Yujie’s paper, “A tale of two towers: comparing NEON and AmeriFlux data streams at Bartlett Experimental Forest,” has just been published in Agricultural and Forest Meteorology. The two towers are separated by less than 100 m, but although meteorology and phenology data show good agreement between AmeriFlux and NEON, and although the agreement is reasonably between measured fluxes of carbon dioxide, latent heat, and sensible heat at the half hourly time scale, Yujie’s analysis shows that the carbon dioxide and latent heat fluxes are in poor agreement at the annual scale. For example, annual C balance differs by over 120 g C m-2<\/sup> y-1<\/sup> between the two towers, and patterns of inter annual variability are not at all in agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This paper raises important questions about the representativeness of any one tower in relation to the broader landscape it assumed to represent, and also suggests that we are probably (still) under-estimating uncertainty in annual C budgets derived from eddy covariance measurements, and sometimes we may be reading too much into the interannual variability we measure at individual sites.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great job by Yujie and collaborators, including Paul Stoy, Housen Chu, Dave Hollinger, Scott Ollinger, Andy Ouimette, Dave Durden, Cove Sturtevant, and Ben Lucas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
