The KAS-241 Analog Sensor measures Soil Heat Flux in automatic weather station environments. The heat flux sensor comprises a two-dimensional physical mass with a known thermal conductivity. A differential thermometer measures the temperature difference across the thickness of the mass. As the calculations are complex, proprietary differential temperature sensors are used to measure the flux and report it. The processing electronics is kept in a separate enclosure, separate from the sensing environment. The sensor is especially suited for deployment in agricultural and green house management applications and research.
