Prospects for Aircraft‐Based Gas Exchange Measurements in Ecosystem Studies
1988
Matson, P. A. (Pamela A.) | Harriss, Robert C.
Aircraft sampling of the planetary boundary layer can be used to measure trace gas distributions and fluxes directly on regional scales. Laser—based detection and in situ atmospheric sampling can be used for fast—response, accurate measurements of gas concentrations in a column of air over time. Lidar (light detection and ranging) techniques provide a unique method for determining the structure and dynamics of the boundary layer over time. Under stable atmospheric conditions, the combination of these techniques allows estimates of gas exchange between the biosphere and atmosphere.
