Title: Radiant Energy Exchange Above and Within a Dwarf Apple Orchard
Authors: Suckling, Philip
Advisor: Davies, J. A.
Department: Geography
Keywords: Energy Exchange;Dwarf Apple;Apple Orchard;radiation balance
Publication Date: May-1974
Abstract: <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>
