Issue 37: Eddy Covariance (EC) Air/sea Gas Flux Best Practice Workshop

The SOLAS Event Report Issue 37 reports on Eddy Covariance (EC) Air/sea Gas Flux Best Practice Workshop, which took place from 28-30 March 2023, in London, UK.

This 2.5-day international workshop was convened to discuss the major advances that have been made in the field of eddy covariance flux measurements. The aim was to consolidate current understanding to help prevent others from repeating past mistakes. The community assembled (~25 scientific experts from around the world) to discuss and begin the process of documenting the steps required to achieve best quality air/sea eddy covariance (EC) gas flux measurements from a moving platform. The focus was on air-sea carbon dioxide (CO₂) fluxes, although many of the conclusions will be relevant to other marine gases.
