BOREAS TGB-03 CH4 and CO2 Chamber Flux Data over NSA Upland Sites

Summary:

The BOREAS TGB-03 team collected methane and carbon dioxide (CH4, CO2) chamber flux measurements at the NSA Fen site, OBS, YJP, and auxiliary sites along Gillam Road and the 1989 burn site. Gas samples were extracted from chambers and analyzed at the NSA lab facility approximately every 7 days during May to September 1994 and June to October 1996.
