Solar Radiation. Is the amount of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves coming from

the sun. Radiation from the sun spans a wide range of frequencies from the Ultra violet (100-

400 nm) passing through the visible light (400-700 nm) and the infrared or heat (700 – 10

nm).

Tipping Bucket. Device to estimate rainfall automatically without human intervention. A

tipping bucket collects rain through a funnel that fills one side of a bucket that is pivoted in

the middle. As one side of the bucket fills with water the weight drives it down releasing the

water and causing the bucket to tip to other side, where the process starts again. Each tip is

recorded by the data logger as a pulse signal and is equivalent to a fixed amount of rain

(usually 0.1-0.2 mm).

Tower (Base tower). Refers to a structure that houses the sensors, the enclosure, the solar

panel and the battery. TEAM uses a 3 m aluminum tower (UT-10, Campbell Scientific) with

a lightning rod and ground cable.

Core Area. Defined as the area (25-30 m

) where the climate station (tower, sensors and

tipping buckets) is contained. The core area should be regularly maintained and fenced for

security and to avoid intrusion of animals.
