Fluxes of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy exchange have been measured at 38 forest, grassland, and crop sites as part of the EUROFLUX and AmeriFlux projects. A total of 97 site-years of data was compiled, primarily between 1996 and 1998 but also for 1992-1995 and 1999-2000. Half-hour flux and meteorology measurements are included plus the gap-filled half-hour estimates and aggregations to day and night, weekly, monthly, and annual periods.
The FLUXNET 2000 Synthesis Workshop was held at the Marconi Conference Center, Marshall, California, June 11-14, 2000. The Marconi Flux Data Collection was compiled to aid in exploring the interactions between the terrestrial biosphere and the overlying atmosphere through carbon, water, and energy exchanges. The workshop resulted in several studies to synthesize and interpret differences and similarities in long-term measurements of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy exchanges between vegetation and the atmosphere for a spectrum of ecosystems. A series of synthesis papers based on these data and studies was published in a special issue of the Agriculture and Forest Meteorology, Volume 113, 2002. The papers are listed in the reference section. This data product is being archived as a record of the data used the AFM special issue. Updates and revisions to the data are available at the FLUXNET web site.
The eddy covariance technique is used for long-term continuous measurements of mass and energy fluxes to capture seasonal dynamics and allow for a meaningful scaling with respect to time. The equipment and methodology were standardized among sites by using common software and instrumentation. Comparisons of ecosystem fluxes among sites are usually performed on annual or monthly sums calculated on complete data records; however, the average site data coverage during a year was only 65%. Therefore, development and application of robust and consistent data gap-filling methods was required before fluxes could be calculated. One of the outcomes of the FLUXNET project was computer applications to process the data into complete, consistent, quality assured, and documented data sets (Falge et al. 2001a,b). Gap-filled flux data from four different filling methods are reported. Selected meteorological parameters were also gap filled to support flux estimating methods and are reported. Note that the measured/estimated CO2 fluxes and storage fluxes were summed into net ecosystem exchange (NEE), and ONLY NEE data are reported. A companion file of related information about this compilation of gap-filled flux products is also provided ( ftp://daac.ornl.gov/data/fluxnet/gap_filled_marconi/comp/Marconi_gapzips_website.pdf ).
Data reported in this data set have been processed from data kindly provided by flux tower scientists. The data were checked, filled by various methods, and processed and aggregated into a consistent format at five time resolutions. A version of the data has been made available, but the data are still subject to change. For example, some of the data for the EUROFLUX sites were updated and expanded as part of the EUROFLUX collection [Valentini R. (ed.) 2003]. For information on updates for all of the Marconi data, users are urged to check the FLUXNET Project Web page (http://daac.ornl.gov/FLUXNET/fluxnet.html) and to communicate with the contributing PIs before using the data.
Users may access the convenient subsetting tool provided in the ORNL DAAC Search and Order system to select data files.

****_aa_bb_cc.flx for fluxes (NEE, LE, H, and G)
'****' serves as site and year identification (e.g., AB97 = Aberfeldy 1997)
An "e" appended to the site and year (e.g., AB98e_...) indicates that the data came unmodified from the EUROFLUX-CD (Falge et al., 2002)
An "n" appended to the site and year (e.g., BV98n_...) indicates that the data are "new", having been revised and/or reprocessed for this collection
Site and year without an appended letter indicates that the data have not been previously released.
'aa' refers to 3 basic gap filling methods: re = nonlinear regression, lu = look up tables, and dc = mean daily courses
'bb' refers to data pretreatment: u0 = u* corrected, and u1 = no correction applied
'cc' refers to time resolution: hh = halfhourly, dd = daily, ww = weekly, mm = monthly, and yy = yearly
Format of daily to yearly calculated flux data files (*.flx):
The data format of daily to yearly files is standardized, and contains 3 blocks of data: total (i.e. day and nighttime), daytime, and nighttime. The data are space-delimited and missing values are set to -9999.
