Model simulations were conducted to investigate the role of soil moisture on the terrestrial carbon and water cycles. The data are composed of NetCDF files generated by the simulations that contain the data variables analyzed in the paper. and CLM5 Documentation - http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm2/land/.

Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) is an emission of photons during photosynthesis that can be used to make inferences about gross primary productivity (GPP) and carbon uptake of vegetation. With a recent proliferation of available satellite-based observations of SIF, there is much interest in assessing how SIF relates to GPP across multiple temporal and spatial scales. Tower-based observations of SIF at high temporal resolution provide a key link between satellite data and local surface-based observations of ecosystem productivity. We collected tower-based observations of SIF and several vegetation indices using a PhotoSpec spectrometer system deployed on the AmeriFlux tower at UMBS (US-UMB). As the data were collected alongside concurrent eddy flux observations of carbon exchange, they provide a unique opportunity to explore how SIF and other vegetation signals relate to GPP in a temperate deciduous forest and better inform the interpretation of satellite observations.

The data contain the daily-averaged atmospheric concentrations of CO2 tracers in the Northern Hemisphere simulated from a tagged tracer transport model GEOS-Chem v12.0.0. Thirteen land flux regions are defined and tagged in the model to separate their imprints on the long-term atmospheric CO2 seasonal amplification in Northern Hemisphere. A file describing the delineation of these land flux regions is also provided. See the README file for more details on the dataset and model configurations.

Files contain the atmospheric CO2 mole fraction responses to land flux type (HRcasa, HRcorpse, HRmimics) and land flux region (latband variable). Land flux regions are categorized as: Northern Hemisphere high latitudes (NHL; 61 to 90°N), midlatitudes (NML; 24 to 60°N), tropics (NT; 1 to 23°N), Southern Hemisphere tropics (ST; 0 to 23°S), and extratropics (SE; 24 to 90°S). See the README file for how these land flux region definitions relate to the file's latband variable. and To cite dataset: Basile, S., Lin, X., Keppel-Aleks, G. (2019).
