A dataset of carbon and water fluxes of Heihe desert station from 2015 to 2024

The dataset includes flux observation data from the Heihe desert station covering the years 2015-2024. The raw observation data were collected at the eddy covariance flux tower with a desert underlying surface in the station. The station is located in the downstream of the Heihe River Basin, and is in Ejina Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The elevation is 1054 m. We processed the raw observation data based on the ChinaFLUX data processing system to produce this standardized dataset of ecosystem carbon and water fluxes and key meteorological elements. In the dataset, the data for each year consists of 8 Excel data files, divided into two categories: LITE, which includes major fluxes and meteorological variables, and ALL, which adds data quality and interpolation indicators on the basis of LITE. Each category has four data files, including data files at four scales: half-hour (HH), day (DD), month (MM), and year (YY).
