*************************************************************************** * Meteorological and flux data measured at Sakai city area * * by Dr. M. Ueyama (Osaka Prefecture University). * * 2017.03.06 *************************************************************************** Overview For understanding greenhouse gases, heat, and energy exchange in urban area, we have conducted continuous observations using the eddy covariance technique in three urban locations (the dense urban built-up, sub-urban, and urban park) in Sakai, Osaka, Japan. Study sites and period SAC (34o34f25ffN, 135o28f59ffE) : Sakai City Office (dense urban built-up) (2009.11 - now) IZM (34o33f48ffN, 135o22f01ffE) : Oizumi Urban Park (urban park) (2015.02-2016.01) OPU (34o32f50ffN, 135o30f10ffE) : Osaka Prefecture University (suburban area) (2014.12 - now for the eddy covariance; 2008 - now for meteorology) We would like to know about the type of research for which our data will be used, and to check for a possible overlapping with our current on-going research. In some cases, we may request some coordination of the publications, or a co-authorship in the research. When your work is published using the data we provided, please notify us and send us a copy of the publication.
