We performed comprehensive quality control for eddy-covariance measurements from 3 farmland sites and 1 industrial site adjacent to Nakdong river. The quality control program is based on Foken and Wichura (1996) and Vicker and Mahrt (1997) and we added criteria for trend and standard deviation for scalar variables and modified criteria for non-stationarity condition of Foken and Wichura (1996) to consider random error of fluxes. The classification of data quality is designed for the raw data and the processed flux data, separately. Use of added criteria efficiently reduces the number of outlier for water vapor and $CO_2$ fluxes and use of modified criteria for non-stationarity reduces the number of outlier for scalar fluxes and increases the number of data with accepted quality for further work. Energy balance ratio is higher in farmlands than industrial site, which is due to neglect of heat storage term in industrial site. Among farmland sites, C4 site shows higher energy balance ratio than other sites. This is due to more homogeneous surface of C4 site than other farmland sites. However, energy balance ratio is very low or even negative at night. Mismatch between the flux footprint and the other energy component footprint over the heterogeneous surface is main cause for energy imbalance at night. Other possible causes are also discussed.

This research note introduces the procedure of the quality control and quality assurance applied to the eddy covariance data collected at the two KoFlux sites (i.e., Gwangneung forest and Haenam farmland). The quality control was conducted through several steps based on micrometeorological theories and statistical tests. The data quality was determined at each step of the quality control procedure and was denoted by five different quality flags. The programs, which were used to perform the quality control, and the quality assessed data are available at KoFlux website (http://www.koflux.org/).

The Tak flux measurement (TFM) site, one of the sites of Korean Flux Network (KoFlux) which is an infrastructure of AsiaFlux, is constructed at a northwest of Thailand. The eddy covariance technique is used for measuring energy, water and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) fluxes, and a real time monitoring and simulation system (RTMASS) developed for data acquisition and processing. The RTMASS is the core structure of the KoFlux-data information system (KoFlux-DIS) and consisted of a remote and a local system. Data acquisition and transmission, and data storage, processing and publishing are functions of those systems, respectively. As primary results about the characteristics of mean flow and turbulence analysis, TFM is a proper site to measure and analyze the various fluxes and those budgets on tropical deciduous forest.

$CH_4$ is a trace gas and one of the key greenhouse gases, which requires continuous and systematic monitoring. The application of eddy covariance technique for $CH_4$ flux measurement requires a fast-response, laser-based spectroscopy. The eddy covariance measurements have been used to monitor $CO_2$ fluxes and their data processing procedures have been standardized and well documented. However, such processes for $CH_4$ fluxes are still lacking. In this note, we report the first measurement of $CH_4$ flux in a rice paddy by employing the eddy covariance technique with a recently commercialized wavelength modulation spectroscopy. $CH_4$ fluxes were measured for five consecutive days before and after the rice transplanting at the Gimje flux monitoring site in 2012. The commercially available $EddyPro^{TM}$ program was used to process these data, following the KoFlux protocol for data-processing. In this process, we quantified and documented the effects of three key corrections: (1) frequency response correction, (2) air density correction, and (3) spectroscopic correction. The effects of these corrections were different between daytime and nighttime, and their magnitudes were greater with larger $CH_4$ fluxes. Overall, the magnitude of $CH_4$ flux increased on average by 20-25% after the corrections. The National Center for AgroMeteorology (www.ncam.kr) will soon release an updated KoFlux program to public users, which includes the spectroscopic correction and the gap-filling of $CH_4$ flux.

We have analyzed wind and eddy covariance data collected within roughness sublayer over sloping terrain. The study site is located on non-flat terrain with slopes in both south-north and east-west directions. The surface elevation change is smaller than the height of roughness element such as building and tree. This study examines the directional wind shear for data collected at three levels in the lowest 10 m in the roughness sublayer. The wind direction shear is caused by drag of roughness element and terrain-induced motions at this site. Small directional shear occurs when wind speed at 10 m is strong and wind direction at 10 m is southerly which is the same direction as upslope flow near surface at this site during daytime. Correlation between vertical shear of lateral momentum and lateral momentum flux is smaller over steeply sloped surface compared to mildly sloped surface and lateral momentum flux is not down-gradient over steeply sloped surface. Quadrant analysis shows that the relative contribution of four quadrants to momentum flux depends on both surface slope and wind direction shear.

