New study reduces uncertainty in greenhouse gas measurements

A drone's-eye view looking straight down onto a dense, dark green forest canopy. At the centre of the image, a small scientific monitoring tower with instruments and a boom arm is just visible above the treetops, dwarfed by the expanse of surrounding woodland.

A new study gives insight into one of the longest-standing challenges in ecosystem and climate science: when measuring energy exchange between the ecosystem and atmosphere, part of the energy cannot be accounted for. This has effects on the usability of measurements and their uncertainty in modeling applications. The results show that through standardised global observations […]
