What is the FLUXNET Data System Initiative?
The FLUXNET Data System, which is planned to be fully operational by December 2025, will be a continually updated, open-access resource maintained by the coalition of regional and global flux tower networks that brought you the FLUXNET2015 dataset. The core of the data system will be measurements from flux tower teams all over the globe.
How to Participate in the FLUXNET Data System Initiative
Thank You to Our Contributors!
We extend our gratitude to everyone sharing data and volunteering their time to support the FLUXNET Data System Initiative. Your commitment is essential for the success of our global flux community.
Key Deadlines for 2025 FLUXNET Data System Release
1. Register New Sites
Deadline: March 31, 2025
Register your site at your Regional Hub (Where do I submit data?)
2. Submit New Data
Deadline: May 1, 2025
Submit data in time for quality checks before the 2025 system launch
It can take time for new sites to pass the QA/QC checks – the teams will do their best to process data received by May 1 make into the data system this year.
Ongoing Submissions
The FLUXNET Data System accepts data continuously, but meeting these deadlines helps ensure that the first annual paper accurately represents our global community.
Already Sharing Data? Keep Going!
If you’re already submitting data to your Regional Hub, no additional action is needed. Thank you for your continued contributions!
Not Sharing Yet? Join the Effort!
If you haven’t yet shared your site’s flux data, now is a great time to join this global initiative and expand the spatial and temporal coverage of flux observations.
Need Help? The Data Support Team is Here for You!
