| Zusammenfassung |
| A quantum cascade laser spectrometer was evaluated for eddy covariance flux
measurements of CH4 and N2O using three months of continuous
measurements at a field site. The required criteria for eddy covariance flux
measurements including continuity, sampling frequency, precision and
stationarity were examined. The system operated continuously at a dairy farm
on peat grassland in the Netherlands from 17 August to 6 November 2006.
An automatic liquid nitrogen filling system for the infrared detector was
employed to provide unattended operation of the system. The electronic
sampling frequency was 10 Hz, however, the flow response time was
0.08 s, which corresponds to a bandwidth of 2 Hz. A precision of
2.9 and 0.5 ppb Hz−1/2 was obtained for CH4 and N2O,
respectively. Accuracy was assured by frequent calibrations using low and
high standard additions. Drifts in the system were compensated by using a
120 s running mean filter. The average CH4 and N2O
exchange was 512 ngC m−2 s−1 (2.46 mg m−2 hr−1) and
52 ngN m−2 s−1 (0.29 mg m−2 hr−1). Given that 40% of
the total N2O emission was due to a fertilizing event. |
