***General Introduction***
This dataset contains data collected during maize/wheat growth experiments at the Yangling Irrigation Experiment Station located in Northwest China (34¡ã17¡ä N, 108¡ã04¡ä E, 521 m above sea level), as part of Yunfei Wang's paper:
Seasonal and interannual variation in evapotranspiration, energy flux, and Bowen ratio over a dry semi-humid cropland in Northwest China
It is being made public in order for other researchers to use this data in their own
work.
The data in this data set was collected the Yangling Irrigation Experiment Station located in Northwest China (34¡ã17¡ä N, 108¡ã04¡ä E, 521 m above sea level), between June 2013
and June 2018.
This research project was made possible by a grant from National Natural Science of China (51879223).
***Purpose of the test campaign***
The purpose of these experiments was to (1) characterize seasonal variation in ET and its components in order to identify the important controlling environmental factors; (2) investigate seasonal variation in energy fluxes and determine the energy budget; and (3) assess the effects of crop growth on ET, Bowen ratio (¦Â), the Priestley-Taylor coefficient (¦Á), and canopy conductance (Gc) and examine the relationships between Gc and other surface parameters.
***Test equipment***
The data were measured by EC system and meteorology station.
