Journal ArticleDOI

Characterisation of short-term extreme methane fluxes related to non-turbulent mixing above an Arctic permafrost ecosystem

TL;DR: In this article, a wavelet analysis was used to calculate CH4 fluxes in the permafrost wetlands of NE Siberia, in order to resolve highly variable flux events on the order of minutes.
Journal ArticleDOI

CO2 exchange and biomass development of the herbaceous vegetation in the Portuguese montado ecosystem during spring

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used portable chambers to study CO2 exchange by the herbaceous layer component of the Montado ecosystem in southern Portugal during the active growing period between March and May.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment and up-scaling of CO2 exchange by patches of the herbaceous vegetation mosaic in a Portuguese cork oak woodland

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined CO 2 exchange of three different herbaceous vegetation components distributed over montado landscapes and within the footprint of long-term landscape eddy covariance monitoring studies, and found that slow drainage of shallow basins, the onset of drying at higher sites and a high release of CO 2 below tree canopies significantly influenced the overall course of montado ecosystem gas exchange during the spring.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measuring the 3-D wind vector with a weight-shift microlight aircraft

TL;DR: In this paper, the 3D wind vector is measured from a low-cost microlight aircraft and a transferable procedure is proposed to accommodate flow distortion originating from the aircraft body and -wing.
