This is the FLUXNET version of the carbon flux data for the site CA-TPA Ontario Turkey Point Observatory Agricultural Site produced by applying the standard ONEFlux (1F) software. Site Description - This agricultural flux tower site is located about 15 km southwest of Simcoe in southern Ontario, Canada.
