AmeriFlux and Methane Evaluation VAP Now Available for Barrow Data
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are suspected to be key drivers of global climate change. As Arctic permafrost melts, it unlocks stored carbon, which may contribute to large increases in the atmospheric mixing ratios of these gases. Understanding the rates and controlling mechanisms of these releases is of great importance for climate prediction and modeling. The ARM…

New Evaluation Product Provides Improved Eddy Correlation Data
Eddy correlation flux measurement systems (ECOR) are used by ARM to provide surface turbulence flux measurements. The Quality Controlled Eddy Correlation Flux (QCECOR) value-added product (VAP) improves the ECOR data by applying the following quality control (QC) procedures: Eddy correlation corrections Determination of the quality-controlled energy fluxes from the corrected ECOR fluxes Stringent QC checks.…
