Time: 11:00 am to 12:00 pm EST, 10:00 to 11:00 pm CST, 9:00 to 10:00 am MST, 8:00 to 9:00 am PST

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.

2025-08-06 - 2025-08-08
With the rapid expansion of the flux community and the upcoming FLUXNET Data System Initiative, hundreds of new global sites will soon contribute eddy covariance (EC) data to community flux networks. As community interest in using flux data for validating and parameterizing land surface models grows, there remains a steep learning curve for both flux and modeling communities due to the technical expertise required for members of either scientific community. The use of EC data in modeling requires an understanding of the models’ core components and assumptions, as well as an understanding of EC data limitations and processing, where the utility of EC data in modeling differs significantly depending on the type of model being used and the scale that it operates at. Insufficient understanding of either component has the potential to hinder scientific advancement and can even lead to misinterpretation of findings.
The workshop will be held in person in Berkeley, California. Registration has closed.

AGU Chapman Conference: Energy Balance Closure Problem
