Yanco Flux Tower Measurements of Net Ecosystem Exchange

2026 release of flux tower data measuring energy and mass exchange between the surface and atmosphere using eddy covariance techniques. The Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network processed the data with PyFluxPro and ONEFlux software to produce gap-filled Net Ecosystem Exchange partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity and Ecosystem Respiration.

Use Cases

• Modeling Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) from micrometeorological flux tower measurements.
• Partitioning NEE into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER) components for carbon cycle analysis.
• Analyzing seasonal and diurnal patterns in energy and mass fluxes within a semi-arid catchment landscape.
• Correlating flux data with local climate variables like temperature (up to 37.4°C) and annual rainfall (~465 mm).

Strengths

• Data processed using established FLUXNET methodologies: PyFluxPro for quality control and ONEFlux for gap-filling and partitioning.
• Provides final, gap-filled product for key carbon flux variables (NEE, GPP, ER).

Limitations

• Specific temporal coverage, row count, and column details are unknown from the provided description.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single tower site in the Murrumbidgee Catchment, New South Wales.
