SFB/TRR 32 Project D2 : Experimental study of spatio-temporal structures in atmosphere-land surface energy, water and CO2 exchange
Description:
Land surface–atmosphere exchange of energy and momentum but also of water and CO2, is highly variable in space and time. In order to identify spatial and temporal patterns of exchange parameters, an experimental framework will be established which combines continuous ground based in situ measurements with state-of-the-art remote sensing observations and dedicated aircraft campaigns within the Rur catchment. Monitoring and campaign activities will be used to assess long-term regional carbon and water balances and provide boundary layer characteristics necessary for the modeling groups in the SFB/TR.
