A Postdoctoral Scientist has been recruited and hired. Dr. Eva Falge, University of Bayreuth, Germany, is expected to join the project in July. Ms. Susan Holladay has joined the team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and will assist Drs. Brenkert and Olson on the database. We observed that the Europeans have finished two years of measurements and are compiling high quality flux and meteorological data from their sites.
Efforts are underway by that community to initiate a network-wide modeling activity.
Mr. Robert Evans, USFS, Durham, New Hampshire, plans to travel to Sweden this May to initiate a cross-comparisons of fluxes and meteorological measurements. He will also resume comparisons at the AmeriFlux sites. Based on Flux Towers is being written by S. Running, S.T. Gower, W. Cohen, D. Baldocchi. Canadell, J., H. Mooney, D. Baldocchi, J. Berry, J.
