Welcome to QCL N2opocules

This is a tools for assessing N2O isotopocule fluxes and quality assurance from QCL data. It's developped by the Sustainable Agroecosystem (SAE) group at ETH Zurich.

Scripts and sections:

  • QCL-main.R

    • Define isotope standards (international and lab standards)
    • Read in the raw data from the QCL (implemented for Aerodyne QCLs - .stc and .str files) ... and merge
    • Aggregate the data to user defined timesteps
    • Define time vectors/formats
    • Calculate isotope ratios and delta values
    • Offset correction
    • Dilution correction
    • Calculate fluxes by chamber
    • Calculate source signature (Keeling plots)
  • main_graphs.R:

    • Fig. 1: Dilution validation plot (checks how the dilution calibration was performed)
    • Fig. 2: Anchor-span plot (checks how the corrections perform against the reference gas)
    • Fig. 3: Keeling plot (Shows the concentration increase of a certain chamber with the corresponding keeling plot for the measured species)
    • Fig. 4.1: Chamber fluxes vs time
    • Fig. 4.2: Flux size vs. keeling plot delta values
  • MonteMatti.R:

    • Simulates concentration increase and estimates the reliability of the source signuature calculation by Keeling plots (mixing model).
    • Estimates minimal required flux for reliable delta values by Monte Carlo Simulation

Installation

its only a raw R script, that has not been turned into a function or package yet!

Datasets

The sample dataset available is from a Aerodyne QCL used in a greenhouse plant variety experiment measuring soil gas emissions by automated static chambers.
