Boreal Forest Carbonyl Sulfide and CO2 Fluxes with Meteorological Data, 2013-2017

Eddy covariance flux data for carbonyl sulfide (COS) and carbon dioxide (CO2) measured at the Hyytiälä forest station in Southern Finland. The dataset includes in-situ meteorological measurements and SiB4 model simulations for the period from January 2013 to December 2017, as published by Vesala et al. (2022). Raw data are available upon request from the author Kukka‐Maaria Kohonen of the University of Helsinki.

Use Cases

• Analyze seasonality and interannual variability of carbonyl sulfide fluxes based on the multi-year eddy covariance record.
• Validate or calibrate the SiB4 land surface model based on the provided simulated COS flux and meteorological drivers.
• Study the co-variation of COS and CO2 fluxes in a boreal forest environment.
• Investigate the relationship between trace gas fluxes and local meteorological conditions using the in-situ measurements.

Strengths

• Five-year continuous time series from 2013 to 2017.
• Combines observational eddy covariance data with SiB4 model simulation outputs.
• Includes both trace gas fluxes (COS, CO2) and supporting meteorological variables.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Raw data access requires a direct request to the author, which may delay use.
