DC Flux - Diel CO2 Flux data from inland waters, 2016-2018

Marine Institute

Environment

These data derive from an international sampling programme aimed at ascertaining the extent of diel variation in CO2 flux (FCO2) across multiple lakes. Sampling took place at 21 lakes, spanning 89° of latitude and 125° of longitude. Some lakes were sampled more than once, so the
