Warra Flux Data Collection

All flux raw data is subject to the quality control process OzFlux QA/QC to generate data from L1 to L6. Levels 3 to 6 are available for re-use. Datasets contain Quality Controls flags which will indicate when data quality is poor and has been filled from alternative sources. For more details, refer...

Description
Summary:All flux raw data is subject to the quality control process OzFlux QA/QC to generate data from L1 to L6. Levels 3 to 6 are available for re-use. Datasets contain Quality Controls flags which will indicate when data quality is poor and has been filled from alternative sources. For more details, refer to Isaac et al (2017) in the Publications section, https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-14-2903-2017 . Credit We at TERN acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians throughout Australia, New Zealand and all nations. We honour their profound connections to land, water, biodiversity and culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. The site is managed by the University of Tasmania and funded by TERN. Purpose The purpose of the Warra flux site is: to study the ecophysiological processes and rates of C accumulation and decomposition in a mixed-aged, tall, wet Eucalyptus obliqua forest originating from past natual wildfires to measure the exchanges of carbon dioxide, water vapour and energy between the forest and the atmosphere using micrometeorological techniques to link ecophysiological processes and rates of C accumulations and decomposition with the biota. to utilize the measurements in combination with remote sensing data and land surface models to upscale estimate the net exchanges of carbon and water at regional scale. Progress Code: onGoing Maintenance and Update Frequency: biannually This dataset consists of measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer in wet sclerophyll forest using eddy covariance techniques. Eucalyptus obliqua forests dominate the vegetation below 650 m where they exist as fire-maintained communities. On fertile soils these forests attain mature heights in excess of 55m: the tallest E. obliqua reaches a height of 90m. The flux station is installed in a stand of tall, mixed-aged E. obliqua forest (77 and >250 years-old) with a rainforest understorey and a dense man-fern ( Dicksonia antarctica ) ...
