboratory at Mead, NE), which provides temporal trends of ultraviolet -B (UV-B), visible and erythemal radiation and derived products such as UV daily sums, contour maps, UV index, ozone column and optical depths.

Automated Weather Data Network Maps - High Plains Region
The AWDN maps show soil temperature, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, total precipitation, relative humidity, solar radiation, wind speed, and potential evapotranspiration for the past 1 or 7 days for the High Plains Region.

Solar Radiation Instrumentation
Global Solar Radiation
Global solar radiation measurements were acquired in support of year-round measurements of ecosystem-level fluxes of CO2, water vapor and energy in three major cropping systems: (a) irrigated continuous maize (US-Ne1), (b) irrigated maize-soybean rotation (US-Ne2), and (c) rainfed maize-soybean rotation (US-Ne3). Our study sites are part of AmeriFlux (the Carbon Flux Network of the Americas).

Photosyntheically Active Radiation at Ag Meteorology Laboratory near Mead NE
Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)
We participate in the USDA UV-B Monitoring Program (a station at the Ag Meteorology Laboratory at Mead, NE) Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) irradiance is an irradiance in Watts per square meter over the 400 to 700 nanometer spectral range. It is measured with a separate PAR pyranometer sensor.
