Quantitative knowledge of the surface energy balance is essential for the prediction of
weather and climate. However, a multitude of studies from around the world indicate that the …

A detailed analysis of the various processes at work in stable boundary layers was made. It
pointed out that two main mechanisms may affect eddy covariance measurements in stable …

A comprehensive evaluation of energy balance closure is performed across 22 sites and 50
site-years in FLUXNET, a network of eddy covariance sites measuring long-term carbon and …

Heightened awareness of global change issues within both science and political
communities has increased interest in using the global network of eddy covariance flux …

Independent measurements of the major energy balance flux components are not often
consistent with the principle of conservation of energy. This is referred to as a lack of closure …

This Chapter summarizes the steps of quality assurance and quality control of flux
measurements with the eddy covariance method. An important part is the di erent steps of …

At present a network of over 100 field sites are measuring carbon dioxide, water vapor and
sensible heat fluxes between the biosphere and atmosphere, on a nearly continuous basis …

Both observational and numerical studies of the convective boundary layer (CBL) have
demonstrated that when surface heat fluxes are small and mean wind shear is strong …

The Chinese Terrestrial Ecosystem Flux Research Network (ChinaFLUX) is a long-term
national network of micrometeorological flux measurement sites that measure the net …

Flux data are noisy, and this uncertainty is largely due to random measurement error.
Knowledge of uncertainty is essential for the statistical evaluation of modeled and measured …
