Korea: Flux Monitoring Over a Rice Paddy

Case Study »  Korea: Flux Monitoring Over a Rice Paddy

Project Summary
Location:
Seoul, Korea

Products Used:
CSAT3A  CR9000  CSAT3  CR23X 

Contracting Agencies:
Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Yonsei University

With instrumentation and help from Campbell Scientific, personnel from the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea, measured greenhouse gas fluxes over a rice paddy in the summer of 1999. Campbell Scientific provided three systems to make the measurements: a methane/carbon dioxide/water vapor eddy covariance system, a methane profile system, and a carbon dioxide/water vapor profile system. Instrumentation used in the systems included TGA100 Trace Gas Analysers, CSAT3 Sonic Anemometers, data loggers (CR9000 and CR23X), hygrometers, and LI-COR 6262 H2O/CO2 analysers.
