The eddy correlation (ECOR) flux measurement system provides half - hour measurements of the surface turbulent fluxes of momentum, sensible heat, latent heat, and carbon dioxide.

Eddy Correlation Flux Measurement System (ECOR) Instrument Handbook.

These data are from the ARM Eddy Correlation Flux Measurement system, the Energy Balance Bowen Ratio station, the Soil Water and Temperature System, the Surface Meteorological Observation Systems, and the Oklahoma Mesonet.

Not exact matches

Ocean heat flux is a turbulent and complex system [7] which utilizes atmospheric measurement techniques such as eddy covariance to measure the rate of heat transfer expressed in the unit of joules or watts per second.

Dessler (2011) used observational data (such as surface temperature measurements and ARGO ocean temperature) to estimate and corroborate these values, and found that the heating of the climate system through ocean heat transport was 20 times larger than TOA energy flux changes due to cloud cover over the period in question.

Whereas previous synthesis efforts have lacked measurements from temperate and subtropical systems, our data set addresses this gap by including a number of recent GHG flux estimates from US, European, Australian, and Asian temperate and subtropical reservoirs (figure 2, table 2).

ΔCRF is the change in TOA net flux anomaly if clouds were instantaneously removed, with everything else held fixed, and it is determined by subtracting ΔRall - sky, obtained from CERES measurements, from the clear - sky flux anomalies ΔRclear - sky, obtained from a reanalysis system.»

Although we did not explicitly address the temporal or spatial resolution of emission data from each system, it is notable that the few published acoustic and eddy covariance - based reservoir CH4 flux estimates are quite high compared to the median CH4 flux estimates from less temporally and / or spatially integrated measurement techniques (figure 1).

The majority of measurements from old systems and high latitude systems have been diffusive only (supplemental figures S4 and S5), which may underestimate true CH4 fluxes.

Future study of boreal reservoir GHG fluxes should target these underrepresented systems and incorporate more comprehensive ebullition rate measurements.

Therefore, a correction factor (× 0.2458) was applied, obtained from a series of simultaneous CO2 flux measurements from a floating chamber connected to an EGM - 4 (PP - Systems) performed at the same time as surface gas concentrations were collected [4](data from 2007 to 2010, n = 57, r2 = 0.689, p < 0.001; unpubl.

Differences in variations in ocean heating rate and satellite net TOA flux are well within the uncertainty of the measurements and, therefore, cast doubt on the argument for «missing energy» in the climate system.

Terrestrial flux and boundary - layer measurements represent a new, expanding and potentially hugely important resource for improving our understanding of these processes and their representation in models of the climate system.

NASA cancelled its Carbon Monitoring System (CMS), a $ 10 million - a-year program, which provides funding for research aimed at improving the measurement of carbon stocks and fluxes.
