渦相関法（EC）のエネルギー収支閉鎖率（EBC）は通常60〜80%だが、標準データ（ICOS・NEON）の解析により、土壌熱・貯熱・光合成エネルギー項の包括的考慮と品質フィルタリングで平均16%改善可能。しかし、残存する不均衡は根本的物理プロセスに起因し、補正で吸収すべきでないと主張。ECフラックス利用の実践的枠組みを提供。
English
Using standardized ICOS and NEON datasets, this study shows that comprehensive energy accounting (including soil heat, storage terms, photosynthetic demand, and strict quality filtering) improves energy balance closure (EBC) by 16% on average, with site gains up to 40%. However, a persistent residual imbalance points to fundamental physical processes not captured by standard methods. The paper argues for acknowledging this uncertainty and provides practical guidance for using EC fluxes in carbon and climate research.

日本のGX文脈において
日本のフラックス観測ネットワーク（AsiaFlux等）でも同様の課題があり、炭素収支の精緻化は国の排出量算定や気候変動適応策に直結する。本結果は日本における観測データ品質向上と補正方法の標準化に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
The study addresses a core challenge in flux measurements used globally for carbon accounting and climate modeling. By leveraging ICOS (Europe) and NEON (US) data, it provides actionable insights for network operators and researchers, emphasizing that methodological refinements alone cannot close the energy balance gap, thus guiding better uncertainty quantification.

📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT The lack of energy balance closure in Eddy‐Covariance (EC) measurements is a well‐known, still unresolved challenge in micrometeorology, with energy balance closure (EBC) rates typically ranging between 60% and 80%. While numerous hypotheses have been proposed to explain this imbalance, the relative contributions of neglected energy storage terms, data quality and flux processing options remain insufficiently disentangled. Using standardized ICOS and NEON datasets, we show that a significant portion of the observed energy imbalance can be attributed to overlooked or inconsistently handled energy components and turbulent flux quality control. Using data drawn from 84 sites, we show that comprehensive energy accounting—including soil heat flux, storage terms (soil, air, biomass), photosynthetic energy demand, and strict quality filtering of turbulent fluxes—improved EBC by 16% on average, with site‐specific gains up to 40%. However, we also identify a persistent residual imbalance that is unlikely to be resolved through methodological refinements or additional measurements alone, pointing to fundamental physical processes that are not accounted for in the standard measurement and processing. We argue that this unresolved imbalance should be explicitly acknowledged and bounded, rather than implicitly absorbed into correction schemes, and we outline practical guidance for diagnosing and interpreting EBC in standardized flux networks. This perspective evaluates methodological advances and residual uncertainties, providing an actionable framework for the appropriate use of EC energy fluxes in carbon, water, and climate research.
