Jeffreys Ledge Moored Observatory Evaluation of direct covariance air-sea CO2 flux measurements in the coastal ocean Marc Emond, Doug Vandemark, James Irish, Amanda Plagge, Shawn Shellito Institute for the Study of Earth Oceans and Space, University of New Hampshire Introduction Field observations of ocean-atmosphere CO2 fluxes using the direct covariance method have a history of limited success that to date has mostly depended on the varied quality of open-path infrared gas analyzer measurements. This quality is in turn related to the low signal-to-noise environment for CO2 variability within the moist marine atmospheric boundary layer as well as the typical shipboard motion and flow distortion issues. Several recent advances in post-processing of these CO2 observations suggest that the reliability and capability for such gas flux subsystems may be poised for expanded application. This study involves two field deployments of eddy correlation packages in the coastal ocean with the objectives to assess viability for collecting long-term direct covariance air-sea flux measurements in the Gulf of Maine region. This shelf sea location provides conditions of variable and large air-sea gas disequilibria as well as a large dynamic range in wind and wave conditions. Systems are being operated on both a discus buoy and island tower site for multi-month periods in 2011-2012. Issues of motion correction, accurate high rate CO2 measurements, and derived fluxes are under study. Gulf of Maine NE U.S. Methods Our direct covariance estimates of momentum, heat, and mass flux use 3-D sonic anemometer and open path infrared gas analyzer measurements (Licor Li7500) following approaches applied in Direct Covariance Flux System (DCFS) processing as developed by J. Edson at the U. of Connecticut.   - Three axis anemometer discus buoy data are motion-corrected using DCFS subsystem motion and acceleration package data at 20 Hz - Licor LI-7500 open path CO2 molar density corrections applied at 20 Hz for water vapor interference using a three-step process. First, internal LI-7500 corrections for pressure broadening correction, then a dilution correction (Webb et al., 1980), and finally a recently-developed correction (Prytherch et al., 2010; Edson et al., 2011) is applied to attenuate remaining cross-contamination between water vapor and CO2. The third correction is performed in the frequency domain and entails correcting the fast-rate perturbation CO2 mixing ratio (r’cm ) by the cross correlation factor (μ) involving vertical velocity and water vapor mixing ratio terms (w’ and r’v) to obtain a refined CO2 mass flux over the averaging period (overbar): An example of the cospectral correction for the Appledore Island flux tower is shown below at left.
