Summary:

The BOREAS TF-01 team collected energy, carbon dioxide, and momentum flux data above the canopy along with meteorological and soils data at the BOREAS SSA-OA site from mid-April to the end of the year for 1996.

A guide document which includes more information about this data set can be found at https://daac.ornl.gov/daacdata/boreas/TF/tf01tflx/comp/TF01_Tower_Flux.txt.

ORNL DAAC maintains information on the entire BOREAS Project.
