Data

Harold Neumann, Robert Mickle, Ralf Staebler

Summary

The BOREAS TF-2 team collected energy, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and momentum flux data

above the canopy and in profiles through the canopy, along with meteorological data at the BOREAS

SSA-OA site. Above-canopy measurements began in early February and ran through mid-September

of 1994. Measurements were collected over a longer period of 1994 than most BOREAS flux sites.

Daily precipitation data from several gauges were also collected. The data are available in tabular

ASCII files.

1. Data Set Overview

1.1 Data Set Identification

BOREAS TF-02 SSA-OA Tower Flux, Meteorological, and Precipitation Data

1.2 Data Set Introduction

The Tower Flux (TF)-02 team collected heat, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and momentum fluxes

along with meteorological data measured from the BOReal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS)

Southern Study Area (SSA) Old Aspen (OA) tower. Measurements were collected at several different

heights within and above the forest canopy to produce profiles of several variables, including sensible

heat flux, latent heat flux, air density, wind speed and direction, friction velocity, momentum flux,

CO2 concentration and flux, water vapor flux, air temperature, vapor pressure, and dewpoint

temperature. Data collection began in early February 1994, making this site the earliest BOREAS flux

tower to collect data in 1994.

1.3 Objective/Purpose

Thegeneralobjectivewasto studyCO 2 and water vapor exchange between the forest and

atmosphere at the SSA-OA site. Specific objectives were:

• To measure the fluxes of sensible heat, H20 and CO2 above and within the aspen stand

throughout the year.

• To obtain from the CO2 flux data estimates of gross photosynthesis and respiration.

• To determine the contribution of the hazelnut understory to net ecosystem productivity (NEP).

• To determine the effects of environmental factors on stand evapotranspiration and NEP.

• To take part in the development of procedures for scaling up component fluxes to the stand

level.

• To study the processes controlling turbulent transfer of H20 and CO2 within the stand.

• To take part in the evaluation of methods of estimating nocturnal CO2 in and above the stand.

1.4 Summary of Parameters

Profiles through the forest canopy of the following variables were measured: latent heat flux, latent

heat storage, sensible heat flux, air density, CO2 flux, CO2 concentration, CO2 storage flux,

momentum flux, air temperature, wind speed and direction, friction velocity, standard deviation of the

vertical wind speed, water vapor flux, and virtual heat flux. Other measurements include net radiation,

incident and reflected photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD), incident shortwave radiation, air

pressure, relative humidity, canopy surface temperature, absolute humidity, ozone concentration, and

precipitation.

1.5 Discussion

In 1993 and 1994, the TF-01 group measured fluxes under the canopy at the SSA-OA site, while

the TF-02 group measured above-canopy fluxes and profiles at that site. In 1996, the TF-01 group

moved its equipment to the top of the 39-meter tower to measure above-canopy fluxes; this document

describes the TF-02 1994 data collection effort.

The TF-02 group operated an eddy correlation system at the 39-m height. It consisted of a 3-D

sonic anemometer (model DAT-310 with model TR-61B probe, Kaijo-Denki, Tokyo, Japan) with a

20-cm path length, a model 6262 Infrared Gas Analyzer (IRGA), and an ozone sensor. Air was drawn

at 6.5 l/rain down 6-m long heated 3.2-ram inner diameter (i.d.) Bev-a-line sampling tubing, then

pumped through the sample cell using two diaphragm pumps (model TD-4X2N, Brailsford Co. Rye,

NY) connected in parallel. To prevent condensation, the sampling tubing was heated (2-3 °C above

ambient) by passing an electric current through 20-AWG nichrome wire (about 15 ohms resistance)

coiled around the exterior of the tubing. Sample cell pressure was approximately atmospheric pressure

and the delay time was 1.2 s. The IRGA was operated in differential mode with 320 retool/tool CO2 in

dry air flowing through the reference cell at 30 cm3/min. TF-02 also operated 3-D sonic anemometers

at 28.6, 18.6, 5.9 (all TR-61B probes), and 0.5 m (miniature probe). A second University of British

Columbia (UBC) IRGA unit was used with the 28.6, 5.9, and 0.5 m units during selected periods in

1994 (see P.C. Yang's Ph.D. thesis, 1998).

