Initiatives

Several network initiatives were discussed in the breakout sessions. Stay tuned for information on the following:

• Year of Methane activities, led by Gavin McNicol and Sara Knox (and read “AmeriFlux PI Meeting 2018: A hot moment for methane“)
• Soil carbon flux synthesis efforts, led by Debjani Sihi
• BADM synthesis and recommendations, led by Dave Moore

Thank you for all the great suggestions for improvements to AMP tools and services. We have started incorporating feedback, such as visualizations for flux-met variable naming—now available at Data Variable Qualifier Examples.  Please keep the feedback coming (ameriflux-support@lbl.gov).
