Desert Uplands 2 Eddy Covariance and Meteorological Data Collection

<p>This collection comprises the releases of metadata records for the ALTAR Desert Uplands 2 flux tower. Each release contains measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer using eddy covariance techniques, with additional meteorological measures. Data are processed using PyFluxPro as described by <a href="https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-14-2903-2017">Isaac et al. (2017)</a>. PyFluxPro produces a final, gap-filled product with Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER). The version of PyFluxPro used in the processing can be found within the metadata of the relevant NetCDF product.</p> <p>The ALTAR Desert Uplands 2 site is a woodland characterised by regrowth of Silver-leaved Ironbark (<em>Eucalyptus melanophloia</em>), Dallachy's Ghost Gum (<em>Corymbia dallachiana</em>), Lancewood (<em>Acacia sericophylla</em>), Ironwood (<em>Acacia excelsa</em>) and Kurrajong (<em>Brachychiton populneus</em>) with a ground layer dominated by Soft Spinifex (<em>Tripodia pungens</em>).</p> <p>Access to this dataset is available on request subject to agreement. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are currently being reformatted for integration into the OneTERN framework and are available upon request during this transition period.</p>
