Ground-based observations of atmospheric variables are necessary to progressively improve global climate models. Observed data can be used for model evaluation and to develop or tune process models. In arctic permafrost regions, climate-carbon feedbacks might potentially be intense. Therefore, increased efforts to better represent these regions in global climate models have been made in recent years.We present a multiannual time series of soil-atmosphere carbon dioxide fluxes measured in situ with the eddy covariance technique in the Siberian Arctic (72° 22' N, 126° 30' E). The site is part of the international network of carbon dioxide flux observation stations (FLUXNET, Site ID: Ru-Sam). The data set includes consistently processed fluxes based on concentration measurements of closed path and open path gas analyzers. With parallel records from both sensor types, we were able to apply a site-specific correction to open path fluxes. This correction is necessary due to a deterioration of data, caused by heat ... : The uploaded file contains quality screened half-hourly time series of carbon dioxide fluxes measured with open and closed path gas analyzers. Based on those measurements, we compiled and gap filled a net ecosystem exchange time series that includes quality flags and eddy covariance source area estimates. Please refer to the Parameter comment for a description of the available variables and to the publications mentioned under "Further details" for details about data processing. ...
