FLUXNET: From Sea to Shining Sea379 Sites, circa 2006
Global distribution of Flux Towers with Respect to Climate
Evolution of FLUXNET
• Measure Annual Cycle of NEE– Micromet issues of Detrending, Transfer Functions, Flux Sampling
and Measurements, Gap-filling, Error Assessment• Measure and Interpret Intra-annual Variation of NEE
– Flux partitioning (GPP & Reco); assessment of metadata,e.g. Vcmax, soil respiration, LAI, biomass inventories.
• Measure and Interpret Inter-annual variations of NEE• Measure NEE over multiple Land-Use Classes
– crops, grasslands, deciduous and evergreen broadleaf and conifer forests
– Disturbance, logging, biodiversity and fire• Manipulative Studies
– Nitrogen and H2O additions• Measure NEE over Representative Areas
– Scaling Flux Information of Footprint to MODIS pixel
Successes
• Mountains of data from a spectrum of canopy roughness conditions, functional types and climate spaces have been collected
• A Model for Data Sharing– FLUXNET Web Site, a venue for distributing Primary, Value-added and Meta-
Data products• Value-Added Products have been produced
– Development of Gap-Filling Techniques– Production of Gap-Filled Daily and Annual Sums
• Data for Validating and Improving SVAT models used for weather, climate, biogeochemistry and ecosystem dynamics
• Collaboration & Synthesis through Workshops and Hosting Visitors– Building a Collaborative, Cooperative, Multi-Disciplinary & International
Community of Researchers– Characterizing Annual C Fluxes– Environmental Controls on NEE
• Training New and Next Generation of Scientists, Postdocs, Students
‘Failures’/’Un-resolved’ Issues
• Not Measuring Night-time Fluxes Well• Not Measuring Fluxes over Complex terrain and during
Advection Well• ImPerfect U* correction
– New Gu Algorithm• ImPerfect Flux Partitioning
– Works Better on Longer Time Scales• ImPerfect Energy Balance Closure
– Could be ‘red-herring’ based on recent several talks at a SSSA workshop
• Need Better Outreach and Training
Visions with a Flux Measurement Network
• Processes– Canopy-Scale Response Functions
• Emergent Processes– Flux Partitioning, NEP=GPP-Reco
• Acclimation• Time
– Daily/Seasonal Dynamics– Pulses, Lags, Switches– Intra- + Interannual Variability– Stand Age/Disturbance
• Space– Climate/Structure/Function– Coherence/Gradients– Upscaling with Remote Sensing
• New Directions

Value of Flux Networks
• Produces Large and Long Data Sets– Reduced Sampling Error– Robust Dataset for Model Development
• Study Spectra of Time Scales– Capture Pulses and Lags
• Study Gradient of Climates, Structure and Function• Field of Dreams: ‘Build it and they will Come’
– Better Integrated Research Studies
Future Directions
• Administrative– ReOrganize FLUXNET with Multiple/International Funding Sources
• Scientific
– NEE in Urban and Suburban, Africa, India, Latin America and High Arctic Environments– Coupling CO2, Trace Gas Deposition/Emission (O3, voc) and Methane Fluxes– Adopting New Technology (TDL, wireless networks) to embellish flux measurements– Couple tower data with Real-time Data Assimilation Models.– Boundary Layer Budgets using Fluxes and High Precision CO2 measurements– Spectral reflectance measurements across the network– Spatial-Temporal Network-Scale Analysis– Real-time Data Assimilation– Matching Footprints of Tower and Pixels– Model Lags, Switches and Pulses– Using Fluxnet data to assess problems in
