Yorkshire, UK, provides the location for 30-minute observations of land-atmosphere exchange fluxes from a bioenergy maize crop. The dataset contains net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange, sensible and latent heat fluxes, and weather and soil physics measurements collected between June and October 2021 by the Environmental Information Data Centre.
Use Cases
- Model net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange dynamics using 30-minute flux observations and concurrent weather data.
- Analyze the relationship between sensible heat flux, latent heat flux, and soil physics measurements over the maize growing season.
- Calibrate land surface models with eddy covariance measurements of turbulent energy and carbon dioxide fluxes.
Strengths
- Data collection uses the established micrometeorological eddy covariance method for turbulent flux measurement.
- Includes concurrent weather and soil physics measurements alongside core carbon dioxide and energy fluxes.
- Covers a full growing season from 02/06/2021 to 10/10/2021.
Limitations
- Limited to a single site and crop type (maize) in Yorkshire, UK, reducing geographic and agricultural generalizability.
- Temporal coverage is confined to one growing season in 2021, preventing multi-year trend analysis.
