Photosynthetically Active Radiation

Abbreviation for Photosynthetically Available Radiation, a quantity used in studies of photosynthesis as a measure of total available light. It is defined as a flux of quanta rather than energy and is usually considered to be the total photon flux between 400 and 700 nm (with the lower limit sometimes moved to 350 nm). This is around 38% of the total extraterrestrial solar irradiance. PAR is defined, as a function of depth, by where is Avagadro's constant, is Planck's constant, the speed of light, the wavelength, and the irradiance. The units of PAR are einsteins per square meter per second, and it is measured underwater using a device called a quantum meter.
