Today Kathi (proudly presenting the safety equipment) and Philipp (up on the tower) mounted the sonic anemometer -IRGA (CPEC) combination on the main tower, while Felix and Albin installed the COS QCL in the instrument hut.

Preparations for the factorial heat x drought experiment in the climate chambers of the TerraXCube in Bozen/Bolzano within the frame of a project funded by the province of South Tyrol are on the way.
Project partners from Laimburg have already prepared experimental plants and the first batch of these is already going into budburst as the picure by Amy Kadison shows. Looking forward to the experiment in July/August!
Yesterday Albin and Felix set up the gas cage adjacent to the instrument hut at the forest-atmosphere-interactions-research (FAIR) site in Mieming, which will provide a safe shelter for the gas cylinders required for the various trace gas analyzers that will be installed during the upcoming weeks.
Our recent Nature Energy paper “The albedo-climate penalty of hydropower reservoirs” has been featured as a highlight in Nature.
Had a fantastic day out at the FAIR tower site mounting active and passive chlorophyll fluorescence measurement devices together with Michaela, Albin and Klemens, who filmed our activities for the upcoming MSc study Ecology & Biodiversity movie.
