Tanguro-Flux Data

Tanguro (Brasil) <strong>Location</strong> Tropical control forest and farmland (soy beans) Latitude -13.08 , Longitude -52.39 <strong>Overview</strong> Periods: June 2016 and January 2017 Eddy covariance Meteorology Derived turbulent fluxes from thermodynamics (Kleidon A., Thermodynamic Foundations of the Earth System, 2016, Cambridge Univ. Press) <strong>Description</strong> Data from two new Eddy flux stations in Ribeirão Tanguro, Matto Grosso, Brazil. One in an unmanaged forest (control site) and another one on a farmland (soy beans). They are equipped with the usual sensors for meteorology and Eddy covariance measurements and are powered by solar stations. The towers belong to a joint project with the Brazilian Institute for Amazon Research (IPAM) to manipulate the carbon use efficiency of tropical forest.
