Howard Springs Flux Data Release 2022_v2

ARCHIVED

Created 20/10/2024

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 PyFluxPro (v3.4.7) as described by Isaac et al. (2017). PyFluxPro produces a final, gap-filled product with Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER). The site is classified as an open woodland savanna. The overstory is co-dominated by tree species Eucalyptus miniata and Eucalyptus tentrodonata, and average tree height is 14-16 m. Elevation of the site is close to 64 m and mean annual precipitation is 1750 mm. Maximum temperatures range from 30.4 °C (in July) to 33.2 °C (in November), while minimum temperatures range from 19.3 °C (in July) to 25.4 °C (in November). Therefore, the maximum and minimum range varies from 7 °C (wet season) to 11 °C (dry season). The instrument mast is 23 m tall. Heat, water vapour and carbon dioxide measurements are taken using the open-path eddy flux technique. Temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, incoming and reflected shortwave radiation and net radiation are measured above the canopy. Soil heat fluxes are measured and soil moisture content is gathered using time domain reflectometry.
