Arcturus Emerald OzFlux tower site
Data for a flux station in Arcturus, in central Queensland
Please see the attached metadata report for more information on the instruments and the site.
The Arcturus greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring station established in July 2010 50 km southeast of Emerald, Queensland, with the flux tower started from June 2011. The station was part of a collaborative project between Geoscience Australia (GA) and CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research (CMAR).
Location of Arcturus:
Latitude: -23.85872
Longitude: 148.4746
The tower borders 2 land use types split N-S. To the west is lightly forested tussock grasslands. To the E crop lands, cycling through fallow periods.
The instruments were installed on a square lattice tower with an adjustable pulley lever system to raise and lower the instrument arm. Fluxes of heat, water vapour and carbon dioxide are measured using the open-path eddy flux technique. Supplementary measurements above the canopy include temperature, humidity, windspeed, wind direction, rainfall, and the 4 components of net radiation. Soil heat flux, soil moisture and soil temperature measurements were also collected.
Please see the metadata report for more detail on the QA/QC process, and site.instrument details.
If there are any issues or questions, contact the site PI.
