abstract = {A minimum-disturbance chamber for canopy net CO2 and H2O
flux measurements is described. The system is a passively
(optionally actively) ventilated tunnel with large (similar
to 0.14 m2) in- and outlet cross sections covering a surface
area of approximately 1.6 m2. A differential, non-drying
closed-path gas analyzer is used to minimize the requirement
for concentration build-ups or drawdowns between the in- and
outlet, and 0.05 mm thick FEP (fluorinated ethylene
propylene) film is used as top and wall material to minimize
radiation modifications. First measurement results in
passively ventilated mode are presented from two different
sites: a wheat field at a lowland site in the westernmost
part of Germany, and differently cropped adjacent fields in
the Pyrenee foothills in France, including grassland and a
cereal-dominated crop mixture for fodder production. Flux
estimates derived from measurements over 20–30 min
deployments were compared to concurrent observations by
three eddy covariance (EC) stations. The system compared
well to EC measurements, with bias of $−6.6\%$ for latent
heat flux and $+9.0\%$ for CO2 flux (R2 = 0.78 and 0.74,
respectively). The presence of the chamber causes a
reduction of less than $4\%$ in incoming shortwave
radiation, and an increase of about $18\%$ in downward
longwave radiation. Near the outlet, CO2 concentration was
on average modified by $−3\%$ with respect to outside
conditions, water vapour concentration by $+22\%,$ and
temperature by +0.9 K, staying below published modifications
of a comparable non-steady-state chamber closed for 2 min.
Ventilation speed varied by less than $9\%$ across the inlet
cross section. Limitations include a minimum wind speed
requirement that can be set as low as 0.2 m s−1 for a raw
data logging frequency of 1 s−1 or higher, but would need
to be higher for slow-response gas analyzers. At the same
time, a measurement period of 10 min or more is recommended
to minimize random errors from storage term fluctuations. A
correction for the added water vapour volume by
evapotranspiration is derived and tested, which typically
affects H2O flux itself by less than $+2\%$ and CO2 flux
measurements by 1 μmol/J latent heat.},
