New visualization tool for surface-atmosphere exchange data
May 7, 2026
NEON has released a new Surface–Atmosphere Exchange (SAE) Data Visualization Tool. This tool provides a quick, interactive view of fluxes and key meteorological drivers. Users can preview time series, QC information, and site-level patterns before downloading data.
NEON CO2 flux data from Steigerwaldt-Chequamegon NEON field site (STEI), June 15 - July 15, 2025
