Methane and carbon dioxide fluxes from a permanent wetland in the Okavango Delta, Botswana, 2018-2020
The data resource consists of half hourly time series of heat (latent and sensible) and trace gas (carbon dioxide and methane) fluxes obtained by eddy-covariance, gas concentrations and ancillary meteorological data (e.g. air temperature, relative humidity, pressure, photosynthetically active radiation, total incoming radiation, wind speed and direction). The data were collected at Guma Lagoon (18°57'53.01"S; 22°22'16.20"E), in the perennially flooded area of the Okavango Delta, Botswana, for the purpose of quantifying greenhouse gas fluxes over a Cyperus papyrus stand. The measurement period was 01/01/2018 to 31/12/2020. The instrumentation was installed the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology; monthly maintenance and data collection visits were effected by the Okavango Research Institute, University of Botswana. The research was funded through NERC grant reference NE/N015746/2 - The Global Methane Budget.

- Statement
-
Raw data from the eddy-covariance instrumentation were processed into half-hourly fluxes using the EddyPro software package version 7.0.6 and quality controlled by Dr Helfter. An automatic weather station recorded recorded air temperature, pressure, relative humidity, wind speed and wind direction, total solar radiation and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). Data from both instruments were downloaded, processed and deposited into the EIDC as a comma separted value (.csv) file.
