Training Courses

Eddy Covariance training courses are offered throughout the year at various locations around the world. The main purposes of training are:

To understand eddy covariance theory, experimental design and application
To become skilled at setting up and operating eddy covariance systems
To be able to process raw flux data with EddyPro and understand online flux data processing and output

Training courses are designed to be hands-on. Some of the topics covered during the courses include:

Setting up a flux tower and installing instruments using commonly accepted best practices
Live instrument configuration and calibration
Hands-on data processing with provided sample data sets

Additional Information

Attendees are responsible for their own travel, lodging, and other meal expenses. LI-COR has negotiated a special rate with a hotel and will make reservations for attendees. Attendees are responsible for providing their own payment information at check-in.

Training Schedule

LI-COR continues to review the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak and the potential concerns associated with hosting group events. As always, our foremost concern is the welfare of both our employees and our customers. We are monitoring recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and other health advisory agencies.

As a result, LI-COR training sessions are subject to change and/or cancellation. Any involved parties will be notified in a timely fashion.

Webinars

Webinars cover a variety of topics related to ecosystem-level gas exchange, including details on the eddy covariance method, EddyPro™ data analysis software, eddy covariance system configurations, and more.
