OzFlux is a network of micrometeorological flux stations located at various sites within Australia and New Zealand.

OzFlux is part of a global network (see LINKS) of over 500 sites (as at March 1, 2010) where exchanges of carbon dioxide, water vapour, and energy between terrestrial ecosystem and atmosphere are measured continuously over long periods.
