This dataset consists of measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer in dry eucalypt woodland using eddy covariance techniques.

The Collie flux station was located approximately 10km southeast of Collie, near Perth, Western Australia. It was established in August 2017 and stopped measuring in November 2019.

This data is also available at http://data.ozflux.org.au . 
Credit
We at TERN acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians throughout Australia, New Zealand and all nations. We honour their profound connections to land, water, biodiversity and culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. The Collie Flux Site was managed by the University of Western Australia. The flux station was part of the Australian OzFlux Network and the international FLUXNET Network. 
Purpose
The purpose of the Collie flux station was:
to provides nationally consistent observations micrometeorology (climate, radiation, fluxes of carbon and water).
to provide long-term measurements as part of the OzFlux network
The tower was a component of the UWA critical zone observatory.
