Continuous data of soils CO₂ efflux can improve model predictions of climate warming and automated data is becoming increasingly available. However, aggregating chamber-based data to plot scale poses challenges. Therefore, we showed using one year of half-hourly data how using the lognormal assumption tackles several challenges. We propose that plot-scale SO₂ efflux observations should be reported together with lognormally based uncertainties and enter model constraining frameworks at log-scale.

A novel airborne sensing platform was developed for meteorological and land surface temperature measurements. The system is called the Tethered And Navigated Air Blimp (TANAB). This system was deployed at a complex mining facility in northern Canada to measure dynamics of the atmosphere in various diurnal times, latitudes, longitudes, and altitudes. It measured convective, neutral, and stable boundary layers up to 150 m. It also measured land surface temperatures at a resolution of 1 km by 1 km.
