17 Conclusions G2311-f and FGGA functioned most reliably during the campaign fluxes from the tested instruments were similar Detection limit and instrumental noise were the highest for QCL, FMA and LI-77 Cumulative sums of fluxes were practically the same G2311-f, FGGA and G131-f can measure also H 2 O (also FMA after upgrading) =>cross-interference to is straightforward to correct
