BOREAS TGB-10: Oxidant Flux Measurements in a Boreal Forest, Summer 1994

BOREAS TGB-10 researchers collected peroxide and ozone data to study biogenic hydrocarbon emissions in boreal forest carbon cycles. This oxidant data set contains measured concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), total organic peroxides (ROOH), and ozone, along with deposition velocities for H2O2 and ROOH. The data were gathered by NASA at the SSA Old Jack Pine site during the summer of 1994.

Use Cases

• Modeling forest-atmosphere oxidant exchange based on measured peroxide and ozone concentrations.
• Analyzing seasonal trends in biogenic hydrocarbon emissions based on summer 1994 data from a boreal site.
• Studying deposition processes for hydrogen peroxide and organic peroxides based on the provided deposition velocities.

Strengths

• Data originates from the NASA-led BOREAS project, a major ecological study.
• Focuses on a specific, ecologically significant location (SSA Old Jack Pine site) and time period (summer 1994).
• Includes derived metrics like deposition velocities alongside raw concentration measurements.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single summer in 1994, limiting temporal generalizability.
