  • Abstract
    Directional measurements of effective radiant temperatures (ERT) were made from a rotating mount suspended above an Oak-Hickory canopy. A directional ERT distribution is presented showing fairly weak trends with view angle. Additional data are presented to illustrate the character of spatial variations of ERT as a function of view and sun angle.
