EddyPro®It is a powerful vorticity covariance data processing software used to calculate CO2、 H2O、CH4Other trace gases and energy fluxes. EddyPro®Field version with SmartFlux®The system is installed on the field vorticity monitoring station and can provide real-time processed flux data. EddyPro®The local version can be installed on your personal computer and various processing methods can be selected to perform in-depth analysis on the raw data obtained by the instrument.
In Express mode, common data settings can be quickly and easily processed, while Advanced mode has multiple options for expert researchers to flexibly choose from.
selectEddyPro®The reason
