ABSTRACT

The article presents information on understanding the global climate with measurements and data. It is generally accepted that one of the major factor in climate warming is the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. There are continued efforts to control and reduce the amount of greenhouse gases. The researchers at the Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS) are utilizing the NI CompactRIO hardware platform for studying dynamics of carbon exchange in various ecosystems.
