Processed and quality controlled surface fluxes and meteorological observations at Westham Island (CA-Wes)

Eddy covariance fluxes and meteorological observations at Westham Island (CA-Wes), an eddy covariance tower operated by the University of British Columbia (UBC) Vacouver, over unmanaged grassland site in the Lower Fraser Valley on in the Delta of the Fraser (Delta, BC, Canada) between 2007 and 2009. The site was operated as a rural reference site during the EPiCC project for evaluating models and contrasting urban observations. The flux data processing is described here: https://dx.doi.org/10.14288/1.0103593 Files containing fluxes are organized in monthly comma-separated text files using the naming convention "Westham-Island-EC-XXXX-YY", where XXXX is the year and YY is the month of the year. All flux data has a 30-min time resolution and contains the following fields: Code Station Parameter Height Unit WIUST1 Westham Island (CA-Wes) Friction Velocity 1.75m m / s WITKE1 Westham Island (CA-Wes) Turbulent Kinetic Energy 1.75m m2 / s2 WIQHB1 Westham Island (CA-Wes) Sensible Heat Flux (Best available) 1.75m W / m2 WIQEB1 Westham Island (CA-Wes) Latent Heat Flux (Best available) 1.75m W / m2 WIUSP1 Westham Island (CA-Wes) Wind u-Component (Internal) No. of Spikes 1.75m Count WIVSP1 Westham Island (CA-Wes) Wind v-Component (Internal) No. of Spikes 1.75m Count WIWSP1 Westham Island (CA-Wes) Wind w-Component (Internal) No. of Spikes 1.75m Count WITSP1 Westham Island (CA-Wes) Acoustic Temperature No. of Spikes 1.75m Count WIHSP1 Westham Island (CA-Wes) Water Vapour No. of Spikes 1.75m Count WICSP1 Westham Island (CA-Wes) Carbon Dioxide Molar Density No. of Spikes 1.75m Count WINST1 Westham Island (CA-Wes) Number of Samples (including invalid samples) 1.75m No WIPQF1 Westham Island (CA-Wes) Flux Processing Quality Flag 1.75m Code Files containing meteorology and soil conditions are organized in monthly comma-separated text files using the naming convention "Westham-Island-MET-XXXX-YY", where XXXX is the year and YY is the month of the year.
