Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), Toronto, ON, requires a radiation flux sensor suite for research and meteorological observation purposes.  This includes the supply and delivery of one (1) fully automated and calibrated radiation flux sensor suite of instruments with training documentation, hardware and software user manuals in accordance with Annex A, Requirement.  Shortwave up/downwelling, and longwave up/down/north/south/east/west radiation components will be measured alongside snow depth and soil temperature and moisture by a suite of instruments attached to a single platform. The suite of instruments required to perform these observations will make up the ‘radiation flux sensor suite.’

The prime purpose is to study fluxes of radiation in order to monitor meteorological conditions near the Iqaluit airport (65o N). The suite of sensors will be mounted onto an existing flux tower in order to complement a research network of meteorological instruments at Iqaluit in order to improve weather forecasting and conduct satellite validation. The instruments may also be used for physical field studies of high impact weather in both warm season and cold season environments.

All instruments and sensors must operate autonomously (no operator required) and from a remote location. They must operate continuously in extreme weather conditions (Canada’s High Arctic) year-round completely unattended, as specified in Annex A, Requirement.
