Silver Plains Flux Data Collection
This dataset consists of measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer at Silver Plains Station in Tasmania using eddy covariance techniques.</br>
Silver Plains Flux Station was established in 2019 in Interlaken, on the Tasmanian Central Plateau, on land owned and managed by the Tasmanian Land Conservancy.

- Purpose
- <p>The purpose of the Silver Plains flux tower is to:<p> <ul style="list-style-type: disc;"> <li>Monitor exchanges of carbon dioxide, water vapour and energy in a high-altitude grassy peatland ecosystem on the Tasmanian Central Plateau</li> <li>Quantify the carbon balance of the ecosystem, along with the key components of net ecosystem exchange, gross primary productivity and ecosystem respiration</li> <li>Identify key environmental and climatic drivers of carbon, water and energy fluxes</li> <li>Complement manual chamber measurements of net ecosystem CO2 exchange in an adjacent climate change experiment</li> <li>Utilize measurements alongside manual chamber measurements and ancillary environmental variables to model ecosystem carbon dynamics under a future climate</li> <li>utilise the measurements for parameterising forage and grazing models</li> <li>utilise the measurements for parameterising and validating remote sensing measurements over semi-arid savanna ecosystems</li> <li>utilise the measurements for parameterising and validating the Earth System models to better understand the effects of climate change</li></ul>

Data quality info
- Hierarchy level
- Dataset
- Other
- If the data quality is poor, the data is filled from alternative sources. Filled data can be identified by the Quality Controls flags in the dataset. Quality control checks include (i) range checks for plausible limits, (ii) spike detection, (iii) dependency on other variables and (iv) manual rejection of date ranges. Specific checks applied to the sonic and IRGA data include rejection of points based on the sonic and IRGA diagnostic values and on either automatic gain control (AGC) or CO2 and H2O signal strength, depending upon the configuration of the IRGA. For more details, refer to Isaac et al (2017) in the Publications section, https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-14-2903-2017. <br> For further information about the software (PyFluxPro) used to process and quality control the flux data, see https://github.com/OzFlux/PyFluxPro/wiki.
Resource lineage
- Statement
- All flux raw data is subject to the quality control process OzFlux QA/QC to generate data from L1 to L6. Levels 3 to 6 are available for re-use. Datasets contain Quality Controls flags which will indicate when data quality is poor and has been filled from alternative sources. For more details, refer to Isaac et al. (2017) in the Publications section, https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-14-2903-2017 .
