Description
Berkshire, UK, eddy covariance time series data from an organically managed grassland, measuring surface-atmosphere exchanges of carbon dioxide, sensible heat, latent heat, and momentum. The dataset covers a 31-month period from January 2017 to July 2019 and includes ancillary weather, soil physics, and turbulence quality variables. It was produced by the Environmental Information Data Centre as part of the UK-SCAPE programme.
Use Cases
Model net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange (NEE) using ancillary weather and soil physics observations.
Analyze the relationship between sensible heat (H) and latent heat (LE) fluxes with atmospheric turbulence variables.
Assess seasonal patterns in momentum (τ) flux densities over the 31-month measurement period.
Investigate the quality of turbulent flux observations in relation to described atmospheric turbulence variables.
Strengths
Time series data covers a 31-month continuous period from 2017 to 2019.
Includes multiple flux types (NEE, H, LE, τ) alongside ancillary weather and soil physics data.
Produced by an authoritative organization (Environmental Information Data Centre) under a specific research programme (UK-SCAPE).
Limitations
Limited geographic scope to a single grassland site in Berkshire, UK.
Temporal coverage ends in July 2019, which may limit analysis of recent trends.
Specific data volume (rows, size) and column structure are unknown.
