| The Internet of the Environment (IoE) Ecosystem – From Eddy Covariance Greenhouse Gas Flux Measurements to Cloud-Based Post-Processing and Flux Spatialization | Technological and conceptual advances are transforming traditional eddy covariance systems from complex measurement setups into streamlined, cost-effective flux sensor nodes, such as the Carbon and Water Nodes. The IoE ecosystem is expanding to integrate SmartFlux-based systems with the new SmartFlux Core firmware, along with HOBOnet biometeorological sensors. | poster |
| Cost-Effective Evapotranspiration Measurements Using Eddy Covariance and the Internet of the Environment (IoE) | Eddy covariance provides high-quality, direct measurements of water vapor, carbon dioxide, and energy exchange between the Earth’s surface and the atmosphere. The Internet of the Environment (IoE) enables scalable flux measurements for both fundamental research and applied monitoring, from field to landscape to continental scales. | poster |

Frequently Asked Questions
Each IoE Module is equipped with a built-in cellular gateway and one year of data service for the module and sensors, as well as one year of access to LI-COR Cloud. Cellular service and LI-COR Cloud access can be extended.
You can add collaborators to LI-COR Cloud, and in doing so, give them access to the data, alerts, and diagnostics.
The IoE Module works best with an SD card installed. Although you can use it without the SD card, there is risk that data will be lost due to power disruptions and the IoE Module will not keep a backlog of measurements that are not yet uploaded to LI-COR Cloud. To ensure robust data storage, it is best to use an SD card at all times. Most micro SD cards (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and ExFAT format) will work as long there is ample free space for files.
The 8 GB Micro SD card included with each IoE Module has enough space to log many years of data, even if the data are never uploaded to LI-COR Cloud. If other files are stored on the card, they will take away capacity for data storage.
Th IoE Module sends packets of data (messages) when it starts up and every thirty minutes after that. If it is recording data from the HydraProbe every ten minutes, the IoE Module will keep the data in the queue until the next cloud session. Expect there to be several messages in the queue during normal operation.
If the IoE Module has been recording data locally, but offline for a period of time, there may be many messages in the queue. Upon successful communication with LI-COR Cloud, the IoE Module will upload recent packets first and begin uploading files in the backlog. If the backlog is too large to upload in a single cloud session, the IoE Module will continue to upload the backlog with each session until it is done.
