AmeriFlux site visit report and data for the Glacier Lakes Ecosystem Experiments Site (US-GLE)

This report and data summarize the AmeriFlux Tech team site visit to the Glacier Lakes Ecosystem Experiments Site (GLEES) in southeastern Wyoming. For this campaign, the AmeriFlux portable eddy covariance system (PECS) was deployed near the in situ GLEES micro-meteorological sensors. The resulting intercomparison of eddy covariance, radiation, and meteorological observations is used to inform key recommendations and improvements in the measurements. This package includes both the report and underlying data recorded by both the AmeriFlux PECS and the GLEES in situ instrumentation during the 14 day period in September 2016.
The AmeriFlux network of eddy covariance ecosystem flux sites was established to foster collaboration between different research groups with long term monitoring of the ecosystem exchange of water vapor, carbon dioxide, and energy between the land surface and the atmosphere. A service of the AmeriFlux Tech team is to perform periodic site visits across the network where the PECS is deployed and used as a baseline for comparing the accuracy between the various sites. The USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station managed GLEES site (US-GLE) has been active from 2004-present, with this being its third visit by the network.