Other measurements included air temperatures using aspirated platinum resistance thermometers (at

0.8, 2.3, 6.8, 9.9, 13.0, 16.1, 19.2, 22.3, 25.4, 30.1, and 34.6 m), downward total and diffuse

solar (model PSP pyranometer, The Eppley Laboratory, Inc., Newport, RI), downward longwave

(Eppley model PIR pyrgeometer) and net radiation (Middleton model CN- 1 net radiometer), PPFD

(LI-COR model 190-SB quantum sensor) above the forest (at 33-m height from the ground), air

humidity above (model M1 dewpoint hygrometer with a model D2 sensor, General Eastern

Instruments Corp., Watertown, MA) and below (model HMP-35C sensor, Vaisala, Inc., Woburn,

MA) the overstory, wind speed and direction above and below the overstory (model 05031 vane

propeller anemometer, R.M. Young Co., Traverse City, MI), and infrared surface temperatures of the

aspen and hazelnut canopies (model 4000 IR thermometer, Everest Interscience, Inc., Fullerton, CA).

Precipitation was measured using a weighing rain gauge (Belfort Instrument Co., Baltimore, MD). In

addition, TF-02 operated a CO2 concentration profile system, consisting of eight levels: 0.8, 2.3, 9.5,

15.7, 18.8, 21.9, 25, and 34.5 m. Air was drawn through heated Dekoron tubing (9.3-ram inner

diameter) by a rotary pump and pushed through a LI-COR 6262 IRGA by a small diaphragm pump.

3. Theory of Measurements

Measurements of the fluxes of momentum, sensible heat, water vapor, and C02 were made with the

eddy covariance technique. Velocity components, air temperature, water vapor density, and CO2

concentration in the air were sampled rapidly, and calculations of relevant covariances were performed

from these samples to obtain the fluxes. For example, the flux of CO2 was determined as follows:

F c = w'c'

where w' is the departure of the vertical velocity component from its mean over the averaging interval,

usually 30 minute, and c' is the departure of CO2 concentration from its mean.

At the overstory level, three rotations in the coordinate transformation are applied to the flux data to

make the lateral component (v '), vertical component (w '), and covariance (u 'v ') of the wind vector

equal to zero. At the understory level, however, only the mean lateral wind velocity component was

rotated to zero under the suspicion that nonzero mean vertical velocities are possible within the trunk

space. Webb, Pearman, and Leuning (1980) (WPL) corrections were made to the water vapor and

carbon dioxide fluxes measured using the closed-path LI-COR 6262 infrared gas analyzer (IRGA).

Broadening correction was done, but not on-line (see Chen et al., 1998, for summary of theory).

4. Equipment

4.1 Sensor/Instrument Description

4.1.1 Collection Environment

Measurements were collected from beginning of the year to mid-September of 1994. Over that time

period, temperature conditions from less than -30 °C to over 30 °C were experienced.

4.1.2 Source/Platform

A 37-m walk-up scaffold main tower and a 6-m scaffold tower about 40 m from the main tower.

Rain gauges were located in a small clearing 70 m NE of the main tower.

4.1.3 Source/Platform Mission Objectives

The objective of the flux tower was to support instrumentation for the study of the fluxes of C02,

energy, water vapor, and momentum between the forest and atmosphere at the SSA-OA.

4.1.4 Key Variables

Variables measured using eddy covariance: C02 and water vapor fluxes, momentum fluxes,

sensible heat fluxes, and latent heat fluxes.

Supporting meteorological variables: net radiation, downward solar radiation, incident and

reflected PPFD, wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, and precipitation.

