Emerging measurement technologies and integrated observing approaches
This presentation describes advances in a low-power, autonomous eddy covariance system for measuring ocean–atmosphere greenhouse gas fluxes from marine platforms. The system combines improved gas and wind sensors, motion correction, and onboard real-time processing. Field deployment in the Gulf of Maine demonstrated sustained operation and reduced motion-related errors, supporting more scalable ocean flux observations under challenging real-world marine environmental conditions.
