SUBSET Data Product

The SUBSET Data Product for the FLUXNET2015 Release includes fewer data variables, the ones most commonly used plus minimal data quality and uncertainty information. This significantly reduces the number of variables in this data product compared to the comprehensive FULLSET Data Product.

AUXMETEO Data Product

Auxiliary data product containing results from the downscaling of micrometeorological variables using the ERA-Interim reanalysis data product. Variables in this files relate to the linear regression and error/correlation estimates for each data variable used in the downscaling.

Variables (see list below): TA, PA, VPD, WS, P, SW_IN, LW_IN, LW_IN_JSB

Parameters:

  • ERA_SLOPE: slope of linear regression
  • ERA_INTERCEPT: intercept point of linear regression
  • ERA_RMSE: root mean square error between site data and downscaled data
  • ERA_CORRELATION: correlation coefficient of linear fit (R-Squared == ERA_CORRELATION * ERA_CORRELATION)

AUXNEE Data Product

Auxiliary data product with variables resulting from the processing of NEE (mainly related to USTAR filtering) and generation of RECO and GPP. Variables in this product include success/failure of execution of USTAR filtering methods, USTAR thresholds applied to different versions of variables, and percentile/threshold pairs with best model efficiency results.

Variables:

  • USTAR_MP_METHOD: Moving Point Test USTAR threshold method run
  • USTAR_CP_METHOD: Change Point Detection USTAR threshold method run
  • NEE_USTAR50_[UT]: NEE using 50-percentile ofUSTAR thresholds from bootstrapping at USTAR filtering step using method UT (CUT, VUT)
  • NEE_[UT]_REF: Reference NEE, using model efficiency approach, using method UT (CUT, VUT)
  • [PROD]_[ALG]_[UT]_REF: Reference product PROD (RECO or GPP), using model efficiency approach, using algorithm ALG(NT, DT) for partitioning and method UT (CUT, VUT)

Parameters:

  • SUCCESS_RUN: 1 if run of method (USTAR_MP_METHOD or USTAR_CP_METHOD) was successful, 0 otherwise
  • USTAR_PERCENTILE: percentile of USTAR thresholds from bootstrapping at USTAR filtering step
  • USTAR_THRESHOLD: USTAR threshold value corresponding to USTAR_PERCENTILE
  • [RR]_USTAR_PERCENTILE: percentile of USTAR thresholds from bootstrapping at USTAR filtering step at resolution RR (HH, DD, WW, MM, YY)
  • [RR]_USTAR_THRESHOLD: USTAR threshold value corresponding to USTAR_PERCENTILE at resolution RR (HH, DD, WW, MM, YY)
