The invention provides an unmanned aerial vehicle observation system for monitoring and researching carbon-water flux of a regional scale ecosystem. The unmanned aerial vehicle observation system comprises a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle, scientific observation parts and a ground control monitoring station; the scientific observation parts comprise a porous turbulence probe, an open-circuit water vapor and carbon dioxide gas analyzer, a gas analyzer electronic case, a GPS/INS combined positioning and attitude determination system, an airborne control computer and a power supply battery; the scientific observation parts are all installed on a platform of the fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle. According to the invention, observation task requirements of most ecological systems can be met; latent heat flux and carbon dioxide flux exchange capacity of a regional ecological system can be directly observed; the invention has the advantages of low observation cost, strong expansibility,flexible and portable ob
