An Eddy Covariance Station measures CO2, water vapor, or heat fluxes using the eddy covariance technique. A standard equipment set includes a CSAT3 Sonic Anemometer, a CR5000 Measurement and Control System, scalar sensors (CS7500 Open Path Infrared Gas Analyzer, FW05 fine-wire thermocouple, KH20 Krypton Hygrometer, and TGA100A Trace Gas Analyzer). Customers can add sensors to customize a system for their requirements. If the system will be solar powered, a 65 watt solar panel is the mimimum required.
