Terrestrial Environment Research Center (TERC) started its long-term measurement of the surface heat and water balance at its surface heat and water balance field in 1981, and it is continuing the observation. The field is circle in shape and has a 30-meter tower at its center. On the tower, profiles of air temperature, humidity and turbulence fluxes are measured and while, on the ground of the field, various measurements relevant to the surface heat and water budget are also being made. Among the measurements, basic meteorological and hydrological parameters are provided for CEOP2.The turbulent fluxes of sensible heat, latent heat, CO2 were measured using the eddy covariance system.
