Linking Optical and Energy Fluxes Workshop
Remote sensing can help scientists interpret carbon, water, and energy flux measurements at eddy covariance sites by providing contextual information on community composition and vegetation function, as well as scale fluxes globally. Additionally, flux data can inform remote sensing measurements which do not directly measure carbon and water fluxes.
Workshop goals:
Build awareness of the existing synergies, challenges, and opportunities between remote sensing and flux science.
Foster new cross-disciplinary connections to identify and address knowledge gaps and uncertainties associated with both flux and remote sensing data.
Increase the accessibility, usability, and standardization of remote sensing data so that it can be used to inform flux data, following the FAIR principles.

Abstract:
The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) urban greenhouse gas (GHG) testbeds program has supported research to quantify urban GHG emissions for more than a decade. Most of that research has focused on the joint development of both atmospheric GHG inversions to derive city-wide GHG emissions estimates and research-grade urban GHG emissions inventories. The Indianapolis Flux Experiment (INFLUX) has been working to explore the use of eddy covariance flux measurements for understanding urban GHG budgets. This presentation will review the experimental design of the INFLUX eddy covariance flux measurement network and present examples of how this flux network has advanced our understanding of GHG fluxes in the city of Indianapolis.
