TL;DR: In this article, the authors have described the measurement system and the procedure followed for the computation of the fluxes and procedure of flux summation, including data gap filling strategy, night flux corrections and error estimation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The energy balance closure problem: an overview.
TL;DR: It will be shown that former assumptions that measuring errors or storage terms are the reason for the unclosed energy balance do not stand up because even turbulent fluxes derived from documented methods and calibrated sensors, net radiation, and ground heat fluxes cannot close the energy balance.
Book ChapterDOI
Post-Field Data Quality Control
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized the steps of quality assurance and quality control of flux measurements with the eddy covariance method and the fulfillment of the theoretical assumptions of the measuring method and thenonsteady state test and the integral turbulence test.
Journal ArticleDOI
50 Years of the Monin–Obukhov Similarity Theory
TL;DR: The universal length scale for exchange processes in the surface layer was the basis for the derivation of the similarity theory by Monin and Obukhov in 1954 as mentioned in this paper, and the current status of the theory is described, covering topics such as the accuracy of the universal functions and turbulent Prandtl number.
