Data from the Robson Creek site, Far North Queensland.
The Robson Creek flux station is located in the Danbulla National Park, part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage forest estate. It was established in 2013 and is managed by James Cook University.
The Robson Creek site is part of the FNQ Rainforest SuperSite : the Robson Creek node, which is part of the TERN Australian SuperSite Network (ASN).
The Robson Creek flux station is located at the foothills of the Lamb Range:
17? 7'2.89"S 145?37'48.50"E
The forest is classified as complex mesophyll vine forest, there are 211 species in the 25Ha plot, and average tree height is 28m. Elevation of the site is 711m and mean annual precipitation is 2000mm. The upland rainforests of the Atherton Tablelands are some of the most biodiverse and carbon dense forests in Australia.
The instruments are mounted on a free standing tower at 40m. 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, incoming and reflected shortwave radiation and net radiation.
The 2013 and 2014 data sets have not completed Quality Control/Quality Assurance procedures , this will be achieved by 31/12/2014. Please request access to QCd data sets prior to this date through the PI.
