File: C_FLUX_TOVI_OUTPUT.csv Description:30 minute carbon fluxes calculated Li-Cor TOVI software from Eddy Covariance tower at site G11N2 as umols (not C or CO2 mass). Data is gapfilled after QC, U* threshold processing, and footprint analysis, quality flags. Column descriptions: 1) Date and Time 2) GPP - Gross Primary Productivity (umol.s^-1.m^-2) 3) NEE - Net Ecosystem Exchange (umol.s^-1.m^-2) 4) RECO - Ecosystem Respiration (umol.s^-1.m^-2) B. File: STAT_DATA_NOT_GAPFILLED.csv Description: SUbset of actual observations (not gapfilled), and filtered to remove data with quality flags or low instrument signal. NEE processed using R package REddyProc https://cran.rstudio.com/web/packages/REddyProc/ Column descriptions: 1) RAD_GLOB - Global Radiation (W.m^-2) 2) WTD - Depth of watertable below soil surface (cm) 3) NEE - Net Ecosystem Exchange (umol.s^-1.m^-2) C. File: WELL_WATERTABLE_DEPTHS.csv Description: Depth of watertable below soil surface (cm). Negative values indicate position below soil surace, postive value indicates depth of inundation above the soil. Symbol "----" indicated USGS well was not yet operational at site PLNWR_DNL.
