The HFP01SC measures heat flux, typically as a component within energy balance or Bowen ratio flux systems. The HFP01SC is manufactured for Campbell Scientific by Hukseflux (Delft, The Netherlands). The sensor outputs a voltage signal that is proportional to the heat flux of the surrounding medium. At least two sensors are required for each site to provide spatial averaging. Sites with nonhomogeneous media may require additional sensors.
