Large-scale estimates of the patterns of and controls on CO{sub 2} flux in arctic Alaska in relation to global change

Journal Article Oechel, W C ; Vourlitis, G ; Crawford, T ; ... - Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America

Recent warming and drying in the arctic has resulted in a change from CO{sub 2} sink to CO{sub 2} source with respect to the atmosphere. The large stores of soil carbon of perhaps up to 177 PgC, and its sensitivity changes in soil temperature and soil moisture, mean that strong positive feedbacks on atmospheric CO{sub 2} and climate change are possible and make understanding the patterns of and controls on CO{sub 2} flux important. However, the large spatial variability in arctic tundra composition and trace gas fluxes make large-scale estimations challenging. We are using a combinations of rapid cuvette, tower-basedmore »« less
NGEE Arctic CO2, CH4 and Energy Eddy-Covariance (EC) Flux Tower Auxiliary Measurements, Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska, 2012 - Ongoing

Dataset Dengel, Sigrid ; Billesbach, Dave ; Torn, Margaret

Measurements began in September 2012 and are generally made throughout the snow-free growing season starting from April (pre-thawing) until November (freeze-up) when the instrumentation is taken down for maintenance and instrument calibration. CO2, CH4 and energy fluxes using the Eddy Covariance (EC) technique (Baldocchi 2003) and meteorological measurements are reported as 30-minute averages. The tower site is registered with AmeriFlux as US-NGB. See http://ameriflux.lbl.gov/sites/siteinfo/US-NGB for more information.Reported data include: (1) additional/extra meteorological and eddy covariance CO2, CH4 and energy flux data, (2) binned spectra for the three wind components, the sonic temperature and gas densities together with the binned cospectramore »« less

Dataset Dengel, Sigrid ; Torn, Margaret

Measurements began in July 2017 and are made year-round (2017 seasonal only) on the tussock tundra with discontinuous permafrost at the Council Road Site on the Seward Peninsula. CO2, CH4 and energy fluxes using the Eddy Covariance (EC) technique (Baldocchi 2003) and meteorological measurements are reported as 30-minute averages. The tower site is registered with AmeriFlux as US-NGC.

A New Approach for Reducing Uncertainty in Biospheric CO ₂ Flux

Technical Report Wharton, Sonia ; Falk, Matthias ; Osuna, Jessica ; ...

In the 2010 Global Carbon Project Report it was estimated that the terrestrial biosphere sequesters 2.4 Pg of anthropogenic carbon emissions per year although the uncertainty on that value is undoubtedly high as no error bars were given. As man-made emissions of CO ₂ continue to increase unabated in the atmosphere, quantifying the fate of these anthropogenic sources requires both knowing the magnitude and uncertainty of background, natural CO ₂ fluxes. Thus, reducing uncertainty in biospheric CO ₂ flux measurements will not only give us direct, accurate observations for future carbon accounting and climate treaties but also indirectly help usmore »« less

Research on the seasonal snow of the Arctic Slope. Annual progress report, January 16, 1988--December 31, 1988

Technical Report Benson, C S

The original objectives of this research included a regional study of snow on the entire Arctic Slope. During the first year the scope was restricted to the R{sub 4}D area. In the second and third years the primary focus was also on the R{sub 4}D area,but measurements were made at Prudhoe Bay, Atgasuk and Wainwright to determine the flux of wind-blown snow on a wider scale. Additional broadening of scope was discussed at the San Diego R{sub 4}D meetings in April 1986 and 1987 and at the extrapolation workshop held at Penn State University in Spring 1987. The broadening ofmore »« less
