Journal ArticleDOI

Footprint prediction of scalar fluxes from analytical solutions of the diffusion equation

TL;DR: The use of analytical solutions of the diffusion equation for "footprint prediction" is explored in this paper, where the upwind area most likely to affect a downwind flux measurement at a given height is compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mercury emissions from burning of biomass from temperate North American forests: laboratory and airborne measurements

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the emission of mercury from biomass burning in laboratory experiments and the results confirmed in airborne measurements on a wildfire near Hearst, Ont. The smoke plume from a small wildfire was investigated with a research aircraft yielding a mean output of 0.15±0.02 ng/m 3 of elemental mercury for each ppm of CO2 emitted.
Book ChapterDOI

An evaluation of aircraft flux measurements of CO2, water vapor and sensible heat

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared ground-based and aircraft flux measurements of CO2, latent and sensible heat obtained from repeated passes in four directions and at three elevations over a homogeneous wheat-growing area.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical and chemical observations in marine stratus during the 1993 North Atlantic Regional Experiment: Factors controlling cloud droplet number concentrations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined 14 flights in marine stratus over the Gulf of Maine and Bay of Fundy in August and September of 1993 for the relationship among the cloud droplet number concentrations, the out-of-cloud aerosol particle number concentrations (N a ), the major ion concentrations in the cloud water, and turbulence in cloud.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scaling up flux measurements for the boreal forest using aircraft‐tower combinations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) measurements of carbon dioxide, water vapor, sensible heat, and momentum obtained over the boreal forest from the twin Otter aircraft and six tower-based systems.
