Title: Eddy Flux and Meteorology over Deciduous Forest, Prairie, and Soybean Ecosystems in Missouri, USA, during the Total Solar Eclipse of 2017

Abstract

Eddy fluxes and meteorology data are reported at high temporal resolution for three flux tower sites in Mid-Missouri before, during, and after the Total Solar Eclipse of August 21, 2017. Mid-Missouri experienced up to 2 minutes and 40 seconds of totality at around solar noon during the eclipse (Fig. 1). The sites are located in deciduous oak-hickory forest, native prairie, and soybean ecosystems (Table 1 and Fig. 3). Eddy fluxes were computed using a wavelet-based approach that permitted the calculation of two-minute mean fluxes without losing low frequency flux contributions (Fig. 2). During the eclipse, standard meteorological variables were sampled and recorded at 5 second intervals. The two-minute means of fluxes and meteorology are reported. This data product includes three data files in NetCDF (*.nc) format, three data dictionary files and a file-level metadata file in comma separate (*.csv) format, and a user guide in PDF (*.pdf) format.
