This hyghly practical handbook is an exhaustive treatment of eddy covariance measurement that will be of keen interest of scientists who are not necessarily specialist in micrometeorology. The chapters cover measuring fluxes using eddy covariance technique, from the tower installation and system dimensioning to data collection, correction and analysis. With a state-of-the-art perspective,the authors examine the latest techniques and address the most up-to-date methods for data processing and quality control the chapters provide answers to data teatment problems including data filtering, footprint analysis, data gap filling, uncertainty evaluation, and flux separation, among others. The authors cover the application of measurement technique in different ecosystems such as forest, crops[...]

The chapters cover measuring fluxes using eddy covariance technique, from the tower installation and system dimensioning to data collection, correction and analysis. With a state-of-the-art perspective,the authors examine the latest techniques and address the most up-to-date methods for data processing and quality control the chapters provide answers to data teatment problems including data filtering, footprint analysis, data gap filling, uncertainty evaluation, and flux separation, among others. The authors cover the application of measurement technique in different ecosystems such as forest, crops, grassland, wetland, lakes and rivers, and urban areas, highlighting peculiarities, specific practices and methods to be considered. The book also covers what to do when you have all your data, summarizing the objectives of a database to demonstrate the way the sould be maintained and managed. Policies for data use, exchange and publication are also discussed and proposed.
