Enhanced availability of the FLUXNET data
Significant parts of the FLUXNET LaThuile dataset have been authorized by PIs to be opened to the broader research community. Hence two new data policies have been created for accessing the LaThuile FLUXNET data: an "Open policy" and a "Free Fair Use policy". The main difference between the two policies is that for access to the "Open" dataset the users are requested to send a proposal which will lead to  a more collaborative effort and allow FLUXNET PIs to more strongly participate in the scientific studies, while in the "Free" dataset the access will be direct and only subject to fair-use policies(after a free registration).
 
The "Open" dataset is also larger than the "Free" dataset. All the data available under the "Free" policy are available also under the "Open" policy. For more info please refer to the text of the policies at the above links.

The availability of the data under these two policies is decided by the data owners and the decisions are collected continuously; a view of which sites/years are currently shared under the new policies is available here (updated monthly).

The interface to access the data is available at fluxdata.org. Proposals to access the data shared under the "Open policy" can be submitted now. Instructions describing how to submit a proposal are available here.
NL-Ca2 is the same site as NL-Lan . . .
The NL-Ca2 site has been delisted from the FLUXNET dataset because it is the same site as NL-Lan.  If you wish to use the data for NL-Ca2, please use NL-Lan.
CA-Man, NOBS-Manitoba new precipitation data set . . .
The precipitation data available at the CA-Man, NOBS site in northern Manitoba used a tipping bucket rain gauge.  These numbers were used for total annual precipitation in LaThuile analyses.  Hence there has been an underestimation because snowfall is missed.  To correct this, we have the precipitation data from Thompson airport, located about 50 km from the NOBS site.  Although summer time rainfall may be better characterized by the local rain gauge for some studies. posted on behalf of Brian Amiro.
FLUXNET Young Scientist Community

Fluxdata.org now contains an interactive website that provides an informal exchange platform for questions regarding research, career and funding opportunities for young scientists. Furthermore, young scientists can present themselves and meet other fellows. The website contains a blog, a wiki, a calendar of events, and a discussion forum. 

To request membership to this group, subscribe to the young-scientist mailing list using the page at https://acs.lbl.gov/mailman/listinfo/young-scientist and then email the following information to young-scientist-owner@george.lbl.gov  

  Full name:
  Institution / Affiliation:
  Young Scientist Status (Undergraduate / Master / PhD student / Postdoc):
  If you are a Postdoc please confirm that you are not a group leader and/or you are not the main supervisor for PhD students:

  Starting date of the Young Scientist Status (current position):
  When is your expected date to finish your current appointment (e.g. graduation date or end of postdoctoral contract):

Data Release Policy Selection Underway . . .
Site PIs now have the opportunity to choose between three policies for release of their data.  These policies include a revised La Thuile policy that limits the data access to data providers, a more open policy that enables non-data providers to have access to the data via proposals, and an open fair use policy that enables open download without a proposal.  Site PIs who are interested in making their election selections, can do so using the "Data Policy Selection" menu item in the left hand menu on the fluxdata home page once logged in.
Epot units verification underway
Dear users, we are currently checking the units and equations used to calculate the potential evapotranspiration. If you are using this variable please wait further communications about the correctness of the calculation. Posted on behalf of Dario Papale.
Matlab 2009 access to the data cube is now working. . .
The Matlab package we provide to connect to data cubes was not working with Matlab 2009.  We just resolved the problem and a new package that will work with Matlab 2009 and earlier is available.  If you are having trouble connecting to data cubes from an older version of Matlab, please try deleting any old versions of the data cube access library and installing the latest version of our Matlab data cube access package from here.
Published papers based on the La Thuile FLUXNET Synthesis Dataset
There is now a page listing the published papers that are the result of the FLUXNET Synthesis effort begun in La Thuile.  As papers are published, they will be posted here. Additional material including appendices of the papers can be accessed by members of FLUXNET here.
Map of towers selected by a paper . . .
Now for any paper that has specified the towers in their analysis, you can get a map of the towers in use by the paper (specified by the writers of the paper).  The map can be found at http://www.fluxdata.org/DataInfo/Dataset%20Doc%20Lib/TowersSelectedByPaper.aspx. Once you get to the map, select the paper using the selector at the top and it will show you any towers that have been selected by that paper.  The resulting map is interactive.  If you float over a dot, you will get information about the tower.  You can also zoom in and out, navigate around, and switch to a map (road) view.
