Adelaide River Flux Data: Energy and Mass Exchange from a Tower Site

Flux tower measurements of energy and mass exchange between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer using eddy covariance techniques. Data were processed using PyFluxPro (v3.5.0) to produce a final, gap-filled product with Net Ecosystem Exchange partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity and Ecosystem Respiration. The site is dominated by Eucalyptus tectifica and Planchonia careya, with a 15 m instrument mast.

Use Cases

• Modeling Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) based on gap-filled eddy covariance data
• Partitioning carbon flux into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER)
• Analyzing seasonal temperature variations based on maximum and minimum temperature ranges
• Studying energy balance based on measurements of heat, water vapor, carbon dioxide, and radiation

Strengths

• Data processed to a final, gap-filled product using a documented method (PyFluxPro v3.5.0)
• Site characteristics are detailed, including elevation (close to 90 m), mean annual precipitation (1730 mm), and canopy height (15 m mast)
• Includes partitioned carbon flux components (GPP and ER) derived from NEE

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
