1. Data Set Overview

1.1 Data Set Identification

BOREAS TF-04 SSA-YJP Tower Flux, Meteorological, and Canopy Condition Data

1.2 Data Set Introduction

Measurements of CO2 and latent and sensible heat flux were made both above and 
within the BOReal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) Southern Study Area (SSA) 
Young Jack Pine (YJP) canopy during a growing season.  Combined with soil gas 
effluxes of CO2 and CH4, the data were used to determine daily and seasonal 
patterns in carbon fluxes, evapotranspiration, and environmental controls 
regulating the partitioning of available energy and net ecosystem productivity 
(NEP).  Comparisons were made between young and mature jack pine stands in 
proximity to one another in terms of NEP and water use. 

1.3 Objective/Purpose

The objectives of this study were to investigate carbon, water, and energy 
fluxes in boreal forests through an integrated approach involving flux estimates 
across the atmosphere-forest and soil-atmosphere boundaries.  Eddy correlation 
measurements of CO2, latent and sensible heat fluxes, and momentum were made 
above the SSA-YJP stand.  Concentration profiles of CH4, 12CO2, and 13CO2 were 
determined within the canopy during one Intensive Field Campaign (IFC).  Soil-
atmosphere flux studies employed soil depth vs. gas concentration measurements, 
flux chambers, and diffusion modeling to determine source and movement of CH4, 
12CO2, and 13CO2 in the air-soil-water continuum.  The distribution and storage 
of carbon species in the soil profile were also determined.  Long-term carbon 
accumulation was evaluated by 14C decay of soil carbon.  Net, incoming, and 
Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR); leaf photosynthesis; and certain soil 
parameters (heat flux, thermal profile) were also measured at the site. 

1.4 Summary of Parameters and Variables

Types of Data Collected:
Above-canopy fluxes: CO2, latent heat, sensible heat
Forest floor fluxes: CO2, sensible heat, latent heat

3. Theory of Measurements

The sonic anemometer/thermometer is designed to measure wind velocity components 
by transmitting and receiving sonic signals along fixed orthogonal directions.  
The microcomputer electronics then processes this information and calculates the 
wind speed in three axes.  Since there are no moving parts to come into dynamic 
equilibrium with the air flow, the sonic anemometer/thermometer responds rapidly 
to wind velocity fluctuations.  It responds linearly to wind velocity and is 
free from contamination from pressure, temperature, and relative humidity.  The 
calibration of the sensor is established by its design parameters and therefore 
can be used as an absolute instrument.  The probe array is designed to minimize 
flow distortion created by the supporting base and to permit a very wide 
unobstructed coverage of the vertical component.

4. Equipment

4.1 Sensor/Instrument Description

4.1.1 Collection Environment

Measurements were collected from mid-May through mid-September 1994 in an 11- to 
16-year-old jack pine stand.  Over that time period, temperature conditions went 
from slightly below freezing up to 29 �C.

4.1.2 Source/Platform

Instruments were mounted on a 12-m-tall Rohn tower.

4.1.3 Source/Platform Mission Objectives

The purpose of the tower was to suspend instruments to measure trace gas, energy 
fluxes, and meteorological variables above a young jack pine stand.

4.1.4 Key Variables

Sensible and latent heat fluxes were measured both above and below the tree 
canopies.  CO2 flux and concentration were measured above the canopy.  
Measurements of radiation included net radiation, PAR, and shortwave radiation.  
Meteorological measurements included wind speed and direction, friction 
velocity, air temperature, vapor pressure, air pressure, and rainfall.  Under 
the canopy, data on air temperature, vapor pressure, and wind speed were 
collected.  Bole temperature and leaf wetness data were collected.  Within the 
canopy, air temperature, vapor pressure, and air pressure were measured.

4.1.5 Principles of Operation

Heat, water, and CO2 fluxes were measured using eddy correlation techniques.  
Meteorological measurements were collected using standard instruments and 
methods.

4.1.6 Sensor/Instrument Measurement Geometry

The placement of instruments on the tower was at the following heights above the 
ground:
? Solar Radiation, LI-COR LI200S, at 12.9 m.
? PAR sensor, LI-COR LI190SZ, at 12.9 m.
? Air temperature and vapor pressure, Campbell Scientific, Inc., HMP35C, at 
1.1, 9.1, and 12.2 m.  Used an unaspirated, white plastic 12-plate Gill 
radiation shield, Campbell Scientific, Inc., model 41002.
? Wind speed and direction, R.M. Young 03001-5, at 1.1, 10.0, and 11.0 m.
? Net Radiation at 9.1 m
? Sonic anemometer, both Applied Technologies, Inc. (ATI), and Campbell, at 1.1 
and 9.1 m.
? LI-COR CO2 sensor at 9.1 m.
? National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)/Atmospheric Technology 
Division (ATD) CO2 sensor at 1.1 m.

Bole temperatures were measured in two trees.  In each tree, thermocouples were 
inserted into the north, east, south, and west sides of the bole, to 
approximately one half the radius of the trunk, at four heights.  The first tree 
was 4.6 m tall; about average for the canopy.  For that tree, the four heights 
were 0.58 m, 1.73 m, 2.79 m, and 3.68 m; the corresponding trunk diameters at 
those heights were 5.7 cm, 5.1 cm, 3.8 cm, and 2.9 cm. The second tree was about 
3.6 m tall.  The four heights were 0.46 m, 1.35 m, 2.24 m, and 2.74 m; the 
corresponding diameters were 3.3 cm, 2.9 cm, 2.2 cm, and 1.1 cm.

