Abstract
A method based on the evolution of the height of the convective boundary layer that has been successfully used for aggregation of sensible heat and momentum fluxes is here applied for aggregation of CO 2 fluxes over Zealand in Denmark. Inputs for the method are vertical profile measurements of CO 2 concentrations, standard measurements of the CO 2 concentration near the ground and successive radio-soundings. The aggregated fluxes of CO 2 represent a combination of agricultural and forest surface conditions.
