What Eddy Covariance Towers Tell Us About Climate Trends
Eddy covariance (EC) towers have revolutionized how scientists understand and monitor climate trends. These towers directly measure the exchange of gases—primarily carbon dioxide (CO₂), water vapor, and energy—between the Earth’s surface and the atmosphere. This method offers real-time, site-specific, and long-term datasets, which are crucial for identifying trends in carbon uptake and release, evapotranspiration rates, … Read more
