Isoprene Flux and Meteorological Measurements from Scotland, Summer 2015

Isoprene flux and concentration measurements were made at Auchencorth Moss during the summer of 2015. The dataset includes supporting meteorology such as air temperature, photosynthetically active radiation, wind speed, and sensible heat flux. It was published by the Environmental Information Data Centre.

Use Cases

• Modeling biogenic isoprene emissions based on measured flux data.
• Analyzing the relationship between isoprene concentration and photosynthetically active radiation.
• Studying the influence of meteorological parameters like wind speed and air temperature on trace gas fluxes.

Strengths

• Includes both primary isoprene measurements and supporting meteorological parameters.
• Data collection uses established techniques: proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) and eddy covariance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
