Micrometeorological CO2 Flux Data at Tomakomai Flux Research Site (TMK)

Click Here to Download Click Here to Download

The comprehensive field research on the carbon cycle in forest ecosystem was conducted at Tomakomai Flux Research site (TMK), in a cool-temperate deciduous needle-leaf forest in Hokkaido, Japan. Unfortunately, the tower and observation systems were destroyed by the strong winds during a typhoon in 2004 and the monitoring was stopped. Available datasets are the flux and meteorological data from 2001 to 2003. This dataset is also provided by the AsiaFlux Database (http://asiaflux.net/index.php?page_id=23).

Measurement method
Net ecosystem CO2 exchange flux (NEE) was measured by eddy covariance (EC) method on a measurement tower (42 m) in a larch forest in the Tomakomai National Forest, Hokkaido. Three-dimensional wind speeds and virtual temperatures are measured using a three-dimensional sonic anemometer-thermometer, and CO2 fluctuation was measured using closed-path CO2/H2O analyzers at height of 27 m. Data were sampled and logged at frequency of 10 Hz. The vertical profile of CO2 concentration was also measured at 7 heights from 1-26 m.
Calculation method
The CO2 concentration measured by closed-path gas analyzer was calibrated once a day using two standard CO2 gases. The net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO2 was derived from the sum of the flux measured by EC (F_EC) and the rate of change in column CO2 storage under EC measurement height (Fs). Half-hourly mean F_EC was calculated as the covariance between fluctuations in vertical wind speed and scalar quantity of CO2 concentration. The setting of the quality control applied to the 30-minute value of the turbulent flux is described in the information file attached to this data together with the source. Half-hourly mean Fs was calculated from the vertical profile of CO2 concentration at 7 heights.
