ObjectivesObjectives To systematically monitor CO2, water vapor
and energy flux over land regions associated with different soil characteristics as well as in Coastal and Oceanic regions
To understand Carbon dynamics and other related bio-geo-chemical processes at regional/biome scale, including species diversity
To support validation of satellite remote sensing of land products and theoretical models
Impact of air-quality and trans-boundary air-pollution on ecosystems
