Short summary
There is a crucial need for adequate data of concentration and wind to close the potential gap in mass balance of CO2. Ground-based line-integrating remote sensing techniques are an ideal tool as they provide the spatially representative CO2 concentration together with wind components within the same voxel structure. An integrated method combination of acoustic and optical systems was applied to measure spatially representative CO2 advection at the grassland Grillenburg site.
