Oensingen (SO)
Site description
Oensingen (CH-Oe2) is the only arable site within the Swiss FluxNet. Eddy covariance flux measurements started in December 2003, making this site the second longest running cropland site globally. The site is located at 452 m als and is managed as a typical intensive crop rotation under the Swiss Integrated Management framework (IP Suisse) of the Proof of Ecological Performance. The tower coordinates are: 47°17'11.1" N and 7°44'01.5" E; WGS84 47.286417, 7.73375.
