Footprint
Where does the air come from that is measured at 2.2 m height at the tower? Footprint area for July 2014 in Abisko-Stordalen. Each contour line adds 10% contribution starting at the tower (red dot); the background map is an illustration of the vegetation height; footprint model FFP (Kljun et al. 2015).

Climate diagram
Climate diagram Abisko. The diagram displays monthly averages for temperature and precipitation. Darker colors refer to the 1961-1990 normal and brighter colors to the data period 1981-2010. When the precipitation curve undercuts the temperature curve, this indicates dry season. When the precipitation curve exceeds the temperature curve, this indicates moist season.
