Eddy covariance method: for scientific, industrial, agricultural, and regulatory applications ; a field book on measuring ecosystem gas exchange and areal emission rates

This book was authored by LI-COR Principal Scientist George Burba. Dr. Burba has been an integral member of the advanced research and development group responsible for research and development of fast-response gas analyzers. He has authored or co-authored over 170 journal and conference papers, books, and book chapters relevant to the eddy covariance technique, and has been an invited speaker at international conferences on flux measurements. He has conducted over 20 field campaigns and stand-alone eddy covariance experiments, and collaborated with researchers from Ameriflux, Asia Flux, Canadian Carbon Program, CarboEurope, Fluxnet, ICOS, NEON, OzFlux and other flux networks.
