AusEFlux: Empirical upscaling of terrestrial carbon and water fluxes over Australia using the OzFlux eddy covariance network

AusEFlux (Australian Empirical Fluxes) is a high resolution (1 km) operational gridded estimate of Gross Primary Productivity, Ecosystem Respiration, Net Ecosystem Exchange, and Evapo-transpiration over the Australian continent for the period January 2003 to present. This new estimate of Australia’s terrestrial carbon cycle provides a benchmark for assessment against Land Surface Model simulations, and a means for monitoring of Australia’s terrestrial carbon cycle at an unprecedented high-resolution.

The datasets are free and openly available through the NCI's high-performance THREDDS data service: https://thredds.nci.org.au/thredds/catalog/ub8/au/AusEFlux/catalog.html

• The notebooks/ folder contains all the methods and instructions for running the workflow.
• The src/ foder contains the python scripts for supporting the workflows.

The methods in this repository develop an operational workflow for production of AusEFlux. This repository differs from the NEE_modelling repo which describes the research methods that inform the EGU Biogeosciences publication.
