Scaling Isoprene Fluxes from Leaves to Canopies: Test Cases over a Boreal Aspen and a Mixed Species Temperate Forest
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The rate at which isoprene is emitted by a forest depends on an array of environmental variables, the forest?s biomass, and its species composition. At present it is unclear whether errors in canopy-scale and process-level ...
A Comparison of a Hierarchy of Models for Determining Energy Balance Components over Vegetation Canopies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several methods for estimating surface energy balance components over a vegetated surface are compared. These include Penman-Monteith, Deardorff, and multilayer canopy (CANWHT) models for evaporation. Measurements taken ...
The Boreal Ecosystem–Atmosphere Study (BOREAS): An Overview and Early Results from the 1994 Field Year
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Boreal Ecosystem Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) is large-scale international field experiment that has the goal of improving our understanding of the exchanges of radiative energy, heat water, CO2, and trace gases between ...
FLUXNET: A New Tool to Study the Temporal and Spatial Variability of Ecosystem–Scale Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor, and Energy Flux Densities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: FLUXNET is a global network of micrometeorological flux measurement sites that measure the exchanges of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy between the biosphere and atmosphere. At present over 140 sites are operating ...
FLUXNET-CH4 Synthesis Activity: Objectives, Observations, and Future Directions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the formation of, and initial results for, a new FLUXNET coordination network for ecosystem-scale methane (CH4) measurements at 60 sites globally, organized by the Global Carbon Project in partnership ...
