Methane and carbon dioxide fluxes over a lake: comparison between eddy covariance, floating chambers and boundary layer method

Freshwaters bring a notable contribution to the global carbon budget by emitting both carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) and methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) to the atmosphere. Global estimates of freshwater emissions traditionally use a wind-speed-based gas transfer velocity, <i>...

Methane and carbon dioxide fluxes over a lake: comparison between eddy covariance, floating chambers and boundary layer method
description Freshwaters bring a notable contribution to the global carbon budget by emitting both carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) and methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) to the atmosphere. Global estimates of freshwater emissions traditionally use a wind-speed-based gas transfer velocity, <i>k</i><sub>CC</sub> (introduced by Cole and Caraco, 1998), for calculating diffusive flux with the boundary layer method (BLM). We compared CH<sub>4</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes from BLM with <i>k</i><sub>CC</sub> and two other gas transfer velocities (<i>k</i><sub>TE</sub> and <i>k</i><sub>HE</sub>), which include the effects of water-side cooling to the gas transfer besides shear-induced turbulence, with simultaneous eddy covariance (EC) and floating chamber (FC) fluxes during a 16-day measurement campaign in September 2014 at Lake Kuivajärvi in Finland. The measurements included both lake stratification and water column mixing periods. Results show that BLM fluxes were mainly lower than EC, with the more recent model <i>k</i><sub>TE</sub> giving the best fit with EC fluxes, whereas FC measurements resulted in higher fluxes than simultaneous EC measurements.
