CARbon Atmosphere Flux Experiment (CARAFE)

Overview

The CARbon Atmospheric Flux Experiment (CARAFE) campaign measured the exchange of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane between the Earth and the atmosphere in the Mid-Atlantic region. Measurements acquired from this campaign were designed to observe and quantify fluxes of carbon dioxide, methane, sensible heat, and latent heat at high spatial resolution over a range of mid-Atlantic ecosystems. The campaign was funded through a combination of NASA Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) and Headquarters reserve funding.
