OzFlux

OzFlux is a network of micrometeorological flux stations located at
various sites within Australia and New Zealand. It is part of a
global network of over 150 sites where exchanges of carbon dioxide,
water vapor, and energy between terrestrial ecosystem and atmosphere
are measured continuously over long periods.

The intention of OzFlux is to understand mechanisms controlling
exchanges of carbon, water vapor and energy between terrestrial
ecosystems and the atmosphere over a range of time and space scales.
They hope to provide data on carbon, water and nutrient balances of
key ecosystems for model testing, as well as provide information to
validate estimates of net primary productivity, evaporation, and
energy absorption using remotely sensed radiance data. OzFlux strives
to provide data to validate new developments in micrometeorological
theory for fluxes and air flows in complex terrain, and provide high
precision CO2 concentrations measurements for use in regional,
continental and global atmospheric inverse studies of the carbon
cycle.

OzFlux is one of eight elements in the FLUXNET network, which is
dedicated to integrating worldwide CO2 flux measurements.

Monitoring Sites are:
- Cape Grim
- Daintree
- Howard Springs
- Janina
- Maroondah
- Moanatuatua
- Burdekin Delta
- Tumbarumba
- Virginia Park