Page 4
4.1.5 Principles of Operation

A sonic anemometer determines the wind speed by a pair of transducers acting alternately as

transmitters and receivers, sending pulses of high-frequency ultrasound between themselves. The 3-D

sonic has three pairs of transducers arranged in nonparallel axes.

The LI-COR 6262 CO2/HzO analyzer is based on the difference in absorption of infrared radiation

passing through two gas sampling cells. The reference cell is used for a gas of known CO2 or H20

concentration, and the sample cell is used for a gas of unknown concentration. Infrared radiation is

transmitted through both cell paths, and the output of the analyzer is proportional to the difference in

absorption between the two.

The principles of operation of most of the supporting instruments can be found in Pearcy et al.

(1991) and Fritschen and Gay (1979).

4.1.6 Sensor/Instrument Measurement Geometry

Above-canopy sensors were supported by a vertical triangular mast mounted on top of a 37-m-tall

scaffold-type main tower. Air temperature profiles were measured using aspirated resistance bulb

thermometers at 0.8, 2.3, 6.8, 9.9, 13.0, 16.1, 19.2, 22.3, 25.4, 30.1, and 34.6 m above ground

level. All thermometers were mounted on the main tower except for the 0.8 and 2.3 m heights, which

were on a minitower 8 m WSW of the main tower. Vapor pressure and dewpoint profiles were

measured using two water vapor instruments connected to the sampling system, a chilled mirror

dewpoint hygrometer and an IRGA. Measurements were collected at 0.8, 2.3, 9.9, 16.1, 19.2, 22.3,

25.4, and 34.6 m above ground level, with all sampling locations on the main tower except for 0.8 and

2.3 m heights, which were on the minitower. The same sampling heights were used for the CO2

concentration profiles. 3-D sonic anemometers were operated at 39.5, 28.6, 18.6, 5.9 (all TR-61B

probes), and 0.5 m (miniature probe) to provide profiles of energy, water vapor, and CO2 fluxes.

Rain gauges were located in a small clearing 70 m NE of the main tower. Wind speed and direction

were measured with a vane propeller anemometer mounted on the tower at 39.4 m height.

Above-canopy air temperature and relative humidity were measured at 37.3 m height. The atmospheric

pressure sensor was located in instrument hut B. Incident shortwave radiation was measured at 39.4 m

height, mounted above the SW comer of the tower. Incident PPFD was measured at 38.8 m mounted

1 m out from the SW comer of the tower, and the reflected PPFD was measured at 38.7 m, just below

the incident PPFD sensor. The two net radiometers were mounted side-by-side at end of a boom arm

4.5 m to SSW of the SW comer of the tower at 38.5 m height. The IR thermometer measuring canopy

surface temperature was mounted at 27.4 m viewing canopy to NNE at an angle of 30 °. Above-canopy

dewpoint was measured with a dewpoint hygrometer at 39.5 m. Above-canopy CO2 concentration was

measured at 34.6 m. Above-canopy ozone concentration was measured at 37.4 m, and the below

canopy ozone concentration was sampled just outside instrument hut B at 3 m.

4.2 Calibration

4.2.1 Specifications

Zeroing and calibration was done manually on the IRGA. Calibration was done using 350 ppm

CO2 cylinders (Medigas) calibrated using AES cylinders and a LI-COR dewpoint generator.

The two net radiometers were intercompared. The comparison yielded NET_RAD_ABV_CNPY_2

= 1.11 I*NET_RAD_ABV_CNPY_I for net radiation values greater than 0 and

NET_RAD_ABV_CNPY_2 = 1.224*NET_RAD_ABV_CNPY_l net radiation values less than 0.

TF-01 checked net radiometer calibration against a precision pyranometer by shading on 11-Apr-1994

at 17:30 to 18:30 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT); the change in NET_RAD_ABV_CNPY_2 was 3.1%

greater than for the standard.

4.2.1.1 Tolerance

The tipping bucket gauge had a resolution of 0.45 ram.

4.2.2 Frequency of Calibration

Not given.

