Fogg Dam Flux Data: Wetland Energy and Carbon Exchange Measurements

Fogg Dam Flux Data Release 2022_v2 consists of flux tower measurements of energy and mass exchange between a wetland surface and the atmosphere using eddy covariance techniques. The data were processed with PyFluxPro (v3.4.7) to produce a final, gap-filled product with partitioned Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE). The dataset is provided by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network's Data Discovery platform and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling wetland carbon budgets based on partitioned Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER) data.
• Analyzing seasonal energy exchange dynamics based on heat, water vapor, and carbon dioxide flux measurements.
• Studying vegetation-climate interactions based on ancillary measurements of LAI, leaf physiology, and soil properties.
• Calibrating remote sensing models based on airborne Lidar and hyperspectral measurements taken in 2008.

Strengths

• Data processing is documented, using PyFluxPro v3.4.7 as described by Isaac et al. (2017).
• Includes a comprehensive suite of meteorological measurements: temperature, humidity, wind, rainfall, and radiation.
• Site characteristics are well-documented, including vegetation species, elevation (4 m), and annual precipitation (1411 mm).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The temporal coverage of the core flux data is not explicitly stated in the provided description.
