Flux Tower Measurements from Dryland Agricultural Site

Flux tower measurements of energy and mass exchange between the surface and atmosphere in a dryland farming area, processed using PyFluxPro (v3.4.18). The data includes gap-filled products with Net Ecosystem Exchange partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity and Ecosystem Respiration. The site is located on a privately owned field near Boggabri, New South Wales, with flat terrain at an elevation of approximately 240 meters.

Use Cases

• Analyze Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) dynamics in a dryland agricultural setting to understand carbon balance.
• Partition NEE into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER) to study ecosystem carbon fluxes.
• Model energy exchange between the surface and atmospheric boundary-layer using eddy covariance data.
• Investigate flux tower measurements from a specific geographic location (near Boggabri, NSW) for regional climate studies.

Strengths

• Data processed using the established PyFluxPro (v3.4.18) software as described by Isaac et al. (2017).
• Provides a final, gap-filled product for analysis.
• Includes specific geographic details: flat terrain at an elevation of approximately 240 meters near Boggabri, New South Wales.

Limitations

• The dataset size, row count, and specific column structure are unknown.
• Data is from a single site, limiting geographic generalizability.
• File formats are HTML and PNG, which may not be ideal for direct quantitative analysis without data extraction.