종합적인 물 관리의 필요성이 대두되면서 증발산량의 연구가 최근 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그 중 국제식량농업기구(FAO, Food and Agriculture Organization)는 여러 기후에서 비교적 정확하고 일정한 경향을 갖는 Penman-Monteith(FAO-PM) 공식을 제시하였다. 이 공식은 다양한 환경을 무시하고 기준작물인 알팔파를 기준으로하여 기준증발산량을 산정하는 식으로써 각 환경에 맞는 작물계수를 곱하여 실제 증발산을 산정한다. FAO-56 Irrigation and Drainage에서는 작물계수를 단일작물계수(Single crop coefficent)와 이중작물계수(Dual crop coefficent)를 제시하고 있다. 단일작물계수는 토양의 증발과 식생의 증산을 하나의 계수로 고려하여 나타냈으며, 이중작물계수는 기저토양의 습윤을 통한 증산뿐 아니라 다양한 영향들을 고려하여 작물계수를 나타냈다. 그 외에도 원격탐사를 통한 식생지수를 통한 작물계수를 통하여 계수를 산출하기도 한다. 현재 국토교통부 및 한국수자원조사기술원에서는 에디공분산(Eddy covariance) 방법을 통해 실제증발산량을 관측하고 있으며, 품질관리 과정에서 Kalman filter를 이용하고 시스템 모델로써 FAO-PM 방법 등을 이용하고 있다. 따라서 FAO-PM 방법의 정확성을 증대시키기 위해선 작물계수에 관한 정확성을 연구가 진행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 여러 방법을 통해 산출한 작물계수를 이용한 FAO-PM 방법을 통한 실제증발산과 에너지 보존 방정식에 근거한 에디공분산 방법 통해 관측된 실제증발산량과 비교를 하였다. 평가 결과는 보다 정확하고 물리적인 증발산량 산정하는데 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

국내 수자원 관리의 중요성이 대두되면서 선진화된 하천의 수위, 유량 및 유사량 자료들을 취득할 수 있게 되었으나 제약이 많은 수문 인자로서 인식된 토양수분량과 증발산량에 관한 연구는 비교적 더디게 진행되고 있는 실정이었다. 하지만 최근 토양수분 증발산량 같은 인자들은 대기와 지표 사이의 상호작용에 직접적으로 관여하여 가장 중요한 수문기상학적 인자로 인식되어오면서 많은 프로젝트와 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 2002년 이전 토양수분 증발산량은 학술연구 목적으로 측정하였으며, 그 후 2005년도까지 기관별로 특정 목적을 위해 제한적 측정을 수행하였다. 또한, 한국수자원조사기술원에서도 2007년 하천법에 따라 국가 물 관리에 활용되는 기초 수문 자료생산의 목적으로 증발산량 관측소 2개소, 토양수분량 관측소 2개소를 우선적으로 설치 및 운영을 하고 있었으며, 2015년 이후로 홍수통제소에서도 증발산량관측소를 지속적으로 추가 설치하여 관측망을 구축 운영하고 있다. 이러한 관측소들에서 정기적으로 산출된 데이터들을 축적 및 분석하는 연구들은 장기적인 수문학적 연구로서 중요한 가치이다. 본 연구에서는 2018년 청미천과 설마천 유역에 설치된 증발산량 관측소(Eddy covariance method)와 토양수분량관측소(Time Domain Reflectometer method)에서 관측된 데이터의 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과는 유역의 물 순환을 규명하는데 가장 중요한 연구로써 활용될 것으로 기대 된다.

The standardization of eddy-covariance data processing is essential for the analysis and synthesis of vast amount of data being accumulated through continuous observations in various flux measurement networks. End users eventually benefit from the open and transparent standardization protocol by clear understanding of final products such as evapotranspiration and gross primary productivity. In this paper, we briefly introduced KoFlux efforts to standardize data processing methodologies and then estimated uncertainties of surface fluxes due to different processing methods. Based on our scrutiny of the data observed at Gwangneung KoFlux site, net ecosystem exchange and ecosystem respiration were sensitive to the selection of different processing methods. Gross primary production, however, was consistent within errors due to cancellation of the differences in NEE and Re, emphasizing that independent observation of ecosystem respiration is required for accurate estimates of carbon exchange. Nocturnal soil evaporation was small and thus the annually integrated evapotranspiration was not sensitive to the selection of different data processing methods. The implementation of such standardized data processing protocol to AsiaFlux will enable the establishment of consistent database for validation of models of carbon cycle, dynamic vegetation, and land-atmosphere interaction at regional scale.

This study was conducted to measure and understand the exchange of CO₂ and water in a rice canopy. Eddy covariance system was installed on a 10m tower along with other meteorological instruments. CO₂ flux and surface energy balance were measured throughout the whole growing season in 2003 over a typical paddy field in Icheon, Korea. During the early growth stage in May and June, most of net radiation was partitioned to latent heat flux with daytime Bowen ratio of 0.3 to 0.7. Evapotranspiration (i.e., daily integrated latent heat flux) typically ranged from 3 to 4 mm d/sup -1/, with even higher rates on sunny days. Daily integrated net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO₂ increased with increasing solar radiation and leaf area index (LAI). The NEE was especially high during the stages of young panicle formation and heading. On 1 June 2003, when the rice field was flooded, it was a weak sink of atmospheric CO₂ with an uptake rate of 9.1 gm/sup -2/d/sup -1/. Despite frequent rainy and cloudy conditions in summer, maximum NEE of 36.2 gm/sup -2/d/sup -1/ occurred on 31 July prior to heading stage. As rice crop senesced after early September, the NEE decreased.
