Ship-Based Eddy Covariance Data, 2007-2008 CFL IPY Project
As part of this project, an eddy covariance system was deployed to monitor fluxes of CO2, H2O, heat and momentum. The following variables were continuously sampled at a rate of 10 Hz (instrument used to collect each variable is in parentheses, and approximate instrument height above surface is indicated):
-3D wind velocity (Gill R3 and Gill Windmaster Pro ultra-sonic anemometers) - 15m -Sonic air temperature (Gill R3 and Gill Windmaster Pro ultra-sonic anemometers) - 15m -CO2 molar concentration (LI7500 open path gas analyzer) - 15m -H2O molar concentration (LI7500 open path gas analyzer) - 15m -CO2 mixing ratio (LI7000 integrated into a closed path system) - 15m -H2O mixing ratio (LI7000 integrated into a closed path system) - 15m -3D ship motion - angular rates and accelerations (MotionPak, Systron Donner)
All instruments were mounted on a meteorological tower on the bow of the research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen.
