cops_nebt_ubt3etg_flux_d: Eddy-covariance turbulence data of the energy balance network (NEBT) operating during COPS 2007: station UBT3ETG (Fischerbach)

Eigenmann, Rafael; Foken, Thomas

Dataset
Summary
The energy balance station UBT3ETG near Fischerbach measured high-frequency (20 Hz) eddy-covariance raw data with a CSAT3 (Campbell Scientific, Inc.) sonic anemometer and a KH20 (Campbell Scientific, Inc.) krypton hygrometer above the target land use type meadow. The measuring set-up was continuously running during the entire COPS measurement period in order to provide a complete time series of the turbulent fluxes of momentum, sensible and latent heat. Post-processing was performed using the software package TK2 (developed by the Department of Micrometeorology, University of Bayreuth) which produces quality assured turbulent flux data with an averaging interval of 30 min. The documentation and instruction manual of TK2 (see entry cops_nebt_ubt_info_1) and additional references about the applied flux corrections and post-field data quality control (see entry cops_nebt_ubt_info_2) as well as a document about the general handling of the flux data can be found in supplementary pdf-files within the energy balance and turbulence network (NEBT) experiment of the data base. The turbulent flux data in this data set are flagged according to their quality and checked for an impact of possible internal boundary layers. Additionally, the flux contribution from the target land use type intended to be observed to the total flux measured was calculated applying footprint modeling. Information and references about the internal boundary layer evaluation procedure and the footprint analysis are given in an additional pdf-file (see entry cops_nebt_ubt3etg_info_1). Pictures of the footprint climatology of the station as related to the land use and to the spatial distribution of the quality flags are also included in the supplementary pdf-file (see entry cops_nebt_ubt3etg_info_1).
