Investigators and Partners

This site is currently operated by:

• Prof Jason Beringer (Micrometeorology)(UWA)

Project Overview

The site provides nationally consistent observations micrometeorology (climate, radiation, fluxes of carbon and water). The tower will provide longterm measurements as part of the Ozflux network and the infrastructure is partly funded through the NCRIS TERN OzFlux facilities.

The Site Location

The Collie flux station is located approximately 10km southeast of Collie, near Perth, Western Australia. It was established in August 2017 and the flux instrumentation is managed by The University of Western Australia. The Collie OzFlux Site is located at: 33.420 S,116.237 E and 384m elevation.

Site Characteristics

The flux tower site is located within an area of wandoo woodland. Elevation of the site is close to 384 m. Climate information comes from the nearby Collie BoM AWS station 009628 (1899 to present) and shows mean annual precipitation is approximately 933 mm with highest rainfall in June and July of ~176 mm each month. Maximum temperatures range from 30.5?C (in Jan) to 15.5?C (in July), while minimum temperatures range from 4.2?C (in July) to 13.2 ?C (in Jan).
