CarboEuropeIP: Cropland Sites Inquiry

Form to Provide Information on Cropland Sites

As agreed by the Cropland group in Levi, 16 November 2005

Please note: This is an HTML form. It only works if your browser supports forms (this is the case with all currently available browsers, but not with very old ones). In case you are facing any difficulties please send e-mail to Werner Eugster, werner.eugster_at_ipw.agrl.ethz.ch.

At the bottom of this form there is a SUBMIT. Remember to press the SUBMIT button when you have filled out the form to send all that information to Werner Eugster!

Cropland Site:

If your site is contained in the list above, then please select the correct site name from that list.

If your site is not yet in the list above, then please provide the following information in the two input fields below:

Site code: Name of site: .

Your first and given name:

Your e-mail address:

Characteristics of Site

There are roughly 15 questions to be answered below. At the bottom there is an extra field for any type of additional remarks that could be of interest. It should not take you more than 10 to 15 minutes to fill out this form.

Photograph:

If you want to submit more than one characteristic photograph of the site then please send them as an e-mail attachment to werner.eugster_at_ipw.agrl.ethz.ch.

Sonic anemometer used:
Please specify additional details here if necessary:

Sampling rate of sonic: records per second

Infrared gas analyzer (IRGA) used:
Please specify additional details here if necessary:

Sampling rate of IRGA: records per second

Data aquisition system:
Please specify additional details here if necessary:

How are sonic and IRGA connected? We want to get an overview whether the two instruments are recorded digitally or as analogue signals which are e.g. digitized by the data logger or a special PC card. A serial port could also be an SDI device of a logger, an USB connection, or an RS-232 or RS-485/422 connection. Please specify details in the line below the selection list.
Please specify additional details here if necessary:

Power supply for flux measurements:
Please specify additional details here if necessary:

Tower location:
Please specify additional details here if necessary:

Site management concept:
Please specify additional details, especially dimension of fenced area and/or special concept how to proceed with flux measurements whenever the farmer wants to manage his field (e.g. plowing, tilling, grubbing, fertilizing, sewing, harvesting, ...):

If you have a fenced area for your instruments then please indicate the main reasons (e.g. prevent damage from wild boars; theft protection; ...):

Measurement height:
Please specify additional details here (especially about measurement heights and concept when to change the height, if ever):

Net radiation: To address the question whether energy budget closure might be indicative also of accuracy of CO2 flux measurements, we want to know the instruments and concepts used to measure net radiation and ground heat flux.
Please specify additional details here if necessary:

Ground heat flux:
Please specify additional details here if necessary:

Number of heat flux plates or soil temperature profiles:
