NEU Flux Network Sites in relation to EMEP network • Level 3: N and GHG fluxes: Core Measurements + Special Topics. Includes high cost micromet methods and process analysis. • Level 2: Basic N and GHG flux monitoring, e.g. COTAG, simple cuvettes • Level 1: Basic N air concentration measurements at 50 CO2 flux sites. e.g. DELTA low cost denuders.
