2010-02-14
On Sunday February 14th an experiment with the purpose to measure the latent heat flux under low water vapor conditions was started by Daniela Pfab and Tobias Biermann at the research station located at Nam Co, in 4700m on the Tibetan plateau which is run by the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS). In order to improve the humidity measurements an additional KH20 is installed at the existing Eddy-Covariance Station and a new calibration system is tested. The Experiment is conducted in close cooperation with the Institute of Tibetan Plateau research and is part of the two Projects CEOP AEGIS ( FP7 Topic ENV.2007.4.1.4.2) and DFG TiP (SPP 1372).
