Atmospheric Boundary Layer Measurements in South-Central Kansas, 1997–2004

The scientific approach used multiple measurement systems, high spatial density, and fine sampling intervals over an extended period of time (greater than seven years) within a well-defined spatial domain (the Walnut Creek watershed) combined with continuous on-site scientific management. The areas...

More Information
Summary:The scientific approach used multiple measurement systems, high spatial density, and fine sampling intervals over an extended period of time (greater than seven years) within a well-defined spatial domain (the Walnut Creek watershed) combined with continuous on-site scientific management. The areas of primary emphasis were 1 the air-surface exchange of carbon dioxide, in support of AmeriFlux studies of terrestrial carbon balance; 2 the water budget and its seasonal and event variability at multiple spatial scales within the watershed; and 3 support for caseS in investigations of mesoscale meteorology, hydrology, climate, and chemistry processes and their linkages.
