So...we have a mess:

  • 3 EC150 serial numbers aren't known
  • Haven't (yet) done lab tests of the LiCors
  • Of the comparables, less than half agree between lab and field
  • Only 2 EC150s have good comparisons with both H2O and CO2
  • The LiCor H2O values all have a large offset from the EC150, they are about 2 g/m3 higher than TRH
  • EC150.tnw02 used as the H2O reference is about 1.5 g/m3 lower than TRH.  Even the highest EC150 value (tse05) is lower than the TRH by at least 0.5 g/m3.
  • Even during the "well mixed" 28 May 21:00-23:00 case, TRH values vary by +/-0.4 g/m3, so a cross-site comparison can't be accurate.
  • The good news: after 29May, the biases appear to be about constant.  (There was a change in the period 26–29 May.)
    • Licors, using v07 as a reference:
      • before 26 May rsw04, v04, and v06 had biases of +0.2, -0.3, +0.3, respectively
      • after 26 May, these had biases of 0.5,1.3, 0.0, respectively
    • EC150s, using tse07 as a reference: biases are about constant throughout
  • 28May 21-23; 14 Jun 01-03; 22May 21-23; (but really want night cases – lots of wind, no local uptake...)
  • No labels
