Calibration Information

Infrared gas analyzer of EC system was calibrated approximately in every 6 months with standard CO2 gases and a dew point generator (LI610, Li-Cor). The CO2/H2O concentration profile system is being calibrated once a day for the zero(CO2, H2O) and span CO2 concentration. H2O span is being manually calibrated once a week. Other micrometeorological instruments are being calibrated approx. once in every 2 year.
