RMFRES RWU 4452 has made several ozone (O{sub 3}) and carbon dioxide (CO{sub 2}) trace gas flux measurements in the Snowy Range, WY GLEES research area over the past few years. These measurements were made using the micrometeorological eddy correlation technique at two sites: one 6 m above tree canopy height on the Brooklyn tower (ozone only); and the other below canopy height, 1--2 m above a wet alpine meadow surface near the Brooklyn tower. Diel CO{sub 2} vertical flux cycles change dramatically from expected daytime uptake (downward) and nighttime emissions (upward) during the growing season to predominantly upward during winter above the snow surface. Diel O{sub 3} vertical flux cycles above the tree canopy vary from normal deposition during the summer growing season to upward in the presence of snow cover. Diel O{sub 3} vertical flux cycles above the wet meadow are downward (deposition) as expected year round, however wintertime deposition measured above 1--2 m snow depths are significantly smaller than fluxes measured above snow cover reported in the literature.
