A Next Generation AmeriFlux Network Data Server
Deb Agarwal, Catharine van Ingen, and Susan Holladay
Berkeley Water Center and ORNL
Enabling cross-site carbon-climate synthesis depends on:
•
Data and site ancillary data submitted to network archives by tower
investigators
•
Common processes for data quality assessment and gap filling now
evolving
•
Collaborative analyses that build on single site investigations
•
Enabling data availability browsing and simple analyses
Leads to dramatically increased data availability – 600+ site years from 250+
sites now available
Requires help from investigators: no longer bypass common processes and
the archives, apply their own corrections, lose data files, etc which
can make comparing results problematic
Ameriflux data server
•
Common data repository capturing provenance information and
common data processing
•
Ancillary and biological data being incorporated
•
Data browsing, mining, and plotting capabilities
•
Data repository that is easy to maintain, load with data, and expand
capabilities
Reduce cut & paste manipulation of data
Dramatically increase the scale of the data that can be analyzed
Large Data Archives
Ameriflux/Fluxnet Data Intersection
Local measurements
All data and site ancillary data are held in a relational (SQL) database
•
Available data from ORNL web archive automatically downloaded and
ingested into the database
•
Site ancillary data updated infrequently by manual load
Selected data and site ancillary data flow into data cubes (OLAP database)
Client visualization and analysis tools query the database or data cube
Reports and Excel Pivot
Table and Chart
CSV Files
Fully normalized schema for both data and
ancillary/biological data
Built in versioning to handle data changes
for cleaning
