Caption

This image shows eddy covariance flux tower in winter in Atqasuk, Alaska, USA (Global Change Research Group, San Diego State University). The special, on demand, heating of the sonic anemometer developed by Donatella Zona and Walter Oechel allowed extending the flux measurements during the entire year under the harsh arctic conditions while maintaining data quality.
