Paper doi abstract bibtex Abstract The eddy covariance (EC) flux stations have great limitations in the evaluation of the global net ecosystem carbon exchange (NEE) and in the uncertainty reduction due to their sparse and uneven distribution and spatial representation.

In this study, we developed a framework for estimating NEE at meteorological stations.

We innovatively established the Euclidean distance‐based accuracy projection algorithm of the R square ( R 2 ), which could test the accuracy of each model to estimate the NEE of the specific flux at the weather station. Only the model with the highest R 2 was selected from the models with a prediction accuracy of R 2 \textgreater 0.5 for the specific meteorological stations to estimate its NEE. 4674 out of 10,289 weather stations around the world might match at least one of the 566 NEE estimation models with a projected accuracy of R 2 \textgreater 0.5. The NEE estimation models we screened for the meteorological stations showed a reliable performance and a higher accuracy than the former studies.
