Description

This dataset contains high-frequency eddy covariance (EC) measurements over a flat agricultural field at the Thünen Institute in Braunschweig, Germany (52.30° N, 10.45° E).

The data collection period spanned 77 days in the year 2020 split into three files

 

BS2020_06.rds June 11 to July 15
BS2020_10.rds October 1 to November 10
BS_2020_07_subset.rds July 11 to July 25

 

Included in the dataset are 3D wind velocity data, recorded using a uSonic-3 Class A sonic anemometer from Metek GmbH. Additionally, the dataset provides gas concentration measurements for carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O), captured using an LI-7500A open-path infra-red gas analyzer from LI-COR Biosciences GmbH, Germany.

Variables in the dataset

Variable Name Description Units
time Unique time stamp (POSIXct format) Seconds since Unix epoch
CO2 Wet molar density of carbon dioxide µmol m⁻³
H2O Wet molar density of water vapor mmol m⁻³
Ts Sonic temperature Kelvin
u, v, w 3D wind velocity components m s⁻¹

 

 

The dataset is in RDS format (version 3), compatible with R version 3.5.0 or higher.

RDS is a binary file format native to the R programming environment
