The data sets were measured at an LTER site in the eastern reed belt of Lake Neusiedl near the Biological station Illmitz in Austria. The site includes an eddy covariance tower with biometeorological measurements.

• Biometeorological parameters: Air temperature (Tair), relative humidity (rH), air pressure (PA), water vapor pressure deficit (VPD), absolute water vapor pressure (ea), saturated water vapor pressure (es), shortwave incoming radiation (SWin), shortwave outgoing radiation (SWout), longwave incoming radiation (LWin), longwave outgoing radiation (LWout), photosynthetically active photon flux density (PPFD), net radiation (Rn), wind speed (WS), maximum wind speed (WSmax), wind direction (WD) and precipitation (P).
• Sediment parameters at three depths (5, 10 and 15 cm): Sediment temperature (Ts), sediment water content (SWC) and sediment heat flux (SHF).
• Water parameters based on data from the Hydrographic Service Burgenland (German: Hydrographischer Dienst): Water temperature (Tw) and water level (WL) of Lake Neusiedl Biological station Illmitz, ground water depth (GW) from the landward edge of the reed belt of Lake Neusiedl.
