The EC Method: System Design and Instrumentation

This is the second of five educational webinars on the eddy covariance method.

As Earth's climate warms, understanding how greenhouse gases move between the atmosphere and biosphere is more important than ever. The eddy covariance method is a well-developed micrometeorological technique that is used to address this topic. The information it provides is invaluable for refining global climate models, and it can also help guide ecosystem management decisions. In this webinar, we will discuss how to design an eddy covariance system, identify the flux footprint, and select the proper instrumentation.
