Task
1.2.1 Footprint and quality assessment of main flux sites:
Each of the Main Sites of the cluster
flux network will be evaluated by means of quality checks on eddy covariance
data as well as for the representativeness of the fluxes of the respective
footprints. To this purpose each Main Site footprint will be evaluated
on the basis of a georeferenced land use/cover digital map. This information
will be provided to the flux database as additional information for modellers
as well for further flux corrections and error analysis.
Responsible for this task: Thomas
Foken and Mathias
Göckede, University of Bayreuth
