Global Climate Change
Global climate changes result from interaction between, and variations in, complicated climate factors including the ocean, land masses, rain forests, snow/ice fields and so forth that directly affect the atmosphere. Increases in greenhouse gases, and chemical depletion of ozone, combined with natural variations in ozone density and aerosol production, are major factors in global climate changes. EKO presents a wide-ranging product line for the observation of climate change.

Global Environment
Global environmental crises and the human response cross the world's borders and are problems for all humankind. EKO presents a product lineup that is geared to the investigation of variations in environmental factors aimed at understanding this phenomenon.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is classified into three wavelength ranges. They are the UV-A (315 - 400 nm), UV-B (280 - 315 nm) and UV-C (100 - 280 nm). UV-A is not strongly absorbed by ozone; therefore it is only weakly affected by decreases in the ozone layer. It's intensity and geometric distribution are however affected by aerosols. UV-C is completely absorbed by the ozone layer and does not reach the earth's surface in statistically important intensities. However, UV-B is strongly affected by changes in the ozone density in the atmosphere. This UV-B reaches the earth's surface and is harmful to human skin, eyes, and is known to cause cancer and cataracts. EKO's lineup of UV radiometers and UV spectroradiometers are designed to measure these two longer wavelength ranges.

Spectral measurements are required for the observation and recording of the spectral radiation produced by the sun and artificial sources. Until recently, spectral radiometers were only available for the assessment of artificial, indoor sources. However, the demand for the field measurement of the spectral energy distribution of natural sunlight has steadily increased. EKO offers spectroradiometers for the continuous outdoor measurement of the solar spectrum as well as indoor light sources (tanning lamps, weathering lamps, lighting systems, etc.).

Remote sensing represents a technology that is geared to the measurement of physical properties of objects widely removed from the sensor and makes use of radio waves, sound waves, heat, and ultraviolet or infrared radiation, etc. Weather radars for the observation of rainfall, satellite imaging systems for cloud observations, and thermography are but three examples of remote sensing.

EKO's UV-laser based LIDAR system, which is presently undergoing beta-testing, has been designed to measure the vertical altitude distribution of temperature, humidity and aerosol optical depth. This Multi-LIDAR system measures in real time.

There are many and various kinds of natural plants in the world - these include plants for food production, forests and weed colonies. Vegetation research represents the investigation of the features and roles of plants and plant colonies, a knowledge of which plays a major role in land and forest management, and conservation programs. Remote sensing is also used in vegetation research. Various instruments manufactured by EKO for the study of vegetation are presented below.
