  1. Fig. 4: The main tower at the Harvard Forest Fig. 1: The topography at Harvard Forest. Note the exaggerated vertical scale. - determine whether measurable drainage flows exist - evaluate whether these are connected to missed CO2 fluxes - estimate magnitude of advective terms relative to eddy flux and storage Fig. 5: Inter-calibration of the anemometer array Fig. 2: The layout of the latest Draino Study. 2D: 2-dimensional sonic anemometer C#: inlet for horizontal CO2 gradient system Data Acquisition Hardware Links Fig. 6: One of the "satellite stations" consisting of 2-D sonic anemometer and CO2 inlet 3D Sonic Network Link to Albany Licor #1 Licor #2 23X PC, Linux Cyclades Operating Multi-Serial Port System 2D #1 2D #2 Dat Tape Zip Drive 2D #3 etc. Fig. 7: The "horizontal CO2 sampling system", based on a Licor7000 and a Valco rotary valve Fig. 3: Arbitrarily expandable serial data stream acquisition system Nocturnal CO2 Fluxes and Understory Drainage Flows Ralf M.

The continuity equation can be used to test the integrity of the data regarding mass flow: (5)
