Desert Uplands 2 Eddy Covariance and Meteorological Data Collection

The ALTAR Desert Uplands 2 flux tower dataset contains measurements of energy and mass exchange between the surface and atmosphere using eddy covariance techniques. Data are processed using PyFluxPro to produce a final, gap-filled product with Net Ecosystem Exchange partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity and Ecosystem Respiration. The Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network's Data Discovery platform hosts this collection, last updated on 2026-05-16.

Use Cases

• Modeling Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) based on gap-filled eddy covariance data.
• Partitioning ecosystem respiration from gross primary productivity based on the PyFluxPro-processed product.
• Analyzing meteorological conditions and their influence on surface-atmosphere exchange.
• Studying carbon dynamics in a regrowth woodland ecosystem based on the described site vegetation.

Strengths

• Data is processed into a final, gap-filled product using the established PyFluxPro software.
• The dataset includes partitioned components of Net Ecosystem Exchange: Gross Primary Productivity and Ecosystem Respiration.
• The site vegetation is specifically described, including dominant tree and ground layer species.

Limitations

• Access to the dataset is available on request subject to agreement, which may restrict immediate use.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
