A day in the life of an #ICOS Ecosystem Station PI presented by @managharun.bsky.social with contributions and photos from various stations across Europe.

@icos-ri.eu #ICOS10

Happy to meet with a large portion of the #ICOS community during the ICOS 10 year anniversary week in Helsinki.

Nyfiken på samspelet mellan skog och klimat & framtidens skogar?

Då är denna utställning något för dig!

Utställning är ett samarbete mellan Naturum Skrylle i Lunds kommun samt @beccsweden.bsky.social & @mergesweden.bsky.social @lundsuniversitet.bsky.social

We reached the end of the pole, the sun lit part of the crown is out of reach for our clipper. So we needed to deploy an alternative method to retrieve branches for the @icos-ri.eu nutrient and leaf area/mass analysis.
If someone has a drone for branch sampling, we are happy to test it next year.

This week Johannes, our dendrometer & -chronology expert, and Martin, who used #dendrometer measurements from @hyltemossa.bsky.social in his BSc thesis, attended the Nordic #DendroNet meeting at @uninmbu.bsky.social organized by @daniellecreek.bsky.social
& visited the @icos-ri.eu station #Hurdal

Nice change of scenery during today's excursion to "Tavastland", currently docked in Landskrona. Thanks Madeleine for showing & explaining the ferry box setup. Measurements by #SMHI as part of @icossweden.bsky.social & data from other ships of opportunity contribute to the @icos-ri.eu Ocean Domain.

Our #ACTRIS instruments successfully passed a calibration workshop at the #CAIS-ECAC Center for Aerosol In-Situ European Center for Aerosol Calibration & Characterization in Leipzig.

Thanks to Kay, Maik, Sascha, Sebastian, Anja @tropos-de.bsky.social www.actris-ecac.eu

... endless cable meters for a side by side PAR sensor comparison. 20 sensors from the below canopy setup, 2 from the mast, 8 spare & on top 35 extra for a fPAR comparison between @icos-ri.eu & @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social GBOV within #NUBICOS

While one half of the new @lund-university.bsky.social Physical Geography MSc students were setting up an EC system in Alnarp the other half was in #Hyltemossa getting a tour of the @icos-ri.eu setup, conducting photosynthesis measurements & estimating aboveground biomass.

And here a short video of Mikhail's soil chambers in action. We are very confident they will work well since the design has been tested under harsh conditions on Greenland. So far we only operate NEE/CH4 chambers but we plan to add dark respiration chambers and trenches to exclude tree respiration.

This summer @alindroth.bsky.social worked hard to set up soil & trunk CO2/CH4 chambers around our subcanopy EC system. Mikhail Mastepanov, designer & builder of the soil chambers, helped set up Ander's latest trunk chamber design yesterday.

And here is a short video. The campaign is part of a larger project that includes above and below canopy scans at various @icos-ri.eu Ecosystem sites. The terrestrial laser scans were done by @geikedesloover.bsky.social earlier this year. Read more in our previous repost from ICOS.

Last week Linda & Johannes from @gfz.bsky.social visited to scan the forest around the @icos-ri.eu EC flux mast with a LIDAR drone. All went well, so they scanned the young stand at the @lufluxes.bsky.social EC mast too.

Summer = fieldwork time

We have been busy & finally replaced all soil moisture sensors that were destroyed by a lightning strike. The lowest levels are not installed with access tubes for quicker replacement if ⚡ strikes again.
