This work took place a procedure for processing the data fluxes measured by a system eddy covariance in an experimental site with representative vegetation of the Pampa biome in conjunction with measures of a meteorological station for the period 2013-11-20 to 2015-09-07. From this set of data was performed an analysis of the seasonality of surface energy fluxes and meteorological variables. The results showed that the application of different methods of corrections for the calculation of energy fluxes produces fluxes with different quality levels in relation to the energy balance closure (EBC). The slope varies up to 20% due to different combinations of corrections applied in the processing of data for calculating the average within a 30 minute interval. The correction options that showed greater sensibility were the time constant and the method of removing the turbulent fluctuations. By the diagnosis EBC has found that the change of IRGA closed path to open path improved to about 12% of the EBC, indicating a deficiency of IRGA closed path. It was also verified that the soil term (flow and storage) increased by ~ 4% EBC, indicating its importance for the natural pasture energy balance. Due to non-closure of the energy balance observed in most studies, and this also, a new method of post-closure of the energy balance was proposed, simple but careful because it is based on the quality of classification of energy fluxes (H and LE). The objective of the method is to generate a corrected series of fluxes, it is important for the calibration and validation surface models. In relation to energy partition, evapotranspiration (ET) was the predominant component, with a Fev = 61% of the available radiation and β = 51%. It varies from ~ 4 mm d-1 in the summer to ~ 1 mm d-1 in winter and is mainly controlled by atmospheric forcing (Rn, DPV, Tar) which determined its seasonal variation. In winter, its reduction was also associated with low photosynthetic activity of the vegetation. The daytime average albedo of natural grasslands of Rio Grande do Sul was 18%, with little seasonal variation. Finally, it is here suggested the inclusion of the procedures carried out in this work for the processing of data from the experimental sites SULFLUX.