Within-canopy air temperature and vapor pressure were measured with the Campbell 
Scientific, Inc., HMP35C, at 1.2 m above ground level.  An unaspirated, white 
plastic 12-plate Gill radiation shield (Campbell Scientific, Inc. model 41002) 
was also used.  Within-canopy atmospheric pressure was measured using the Setra 
270, at 1.7 m 

Leaf wetness sensors (Campbell Scientific, Inc., 237) were placed at heights of 
1.6 m and 1.4 m.  The first leaf wetness sensor was deployed in a small opening 
in the trees, sloping about 40� to the northeast.  The second sensor was placed 
about 10 cm from a tree trunk, sloping about 40� to the west.    

Rainfall was measured using a tipping bucket rain gauge (Weathertronics 6010) in 
a clearing approximately 10 m in diameter at 0.6 m height.  The 45�-angle cone 
above the rain gauge may have been slightly encroached upon by treetops as the 
average tree height was about 4.6 m.

5. Data Acquisition Methods

The tower meteorological data were collected using a Campbell 21X data logger.  
All sensors except the rain gauge were located on the flux tower.  Sensors were 
scanned every 5 s, and half-hour averages were recorded.  Vapor pressure was 
calculated as the product of saturated vapor pressure at air temperature and 
relative humidity (100% = 1).  Saturated vapor pressure was calculated using the 
Lowe (1977) equation.  The tipping bucket rain gauge (one tip = 0.25 mm of rain) 
was deployed in a clearing approximately 10 m in diameter.  The 45� cone above 
the rain gauge may have been slightly encroached upon by treetops. 

The canopy meteorological data were collected using a Campbell 21X data logger.  
Sensors were scanned every 60 s, and half-hour averages were recorded.  Vapor 
pressure was calculated as described above.  The reported air pressure was 
atmospheric (i.e., not corrected to sea level) rather than barometric pressure.  
Air pressure was recorded to the nearest mb until day of year 215 at 2000 
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), and to the nearest hundredth of a mb thereafter.  The 
leaf wetness sensors were artificial leaf electrical resistance types, with 
interlacing gold plated copper fingers.  Water droplets that bridge between 
fingers lower the resistance.  These sensors were not painted or coated.  The 
manufacturer suggests that the transition from "wet" to "dry" for an uncoated 
sensor occurs between 50 and 200 kohms.  The first leaf wetness sensor was 
deployed in a small opening in the trees, sloping about 40� to the northeast.  
The second leaf wetness sensor was deployed about 10 cm from a tree trunk, 
sloping about 40� to the west.

Tree bole temperatures were collected using a Campbell 21X data logger.  Copper-
constantan thermocouples were glued into tree boles to make all of these 
temperature measurements.  A Campbell AM416 multiplexer was used to route the 
thermocouples to the logger.  An extra thermocouple reference junction was glued 
to the AM416 surface, and the AM416 was enclosed in a Campbell AM-ENCT 
insulating enclosure to minimize temperature gradients in the AM416.  Sensors 
were scanned every 5 s  during the last minute of each half-hour, and averages 
of the 13 readings were recorded.

Two trees were chosen to instrument.  The first was 4.6 m tall about average for 
the canopy.  Thermocouples were inserted into the north, east, south, and west 
sides, to approximately one half the radius of the trunk, at four heights.  The 
four heights were 0.58 m, 1.73 m, 2.79 m, and 3.68 m; the corresponding trunk 
diameters at those heights were 5.7 cm, 5.1 cm, 3.8 cm, and 2.9 cm.  The second 
tree was about 3.6 m tall.  The four heights were 0.46 m, 1.35 m, 2.24 m, and 
2.74 m; the corresponding diameters were 3.3 cm, 2.9 cm, 2.2 cm, and 1.1 cm.  In 
the reported data set, the 16 temperatures from each tree were averaged together 
for each half-hour, and the mean temperature was reported.

6. Observations

6.1 Data Notes

Measurements began during IFC-1 and ended a day after IFC-3.  Equipment operated 
almost continuously.  Notable was the lack of CO2 data following a lightning 
strike and a malfunction of the CO2 sensor 16-Jun to 20-Jun and 10-Jul to 19-
Jul-1994.  CO2 profile instruments were not operational until IFC-2.  Forest 
floor sensible and latent heat flux record had numerous lapses due to equipment 
problems.  Considering all measurements, IFC-3 had the most complete record. 

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-YJP site.  North American Datum of 
1983 (NAD83) coordinates for the site are latitude 53.87581� N, longitude 
104.64529� W, and elevation of 533.54 m.

7.1.2 Spatial Coverage Map

Not applicable.

7.1.3 Spatial Resolution

Data collected from flux towers are often thought of as point data.  However, 
particularly in terms of the eddy flux data, they actually represent an 
integrated upwind source region.  The size of the region being sampled is 
related to factors such as the height of the tower, the roughness of the canopy, 
and the wind speed.  An estimate of the upwind distance for the YJP site is 20 
to 400 m upwind.
