Assessing the eddy covariance technique for evaluating carbon dioxide exchange rates of ecosystems: past, present and future

TL;DR: The eddy covariance method is most accurate when the atmospheric conditions (wind, temperature, humidity, CO2) are steady, the underlying vegetation is homogeneous and it is situated on flat terrain for an extended distance upwind as discussed by the authors.

Improvements to a MODIS global terrestrial evapotranspiration algorithm

TL;DR: In this article, an improved version of the global evapotranspiration (ET) algorithm based on MODIS and global meteorology data has been proposed, which simplifies the calculation of vegetation cover fraction, calculating ET as the sum of daytime and nighttime components, adding soil heat flux calculation, improving estimates of stomatal conductance, aerodynamic resistance and boundary layer resistance, separating dry canopy surface from the wet and dividing soil surface into saturated wet surface and moist surface.

GLEAM v3: satellite-based land evaporation and root-zone soil moisture

TL;DR: The Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM) as discussed by the authors is a set of algorithms dedicated to the estimation of terrestrial evaporation and root-zone soil moisture from satellite data.

Environmental controls over carbon dioxide and water vapor exchange of terrestrial vegetation

TL;DR: The authors compared seasonal and annual estimates of CO2 and water vapor exchange across sites in forests, grasslands, crops, and tundra that are part of an international network called FLUXNET, and investigated the responses of vegetation to environmental variables.

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.

Correction of flux measurements for density effects due to heat and water vapour transfer

TL;DR: In this article, the basic relationships are discussed in the context of vertical transfer in the lower atmosphere, and the required corrections to the measured flux are derived, where the correction to measurements of water vapour flux will often be only a few per cent but will sometimes exceed 10 percent.

Physiological and environmental regulation of stomatal conductance, photosynthesis and transpiration: a model that includes a laminar boundary layer

TL;DR: In this article, a system of models for the simulation of gas and energy exchange of a leaf of a C3 plant in free air is presented, where the physiological processes are simulated by sub-models that: (a) give net photosynthesis (An) as a function of environmental and leaf parameters and stomatal conductance (gs); (b) give g, as well as the concentration of CO2 and H2O in air at the leaf surface and the current rate of photosynthesis of the leaf.

Estimates of the annual net carbon and water exchange of forests: the EUROFLUX methodology

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.
