BOREAS Diurnal CO2 Canopy Profile Data from NSA and SSA Sites

CO2 profile data collected within forest canopies for carbon and oxygen isotope analysis. Measurements were made by the BOREAS TE-05 team in the Northern and Southern Study Areas during multiple Intensive Field Campaigns. The dataset provides detailed diurnal information from sites including OJP, OBS, UBS, and OA.

Use Cases

• Analyzing diurnal variations in canopy CO2 concentrations for carbon flux studies.
• Calibrating or validating terrestrial biosphere models with in-canopy profile measurements.
• Investigating carbon and oxygen isotope ratios of atmospheric CO2 within forest ecosystems.
• Studying spatial variability of CO2 by comparing data from NSA and SSA sites like OJP and OBS.

Strengths

• Data collection was systematic, covering both the NSA and SSA during each Intensive Field Campaign (IFC).
• Measurements provide detailed within-canopy information specifically timed for isotope analysis.

Limitations

• Column names, row counts, and exact file sizes are not provided by any source.
• Sources conflict on the last updated date, reporting both 1994-09-08 and 2026-03 13.
