USA (latitude 3885404500N; longitude 76890400W). The field site
was a flat, 0.2 km2 corn field. During the course of the
experiments the corn plants were fully matured and pollinating.
Within the measurement site, the average corn height (h)
was 3m, measured from the ground to the top of the tassels.
