Scott Farm FLUXNET Release 2026_r1

This release consists of flux tower measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer using eddy covariance techniques. Data were processed using standard micrometeorological methods for the quality control and post-processing steps. The final, gap-filled product containing Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER) has been produced using the ONEFlux software as described in Pastorello et al. (2020). This data set has been produced as part of the FLUXNET Shuttle project.</br> The Scott Farm flux station is located on Scott Farm, a research farm run by Dairy NZ. Scott Farm is situated 7km northeast of Hamilton in the Waikato region on the North Island of New Zealand (GPS coordinates: -37.46, 175.22).<br/> Mean annual temperature and rainfall at a nearby climate station are 13.8°C and 1126mm, respectively. Predominant soil type of the study site is the Matangi silt loam (Typic Orthic Gley Soil). Pastures in all paddocks within the flux footprint are predominantly comprised of perennial ryegrass (<em>Lolium perene</em>) and white clover (<em>Trifolium repens</em>).<br/> Scott Farm is a dairy farm, with paddocks grazed intensively year-round.
