TERN OzFlux Tumbarumba Tower Site

The Tumbarumba flux station is located in the Bago State Forest in south eastern New South Wales. It was established in 2000 and is managed by CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research.The forest is classified as wet sclerophyll, the dominant species is Eucalyptus delegatensis, and average tree height is 40m. Elevation of the site is 1200m and mean annual precipitation is 1000mm. The Bago and Maragle State Forests are adjacent to the south west slopes of southern New South Wales and the 48,400 ha of native forest have been managed for wood production for over 100 years.The instrument mast is 70m tall. Fluxes of heat, water vapour and carbon dioxide are measured using the open-path eddy flux technique. Supplementary measurements above the canopy include temperature, humidity, windspeed, wind direction, rainfall, incoming and reflected shortwave radiation and net radiation. Profiles of temperature, humidity and CO2 are measured at seven levels within the canopy. Soil moisture content is measured using Time Domain reflectometry, while soil heat fluxes and temperature are also measured. Hyperspectral radiometric measurements are being used to determine canopy leaf-level properties.The Tumbarumba flux station is supported by TERN and the DCCEE through the ACCSP.

Purpose
The purpose of the Tumbarumba flux station is: to study the ecophysiological processes and rates of C accumulation of a commercially important, high-productivity forest to measure the exchanges of carbon dioxide, water vapour and energy between the forest and the atmosphere using micrometeorological techniques to develop new data analysis and interpretation methods for micrometeorology in complex terrain. This work will contribute significantly to the discipline of micrometeorology since much of the world's forests are located in complex terrain, where classical techniques may not be suitable to utilize the ecophysiological and micrometeorological measurements to test models of plant and canopy function, such as the acclimation of photosynthetic capacity to temperature variations with season and the response of stomata to drought to utilize the measurements to test land surface models such as the Community Atmosphere Biosphere Land Exchange model CABLE to utilize the measurements in combination with remote sensing data and land surface models to upscale estimate the net exchanges of carbon and water at regional scale.
