Estimating the spatiotemporal structure of carbon fluxes to the atmosphere to a high degree of certainty is indispensable in the context of ongoing climate change. The quantification of these fluxes is crucial to assess potential feedbacks between the climate and the carbon cycle, and to manage changes…
This work introduces a new fully automated FTIR system for ground-based total column measurements of atmospheric greenhouse gases. It is part of the Total Carbon Column Observation Network (TCCON), which has the main role to provide data for calibration and validation of satellite based measurements…
Several studies sustained the possibility that a photochemical reflectance index (PRI) directly obtained from satellite data can be used as a proxy for ecosystem light use efficiency (LUE) in diagnostic models of gross primary productivity. This modelling approach would avoid the complications that are…
