NGEE Arctic Leaf Spectral Absorptance, Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska, 2015-2016
- Brookhaven National Laboratory
Leaf level reflectance on each sample leaf was measured using a portable, full range (i.e. 0.35 to 2.5 microns) Spectra Vista Corporation (SVC) HR-1024i spectroradiometer, together with a leaf clip assembly with an internal, calibrated light source (SVC, Poughkeepsie, NY, USA). Each measurement was referenced against a LabSphere Spectralon (R) standard (LabSphere, Inc., North Sutton, NH, USA) to calculate leaf reflectance from the ratio of target and standard calibrated radiance measurements for each leaf. For each leaf, we collected two to five measurements over the leaf adaxial surface to calculate an average, depending on the leaf size and morphology. Spectral discontinuities in the detector overlap areas were corrected using the SVC instrument software prior to sample averaging and other quality control steps, as described previously (Serbin et al., 2014) using the R-FieldSpectra package (https://github.com/serbinsh/R-FieldSpectra). Refer to Serbin et al (2017) for the complete spectral reflectance dataset. We then calculated leaf spectral absorptance using the measured leaf reflectance following the approach of Wu et al., (2018), based on the original method derived by Shiklomanov et al., (2016) using the PEcAnRTM package (https://github.com/PecanProject/pecan/tree/develop/modules/rtm). This dataset contains one xlsx file, one csv file, and one pdf file.The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a research effort to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models by developing a predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems and feedbacks to climate. NGEE Arctic was supported by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research.The NGEE Arctic project had two field research sites: 1) located within the Arctic polygonal tundra coastal region on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) and the North Slope near Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska and 2) multiple areas on the discontinuous permafrost region of the Seward Peninsula north of Nome, Alaska.Through observations, experiments, and synthesis with existing datasets, NGEE Arctic provided an enhanced knowledge base for multi-scale modeling and contributed to improved process representation at global pan-Arctic scales within the Department of Energy's Earth system Model (the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, or E3SM), and specifically within the E3SM Land Model component (ELM).
