“An initiative to upscale biosphere-atmosphere fluxes from FLUXNET sites to continental and global scales”

Several experts joined hands for the collaborative FLUXCOM initiative. We use upscaling approaches based on machine learning methods that integrate FLUXNET site level observations, satellite remote sensing, and meteorological data. Our data products have promising values for assessing biosphere-atmosphere fluxes over large regions, and for evaluating process-based land models.

Aims

• Creating an ensemble of data products for global carbon and energy over land
• Understanding and characterizing uncertainties in the fluxes

A general overview of the FLUXCOM initiative.

Recent News

• A paper synthesizing and evaluating the FLUXCOM carbon fluxes (and the public availability of the data) is now published in Biogeosciences.

• A paper summarizing the FLUXCOM energy fluxes (and the public availability of the data) is now published in Scientific Data.

• A preprint of the FLUXCOM energy fluxes is now available in arXiv.

• Based on a recent study, FLUXCOM GPP sees the imprints of relationships between vegetation and groundwater.

• A study based on FLUXCOM data highlights the compensatory effect of water and temperature on global carbon sink (Jung et al., 2017).

• The cross-validation paper by Tramontana et al. has been published (2016/07).
