2026_r1 release of flux tower measurements from the Kopuatai raised bog on New Zealand's North Island. Data were processed using standard micrometeorological methods and the ONEFlux software to produce gap-filled Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE), Gross Primary Productivity (GPP), and Ecosystem Respiration (ER). This dataset was produced as part of the FLUXNET Shuttle project.
Use Cases
- Modeling carbon sequestration in peatlands based on Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) data.
- Analyzing ecosystem productivity and respiration dynamics based on partitioned GPP and ER data.
- Studying the impact of climate variables on wetland energy and mass exchange based on flux tower measurements.
- Validating regional climate models for wetland ecosystems using site-specific flux data.
Strengths
- Data processed using standard micrometeorological methods and the ONEFlux software, as described in Pastorello et al (2020).
- Site is a well-characterized, protected Ramsar wetland with known peat depth (up to 14 m) and area (about 100 km²).
- Includes a final, gap-filled product for key carbon flux variables (NEE, GPP, ER).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
