Half hourly fluxes of sensible heat, latent energy and carbon, observed by eight eddy covariance towers in the Northern Chihuahuan Desert, North America, 2018-2019
Half-hourly data from eight eddy covariance towers deployed in the Sevilleta Refuge (New Mexico, USA). The main sensors deployed were sonic anemometer, relative humidity sensor and carbon dioxide concentration sensor . They were deployed and maintained by Fabio Boschetti and Andrew Cunliffe (University of Exeter). The data were collected to test the new design of eddy covariance towers and investigate the spatial variability of fluxes. Data were collected from 2018-11-01 to 2019-11-01. The data contains very few small gaps due to maintenance. Half-hourly data were gap-filled using code published on GitHub. The research was funded through NERC grant reference NE/R00062X/1 - "Do dryland ecosystems control variability and recent trends in the land CO2 sink?"

Raw data were pre-processed to check for the following, spike detection, coordinate rotation, frequency response correction, cross correlation and WPL (Webb, Pearman, and Leuning) correction. Half-hourly data were gap-filled using the code published on GitHub and subjected to season-specific u* filtering using the ReddyProc R package v1.2. Cospectra analysis was performed using Hamming window. Spikes in the data were excluded using a method based on Tukey’s fence. Data were supplied to the EIDC as comma seperated value (.csv) files.
