15. Old format – limited 

17. Components

18. “Old Format”

19. CZO Metadata

21. TARGET PLOTTING FORMAT – depends on availability
Unit Labels -
may have
scaling factor
Met/Atmo
variables
Graph Key
@ mean value
Energy Flux
variables
30 min data,
daily avg. plotted
cyan – weekly
running avg.
Carbon Flux
variables

22. NON-STANDARD EXAMPLE Met/Atmo variables Energy Flux variables –
missing LE and H
Carbon Flux
variables – missing
so other stuff

23. CZO Flux Towers – main points
Different periods of record
2011 most overlap
Differing status
L1/private, L2/conditional, L3/gap filled
Different parameters and format
particularly date and missing data formats
challenging to read using Matlab
