This computation involved: Man: Eddy Correlation Technique deployed on Kuujjuarapik, Hudson Bay, Canada. The eddy covariance (eddy correlation, eddy flux) technique is a prime atmospheric flux measurement technique to measure and calculate vertical turbulent fluxes within atmospheric boundary layers. It is a statistical method used in meteorology and other applications that analyzes high-frequency wind and scalar atmospheric data series, and yields values of fluxes of these properties. Such flux measurements are widely used to estimate momentum, heat, water, and carbon dioxide exchange, as well as exchange of methane and other trace gases.
