Eddy Covariance Flux Towers are in situ micrometeorological surface towers. They are equipped with gas sensors to continuously measure the trace gas fluxes between the land surface and the atmosphere. Eddy Covariance Towers are typically used to measure fluxes for carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and water vapor (H2O). These towers are also equipped with various meteorological sensors to measure air temperature, precipitation, winds, radiation, and soil temperature.
