  1. Surface fluxes of greenhouse gases and the surface energy budget are critical facets of climate science • Observations are required to establish current fluxes • Process studies are required to parameterize fluxes for climate models EOL Integrated Surface Flux System has measured greenhouse gas fluxes and the surface energy budget since 1991, e.g. • SJVAQS/CODE measurements of H2O, CO2, and O3 fluxes • Collaborating with MMM and ACD since 2009 at BEACHON Manitou Forest site Continuous measurements of CO2 and H2O flux profiles on a 43 m tower Currently developing CentNet to expand ISFS capabilities • Extend ISFS to ~100 (spatially extensive or intensive) measurement locations • Extend in-house flux-measurement capabilities to which greenhouse gases? Limited by cost and power requirements of fast-response sensors Retain current capability to ingest data from user-provided sensors
