FLUXNET, a "network of regional networks," coordinates regional and global analysis of observations from micrometeorological tower sites. The flux tower sites use eddy covariance methods to measure the exchanges of carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor, and energy between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere.

The FLUXNET database contains information about tower location and site characteristics as well as data availability. You can also view the availability of data.

The site characteristics and ancillary database may be queried by site.

A new Synthesis Activity has been initiated, building on the La Thule 2007 Synthesis.
To submit a Proposal for a Paper, contact the Synthesis Committee.

FLUXNET Announcements

In this issue of the FLUXLETTER, we profile a few of the sites that are measuring methane on a long-term basis. These include a managed wetland in California, temperate wetlands in Europe and a remote arctic wetland in Siberia. We also profile a young scientist working in the Florida Everglades, and provide a list of sites from an informal survey where methane measurements have been recently initiated, and others where measurements are more long-term.

Welcome to the new FLUXNET Web site. We switched to a new content management system to improve routine maintenance. In addition, we have switched the underlying database to an open source system. Other modifications include: new layout that streamlines site information presentation; enhanced Announcements/News/Job Posting section; linked citations; and information on dozens of recently added sites.

Welcome to the new FLUXNET website! As you've noticed we made some changes and we'd like to take the opportunity to highlight and explain some of them so that you can more quickly and easily use the new website.
