Temporal variation of vertical turbulent fluxes of energy, water and carbon dioxide in the urban area of Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, México
Description
This dataset contains vertical fluxes of carbon dioxide, latent heat, sensible heat and water fluxes between an urban environment and the atmosphere. Energy, water and carbon fluxes, anemometrical and footprint data were measured using the Eddy-covariance Technique (EC). The monitoring site was deployed at the roof of a 6-story 22-meters height building located in the central campus of the Sonora Institute of Technology, the highest university building located in Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, México. The study period encompasses most of the monsoon season of the year 2016 (from March to August). The goal of this dataset is to provide information about turbulent and energy fluxes in urban environments under arid-semiarid climate with monsoonal regime.

Steps to reproduce
An Eddy-covariance system, which consist of a 3D sonic anemometer (Gill WindMaster Pro) and an infrared gas analyzer (Licor LI-7500) is required to measure and estimate the temporal variation of water, energy and carbon fluxes. Raw data must be processed in order to transform high-frequency covariance data into 30-minute fluxes. The software employed for this task was EddyPro 7.0.9.
