FLUXNET
FLUXNET

FLUXNET is a global network of eddy covariance flux towers. Each tower is equipped with gas sensors to continuously measure the fluxes of trace gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor between the land surface and the atmosphere. These towers are also equipped with various meteorological sensors to measure air temperature, precipitation, winds, radiation, and soil temperature. Currently, FLUXNET has over 250 flux tower sites across the globe in various vegetation types such as tundra, tropical, forest, and grasslands.
