Abstract

This is 500 MHz Ground Penetrating Radar collected sporadically along the AB Line from 2012 to 2014 and along L2 (Site 0) from 2011 to 2014. A smaller area along AB line has also been surveyed in 2013 and 2014. Some of the surveys have been performed in the summer and fall season to estimate thaw depth (thaw depth measured right before the start of the freezing season have been used as proxy for active layer thickness). Some of the surveys have been performed in late fall when a thin snow layer was covering the ground and thus provide information on both thaw depth and snow depth. Finally, some surveys have been performed in the winter and provide snow depth only. The used velocity to calculate depth from GPR travel time have been estimated based on the site characteristics. Some collocated measurement of thaw and snow depth using a tile probe are also provided. The archive contains 17 *.csv datafile and 18 *.csv metadata files. The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a 15-year research effort (2012-2027) 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).},

Frost Table Elevation across a Low-Centered and a High-Centered Polygon, Mapped using Ground Penetrating Radar, Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska, 2015

Dataset Dafflon, Baptiste ; Soom, Florian ; Peterson, John ; ...

Ground Penetrating Radar, active layer thickness point measurements, and ground elevation surveys were conducted on a low-centered and a high-centered polygon in Utqiagvik (Barrow), AK (on October 2nd, 2015) to map frost table topography and evaluate its influence on hydrological flow. Data were collected to improve our understanding of the topography of the permafrost table across polygons which may have a major influence on hydrology. This dataset includes 2 zip files containing the raw data, 2 csv files of processed data, and a pdf user guide.The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a research effort to reduce uncertainty inmore »« less
Airborne Imagery Collections, Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska, 2013

Dataset Cherry, Jessica ; Crowder, Kerri

The data here are orthomosaics, digital surface models (DSMs), and individual frames captured during low altitude airborne flights in 2013 at the Barrow Environmental Observatory. The orthomosaics, thermal IR mosaics, and DSMs were generated from the individual frames using Structure from Motion techniques. Data were collected to characterize the optical and thermal properties of the landscape and how they differ between two points in time with different vegetative and hydrologic conditions. The orthomosaic tiles, thermal IR mosaics, and DSMs are geotiffs in NAD 83 UTM Zone 4 named by their lower-left coordinate. Metadata for the raw imagery are contained inmore »« less
Hydraulic Conductivity Measurements, Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska, 2014

Dataset McKnight, Katie ; Ulrich, Craig ; Geller, Jill ; ...

Six individual ice cores were collected from the Barrow Environmental Observatory in Barrow, Alaska, in May of 2013 as part of the Next Generation Ecosystem Experiment (NGEE). Each core was drilled at a different location to varying depths. After drilling, the cores were stored in coolers packed with dry ice and flown to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) in Berkeley, CA. 3-dimensional images of the cores were constructed using medical X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner at 120kV. Hydraulic conductivity samples were extracted from these cores at LBNL Richmond Field Station in Richmond, CA, in February 2014 by cutting 5 tomore »« less
CT Scans of Cores Metadata, Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska, 2015

Dataset Kneafsey, Tim

Individual ice cores were collected from Barrow Environmental Observatory in Barrow, Alaska, throughout 2013 and 2014. Cores were drilled along different transects to sample polygonal features (i.e. the trough, center and rim of high, transitional and low center polygons). Most cores were drilled around 1 meter in depth and a few deep cores were drilled around 3 meters in depth. Three-dimensional images of the frozen cores were constructed using a medical X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner. TIFF files can be uploaded to ImageJ (an open-source imaging software) to examine soil structure and soil densities within each core.The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments:more »« less
Plant Available Nutrients, Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska, Ver. 1

Dataset Sloan, Victoria ; Iversen, Colleen ; Liebig, Jennifer ; ...

This dataset reports measurements of plant available nutrients made using Plant Root Simulator (PRS) probes (Western Ag Innovations Inc.) during 2012 and 2013 at the Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments (NGEE) Arctic field site near Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska. In 2012, Ca, Mg, K, P, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, B, S, Pb, Al, Cd, NO3-N and NH4-N availability were measured during spring, summer and winter from probes installed in the centers, edges and troughs of four polygons in each of four areas of contrasting moisture regime and polygon type (Areas A, B, C, and D of Intensive Site 1). In 2013, probes weremore »« less
