surface.CO2: CO2 Concentration at the Canopy Surface
Description
the CO2 concentration at the canopy surface derived from net ecosystem
CO2 exchange and measured atmospheric CO2 concentration.
Usage
surface.CO2(Ca, NEE, Ga_CO2, Tair, pressure)
Value
Ca_surf -
CO2 concentration at the canopy surface (umol mol-1)
Arguments
Ca
Atmospheric CO2 concentration (umol mol-1)
NEE
Net ecosystem exchange (umol CO2 m-2 s-1)
Ga_CO2
Aerodynamic conductance for CO2 (m s-1)
Tair
Air temperature (degC)
pressure
Atmospheric pressure (kPa)
Details
CO2 concentration at the canopy surface is calculated as:
$$Ca_surf = Ca + NEE / Ga_CO2$$
Note that this equation can be used for any gas measured (with NEE
replaced by the net exchange of the respective gas and Ga_CO2 by the Ga of
that gas).
