Attribution of urban evapotranspiration observed with eddy-covariance to surface cover types: bottom-up or top-down?

Description:
Data contains meteorological and heat flux observations from two eddy-covariance towers, a ceilometer, and a leaf area index campaign for 2019 in the Urban Research Garden in Steglitz (ROTH) and on top of the TU Berlin campus (TUCC), Berlin, Germany. Observation sites are part of the Urban Climate Observatory (UCO),  www.uco.berlin". 

The leaf area index is averaged for the high (>1.5m) and low vegetation transects. Interpolation has been performed as described in the related publication.

Keywords:
