Nordic Centre for Studies of Ecosystem Carbon Exchange and its Interactions with the Climate System
Description: The Nordic Centre for Studies of Ecosystem Carbon Exchange and its Interactions with the Climate System (NECC) is a virtual Centre consisting of 14 research groups from institutes in Denmark, Iceland, Sweden and Finland. With the creation of this centre the existing Nordic measurements of carbon dioxide and methane exchange from different ecosystems are linked in one Nordic flux-network. Currently 47 sites are within the Centre, including 26 eddy-flux sites with measurements in forests, agricultural land, wetlands and above lakes. The aim of the Centre is to obtain a better understanding of the factors regulating the carbon balance of typical sub-arctic and boreal ecosystems and to improve the co-operation in both research and education in the field of carbon exchange. The NECC is funded by the Nordic Centre of Excellence (NCoE) Pilot Programme from 2003 to 2007. The NCoE was initiated by the Joined Committee of the Nordic Natural Science Research Councils (NOS-N), the Nordic Council of Ministers and the NorFA.

Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory (CMDL)
Description: The Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory (CMDL) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, conducts sustained observations and research related to source and sink strengths, trends and global distributions of atmospheric constituents that are capable of forcing change in the climate of Earth through modification of the atmospheric radiative environment, those that may cause depletion of the global ozone layer, and those that affect baseline air quality. CMDL accomplishes this mission primarily through long-term measurements of key atmospheric species at sites spanning the globe, including four fully-equipped Baseline Observatories. These key species include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, nitrous oxide, surface and stratospheric ozone, halogenated compounds including CFC replacements, hydrocarbons, sulfur gases, aerosols, and solar and infrared radiation.
