TECO: Studies of Radon and CO2 Exchange by the Land Surface and their Transport in the Surface Layer and the Planetary Boundary Layer

DEB-9814976 浆果 华盛顿卡内基研究所 该提案的目的是继续开发一种方法，将氡用作二氧化碳大气迁移的示踪剂。 实地工作将在堪萨斯南部和北方俄克拉荷马州的大平原进行。 技术包括涡流积累和涡流协方差测量与模拟建模相结合。 这项研究与其他几个相关的项目和计划有关，这些项目和计划将涡动通量数据与全球通量数据和模型联系起来。 研究结果应提供一个强大的工具，在不同的空间尺度上的碳循环的理解。

DEB-9814976 BERRY CARNEGIE INSTITUTION OF WASHINGTON The aims of this proposal are to continue development of a method for use of radon as a tracer for atmospheric transport of CO2. Field work will be done in the Great Plains of Southern Kansas and Northern Oklahoma. Techniques include eddy accumulation and eddy covariance measurements combined with simulation modeling. The research is linked to several other related projects and programs that relate eddy flux data to global flux data and models. Results should provide a powerful tool in relating understanding of the carbon cycle at different spatial scales.
