✦ Synopsis

For measurements of eddy fluxes in the atmospheric boundary layer of gases (such as C02) whose average concentration is very large compared to the fluctuations, corrections for air density fluctuations are required. With the boundary condition of no flux of dry air at the surface, the evaporation correction to eddy fluxes is 2.6 times larger than has been estimated with the boundary condition of no mass flux at all at the surface. The heat flux correction is also increased by a few per cent.

The axis labels in Figure on p. 71 were interchanged, i.e., the y-axis should be H and the x-axis should be hE. As a result, the sentence beginning on line 6, p. 72 should read: Flux corrections increase with hE at any value of H for an analyser insensitive to water vapour (Figure ), whereas they d
