Eddy Covariance Data from Office of Naval Research Biofuel project on Maui
These data come from three eddy covariance (EC) towers that were installed as part of a project to assess the productivity of sugarcane agricultural systems for biofuel production. These towers were operated from 2011-2013 in Maui, USA. Major observational parameters include net carbon exchange, evapotranspiration, and energy fluxes.
Resources in this dataset:
Resource Title: Link to data for EC tower site Sugarcane Sheltered/Lee.
File Name: SuS.zip
Resource Description:
Continuous, irrigated, sugarcane cultivation for >100 years. Practice is to grow plant sugarcane for 2 years, drydown, burn leaves, harvest cane, and then till and replant very shortly after harvest. First cycle of observations were from July 2011 to November 2012. Second cycle was from April 2013 to December 2013. Site differs from Sugarcane Windy and Sugarcane Middle in soil type and meteorology.Find the site data and information at https://ameriflux.lbl.gov/sites/siteinfo/US-SuS
