Using data on daytime CO flux above the canopy determined by eddy correlation, a simple empirical model was devised based on relationships between CO flux and radiation, and CO flux and atmospheric vapour pressure deficit. The model satisfactorily predicted above-canopy flux from measurements of these variables using site-specific regression constants. The limitations and practical implications of the model are discussed.
