Amazon Carbon Flux Analysis

This repository contains Python scripts developed for the processing, analysis, and visualization of carbon fluxes and atmospheric CO₂ measurements collected at the Jaru Biological Reserve (Rebio Jaru), a tropical rainforest site in the southwestern Amazon.

The code includes routines for data quality control, storage flux calculations using both single-height and profile-based approaches, temporal aggregation of eddy covariance measurements, and the generation of figures used in scientific analyses. Annual, monthly, and diurnal statistics can be derived from the processed datasets, allowing the evaluation of ecosystem carbon exchange and the contribution of storage fluxes to net ecosystem exchange (NEE).

Storage fluxes are computed from CO₂ concentration measurements collected at multiple heights within the forest canopy, enabling comparisons between different methodological approaches and assessment of their impacts on carbon budget estimates.

The repository is intended to support reproducible research and may be used by researchers, students, and practitioners interested in micrometeorology, ecosystem ecology, carbon cycling, and eddy covariance applications in tropical forests.

All scripts were developed in Python and rely primarily on NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, and Matplotlib libraries.
