Bigleaf.jl is a partial Julia port of Jürgen Knauer's bigleaf R package for the calculation of physical (e.g. aerodynamic conductance, surface temperature) and physiological (e.g. canopy conductance, water-use efficiency) ecosystem properties from eddy covariance data and accompanying meteorological measurements. All calculations are based on a 'big-leaf' representation of the vegetation and return representative bulk ecosystem/canopy variables.

The Bigleaf.jl package can be installed with the usual command once:

using Pkg
Pkg.add("Bigleaf")

And then importet to the every Julia session by:

using Bigleaf

See the Documentation that includes a walkthrough.

Please report bugs or issues here

We are porting functionality of the R package as needed. Please file an issue if you need a specific feature.

At the current state we ported

• Meteorological variables
• Boundary layer and Aerodynamic conductance
• Surface conductance
• Evapotranspiration
• Potential radiation
• Unit conversions
• Filtering data
