About AmeriFlux

AmeriFlux is a network and data archive for ecosystem measurements of carbon, water and energy flux across the Americas. Researchers at AmeriFlux sites use the eddy covariance method to measure fluxes; the site accepts their datasets, applies quality control and processing, and archives them. The archived data are offered free to researchers worldwide.

Archiving, quality control and processing services are available to any researcher with flux sites in the Americas, provided the researcher commits to the AmeriFlux data policy, which emphasizes open data sharing. AmeriFlux also provides tools for site researchers and modelers, holds an annual meeting open to the global community, and offers a free data workshop each spring in Berkeley, California. The AmeriFlux Management Project administers the website on behalf of the AmeriFlux Network.
