Cow Bay Flux Data Collection

This dataset consists of measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer in lowland tropical rainforest at the Daintree Discovery Centre near Cow Bay in Far North Queensland, using eddy covariance techniques.
The Cow Bay flux station was established in December 2008 and managed by James Cook University. The forest is classified as complex mesophyll vine forest, there are 94 species in the core 1Ha, and average tree height is 22m. Elevation of the site is 90m and mean annual precipitation is 3935mm. The Daintree Rainforest is one of the most biodiverse forests in Australia.The instruments are mounted on a walk-up tourist tower at 35m. Fluxes of heat, water vapour and carbon dioxide are measured using the open-path eddy flux technique. Supplementary measurements above the canopy include temperature, humidity, windspeed, wind direction, rainfall, incoming and reflected shortwave radiation and net radiation.The early years 2009 - 12 had several data gaps. Shadowing of the radiometric equipment continues to cause artifacts on the radiometers - these can be seen as reduction in downwelling radiation with solar inclination. The site is part of the FNQ Rainforest SuperSite - associated with the Daintree node, which is part of the TERN Australian SuperSite Network (ASN).

本数据集包含采用涡动协方差技术（eddy covariance techniques）在昆士兰州远北地区考湾附近的丹特里探索中心（Daintree Discovery Centre）低地热带雨林中进行的地表与大气边界层之间能量和质量交换的测量数据。
考湾通量站（Cow Bay flux station）于2008年12月建立，由詹姆斯·库克大学（James Cook University）管理。该森林被归类为复杂叶肉藤本森林（complex mesophyll vine forest），核心1公顷区域内有94个物种，平均树高22米。站点海拔为90米，年平均降水量为3935毫米。丹特里雨林（Daintree Rainforest）是澳大利亚生物多样性最丰富的森林之一。仪器安装在35米高的可步行观光塔上。采用开路涡动通量技术（open-path eddy flux technique）测量热量、水汽和二氧化碳的通量。冠层上方的补充测量包括温度、湿度、风速、风向、降雨量、入射和反射短波辐射以及净辐射。2009-2012年早期存在若干数据缺口。辐射测量设备的阴影持续在辐射计上产生伪影（artifacts）——这表现为随太阳倾角（solar inclination）变化的下行辐射（downwelling radiation）减少。该站点是FNQ雨林超级站（FNQ Rainforest SuperSite）的一部分，与丹特里节点相关联，而丹特里节点属于TERN澳大利亚超级站网络（TERN Australian SuperSite Network，ASN）。
