EKugahara tower experiments
We provide datasets from Kugahara experiments.
- Diurnal couses of energy balance and CO2 flux in sunny days
(Monthly Ensemble average dataset)[Summary] The datasets include hourly value of upward and downward shortwave and longwave radiation, sensible heat flux, latent heat flux, CO2 flux, wind speed, air temperature, and specific humidity. The measurements were made from May 2001 to April 2002 in a low-storied residential area in Kugahara, Tokyo, Japan (358349N, 1398419E). The instruments were attached to a 29-m tower installed in a backyard of one of the homes.
We listed data only from fair-weather days, that is, days with a percentage of sunshine exceeding 80%.
Each page contains the datasets for a given month.
See the following reference for further details.

- Profiles of shear stress, wind spead, kinematic heat flux (for stable ,neutral,
and unstable cases)
[Summary] The datasets include the profiles of shear stress, wind speed, kinematic heat flux. The measurements were made from September 2002 to March 2003. The datasets are classified into three stability classes.

- Full datasets for sunny days
[Summary] The full datasets include hourly value of upward and downward shortwave and longwave radiation, sensible heat flux, latent heat flux, wind speed, air temperature, and specific humidity at the top of the tower, the profiles of turbulent statitstics at 4 heights, and the profiles of air temperature and humidity at 11heights for sunny days in summer and winter in 2005.
