Infrared gas analyzer of EC system was calibrated approximately in every  6 months with standard CO2 gases and a dew point generator (LI610,  Li-Cor).  The CO2/H2O concentration profile system is being calibrated once a day  for the zero(CO2, H2O) and span CO2 concentration. H2O span is being  manually calibrated once a week.  Other micrometeorological instruments are being calibrated approx. once in  every 2 year.
