Integrating Worldwide CO2 Flux Measurements
Description: FLUXNET,
a "network of regional networks," coordinates
regional and global analysis of observations from micrometeorological
tower sites. The flux tower sites use eddy covariance methods to measure
the exchanges of carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor, and energy
between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere.
At
present, over 250 tower sites are operating on a long-term and
continuous basis. Researchers
also collect data on site vegetation, soil, hydrologic, and
meteorological characteristics at the tower sites. To search for flux
or site characteristics data, choose
"Obtain Data" from the menu above.

Global Warming Facts & Our Future
Description: Climate Warming Is a Global Problem
But the impacts and potential solutions will affect us locally
and in many different ways. The challenge for each of us and for
our policy makers is to pursue effective responses that are as
fair as possible to all people and nations.
In this exhibition the National Academies provide scientific information
to help us make informed decisions and to help answer some important
questions.
