Overview
The LI-COR LI-193 Underwater PAR Sensor gives an added dimension to underwater PAR measurements as it measures photon flux from all directions. This measurement is referred to as Photosynthetic Photon Flux Fluence Rate (PPFFR) or Quantum Scalar Irradiance. This is important, for example, when studying phytoplankton, which utilize radiation from all directions for photosynthesis. The LI-193 features a high sensitivity optical design and compact, rugged construction for use in freshwater or saltwater and pressures up to 493 psi or 350 meter depths.

  • Absolute Calibration: +/-5% in air traceable to NBS
  • Sensitivity: Typically 7 uA per 1000 umol s-1 m-2 in water
  • Linearity: Maximum deviation of 1% up to 10,000 μmol s-1 m-2
  • Stability:< +/-2% change over a 1 year period
  • Response Time: 10 us
  • Temperature Dependence: +/-0.15% per C maximum
  • Angular Response:< +/-4% error up to +/- 90 degrees from normal axis
  • Azimuth:< +/-3% error over 360 degrees at 90 degrees from normal axis
  • Detector: High stability silicon photovoltaic detector (blue enhanced)
  • Sensor Housing: Corrosion resistant metal with acrylic diffuser for both saltwater and freshwater applications
  • Waterproof: withstands 500 psi pressure (350 meter depths)
  • Size: 6.1cm Dia. globe; 3.18cm dia. housing; 10.7cm H
  • Weight: 142g
  • Mounting: (3) 6-32 holes are tapped into the base for use with the 2009S Lowering Frame or other mounting devices
  • Cable: Requires 2222UWB Underwater Cable

Exploring the Link between Biodiversity and Species’ Recovery After Oil Spills in the Gulf of Mexico

When the Deepwater Horizon oil spill happened in 2010, media outlets were flooded with images of oil-covered birds and dead jellyfish. Wildlife populations of many kinds plummeted. Fishing and tourism plunged with them. The Deepwater Horizon spill was considered one of the largest environmental disasters in American history. Years later, populations were still struggling and oil was still washing up on Gulf coast beaches.

Plankton Portal enlists public to classify thousands of zooplankton images

Zooplankton drifts through the ocean, often ignored by the public in favor of more charismatic marine organisms farther up the food chain. A new crowdsourced project aims to change that, giving anyone a closer look at small and intricate zooplankton. PlanktonPortal.org features 900,000 high resolution images of zooplankton and tasks the public to identify them as part of data processing for a collaborative study, based out of the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. Researchers hope the project will tell them more about zooplankton behavior, grouping and interaction.

Maine researchers to study diatoms in Greenland lakes

Researchers from the University of Maine will be studying diatoms in 30 Greenland lakes this summer to understand how the single-celled organisms react to seasonal changes, according to the Polar Field Services Newsletter. The researchers will take their first samples just as the ice melts off the lakes. They will collect a second round of samples during the middle of the summer, when the weather warms up. A monitoring buoy, lent to the researchers from the University of Miami Ohio, will furnish sensors to measure temperature, light, chlorophyll and other water quality parameters. Inflatable boats will be used to access some of Greenland’s remote lakes.
