flux_YYYY.txt - computed fluxes, -999.000 for missing Year - year MO - two digit month DD - two digit day of month HH - two digit hour of day (most are UTC, except prefnee in CST) DOY - Day of Year (1-366) fDOY - Day of year fraction (1.0-366.958) NEE_30 - Net Ecosystem Exchange at 30 m in umol m-2 s-1 LE_30 - Latent heat flux at 30 m in W m-2 H_30 - Sensible heat flux at 30 m in W m-2 u*_30 - Friction velocity at 30 m in m s-1 same for _122 at 122 m same for _396 at 396 m cal_YYY.txt - calibration coefficients - don't worry about this file for now B and M are intercept and slope for calibration fits for CO2 (C) and H2O (Q) signals, for the 5 levels (30m, 122m, 396m trailer, and 122m and 396m in situ) diag_YYYY.txt - diagnostics - again don't worry for the moment, but lots of variables that could be useful for sleuthing, including storage fluxes, lag times, spectral corrections, mixing ratios, air densities, etc... e.g: FLAG1-5 not used at the moment Cstor_30 = storage of CO2 below flux sensor at 30 m in ppm m s-1 Qmix - mixing ratio met_YYYY.txt - hourly average meteorological data (there is also one minute average data in another directory if we need it) Year, MO, DD, HH, DOY, fDOY - same as flux_YYYY CO2_xx = CO2 concentration in ppm at 30,122,396 m Uxx = mean wind speed in m s-1 at 30,122,396 m Udirxx = mean wind direction in degrees Txx = mean air temperature in degrees C RHxx = mean relative humidity in percent Qxx = mean water vapor mixing ratio in g kg-1 Patm = atmospheric pressure at tower base in kPa Precip = total hourly precipitation in mm PAR = incoming photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) in umol m-2 s-1 prefnee_YYYY.txt - first cut preferred/gap filled NEE (we combine the three levels using an algorithm and fill using regression) Year, MO, DD, HH, DOY, fDOY - same as flux_YYYY prefNEE - preferred NEE in umol m-2 s-1 prefLE - latent heat flux W m-2 prefH - sensible heat flux W m-2 prefflag - -1.0 for missing data, else which height are we using fillNEE - gap-filled NEE based on u* screening and Cook-Desai gap-filling method GPP - model estimate of gross primary productivity in umol m-2 s-1 RE - model estimate of ecosystem respiration modNEE - model estimate of NEE used in fillNEE Temp - gap-filled temperature used in model regression (usually 30 m) PAR - gap-filled PAR used in model regression Precip - total precipitation CO2 - mean CO2 concentration at 30 m U - wind speed in m s-1 at 30 m Udir - wind direction in degrees at 30 m