4.2.3 Other Calibration Information

None.

5. Data Acquisition Methods

The overstory eddy correlation system consisted of a 3-D sonic anemometer (model DAT-310 with

model TR-61B probe, Kaijo-Denki, Tokyo, Japan) with a 20-cm path length, a model 6262 IRGA,

and an ozone sensor. Air was drawn at 6.5 1/min down 6-m-long heated 3.2-mm i.d. Bev-a-line

sampling tubing, then pumped through the sample cell using two diaphragm pumps (model TD-4X2N,

Brailsford Co. Rye, NY) connected in parallel. To prevent condensation, the sampling tubing was

heated (2-3 °C above ambient) by passing an electric current through 20-AWG nichrome wire (about

15 ohms resistance) coiled around the exterior of the tubing. Sample cell pressure was approximately

atmospheric pressure, and the delay time was 1.2 s. The IRGA was operated in differential mode with

320 mmol/mol CO2 in dry air flowing through the reference cell at 30 cm3/min. All raw data were

recorded using PC systems with backup tape drives. Half-hour fluxes were calculated online.

coordinate transform applied set only mean v wind vector to zero.

6.2 Field Notes

None.

7. Data Description

7.1 Spatial Characteristics

7.1.1 Spatial Coverage

All data were collected at the BOREAS SSA-OA site in the Prince Albert National Park (PANP).

North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) coordinates for the site are:

• SSA-OA: latitude 53.62889 ° N, longitude 106.19779 ° W, and elevation of 600.63 m.

7.1.2 Spatial Coverage Map

Not applicable.

7.1.3 Spatial Resolution

Although the eddy covariance measurement is made at one point, it is well known that the fluxes

measured with this technique can represent fluxes averaged over a relatively large area. An analysis of

the upwind land surface area that contributes to a scalar flux measurement, often referred to as "fetch"

or "footprint," is crucial in understanding the origins of the flux and any possible influences of spatial

heterogeneity. According to Blanken's (1997) results (using Schuepp et al., 1990, model), the

cumulative flux at 39 m reached 80% of the total flux at an upwind distance of 1,200 m under neutral

conditions, 900 m under typical daytime stability conditions, and 2,700 m under typical nighttime

stability conditions. The corresponding values for the 4-m height (above the understory) were 130, 80,

The minimumvalue found in the column.

The maximumvalue found in the column.

The value that indicates missing data. This is used to

indicate that an attempt was madeto determine the

parameter value, but the attempt was unsuccessful.

The value that indicates unreliable data. This is used

to indicate an attempt was madeto determine the

parameter value, but the value was deemedto be

unreliable by the analysis personnel.

The value that indicates parameter values below the

instruments detection limits. This is used to

indicate that an attempt was madeto determine the

parameter value, but the analysis personnel determined

that the parameter value was below the detection

limit of the instrumentation.

This value indicates that no attempt was madeto

determine the parameter value. This usually

indicates that BORIScombined several similar but

not identical data sets into the samedata base table

but this particular science team did not

measurethat parameter.

Indicates that blank spaces are used to denote that type of value.

Indicates that the value is not applicable to the respective column.

8. Data Organization

8.1 Data Granularity

The smallest unit of data tracked by the BOREAS Information System (BORIS) was data collected

at a given site on a given date.

8.2 Data Format

The Compact Disk-Read-Only Memory (CD-ROM) files contain American Standard Code for

Information Interchange (ASCII) numerical and character fields of varying length separated by

commas. The character fields are enclosed with single apostrophe marks. There are no spaces between

the fields.

Each data file on the CD-ROM has four header lines of Hyper-Text Markup Language (HTML)

code at the top. When viewed with a Web browser, this code displays header information (data set

title, location, date, acknowledgments, etc.) and a series of HTML links to associated data files and

related data sets. Line 5 of each data file is a list of the column names, and line 6 and following lines

contain the actual data.

