FLUXNET Data Access

Data Availability: Data are available online. The role of FLUXNET is to integrate worldwide CO₂ flux measurements by providing monthly and annual heat, water vapor, CO2, ecological site data and gap-filled flux and remote sensing products for over global sites.

• Global flux data sets (FLUXNET)is a "network of regional networks," coordinates regional and global analysis of observations from micrometeorological tower sites. The flux tower sites use eddy covariance methods to measure the exchanges of carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor, and energy between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. At present, over 500 tower sites are operating on a long-term and continuous basis. Researchers also collect data on site vegetation, soil, hydrologic, and meteorological characteristics at the tower sites.

• Integrated Project CarboEurope-IP (CarboEurope IP) Assessment of the European Terrestrial Carbon Balance to advance understanding in a multidisciplinary and integrated way. 61 research centres from 17 European countries have joined forces for a 5-year EU-funded research project started in January 2004. CarboEurope-IP addresses basic scientific questions of high political relevance.

• AsiaFlux (AsiaFlux) is a regional research network bringing together scientists from university and institution in Asia to study the exchanges of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere across daily to inter-annual time scales.
  • Access the AsiaFlux data
• The KoFlux program is dedicated to measure continuously and understand water, carbon, and energy fluxes in key ecosystems of Monsoon Asia. Such work helps the global community make informed decisions in the contest of the Kyotoprotocol. KoFlux participates actively in FluxNet, the global network of micro-meteorological towers and associated research seeking to understand the mechanisms controlling water, carbon, and energy exchanges.There are currently six active flux sites enrolled in KoFlux, which include the plant functional types of fores, rice paddy, and tundra.
