Zusammenfassung |
High concentration ozone in the troposphere has negative effect on human health and plant
tissue. To investigate the vertical changes of ozone fluxes at different heights, 4-layer
ozone fluxes were measured by using eddy covariance method above and below the
canopy of a 55 yr old spruce forest (Fichtelgebirge, Germany). The heights are 1m
17m 25m and 32m above ground. The mean tree height is about 21m. The sonic
anemometers are 3 Gill R2 and 1 CSAT3, and fast ozone sonde are also made in different
companies or home-built. As ozone sondes at different heights are not the same, to
eliminate the error caused by instruments, side-by-side comparison was also executed.
The results show there was lager difference in ozone flux measured by different
sondes located at the same position. The biggest relative error can reach as high as
40
standard, spectral analysis method was used to evaluate their precisions and uncertainties. In
this study, we calculated the power spectra and cospectra (with vertical speed) of 5 sondes
using 72 run half-hourly 20Hz raw data. All normalized spectral density was averaged
according to different frequency range. By analyzing spectral density distribution with
frequency and comparing to theoretic curve, we determined the best one as the relative
standard. Meanwhile, the relationships between the standard and other sondes were
calculated. Finally, we compared the ozone fluxes before and after correction. The
corrected fluxes at different heights are more reasonable compared with that before. |
