description: This dataset contains time series observations of land surface-atmosphere net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange (NEE) and supporting micrometeorological observations collected at 13 peatland eddy covariance (EC) flux observation sites located across Wales, Scotland and England. Sites were active at different timescales between 2008 and 2020. The dataset represents a subset of the variables measured at each site. The full range of variables monitored at each location can be accessed via EIDC records and/or by contacting the authors. This work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council award number NE/R016429/1 as part of the UK-SCAPE programme delivering National Capability.
provenance: ProvenanceStatement
  label: Eddy covariance (EC) and micrometeorological observations were made using open- or closed-path eddy covariance systems. Turbulent flux densities were calculated from the raw EC data using the EddyPRO® Flux Calculation Software. Quality Control of EC data involved removal of statistical outliers and tests that theoretical requirements for the successful application of the EC technique were not violated significantly. Further details are available in the supporting documentation.
