The AP200 is a complete, integrated CO2 and H2O atmospheric profile system. It measures carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) concentration from up to eight intakes, which are normally spaced along the height of a tower to give a vertical profile. The AP200 is often used in conjunction with an eddy-covariance system to measure the storage term and give a more complete measure of the surface gas exchange.

Possibly. For example, to measure advection because of a drainage flow on sloping terrain, an AP200 system could be deployed with two towers, upstream and downstream along the slope, with four intakes on each tower.
The intake tubes can be quite long—up to a few hundred meters. Contact Campbell Scientific to ask about specific requirements for an application.
The automatic zero/span function of the AP200 is designed to do both a zero and a CO2 span. However, it is possible to disable the CO2 span and do only a zero. To do this, set public variable CO2_SPAN_PPM =0.
The LI-840A uses a heater to maintain its sample cell at +50°C. Therefore, it consumes a lot more power at lower temperatures. Below 0°C, the valve heater also requires some power to keep the valves warm.
A dewpoint generator is used as an H2O standard. Dewpoint generators are laboratory instruments and are not suitable for long-term deployment in the field.
The spacing depends on the canopy and atmospheric conditions. It is important to know where the concentration gradients are the steepest.
For example, in a low agricultural crop canopy, it may be appropriate to use a logarithmic distribution within and near the top of the canopy, and a linear distribution above the canopy: 0.2 m, 0.4 m, 0.8 m, 1.6 m, 3.2 m (logarithmic) and 5 m, 7 m, 9 m (linear).
