Integrated Carbon Observation System
Annotation in Czech
The ICOS Research Infrastructure aims to initiate across Europe and adjacent regions a network for standardized long-term high precision monitoring of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations (CO2, CH4, CO and radiocarbon-CO2 to quantify the fossil fuelcomponent) and ecosystem fluxes (CO2, H2O, heat) together with their ecosystem component fluxes. These measurements will allow daily assessments of sources and sinks at scales down to about 10 km, and will be a basis for understanding the exchange processes between the atmosphere, the terrestrial surface and the ocean.The proposed infrastructure is unique, because it integrates a designed network terrestrial and atmospheric observations as a single, coherent database for Europe which allows a top-downassessment of fluxes from atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases as well as a bottom-up assessment based on ecosystem measurements and fossil fuel inventories.
