SCO2FLUX Network Carbon dioxide and methane fluxes with associated environmental observations

SCO2FLUX is a network of sites across Scotland monitoring greenhouse gas exchange and associated meteorological and pedological variables. The majority of sites are eddy-covariance flux towers on peat soils but there is also a tower on an agricultural mineral soil and chamber measurements on a river bank with mineral soil. All sites record basic meteorological variables such as air temperature, relative humidity and incoming total solar radiation. The data are reported at half-hourly intervals and the eddy-covariance data is gap-filled using standard analysis techniques similar to those specified for the global FLUXNET program.
