This dataset is part of the growing FDRI data collection, which includes a range of hydrometeorological, biogeochemical, and other environmental observations across three main catchments. FDRI offers data from newly installed infrastructure along with collated hydrological datasets and information from other organisations.
This dataset contains sub-daily (micro)meteorology, energy budget and greenhouse gas flux measurements from available eddy covariance recharge stations in the Chess river catchment in England, UK.
Recharge station measurements include: air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, components of net radiation, photosynthetically active radiation, NDVI, soil heat flux, soil moisture, soil temperature, soil water potential, wind speed and direction, precipitation, canopy temperature, phenology images, and surface-atmosphere exchanges of carbon, water, and energy. Measurements and images are recorded at 1 and 30 minute resolution.
This work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC-UKRI) as part of the Floods and Droughts Research Infrastructure (FDRI). FDRI is a collaborative effort coordinated by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) in partnership with Imperial College, University of Bristol and the British Geological Survey.

Provenance & quality
Micrometeorology, soil and flux data have been recorded by recharge stations installed in the Chess river catchment. These datasets have been telemetered to UKCEH Wallingford where they are stored and processed following FDRI timeseries data QC procedures.
