Welcome to the page on all things AMP Webinar. The AmeriFlux Management Project (AMP) series focuses on sharing a wide range of information relevant to the AmeriFlux community (e.g., website updates, tutorials on accessing AmeriFlux data, etc.). We want to provide helpful tools for flux scientists, every step of the way – from generating flux data to using them in cool science! To this end, once a month, AMP members will walk you through various aspects of AmeriFlux and answer your questions.
The series will kick off with a discussion of the AmeriFlux onboarding process led by AmeriFlux Lead PI Margaret Torn. Similar presentations about various related topics are scheduled through April 2021.
The AmeriFlux Management Project team designed its webinar series in response to the impacts of COVID-19 on AmeriFlux work and operations, out of a desire to strengthen information sharing between the AMP project team and members of the AmeriFlux community. While most AmeriFlux activities and services have gone on interrupted amid the pandemic, some activities and services were paused or rescheduled.
While this series focuses on practical tutorials, also keep an eye on the associated science seminar series that we are co-sponsoring with the FLUXNET Early Career Network!
Our webinars are open to all, access is free, and registration is required. We will use virtual meeting software zoom for live webinars and provide links to recordings after the event.

Past AMP Webinars
August 17, 10AM Pacific Time: On-boarding process (Margaret S. Torn)
Our first seminar is aimed at new flux tower teams – those who joined the network in the last 1-2 years or are thinking about joining! Learn about the resources and advantages of being a member of the AmeriFlux network, and meet the team members who are available for tech and data support. Ask your burning questions and leave with the knowledge of what it means to be an AmeriFlux member site!

October 19, 9AM Pacific Time: Requirements for processing a site using ONEFlux (AMP Team)
In this webinar we’ll present key requirements for processing AmeriFlux site data with the ONEFlux pipeline, generating a set of products compatible with FLUXNET2015. We will discuss the process starting from AmeriFlux data (BASE) and metadata (BADM) available for a site, generating a configuration for running ONEFlux, and the execution of the pipeline, finally generating the product with gap-filled micromet and flux variables, partitioned CO2 fluxes, estimates of energy-balance-closure coefficients, and estimates of uncertainties. We’ll also cover aspects such as: required and suggested variables for the processing, the QA/QC process for BASE, upcoming metadata collection on how to select and aggregate variables representative of tower footprint for the processing, future regional and global flux products.
