Boyagin FLUXNET 2026_r1: Eddy Covariance Flux Tower Data from Western Australia

The Boyagin Wandoo Woodland flux station was established in September 2017 and is located at an elevation of 484m near Perth, Western Australia. This release contains flux tower measurements of energy and mass exchange between the surface and atmosphere, processed using PyFluxPro (v3.4.21) and ONEFlux software to produce gap-filled Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE), Gross Primary Productivity (GPP), and Ecosystem Respiration (ER). The data were produced as part of the FLUXNET Shuttle project and are managed by the University of Western Australia.

Use Cases

• Modeling Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) based on gap-filled carbon flux data
• Partitioning carbon flux into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER)
• Analyzing ecosystem responses to climatic variables like temperature and precipitation mentioned in the description
• Studying energy balance using measurements of heat, water vapor, net radiation, and soil heat fluxes
• Investigating land-atmosphere interactions in a wandoo woodland surrounded by farmland

Strengths

• Data processed with standardized FLUXNET methodologies (PyFluxPro v3.4.21 and ONEFlux)
• Includes gap-filled final products for key carbon cycle variables (NEE, GPP, ER)
• Site metadata is specific, including location (12km west of Pingelly), elevation (484m), and instrument mast height (4m)
• Climatology is provided, with mean annual precipitation of 446mm and temperature ranges from 5.5°C to 31.9°C

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single site in Western Australia
