FIELD INSTALLATION
SRS Sensors
rather than the vegetation in the inter-spaces. The GIFOV of a field
stop SRS that is mounted in the nadir position (i.e., looking straight
down) is determined by two factors: the angular field of view (which
is fixed at 18
◦
(half angle)) and the height of the sensor above the
canopy.

where
h
is the height of the sensor above the canopy. Consider a sen-
sor mounted 2 m above a canopy. The GIFOV would be 2*(
tan
(18)*
2
),
which equals a 1.3 m diameter circle.
If the field stop sensor is pointed off-nadir (no longer facing straight
down) then the GIFOV becomes elliptical. When using the SRS in
an off-nadir view angle, be sure that the field of view does not go
above the horizon. For help in calculating the FOV, you can use the
simple calculator from Apogee found at:

Note: You should use the 18 degree half angle in the calculation
