Introduction
Terrestrial Environment Research Center (TERC) started its long-term measurement
of the surface heat and water balance at its surface heat and water balance
field in 1981, and is continuing the observation. The field is circle in
shape and has a 30-meter tower at its center. On the tower, profiles of
air temperature, humidity and turbulance fluxes are measured and while,
on the ground of the field, various measurements relevant to the surface
heat and water budget are also being made. These include radiation components,
ground water levels, soil temperature and soil heat flux. The measured
data averaged over various time scale (30min., 1hour, 1day) are available
on the web page (http://www.suiri.tsukuba.ac.jp). Some of that can be dated
back to 1980's. Among the measurements, basic meteorological and hydrological
parameters are provided for CEOP2.
