Because of complications associated with ship motion and airflow distortion, eddy covariance (EC) from ships has not seen widespread application. In 2011, high frequency (10 Hz) measurements of three-dimensional wind velocity, temperature, CO2 and humidity and slow response sensors recording air tem...
