| Research Abstract |
A laser-based instrument using a technique of cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS) was developed to measure atmospheric methane accurately and precisely. The limit-of-detection of the developed instrument achieved 1 ppb for 1 second signal averaging, which is enough high to detect atmospheric methane on a real-time basis. The instrument was utilized in a Japanese cypress forest in Shiga prefecture, Japan, to investigate the spatio-temporal behavior of methane above and within the forest canopy. An automated chamber measurement system was coupled to the laser-based instrument developed in this study, thereby methane exchange fluxes between the foliage, trunk, and forest soils and the atmosphere were calculated. The chamber fluxes were obtained with 15-min time resolution.