9. Data Manipulations

9.1 Formulae

9.1.1 Derivation Techniques and Algorithms

There are many equations and formulae used in the calculations of fluxes from the raw voltage

signals. Readers are referred to the relevant references for details.

9.2 Data Processing Sequence

Page 37
9.2.1 Processing Steps

Averages, variances, and covariances are calculated in real time, and coordinate rotation is applied

on the half-hourly covariances and variances. Vapor pressure was calculated from dewpoint

temperature using equations from Buck (1981).

BORIS staff processed these data by:

• Reviewing the initial data files and loading them online for BOREAS team access.

• Designing relational data base tables to inventory and store the data.

• Loading the data into the relational data base tables.

• Working with the team to document the data set.

• Extracting the data into logical files.

9.2.2 Processing Changes

Above-canopy dewpoint temperature was measured with the dewpoint hygrometer, except for the

period 01-Jan to 01-Feb, when it was calculated from relative humidity and air temperature.

9.3 Calculations

9.3.1 Special Corrections/Adjustments

Sensible heat flux was derived from temperature from the sonic anemometer corrected for wind

and humidity effects. Latent heat and water vapor fluxes were determined from the closed-path sensor

with no density corrections applied. The CO2 flux from the closed-path sensor included corrections for

water vapor flux. The standard deviation of wind direction from the sonic anemometers was computed

using the Yamartino algorithm. The virtual heat flux was calculated from the virtual temperature as

measured by the sonic anemometer, and corrected for wind effects. The standard deviation of air

temperature and virtual temperature from the sonic anemometer was corrected for wind and humidity

effects.

The storage fluxes for latent heat and CO2 were calculated from differences of water vapor profiles

and CO2 profiles, respectively, for the runs before and after the current run. The storage fluxes could

be added to the latent heat flux or CO2 flux. However, this assumes no horizontal advection below the

measurement height. The validity of this assumption is difficult to evaluate, and obvious problems

occur after frontal passages.

9.3.2 Calculated Variables

The above-canopy absolute humidity was calculated from air temperature and dewpoint

temperature. Air density was computed from air temperature for air pressure = 94.5 kPa. The stability

index was calculated using virtual temperature from the sonic anemometer.

9.4 Graphs and Plots

None.

10.1 Sources of Error

None given.

10.2 Quality Assessment

10. Errors

Page 38
10.2.1 Data Validation by Source

Outliers were removed from the data.

The two net radiometers were intercompared. The comparison yielded NET_RAD_ABV_CNPY_2

-- 1.11 I*NET_RAD_ABV_CNPY_I for net radiation values greater than 0 and

NET_RAD_ABV_CNPY_2 = 1.224*NET_RAD_ABV_CNPY_1 net radiation values less than 0. Net

radiometer calibration was checked by TF-01 group against a precision pyranometer by shading on

11-Apr-1994 at 17:30 to 18:30 GMT; change in NET_RAD_ABV_CNPY_2 was 3.1% greater than

for the standard.

10.2.2 Confidence Level/Accuracy Judgment

None given.

10.2.3 Measurement Error for Parameters

None given.

10.2.4 Additional Quality Assessments

The Belfort rain gauge tended to lag in registering precipitation events, and occasionally produced

spurious readings. The standard rain gauge was probably the most reliable of the precipitation

measurements.

10.2.5 Data Verification by Data Center

Data were examined to check for spikes, values that are four standard deviations from the mean,

long periods of constant values, and missing data.

11.1 Limitations of the Data

None given.

11.2 Known Problems with the Data

None given.

11.3 Usage Guidance

None given.

11.4 Other Relevant Information

None.

1 1. Notes

13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)

The BOREAS TF-2 team collected energy, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and momentum flux data

above the canopy and in profiles through the canopy, along with meteorological data at the BOREAS

SSA-OA site. Above-canopy measurements began in early February and ran through mid-September

of 1994. Measurements were collected over a longer period of 1994 than most BOREAS flux sites.

Daily precipitation data from several gauges were also collected. The data are available in tabular

ASCII files.
