Editorial statement
Chamber-based flux measurements for carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and other climate-active gases show high temporal and spatial variability and there is a need for autonomous, simple and affordable systems. The author present such a device that can be constructed for a few thousands euros/dollars. The Pondi logger will facilitate greenhouse gas studies in remote places and will be excellent tools to involve citizens in our climate studies.
