Full description

The Dry River flux station is located approximately 89km south of Katherine, Northern Territory: 15?15'31.62"S, 132?22'14.04"E. The flux tower site is classified as open forest savanna site. The overstory is co-dominated by tree species E. tetrodonta, E. dichromophloia, C. terminalis, Sorghum intrans, S. plumosum, Themeda triandra and Chrysopogon fallax, with canopy height averaging 12.3m. Elevation of the site is close to 175m and mean annual precipitation from a nearby Bureau of Meteorology site measures 895.3mm. Maximum temperatures range from 29.1?C (in June) to 37.6?C (in July), while minimum temperatures range from 14.6?C (in July) to 24.8?C (in November). Maximum temperatures vary seasonally by 8.5?C and minimum by 10.2?C. The instrument mast is 15 meters tall.
