## Description

The open-path methane analyser, together with its mounting and integration as part of the eddy covariance \(EC\) flux station, is required to measure high frequency methane fluxes, alongside simultaneous measurements of water vapour and carbon dioxide gas concentrations\. The equipment required is a research grade, state of the art methane analyser capable of operating at 20 Hz and delivering the high precision & high frequency measurements necessary for eddy covariance applications\. At present there are no similar sensors on the market that can match the precision, stability and frequency performance required for this type of work\.
