Added download link for the PI dataset CH-OE2 FP2017 (2004-2016) on Available Flux Products. This dataset was used in the publication by Emmel et al. (2018) and can be downloaded via the ETH Research Collection. Emmel, Carmen, Annina Winkler, Lukas Hörtnagl, Andrew Revill, Christof Ammann, Petra D’Odorico, Nina Buchmann, and Werner . . . Read more
Added info about the used logging script to pages giving info about the eddy covariance raw data files(e.g., here for CH-FRU). The logging script sonicread (PDF) was used at all sites since 2004. In recent years (starting in 2023 with the site CH-FRU), we started to migrate EC raw data . . . Read more
The grassland CH-AWS is now recording eddy covariance raw data files using the new, Python-based logging script rECord. rECord is the successor to our logging script sonicread (PDF) and will be implemented at all Swiss FluxNet sites. Currently, rECord is running at three sites: CH-AWS, CH-CHA and CH-FRU.
The grassland CH-CHA is now recording eddy covariance raw data files using the new, Python-based logging script rECord. rECord is the successor to our logging script sonicread (PDF) and will be implemented at all Swiss FluxNet sites. Currently, rECord is running at twi sites: CH-CHA and CH-FRU.
Results from soil measurements at site CH-OE2, Oensingen in 2020 are now available. Soil info @ CH-OE2 site description
Results from LAI measurements (2004-2020) at site CH-OE2, Oensingen are now available for download. LAI info @ CH-OE2 site description Direct link to file: CH-OE2_LAI_2004-2020.xlsx
An updated version of the detailed management info for CH-CHA is now available for download here.
First data files using the new, Python-based logging script rECord were recorded at the grassland CH-FRU. rECord is the successor to our logging script sonicread (PDF) and will be implemented at all Swiss FluxNet sites.
An updated version of the PI dataset for Davos is now available: CH-DAV FP2022 (1997-2022.09)
Additional information has been added to the description of the PI dataset CH-DAV FP2021 (1997-2020). Relevant older news: CH-DAV: Updated PI dataset

In case you ever wondered how our raw data files look like and what is needed before we can use them in EddyPro for flux calculations (and what does “compressed” vs “uncompressed” mean), here is a new Article for you: Eddy Covariance Raw Data Binary Files
Fluxes are calculated automatically every day. Here is a new article with more details: Automatic Fluxes
In case you ever wanted to know more about how calculations are automated, you can find a new article here: Automation Schedule
The VPC (virtual PC) now runs with 8 virtual processors (Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 @2.2GHz) and 32GB RAM. This will be helpful in running automatic fux calculations, QuickView plot generation and data conversions in parallel. For more info about the VPC, please see here.
The north off-set of the sonic anemometer (the direction in which the sonic anemometer north arrow points) in CH-DAV is 270.28°. It was determined via this map: Source: geo.admin.ch
