Measurements of eddy fluxes are premised on the assumption that wind velocities measured accurately by an ultrasonic anemometer. Recently, Gill anemometers have been shown to suffer errors depending angle attack, which is between vector and horizontal. The correction these results in general flux increases. However, since calibration for error dependent attack was carried out a tunnel experiment under conditions nearly laminar flow, applicability this field data turbulent has questioned. In...

Abstract Eddy covariance flux research has relied on open‐ or closed‐path gas analyzers for producing estimates of net ecosystem exchange carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) and water vapor H O ). The two instruments have had different challenges that led to development an enclosed design is intended maximize strengths minimize weaknesses both traditional designs. Similar the analyzer, leads minimal data loss during precipitation events icing, it does not surface heating issues. open‐path design, good...

Abstract The memory timescale that characterizes root‐zone soil moisture remains the dominant measure in seasonal forecasts of land‐climate interactions. This is a quasi‐deterministic associated with losses (e.g., evapotranspiration) from column and often interpreted as persistence states. Persistence, however, represents distribution time periods where resides above or below some prescribed threshold therefore inherently probabilistic. Using multiple data sets collected at high resolution...

Here, the year 2011 characteristics of evapotranspiration and energy budget a black spruce forest underlain by permafrost in interior Alaska were explored. Energy balance was nearly closed during summer, mean value daily ratio (the turbulent fluxes to available energy) from June August 1.00, though large deficit observed spring. Such explained partly consumed snowmelt. Ground heat flux played an important role balance, explaining 26.5% net radiation summer. The this summer 1.37 mm day−1 –...

Abstract. Eddy covariance observations play a pivotal role in understanding the land–atmosphere exchange of energy, water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and other trace gases, as well global cycle earth system. To promote networking individual measurements sharing data, FLUXNET links regional networks researchers studying processes. JapanFlux was established 2006 country branch AsiaFlux. Despite growing number shared data globally, availability Asia is currently limited. In this study, we developed...

Abstract Spring snowmelt occurs for a short duration on an annual time scale, but their timings considerably affect the carbon and hydrological cycle in high‐latitude ecosystems. Here, we developed simple model, treating ecosystem surface as bulk‐surface layer. Energy fluxes across this bulk snow‐soil boundary determine snow temperature energy utilized snowmelt. Parameterizing using decade‐long eddy covariance site data from two Alaskan open black spruce forests offered opportunity to...
