The data can be open and read by TXT, IDL,fortran and some other tools. Surface fluxes contain two different 
depth of 5cm and 10cm,they are Soil_G_1_AVG and Soil_G_2_AVG. Time range
 is from March 2007 to May 2007. The data of soil fluxes is recorded each half an hour.
It contains four columns. They are time,record, the value of Soil_G_1_AVG and the value of Soil_G_2_AVG.


Header of the file is listed as following:
