This set contains half-hourly driving data and observations used in the simulations described in gmd-2018-313 (doi:10.5194/gmd-2018-313). Originally, this data is part of the FLUXNET2015 dataset (doi:10.17616/R36K9X). We have quality checked and gap-filled this data to suit the simulations. The upload contains site specific csv-files, a data header that is common to all files and a README. The actual data contains half-hourly values for: gross primary production (GPP, mol m-2 s-1) evapotranspiration (ET, kg m-2 s-1) air temperature (air_temp, degrees celcius) air pressure (air_pressure, Pa) precipitation (precip, kg m-2 s-1) specific humidity (qair, kg kg-1) wind speed (wspeed, m s-1) CO2 concentration (CO2, mol mol-1) shortwave radiation (shortwave, W m-2) longwave radiation (longwave, W m-2) potential shortwave radiation (mpot, W m-2) The sites (named by their FLUXNET identifier) and the years of data in this set are: CA-Obs (Saskatchewan) 1999-2006 CA-Ojp (Saskatchewan) 2004-2006 CA-Qfo (Quebec) 2003-2010 FI-Hyy (Hyytiälä) 1999-2006 FI-Ken (Kenttärova) 2003-2010 FI-Let (Lettosuo) 2010-2012 FI-Sod (Sodankylä) 2001-2008 RU-Fyo (Fyodorkovskoye) 2002-2009 RU-Zot (Zotino) 2002-2004 US-Prr (Poker Flat) 2011-2013
