As noted, we chose to use the FluxNet-provided energy balance corrected turbulent heat fluxes.The energy balance gap in eddy-covariance measurements is an extensively studied topic (Foken, 2008; Kidston et al., 2010; Wilson et al., 2002), though no strong consensus has been reached on how to account for gaps in the observed energy balance (or even whether one should). However, because we will be using models and methods that enforce energy conservation, we chose to use the corrected fluxes provided by the FluxNet data providers (Pastorello et al., 2020).
