Dear CarboeuropeIP PI, your file IT-TolMET05_01_10811200513240.xls has been recived and readed. As you know we perform some simple checks to find possible errors in the data. Attached you can find the remark file created. Take into account that it is possible that not all the problem reported in the remark are really due to not correct data. However, your data are ready to be imported in the database. To do this please visit to the page: http://gaia.agraria.unitus.it/database/prexvars.asp where you can decide which variables to import or discard and send again.

• In the next weeks the Greengrass database will be incorporated in the Carboeurope IP database and processed.
• We asked also the data from Carbomont without answer
• We are waiting the data from the Siberian projects (from Eurasia-net to TCOS)
• We will try also to obtain data from the Amazonian project from EU
• Any other dataset is welcome
We invite also the PIs to send their data and in particular the 2003 missed months!!!

Questions/discussion about the status?
Gapfilling intercomparison results
From the Gapfilling WS: Do we need more variables?
Flag indicating if there are footprint problems (particularly for crop)
Flags indicating the management
LAI or NDVI or Vegetation height (crop and grass)
NOTE!It is not a good solution to
put simply qcFc = 2 because the qcFc are defined from
Spoleto!
The database role in standardization
1) Storage correction whit Sc provided by the PI (NEE_or) and calculated from the CO2 concentration top of tower (NEE_st)
2) Ustar threshold calculated centrally
3) Spike filtering performed centrally
4) Gapfilling performed centrally using the two best methods from the gapfilling intercomparison
5) Partitioning in GPP and TER performed centrally
BUT
What about “standard quality flags obtained from the raw data”?
What about the corrections/checks applied to the raw data?
What about the corrections implemented in your software?
Unfortunately not all the PIs are sending the correct quality flags. Many sites have all the data with qc=0, or with all qc=2.
There are sites that are not applying the qc correctly and mix-up with ustar filtering or footprint
How many of you provided these info correctly to the database?
Are these information important?
Setting Comparison BA – 3D – ConstTLag
LD – 3D – AutTLag

Generally this has a small effect to the sums
However can have effect on the single half hour
How to solve this problem? How to avoid these differences?
Using the same software with exactly the same settings
BUTWe compared different software and they give very similar results with the same settings
Using the exactly the same settings
BUTCan we define a “right” set of corrections and settings? What about the uniqueness of the sites?
Use what you want but tell me what you did…
BUTHow can you send these information to the database? How many of you sent the information about the 2D 3D or PF correction applied?How many of you are sending the updated versions of the GEN file?
The best would be to have a common software where:
- The user could decide which correction to apply
- There would be implemented all the possible corrections
- The user could also propose and add new options/corrections
- All the settings used would be summarized in a table as metadata
- The output would be directly formatted to be uploaded in the DB
But to work, this software should be:
- As flexible as possible
- Available for all the HW/OS platforms
- Continuously updated
- User friendly for not expert users
And in particular:
- FREE- OPEN SOURCE- COMMON PROPERTY (CarboeuropeIP, Fluxnet)
Are you interested in developing a common “community owned eddy covariance software”?
We started developing the structure of such a software and now it is ready for your input…

FLUXNET Synthesis Workshop 2007
The workshop has been designed as a real hands-on data synthesis workshop
It will be restrict to 30-50 people coming from the different regional networks
Particularly scientists most interested in synthesis activities should participate
This does not preclude valuable post-workshop intellectual input from non-participating scientists for the scientific papers and co-authorship
The harmonized global dataset will be available to all the community for other synthesis works particularly for the many topics that will be not discussed at the WS
Dataset will be pre-processed in an harmonized way before the WS
19-22 February 2007 – La Thuille - Italy
FLUXNET Synthesis Workshop 2007
19-22 February 2007 – La Thuille - Italy
Carboeurope-IP Ecosystem Component will participate to the synthesis
All the datasets submitted to the CarboeuropeIP database will be included (only if with good quality) and the PIs will be part of the activity. If you don’t want that your data will be used in this activity please send us a note.
Carboeurope will have 7-8 participants to the WS and we have to provide a list of about 12-15 names with topic of interest to the Organising Committee before November 30th, with if possible a good balance between experienced and young PostDoc-level scientists
Based on the suggestions of all networks and in consultation with networks, the Organising Commitee will propose a final participant list before December 10th (in order to avoid gaps or overloaded topics).
