Short summary
The paper presents long-term measurements of turbulent fluxes at the research platform FINO2 in the Baltic Sea. The platform was equipped at two heights (6.8 and 13.8m) for the observation of wind, temperature, humidity and CO2 over a time period of 1.5 years. The paper shows the measured quantities as well as the turbulent fluxes, latent and sensible heat, momentum and CO2 flux. In contrast to the constant-flux layer approach, we found differences in the CO2 fluxes between 6.8 and 13.8m.
