The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 4-year, $490,570 Project Grant under its Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) to develop an autonomous eddy covariance air-sea CO2 flux measurement system for use on moored ocean buoys. This system is designed to provide accurate, low-power measurements of atmospheric and oceanic carbon dioxide exchange, which is critical for improving the predictive capabilities of climate models.

As part of this project, UNH is collaborating with Campbell Scientific Inc. (CSI) to refine and field-test an advanced infrared gas analyzer that can effectively mitigate motion interference. CSI will contribute specialized expertise in sensor ruggedization, temperature stabilization, and measurement algorithms to enhance the performance and reliability of the eddy covariance instrumentation. This co-developed system will be designed for integration onto existing and future autonomous ocean observing platforms to expand direct CO2 flux measurements supporting carbon cycle and air-sea interaction research.
