Infrastructure
Tower, Electrical power (AC), Accommodation
Research Fund
The equipments of tower were funded by Institute of Botany, CAS; The maintenance of tower was partly supported by "100 Talents" project of CAS to Dr. Guanghui Lin and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Grant (NEWS 2004 NRA: NN-H-04-Z-YS-005-N) of the Land-Cover / Land-Use Program
Calibration Information
Open-path analyzers were calibrated twice per year with standard CO2 gases and a dew point generator (LI610, LI-COR).
