Fowling Point Marsh Flux Tower Data, 2014-2017

A flux tower was operated on Fowling Point Marsh near Nassawadox, VA from 2014-2017. The flux tower is located about 2 km from the mainland and about 85 m away from a major creek edge. The marsh soil is tidally inundated on a semi-diurnal cycle, with extreme levels of inundation reaching 1.0 m above the mean marsh surface. Continuous meteorological and eddy covariance measurements were made on a 7-m flux tower located in the salt marsh. An eddy covariance unit was mounted at 3.7 m above the sediment surface. Data for BioMet sensors are provided as a table. BioMET data consists of 1min averaged meteorological data. Proprietary LiCOR .ghg files at 20Hz are included in Tape ARchive (TAR) files. Individual GHG files can be renamed as .zip files and uncompressed to reveal an internal metadata file and the data itself. A PDF file identifies the instrumentation and the wiring used to connect them.
