Established in 1996, the AmeriFlux network provides continuous observations of ecosystem level exchanges of carbon dioxide (CO2), water, energy and momentum spanning diurnal, synoptic, seasonal, and interannual time scales.AmeriFlux is currently composed of sites from North America, Central America, and South America.
AmeriFlux is part of a "network of regional networks" (FLUXNET) which coordinates regional and global analysis of observations from micrometeorological tower sites.
