Welcome to the Berkeley Biometeorology Lab Web site.

The general theme of research in the Biometeorology lab is on:

"trace gas and energy exchange between vegetation and the atmosphere."

Our research approach involves the coordinated use of experimental measurements and theoretical models to understand the physical, biological, and chemical processes that control trace gas fluxes between the biosphere and atmosphere and to quantify their temporal and spatial variations. The spatial scales of this work ranges from the dimension of a leaf through the depth of plant canopies and the planetary boundary layer and the horizontal extent of landscapes. The temporal aspect of this work ranges from seconds through hours, days, seasons and years.

Measuring and modeling carbon, water and energy exchange of an oak-grass savanna is the focus of our current research activities, as well is upscaling this information globally through our coordination and association with the FLUXNET project
