This release consists of flux tower measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer using eddy covariance techniques. Data were processed using PyFluxPro (v3.4.21) as described by Isaac et al. (2017) for the quality control and post-processing steps. The final, gap-filled product containing Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER) has been produced using the ONEFlux software as described in Pastorello et al (2020). This data set has been produced as part of the FLUXNET Shuttle project.

The Litchfield flux station is located within Litchfield National Park in the Northern Territory. It was established in 2015 and is managed by Charles Darwin University and The University of Western Australia. The station is a research and monitoring site representative of high rainfall, frequently burnt tropical savanna. The site is a 5 km x 5 km block of relatively uniform open-forest savanna inside the park about 80 km south of Darwin. Measurements of carbon sequestration and remote sensing properties of vegetation through time are being achieved via a 40 m guyed tower equipped with instrumentation capable of directly measuring CO2, water use and surface energy properties (energy balance, reflectance). The Litchfield flux station is located within Litchfield National Park in the Northern Territory.
