Short summary

We present a continuous dataset of carbon and energy fluxes measured over an alpine steppe in the Tibetan Plateau using the Eddy Covariance technique at 19 m. Covering a larger footprint (~ 30 ha) than the existing long-term 3 m measurements, it enables landscape-scale flux estimation, improved alignment with satellite observations, and supports studies of ecosystem modelling and satellite product validation.
