sense@datasense.fiDescription
Fluxscout mobile Eddy Covariance tower is based on Campbell Scientific IRGASON technology. Is a fully integrated open-path eddy covariance system combining a 3-D sonic anemometer and an open-path CO₂/H₂O gas analyzer into a single compact instrument. Designed for high-precision flux measurements, it minimizes spatial separation between wind and gas measurements, providing superior data quality under real environmental conditions. The system is ideal for ecosystem research, greenhouse gas exchange studies, and flux tower applications.
