Short-Course: Flux Measurement Fundamentals A technical short course in the use of micrometeorological methods to obtain and analyze fluxes of momentum, heat, and chemical species by eddy-covariance, eddy accumulation and related techniques. Supported by NSF-IGERT. July 9-15, 2006 Graduate Students, Postdocs, Scientists Conducted at the University of Michigan Biological Station Instructors: HaPe Schmid (Indiana University), Brian Lamb (Washington State University), Alex Guenther (National Center for Atmospheric Research) Key Course Components • A. Theory of turbulent exchange measurements: Boundary layers; turbulence statistics; TKE / stability; similarity; WPL “correction”, energy balance closure. • B. Flux measurement techniques: eddy-covariance (EC), disjunct EC (DEC), relaxed and disjunct eddy accumulation (REA, DEA). Open-path and closed-path systems. Constraints of available VOC analytical techniques. Choice of flux technique. Site selection. • C. Install and operate an EC and energy balance measurement site, collect and analyze its data. Data logger and analysis programming for flux and energy balance applications. • D. QA/QC: uncertainty and systematic errors; spectral response and spectral windowing; gap-filling issues and techniques. Structure: 5 full course days, plus 2 days travel to and from UMBS. AM and PM sessions as 1) lectures; and 2) hands-on segments (labs/ exercises/ instruments/ data analysis). Tuition: $1200, incl. lodging (6 nights) and dining at UMBS.
