(a) Topographic map of the Semi-Arid Climate and Environment Observatory of Lanzhou University (SACOL), (b) vegetation of the flux observation field in summer, and (c) area surrounding the observation field obtained from Google Earth. The area surrounded by the red line is the observation field, and yellow and blue circles represent the locations of the boundary layer meteorological tower (BLM tower) and the eddy covariance (EC) system. The figure is from Liang et al. [18], and the topographic map in Figure 1(a) is drawn using ASTER GDEM v2 data [21].
