High-frequency methane concentration and atmospheric turbulence data were collected at the Cambridge Bay site in Canada during 2016. The dataset provides methane flux calculations at 30-minute intervals. It was created by the organization AMD_KOPRI and last updated in August 2016.
Use Cases
- Analyze temporal patterns in methane flux using the 30-minute interval time-series data.
- Correlate methane concentration measurements with concurrent atmospheric turbulence data from the 3-D sonic anemometer.
- Model methane emissions for the Cambridge Bay region based on the high-frequency flux observations.
- Validate and calibrate regional climate or biogeochemical models using the site-specific flux dataset.
Strengths
- Data provides high-frequency methane flux at a 30-minute resolution.
- Includes concurrent atmospheric turbulence measurements from a 3-D sonic anemometer.
Limitations
- Dataset is limited to a single year (2016) and a single geographic site.
- Sample size, row count, and specific column details are unknown.
