3-years of (O)VOC and ozone flux measurements at a mixed temperate forest at the Vielsalm ICOS ecosystem station (Belgium)

This dataset contains (oxygenated) volatile organic compound ((O)VOC) and ozone concentration and flux measurements obtained at the ICOS ecosystem site in Vielsalm, Belgium. Fluxes are provided either above the canopy (51 m above ground level) or in the trunk space (3 m above ground level) of the mixed temperate forest. High frequency (O)VOC (PTR-ToF-MS 4000, Ionicon Analytik GmbH, Austria) and ozone (T400 UV Absorption ozone analyser, Teledyne Technologies Inc, CA, USA, in combination with a fast ozone analyser) observations were combined with turbulence measurements (HS-50 sonic anemometer, Gill Instrument Ltd, UK) to compute eddy covariance fluxes using either the EddyPro© (ozone) or GEddySoft ((O)VOCs) software.

Detailed site description, characterization of the site, and ancillary measurements performed by the ICOS network, can be found in the ICOS portal, BE-Vie station webpage.
